BIGFOOT CROSSING OHIO RIVER


There was  a possible sighting of a large group of bigfoot swimming across the Ohio River a few years ago [possibly around 2017]. 

There appears to be little known, with no "official" public report having been filed that is accessible.  Here is what I have discovered so far.

Cryptid researcher, Jack Quinn has related the story he was told.

An older couple out fishing in either late fall or early winter observed a group of around 15 bigfoot swimming across the Ohio River. The bigfoot crossed from West Virginia and came ashore in the Darwin, Ohio area. It was further reported that the bigfoot then followed the old Peabody Coal belt line path to the plains where they eventually split into three groups.  Additional information was supplied by a park ranger at a later date.

Jack also said that while he was staying with friends in the area that they saw a police car going to another cabin down the hill.  This man reported to the police that he had his dog disappear off his chain and collar and all that he saw was a black mass going into the woods. The ranger stated that he had seen a blacked out SUV with government plates in the area. The individual was reported to have walked around the area and then left. When the ranger was asked if he thought the activity was from a bigfoot,  he said that the "individuals" weren't "playing by the rules" and were taking pets and livestock, which is how they were being "tracked". The question of was it a bigfoot was never directly answered.

The involved area is filled with powerlines and creeks which are often paths used by bigfoot while traveling from one area to another.

This location is also in the same area as Salt Fork State Park which has had its share of reports of encounters and experiences.

Since there is no official record or report made, it is hard to say what is happening in this area. 

In the past few months, there have been some hoaxes widely publicized as "real sightings". And I have heard some tall tales from the area of alleged bigfoot activity and some dubious photos from the Salt Fork State Park area. Oftentimes where real events are happening, all kinds of misleading information crops up.

I don't know if that is what is happening here or not.

It would be interesting if anyone has more information on this series of events. If anyone does, they can contact me through "comments" on this post. Whatever you say does not have to be made public, unless you wish it. Your identity can be withheld from public view, but I would need to know exactly who you are before dealing with your information.
