We are a group of scientists and educators from Australia, France, Germany,
Poland, Russia, and the United States who are dedicated to the search for
truth in science and education on the subject of origins of life. Some of
us locally in Columbus, Ohio, have been interested in Bigfoot alias Sasquatch,
and then he goes through a few names here that anyway, I'm not going
to do those for many years. So as a volunteer director of the International
Paleo Chronology Group, I want to make sure these reports receive public attention.
So I'm sending them to Nance of Ohio Bigfoot and to Dixie Cryptid. Both
of you have exchanged emails so you are aware of each other's programs. Here
are the six encounters located in central central Ohio as reported to me or to
my son Kevin Miller. We vouched for the sincerity of our relatives, neighbors
and friends who related these stories to us, and we appreciate very much your
efforts that encourage folks with encounters and or friends and relatives to tell their stories.
Okay, just hang with me here. I've already talked to Nance and
she was kind of unclear on whether she had done this one or not,
so if you guys have heard this before, just click away. I don't
know if she's done it or not, but it's still it's pretty interesting.
So again, this is not the typical story that I read them, but
we'll just keep going with it. Our list of six sightings in Ohio and
many encounters by one person in Pennsylvania unreported or unknown by bfro or as follows.
Here's the first one for which I was told to told to by a
cousin, Thomas Ewing, now deceased, when he was a sheriff of Heath,
Ohio in Licking County. This sighting occurred in nineteen seventy five in Pattascala,
Pattiscala, Licking County, Ohio. Probably Summit Road A north okay,
I'm sorry, Probably Summit Road a north and south road that crosses Route sixteen
that is an extension of Broad Street, a main east west street running across
Columbus to Heath and Newark, Ohio, about twenty miles away. East Summit
Road is about twenty miles from downtown Columbus, Ohio. In Franklin County,
with a population of five hundred thousand. In nineteen seventy five, pattis pattiscala
I don't know what that word is pa t a s ka la pattiscala uscal
police were called to investigate a very serious report by two teenage girls, possibly
sisters, who were returning from roller skating when they first smelled a terrible odor
like limburger cheese wooo. They then saw a very tall, huge, hairy,
bipedal creature across a set of railroad tracks and then stepped over a rail
or farm fence into an open field of high grass. They ran home and
were so visibly shaken that the parents phoned the police, who came at once
and made a report. The next day, they returned and checked the immediate
area and found brownish hair on a barbed wire fence, which they sent to
London, Ohio to a forensics lab. A large area of grass had been
matted down in the grass sea field, according to the Chief of Police of
Heath, Ohio, Thomas Ewing, who talked with the local police, was
told that the lab could not identify the under the microscope, but described it
as hollow and somewhat between a deer and a bear. Nothing that they had
examined or was in their exhibit file of many types of hair, including man
made. My cousin and I attended a UFO conference in Dayton, Ohio,
shortly after the incident, where they also discussed bigfoot sightings. I eventually met
up with a bigfoot investigator in Cincinnati who had been investigating encounters in Kentucky in
southern Ohio and learned that he had cataloged many sightings in southern Ohio. In
Kentucky, my list and some others were emailed to BFRO about a year or
so ago, but to my knowledge, they were not reported, as I
was never a witness. Okay, okay, here, okay, here's encounter
number two. I'm not even going to comment on these, I'm just going
to read them. Number two. This encounter occurred in Canal Winchester, fairf
Field County, Ohio, about fifteen miles from downtown Columbus, Ohio, in
the fall of nineteen sixty nine or nineteen seventy. Jan s researched physicist,
A fellow scientist and friend, now aged sixty four, was helping his parents
move into their new home when he heard what appeared to him to be an
angry howl coming from the adjacent clump of trees, after which he heard something
move rapidly through a corn fill, breaking cornstalks as it ran. The howls
were so unusual and loud that he remembers them to this day. When he
told me after I had mentioned several stories, it was as if the unknown
creature did not want them there, and he later heard a few days later
that there was a bigfoot sighting in southern Ohio. Jan told of this encounter
after I told him the encounter by the two girls from Licking County about two
thousand and seventy. Okay, here's number three. When I told my next
door neighbor, mister Van Cullen about nineteen seventy five of the Licking County sighting
by the teenage girls, he told me of his sightings. In a previous
year. He and a friend were returning home by car from a southern Ohio
deer hunting trip when they both saw a huge, hairy, bipedal creature running
across an open harvested cornfield from one clump of trees to another. My neighbor,
who was driving, asked his friend, did you see that? His
friend said, yes, I did. Keep driving. All right. Here's
number four. A young man who was a student at Nazarene College of Mount
Vernon, Knox County, Ohio in twenty fifteen told my son Kevin Miller,
