This National Park HIDES a Secret! ( in Ohio )

[@MrTim4pc]

That one drawing has Minerva on it! That's where I live!! I have a story that was told to me years ago but I haven't heard of any recent sightings. ~Enter Disclaimer~ Take this as you will, it was told to me by my XWifes 2ndAunt who was around 80 at the time. I forget her name now, but this was when she was younger (1970's) She started off by saying that she was out in the garden one summer working soil, pulling weeds and she was singing church hymns out loud to herself when she heard someone almost mocking her or singing along in the woods. She said she stood up from working on her knees, off to her left about 75 yards away near the fence line was a HUGE ape like harry creature just standing under a tree watching her. She guessed around 7-8' tall. She claimed that it didn't spook her or seem to have ill intent. She described it as having a warm blanket from God himself holding her tight and having this feeling of I'm not here to hurt you. She said it just stood there staring at her with long brownish dark hair, large blank eyes but the face of manape. She said right after that it turned and walked back into the forest and she went on with her business in the garden and figured that was odd and the end of it. Not even a few days after that she was out in the garden again pulling weeds and singing her hymns when this time the warm feeling came over her as well as a being watched feeling, she stood up and looked and under that same tree and here sat this massive ape like man with his legs crossed and back up against the tree. She didn't feel in danger or scared even. More like this creature was very intelligent and yet very curious. She kept on singing and working but was careful to not really stare or make direct eye contact as she felt safe but still a bit uneasy. She wouldn't pay any mind basically, she wouldn't here it come or go she would just know when it was there and then not. She said as the summer went on she would leave apples and grapes on the fence post by the tree and as she would work the garden that same feeling would wash over her and each time there would be this creature, she said she could see that it would come grab the fruits and always stay in the same area and would never try to get closer or seem to have ill intent. I asked her how many times did she actually see this thing and she literally said this went on weekly for about 3 months! I get things were different back then, but my mind was blown. like no way! Then she told me that one evening she was outside and her husband pulled in and when he got out of the truck he was drunk and yelling at her, waving his arms around being loud and belligerent and when he started to approach her in this manner a stone came flying out of the woods and hit him on the back of the head knocking him out cold and bleeding. From my understanding she told him about the visitor, but he had never seen it or really believed her. She said after that his attitude and drinking changed from that evening like a light switch went off in his head. She described it more as he felt it was an act of God. (being church folk at that time) But from that evening on she never felt those feelings while outside and never seen the harry wildman again. Plus she said the fruit wasn't being taken anymore. Just one story I've heard and wanted to share after watching so many or Base Camp Chris! Love this is a platform for stories to be shared of our amazing planet! Cheers from Ohio!

[@cbrippee]

My goodness Mr.Tim. This is one of the more remarkable stories I have heard, and of course the area around Minerva is famous for them like the Minerva Monster. Music hath charms to sooth the savage beast. I do believe the Aunt. I have heard of a few such cases, different of course. They definitely take more interest in women and your X aunt had a friend.

[@MrTim4pc]

@@cbrippee I agree, the way she told the story was like it was a friend, looking back I wonder if it was a young wildman and not an adult

[@cbrippee]

@@MrTim4pc They grow up to be adults faster than we do, hard to say. For sure it really took a liking to your Aunt and became her protector. Unfortantely her husband ruined it for her, but I am sure made her life better by ending his boozing. Thanks for this amazing story and it is one I will remember for many years.

Once when I was 30 2005 i think. I had drank too much and fell asleep at 6 am Sunday and woke at 4 :30or 5 pm when the sun was going down (winter.) I thought i was late to work! Drove to work but there were no cars there. I sat there head pounding and hung over. After a minute i drove home and looked on the computer. It wasn't Monday morning! It was Sunday evening. I was so relieved that i could go back to bed and had 12 hours left to rest!

I live in Ohio. Matt Moneymaker, who started the BFRO, actually elected to go to college at the University of Akron because of all of the alleged bigfoot sightings he had heard and read about in Ohio. When he wasn't in class he was stomping around the woods here and claims he had his first ever sighting in that area. Salt Fork State Park in Ohio has had a lot of alleged sightings as well.

