I saw one in 2017 near Caldwell oh. I watched it step over the guardrail as I passed by it in the semi I was driving. It's head was as tall as the top of the outside door mirror, which is 8 feet from the ground. I will never forget that!

I have a Pal who bought acreage abutting Woodbury Wildlife Area. He built a cabin 30-plus years ago. He's an avid deer hunter so he's posted there throughout the hunting season. I asked him if he had ever seen 'anything' out of the norm. He said he had not seen anything but heard 'things' and when he gets the feeling like he's being watched he heads back to the safety of his cabin.

We just went on a Bigfoot squatching excursion tonight with John!! It was awesome. He’s so intelligent, and so great and gracious as a tour guide. His knowledge is very extensive as a botanist and naturalist. We thoroughly enjoyed this excursion and even though we did not have a sighting, we did hear a weird whistle sound that could not be explained away by any other known creature in the woods here in Ohio.

Used to go to salt fork quite often back in the 70s and 80s. Have had only two peculiar experiences there. One was when the time my brother and I were on Enduro m/c and rode into the woods and camped. It was getting dark when we arrived. We built a very small fire and had a few beers. We turned in to a small two man tent which I brought along. We were just about asleep when a a deep growl that turned into a scream came from right above somewhere. It was definitely a large cat of some sort. A few seconds later we heard something hit the ground. It sounded fairly of some weight, maybe a hundred pounds or so. I've seen a couple bobcats before but whatever it was had to be bigger than a bobcat. The other experience was my girlfriend and I we're camping at a campground near Salt Fork we were riding through the back roads in the park windows open when we came across a bad stench something like roadkill. We smelled it for about the length of 100 ft or so. We thought what in the world, something must be dead and it's got to be big. I managed to turn the car around in the road intro back to see if I could see what it was. We couldn't see anything. Anyway the next day we went back to that location in the morning and there was no smell. One place for sure that I KNOW where there's a creature of some sort is Burr Oak primitive campground. A little further south of Salt Fork. I have not gone camping since Burr Oak.

The honesty and concern shown by our Ohio (dnr) officials makes me glad to be a life long Ohio resident.. keep up the excellent work!

I’ve seen and talked to this park ranger at the park. He’s a park treasure!!!

I recently went on a Bigfoot hunt with Cliff from the show finding Bigfoot on animal planet. I asked him where the most Bigfoot activity was and was surprised to hear that Ohio was a very active area. More even than my home state of Michigan

I moved to Ohio twenty six years ago. The closest I've ever come to Salt Fork State Park is Uhrichsville, which I believe is around thirty miles north of it. REALLY beautiful country down there and I most definitely want to go and spend some time in the park. This was very interesting and the gentleman in this video is quite interesting and intelligent, and I love his perspective on the subject. Excellent video.

This is really well put together - enjoyed watching. I’m a lifelong outdoorsman and have had weird unexplainable experiences in the woods in Ohio, Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Wisconsin - who knows what they could have been. Keep up the great work, guys.

In winter/spring of 2021 John Hickenbottom did a 4 part series on youtube which was put out through the Ohio DNR on Bigfoot. One of the segments last I looked had garnered around 1 million view. Fact is Ohio probably has more Bigfoot sightings and encounters than any state east of the Rockies, several thousand have been documented in one form or another, although I think Kentucky probably has a higher population of Bigfoots, but has less human population. Everyone in the Daniel Boone National Forest area know they are there, but in the past few have been willing to talk about it. In the past 10 years or so, more and more folks have come out to talk or write about their experiences. I am not a believer, in fact I am a knower having seen one on opening day of deer season, 1976 in Roscommon County, MI where my relatives and Father have hunted since the 1920s. I have lived in Darke County, OH (western SW Oh county)) since Sept of 1996, and even though it is sparse on woods (but lots of rivers, creeks, and drainage ditches which they travel) they do show up around here also. Preble county just 5 miles south is better conducive to them with more woods and rolling hills and July 30, 2022 I found a huge 20.5 inch x 10 inch width track above Twin Creek on Enterprise Road parking area outside of Gratis, OH. Had to have been a huge male maybe 10 foot tall or so. However SE and Eastern, OH is the foothills of the Appalachian Mtns and hugely forested and this is where the Bigfoot population really resides, and Salt Fork Lake area has documented many hundreds of reports, maybe thousands in its history.

Interesting presentation on the elusive subject of Bigfoot Encounters which is well filmed and narrated.

[janetstonerook]

I spent the first 70 years of my life having weird things happening to me but blaming anything and anybody but Bigfoot! I never once thought about them being here in the Eastern U.S.(if they existed at all !) Once I retired and moved back to live alone in the old family homestead in the mountains of WVa, I still was in denial. Until the Clan here decided to make me aware they had always been here and one older female who had grown up with me decided to step out of the tree shadows briefly and smile at me! That was about 7 years ago and i have learned so much since then. I'm a "knower" that they exist and I sense when they are around. But there is so very much i don't know about them. I'm just glad the Clan here are the more enlightened type and are really good neighbors!

I am the very same way. Was born and raised in South Eastern Kentucky way back in the mountains, if it wasn't for school we would have never seen any one but our family in the holler. We were way out in the hills. I am at home in the woods, most women have just come to terms that they won't see much of me because I am always in the woods and most call me feral. I never thought I would ever say anything about a big foot, but I had a run in with something I have never seen, or heard in my entire life and has kept me from running wild in the woods at night like I used to and after what I saw that night I left the woods for the first time with head lamp on a flash light and gun light on while I ran fast as I could back home. I have seen bear, seen it all, but the sound, the size and the distance it covered as quickly as it did it can only be one thing. I try to convince myself almost everyday since that incident that it was something other then what I know it was but I keep coming back to the fact that I know exactly it was. I mean I used to make fun of anyone that would ever say they had an experience, I mean I would rip on them forever the second I heard someone say something about it. But I know what I saw and I feel crazy and can never say anything to any of my buddies because they will think I am lying, but I know what I saw and wish I would have never seen it
