BFRO #41270: Possible daylight sighting while driving in farm country near Nashville

📍 Location

📝 Description

I have two things to report: 1) I think I saw a bigfoot2) A few weeks later, I think I heard itWhere do you start making a report about this? All I can say is that after what I saw and heard, I have to support the other person that made a report because I have to back them up.In mid May, 2013, I was returning from Buckeye Deli in Nashville Ohio on a deserted back road, (TR211 on my way to CR22). It was early dusk because I wanted to get some cigarettes at the store before it got dark. I stopped for several minutes to take pictures of some horses on the side of the road. I was listening to live Grateful Dead,"Two From the Vault," on the Ford Expedition's CD player. I was enjoying thinking about being off work from traveling this summer, and appreciating this beautiful place that we call home. The road is very scenic. There is a canopy of trees which makes it cool to drive through in the hot summer. The road cuts through a hill on the left and a ravine on the right. There are no guard rails and it is a dirt road. You don't travel this road in the winter if it is snowy and icy. There are a few houses and farms nearby but mostly it is just wooded and remote. Just locals for the most part go by every now and then. So after several minutes of nature watching, (I have three photographs), I decided to go forward and as I put the car into gear, about 250 feet ahead of me I saw a big black creature leap from the hillside into the ravine. I said outloud to myself, "What the hell was that?" I made a mental note to watch for deer, as we all do around here, but then I got thinking about what I saw. It was definitely black or dark colored. Since it was filtered light I realized that it couldn't be a deer that was sillhouetted dark, because the sun wasn't right for that. There was a cover of trees. I went back another day at the same time and confirmed it with my brother-in-law and husband. So after I saw it, I got nervous because I believed that I may just have seen real sasquatch! I have seen the TV show a couple of times, but didn't really think about it much. I drove forward to where I saw whatever it was cross the road, (arms / front legs in the air, big body lower, leaping into the woods), and didn't see anything after that. I can't say how big it was. It fits the profile looking back in my mind now. I remember at the time thinking at first that I saw a deer, and that it was a very big deer, (the kind that people would be proud to get around here in season), and that I should watch out on my way home. Then I started thinking about what I saw, and knew that it wasn't a deer. I have to admit going down the road a bit that after a cursory glance, looking for whatever I saw...I kind of wanted to get the heck out of there. I called my sister-in-law on my way back to tell her that I think I saw a sasquatch, (she likes to joke about sasquatch stuff). She can verify that I was a little shaken up by it. I was still reeling when I got home a few minutes later, still on the phone with her, and reported it to my husband. After a few minutes discussion, he said that it was probably a bear, which I was OK with.I thought about it for awhile that night and went on to other things. After several days, (it was still on my mind), I decided to look online to see if there was any other reports out there for Holmes County, Ohio. After a google search, I found BFRO and read the report from June 2012 for that very same area! That blew me away because we are in a very rural area in the middle of nowhere. What were the chances of having a report HERE! So I started to think that maybe it was a sasquatch. I sent an e-mail to BFRO and got a call the next morning from the Ohio investigator. He sounded very credible to me, and while I was rushing around getting ready for a job interview, I had to tell him what I saw. He blew me away when he told me that there have been several reports from my area in the past 6 months. Now I was really concerned that this might be real. Word went out to our family about my possible squatch sighting, and this past Sunday of Memorial Day weekend, my brother-in-law came down for a visit because everyone else was out of town. So the three of us re-traced my steps down TR211 about the same time of day so I could verify that the light would not make a deer look black. I have the three pictures of horses from where I was parked when I saw it. We matched up the area and took another look. We stopped where we thought that it crossed before the bend in the road, looked over, and noticed that the fence was bent. There was no fur stuck to it. There was a black thing on it but we didn't think it was fur. Maybe I should go back and look again! lol My brother-in-law said that the area looked squatchy. There was a canopy of trees, hills, a stream, wildlife and seclusion. Here's the best part of the story...On Sunday of Memorial Day weekend a few weeks after my sighting, we made a big warm bonfire because it was in the mid 30s and

🔍 Circumstances

Sighting = I was the only one that "saw" it. I called my sister-in-law immediately in a state of excitement and wonder. I told my husband about it as soon as I got home. They know me well and could tell that I was lit up about this event. Then a few weeks later, my brother-in-law called to it. Something answered that sounded like the audio clips we heard. It was in the direction of where I saw it. He called it again, (he is good at it), and it, or something, answered again louder and longer. It did not sound human. So now I am not the only one that had an experience with this thing!