[@kaptinkinnakeet1124]

That dude's name fits him well

[@dontettaton1063]

Yeah I'll never forget that credible couple who were standing over their fire drinking beer & they looked over to the shadows & saw a huge grassman staring at them. Many grassman nests have been found in that area too. Salt Fork state park.

[@Bobbieyounce]

I'm originally from south western Ohio in Preble County. I now live in Central Florida. My sister has heard some woops or howls in their woods.

[@heyheyEllKay]

December of 2009 we were moving across the country from California. Driving through the I-70, just south of the Salt Fork State Park, which is a well known area for Grassman sightings. Along the side of the road was a very large deer carcass, which looked as though someone had reached into the rib cage and opened it up with both hands, ripping it open at the rib cage! And we looked at each other and said, Grassman?

[@basecampchris]

Also my great grandma lived above the little cuyahoga river back probably in the 40s, my grandma told a story about her mom in the backyard doing laundry, the yard was on a hill overlooking the little cuyahoga.

[@Jeremy-jx4kq]

As a Northeast Ohioan I love CVNP. It’s the perfect getaway from the city and it’s so incredibly convenient and accessible (free to enter as well). I’ve spent plenty of time out in those woods incident-free (although I did hear a mysterious growl last fall). For an out-of-stater it might come off as underwhelming as a national park, so if you ever make it here, come with somewhat lowered expectations from the big west parks, and I wouldn’t recommend making a special trip. Combined with other landmarks, though it would be a great day-stop. The history, the railroad, and the canal/towpath trail really make the park stand out (not necessarily the breathtaking scenery). It’s also an environmental success story, with the Cuyahoga River fires (yes, fires) playing a big role in kicking off the Clean Water Act. If you ever make it to Ohio, another must-do would be the Lake Erie Islands area, between Toledo and Cleveland. Put-in-Bay and Kelly’s Island are the highlights…when you get out to these islands it’s hard to tell you’re anywhere near the Midwest. Very cool location.

[@basecampchris]

Looks like a good park...cool that its free.. a lot of history there. Thanks! C

[@rosecampiran9301]

I remember hearing about the time the Cuyahoga river caught fire!

[@hetphillips-cardenas4462]

Hello Chris! I always love your "campfire" stories. This one, being set in Ohio, brings to mind an experience I had about five years ago. I live in rural NW Ohio where the landscape is a patchwork of open fields and wooded lots,wetlands, creeks, and reservoirs. I often drive out to one of these reservoirs to enjoy the quiet and watch the waterbirds who dot the surface of the water. One beautiful fall evening I went alone and rolled down the windows and just sat in the car I had parked close to the water. As the sun was going down and I was fully relaxed, I heard a loud, angry, roaring scream from the woods next to my right . That was all it took. I turned on the car, rolled up my windows, and got the heck home. That sound was terrifying and like nothing I've heard before or since.

[@cbrippee]

Interesting. I know the area you speak living a hundred miles south close to the 127. This is the least likely region of Ohio to find one, but I am sure they migrate through this area from time to time.

[@spclark1970]

I'm from around the Toledo area - whereabouts were you when this happened? Just curious as I have heard of a few reported around some of the marshes near Lake Erie, just east of Oregon, OH. There's also a credible sighting by a kayaker cutting through a canal next to Missionary Island in the Maumee River. He reported it was paralleling him from just inside some scrub on the island's edge as he cut through, and also was throwing rocks in his direction...

