Sighting Text:
TR 61 SEPT 96 Next we went to Muddy Lane, 6 miles west of Plainfield. The area was beautiful, a 100 foot wall of sandstone edging a water filled trough. Betty Parks, Don Keating, et al, brought John Green here in the winter cold of 1989. He had a tough time negotiating a mound, Betty said, sliding a bit. I shot a few photos, but their was a terrific downpour of rain from the approaching eye of the tropical storm. We sat in the car, soaked, and I asked Betty to tell me of "Little Goldenrod." On November 1, 1988 we came to the area and , Richard Myers said, "do you smell that?" Like burning tires, Betty said. Then they heard a God-awful sound...like something caught in the nearby quicksand near Robinson's Run, an underground River nearby. The sound was like an elephant, she said..."it's coming right at us." There was something behind us in the goldenrod, and Richard flashed the light at it and saw eyes. There was a little head and shoulders, but the little, young, Bigfoot wasn't interested in us, Betty said, but was eyeing a white sack with the remains of a fish sandwich in it.

TR 61 SEPT 96 Five miles from Coshocton, Shirley said, and seven years ago, something walked up to their trailer, five miles from Coshocton then. They could, for four nights running, hear something walking up the creek, and on the last night it banged on the hood of a car like it was pissed off, but never did that again that they know of.

Summary: PIG FOUND TORN IN TWO

Sighting Text:
TR 61 SEPT 96 Three miles southwest of Coshocton, we visited Jim and Diane Banks in their trailer house. A half mile from their house, in the winter of 1992, near the ice of a small lake, a pig was found torn in two, Jim said. Parts of the 500-600 pound pig had the insides hanging out, and a pile of dung with pig hair was found nearby. There was ice in the lake, which reminded me of an Indian tale I published earlier, where mastodon parts were left in a lake to keep the meat fresh. Shirley and Jim thought it might have been an animal mutilation," but the most recent UFO sighting there was a 1990 sighting, where a strange row of red lights was seen blinking, then turning white, and back to red again.

Summary: BF SEEN AT CAVE, CAVE WITH SEVERED DEER LEGS NEATLY ARRANGED,

Sighting Text:
OH COSHOCTON 1993 TR#71 * Book review. “Bigfoot In Ohio- Encounters with the Grassman.” Christopher L. Murphy, Joedy Cook, and George Clappison, of the Ohio Bigfoot Research & Study Group. Here’s a fascinating little gem with some real surprises for the researcher. The first portion is rather standard; lay of the land, Bigfoot In The News, 27 pages of photos and drawings, and such lore. What first caught my real attention was a chapter, “Ohio Deer Kills and Bigfoot.” Here I ran into some real meat (pun unintended). Matt Moneymaker was the source of this information. Matt’s 1992 investigation started with a hunter , stalking deer in Stark County, that had a creature approach him within 35 feet, scaring a small herd of deer away. Just after sundown, the creature saw the hunter, screamed several times, and retreated. A few days later, deer appeared again, and the hunter noted knocks of wood on a tree trunk that were answered from nearby. It is speculated that this is part of a “scare and catch” tactic by the Bigfeet, to drive deer into an ambush. Later, with his dog, tracks of Bigfoot were seen and a young deer carcass was found with a broken leg, no bullet wounds, and intact except for the belly ripped open. Later Matt investigated a sighting in Guernsey County. The farmer told of young dead deer where the legs had been broken and twisted around, the bodies left to rot. Matt returned in a few days with his wife, a medical doctor, to examine the carcasses, and she found that the belly had been ripped open and the liver was missing. Matt noted that all the dead deer had legs broken and speculated that a heavy tree branch might have been used while rushing the deer. As to why the livers were gone. It was noted that it has substantial amounts of vitamins that could be depleted in the fall and winter. Vitamin A, is critical for night vision and skin thickening, or callous formation through keratinization. Also, 90% of cholesterol production, building block of hormones, is found in this organ. There were other benefits of liver eating - like medical, mentioned...read the book and see. *** Another deer kill took Matt to Coshocton County in 1993 where he talked to a resident that had a sighting that had so moved the witness, that he erected a Bigfoot cut-out and put a sign on his barn reading “Sasquatch Valley.” Don Keating took me to this place last year when I visited Ohio. I took a photo, but the one by Peggy Tillman is much better, so I’ll reproduce it here. The witness had found deer tracks and eventually came to a natural overhang or cave where he found a number of severed deer legs neatly arranged side-by-side. Later, he was terrified when a Bigfoot entered the cave, but it did nothing. The machinist stared and backed away on the opposite side of the overhang (you really must read the whole account to appreciate). No other deer parts were found and it’s conceivable that the legs were for future consumption.

TR 73 JAN 98. Marc DeWerth of Cleveland, OH, also agreed that one of his most interesting encounters in the field was when he was standing with Richard Myers and heard the chest beating. Another of DeWerth’s encounters was the filming of apparently a primate-type of individual in the thick underbrush on April 20, 1997. This was located in the Wills Creek area of southern Coshocton Co., OH. The film is currently being worked on by Dave Bittner of Baltimore, MD.
