OTTAWA – Pinwheel structures made
with tree trunks woven together, huge footprints, and eye witness
accounts are evidence used to investigate the presence of Bigfoot in
Ohio and all over North America.
On Thursday night Doug Waller, one of
the founders of the Southeaster Ohio Society for Bigfoot
Investigation (SOSBI), spoke to a crowded room of guests at the
Putnam County Library in Ottawa.
Waller and Shawn Parker, also a founder
of SOSBI, told of eyewitness accounts they have collected through the
years of sightings of Big Foot in Ohio.
They also displayed slides showing
pinwheel structures found in woods all over the USA where there have
been Big Foot sightings.
An Ohio map on the wall had different
colored pins showing where there having been sightings and large foot
prints found in Ohio. In addition to numerous sightings in Salt Fork
State Park in Guernsey County, Waller spoke of sightings in Kenton in
Harden County and Mount Vernon in Knox County. Eye witness accounts
have indicated the creatures seen are 7-8 feet tall with footprints
19-20 inches long. They have a hairy man-like face and hairy man-like
hands.
Waller has written the book “Standing
in the Shadows” that features Bigfoot stories from Southeastern
Ohio.