[@purrrfect6032]

Chris I have this little story to tell. I live in NE Pa. Our home is on a mountain 2,000 ft. above sea level. Surrounded by woods and a state park. One evening it was dark my husband and our dog went down the front stairs off the porch took a left heading to the cellar. This incident he will Not talk about it! I learned from my daughter and son-in-law. As they were heading to the cellar he looked up and saw a very big shadow leaning against a tree trunk looking at him about 10 feet away. Our dog did not bark he was not a barker and I guess he was not alarmed. I know it frightened him and this is not one of his character traits. He is a veteran of 22 years. Always in the woods hunting. Very smart and resourceful. He told them he would never go out again without his gun. I think he didn't tell me for I might be fearful. We have not had any occurrence since that I know of although one day this past summer I was watering my plants and felt someone there watching Never felt like that. Not comfortable. So I guess we might have a bigfoot in our woods. This happened about 6 years ago. Always enjoy your content very interesting. Have a good week. 🏕

I live in Dayton Ohio and we found a giant Hut back on our motorcycle trails and it looked really weird it was made out of all kinds of woven sticks and grass and stuff

[@cbrippee]

I live about 25 NW of Dayton, in Arcanum. I have had one on my rural property at least twice back in late Nov. of 2013 and again very early June of 2014. An old neighbor had one jump out of a slight ditch and cross in front of his car at 2am late June of 2015, coming home to West Milton from the Honda Parts Warehouse next to the I-75 in Troy, OH. This took place just north of Ludlow Falls, OH close to the bridge one the east side of the Stillwater River at State Route 48 and Fenner Road. The size and fact it existed scared the living daylights out of Sam and he was so pissed as no one except me would believe him. And back in 2013 there were reports, I investigated one, just outside on New Lebanon, OH. Great find on that Hut, sounds like grassman work. I too am a motorcycle enthusiast, but strickly stay to the roads.

[@sharonrose1226]

About 30 years ago, I was on a traveling nurse assignment in Cleveland. My apartment was in Akron, so that park was close by. After work one day, I drove to the park and started hiking, by myself. If I had known about the Ohio Grassman at that time, I would never have done that. Luckily, the only animal I saw was another human. Just thinking about the potential of meeting up with something like that, gives me the creeps!

I lived near Cuyahoga Falls, south of Akron when I was little. Me and my friends spent much of our days playing in the woods. There are really strange things in those woods. We saw some odd creatures and sounds. It was just something we got used to and learned where not to go. We never talked too much about what we saw and heard because no one would believe us.

[@KellAdk76]

Oh....! Finally covering Ohio, aren't we? Well, it seems like the eastern half of the state is where MOST of the "Big Fellow" activity takes place. Northeast is a rust belt but Southeast Ohio is least populated with people. Yes, the Akron-Cleveland area is active but the most famous case is the Minerva 1978 incident. Salt Fork State Park at the base of the Appalachian Mountains seems to be the most active area now...

Said it was moving thru the water, faster than he could run on land. He was traumatized for several years after that encounter. Said it scared him worse than the war.

[@Jacqui7665]

Did anyone else think the kid reporting the story was going to be left behind by the two friends running ahead of him? Sounds like he was lucky to jump into the backseat before they pulled away! Another great story, Chris. BTW nice editing! The drive out of the woods had a spooky feel and the dark silhouette that blocks out the "thanks for watching" was chilling. Have a great week.

Time and something started following me. Cause I could hearthe footsteps. 4 or 5 blocks behind me and so I started. Walking a little faster and it started doing the same. Then I started jogging and they started doing the same so I started running real fast. And so did took off like a bad out of hell, My adrenaline kicked in and I was running as fast as I could and so was it. Until whatever it Was Slowed up and stopped And man was I glad!

I startled Bigfoot coming out of my camper on my new property in south central Trinity County 25 years ago one autumn night. It sounded like a rhino crashing through the brush. Didn't see it. But the ground shook a little. A year later a 40 pound bag of dog food walked off with my 2 Rott Mastiffs going ape shit my neighbor said. I was out of county. And in 02 I had a fresh deer head tied 9 ft high in a tree disappear 50 ft from where I slept. I've seen a wolf too. And lots of UAP phenomenon. This was before it got crowded. The noise it caused crashing through the woods haunts me to this day. I know it was him. He's a curious chap. My sister said it shook her trailer like a baby cradle. Years before this. Heard it rubbing against the wall horizontally 6 ft above the ground. As she hid with her dog with the curtains closed. 😮

Ohio, where I live, is rated 4th for Bigfoot encounters. Especially around Salt Fork State Park! They even have a bigfoot festival there! Also in Hocking Hills! 😊

[@highlanderNC-mr8fe]

You should check out the serpent mound in Ohio. Pretty cool

[@ritahassing2533]

How scary for those teens! Great story. It had me on edge throughout. Great, Chris!

