Weird Wednesday: Bigfoot Sighted in Ohio

Posted: 18 May 2011 06:08 AM PDT

On Sept. 22, 2007, a woman was driving to her home one evening near Saybrook, Ohio, when she had the following experience:

I was coming home with my oldest son from grocery shopping. As we were approaching our house, something crossed the roadway about 30 feet in front of us. It had dark fur. I would say it only took 3 steps to cross the 2-lane road, it walked on 2 legs and had considerably long arms. I was set back for a moment. We do have bears but this distinctly was walking on 2 long legs, definitely taller than my SUV. This was seen at dusk. Our road is about 2 miles long, fairly secluded, farms, heavily wooded areas, various ponds/streams. [The creature] entered into the wooded area that runs between me and my neighbors. As I pulled into my driveway about 200 feet back from road, we got out of the car  and there was an awful dead-animal smell, like rotted skunk, and we heard breaking twigs. We got spooked and went into the house. I went outside an hour later to get the last grocery bag I forgot. The smell was completely gone. I never told anybody except my husband. I didn’t want people to think I was crazy. I am a mother of 5 beautiful children and this was an experience I will not forget.