[@sharonmontoliu6573]

SO FUNNY I WAS THIKING ABOUT THE HAMM BEER COMMERCIAL THIS MORNING. WHEN I WAS LITTLE ANDIT WAS FUN, IT WAS BRIGHT BLUE AND HAD BEARS ON IT AND I LOVED WATCHING IT. THIS WAS IN THE 1950'S. I DON'T DRINK BUT WHEN I WAS LITTLE I DID LIKE THE COMMERCIAL

[@jude5976]

Me too! My Irish Grandpa liked it.

[@Juanita6173]

Google maps with Google street view feature is a lot of fun and addicting. Thanks Chris it gives a good idea of the surroundings. Thanks Daniel for sharing your encounter...at any moment I was hoping neither of you tripped on the railway ties....resembled that scene of Stand By Me, but this was real life running for your lives! Wow thank you for the online description of the Ohio Grassman, that mound of dried grass looked like a beaver lodge of sorts. That was an interesting detailed sketch in that periodical . The famous Ohio howl is recorded there.

[@ToddHill-tu3tc]

Thx Chris! Was starting to wonder if u were putting out a video today, it's getting close to bedtime over here on the east coast, thx again!

[@martymcmannis6581]

Yeah Chris I live in Ohio stark county and it's kinda scary after hearing about this story and the Youngstown story. I guess there's a lot of stuff going on in southern Ohio also. Maybe that's why I don't hunt anymore lol....so thanks for the nightmares ha,ha,ha

[@mikerozman5472]

You ever hear Matt Emch's Y-Town Dogman Story!? I drove past that old Steel Mill, many times- used to live in Hubbard, now in Warren. It's a creepy looking place!

[@sayitlikeitis1202]

What a magical story and so articulately rendered ! Thank you Chris I so look forward to your stories

[@basecampchris]

Thanks so much!

[@teenahall6846]

My mother was a Hamms beer drinker! I grew up with it in our house. 😂 I can still sing the jingle! 😁

[@scruffyscrubs5468]

Wow! Hamm's beer! That brings back memories at the Twins' games with my dad and sister. Incredible story! I have never seen one or even heard one when camping but I do believe that these things exist!

[@basecampchris]

So cool! Thanks! C

[@kevinparrish6085]

Man Makes me happy to see people living a good life just happy with life you know. love the stores chris

[@sydney814]

Thank you Chris, I love your stories!

[@baltimoreravens1515]

Great story

[@psalmreader8049]

Yeah, it has a lot of meat to it. I like it when there’s an actual sighting in the story. The ones that don’t have them are annoying because there’s so many things other than a Bigfoot that can cause the noises .

[@basecampchris]

Thanks! C🌲👀🐵🍺

[@runningwater7873]

It is very sad to live with a partner that does not believe you. This is a serious thing and to have a wife that is not sympathetic and verbally says you are crazy..I would not stay with that person.. The police and government personnel are aware of this swamp glassman. I am so happy you shared your story and I hope in the future our government will acknowledge these entities as well as Dogman. May you always be blessed and be safe my friend. I am sending you a hug from New Jersey. The grassman exists and I know from friends that live in upstate NY that they have seen sightings of this frightening entity. There are so many sightings of these things and people can not live in denial about these entities living in the swamps of North America.

[@mikerozman5472]

Yes! 100% How anyone can say they love, and trust their Spouse, yet basically, call them a LIAR, and refuse to believe them, is beyond me!

[@ironman4122]

Keep hiking!🖤💛👣🤟✌️