without any discussion of Bigfoot, offered about his encounter as if he just had
to tell someone. He was driving with a friend on a winding road when
he came around to turn and saw in his headlights a harry b squatting in
the road ahead. It got up quickly and easily walked by petally up a
steep slope and then into a brush, into the brush on top, as
easy as we would walk on flat ground. This is almost identical to a
sighting in Licking County in nineteen seventy five on the BFRO website. Kevin thinks
that he would be reluctant to talk about it, but lives just two doors
from Kevin's home. All right, here's a comment the writer makes about story
number four. I think it interesting that the BFRO reports showed many many reports
in north to south line of such counties as Ashland, Richland, Knox,
Licking, Fairfield, Hocking, Ross Pike from north to south, Similarly as
observed in eastern Ohio for the bigfoot called the Grassmen. Thus this could be
just another ancient pathway or trail that some Bigfoot families follow. But through the
hilly countryside east of Columbus. There are hundreds of caves and caverns in Ohio,
with only six open to the public, so with old barns and coal
mines, there are plenty of living quarters in the winter. Another example,
Alabama has over four thousand caves and lots of bigfoot sidings. Also Okay,
here's number five. My grandson John of Patuscala, Patascala, Ohio and Licking
County on the eastern edge of Franklin County, twenty miles from downtown Columbus,
told me of as possible encounter in Patascla, just off the north South Summit
Road on Old Main Road, where a famous former governor of California has a
second home with many other homes on one side and a forest on the other.
This encounter occurred about twenty thirteen, when John was fifteen. It was
within five miles of the sighting by the two girls. John and a friend
were out late one night to visit a friend on Old Maid Road, about
a mile from John's home when they heard a presumably large animal howling in such
a way from the woods as to seemingly disguise its voice as if it was
an owl. They both looked at each other immediately as the strongest chill to
ever run down their spines fill them with terror. By the time of the
second howl, which followed in two to four second intervals for the next ten
minutes, simultaneously, they both started sprinting back down the old Mage Road the
way they had come from. Each howl sounded less and less like an owl
as the beasts became less shy and put and put base in its screeching yells.
The beasts continued to howl until they were just about at John's home.
They know it was no owl because the noise sounded far too deep and heavy
to be coming from a creature smaller than themselves, let alone an owl.
Okay, that was number five. Here's number six. This incident occurred in
rows or Pike County, southern Ohio near I'm not even gonna try this one
chillicoth c hi lictch Ohio. I am a US Army veteran and was wearing
my bigfoot cap when I visited the Wiley, Virginia Clinic for blood work in
early twenty nineteen. The young lady nurse named Lindsey, who was assigned to
take a blood sample, remark, I like your cap having just heard of
my grandson's experience a few weeks earlier. I laughingly replied, have you heard
a bigfoot howl? She said no, but I saw one. She continued.
I was driving home about three point thirty am from Marshall University in Huntington,
West Virginia, and was about fifteen minutes from my home when this huge,
hairy creature ran across the county road on two legs, just fifteen feet
in front of my car. I saw it clearly in my headlights, and
it was about eight feet tall. When I got home, I was so
scared I left the car door open and ran in to tell my parents.
My father believed me, but my mother was skeptical. I will never forget
it. I think this encounter scarred her, as she would not come to
the BFRO lectures that we invited her to attend with us. All right,
here's number seven northeast Pennsylvania, near the top of a fifteen foot high hill
in the nineteen nineties, before and after first the background which sets the stage
for this other encounters by Jacob, who made it clear to me that he
does not even want the location known for fear of hunters invading his favorite outdoor
haunts with an idea of hunting down a bigfoot. He wants them to be
free and safe. This is how I learned of Jake and his encounters.
He phoned me to explain who he was and the two human like footprints he
had found embedded in Mississippi geologic formation allegedly over three hundred million years old in
nineteen ninety nine on a small creek bank near the top of a hill or
mountain. He had taken this loose rock to an anthropologist at Penn State University,
and the professor granted that they were made by humans. When told their
location, he said that can't be and refused to talk anymore about what he
just saw. This was of great interest to me, as our team had
made many trips to Glen Rose, Texas to participate in excavating dinosaur footprints and
human like footprints together under twelve inches of crestaceous limestone and three inches of clay.
There is an article entitled Jacob's Mother and Child print by Doug Wilder,
a biologist and one of our IPG members, in which he cites the scientific
evidence for the validity of these footprints. In a meeting a few years later
in his Pennsylvania hometown, Jake also told of a big foot he encountered while
camping out in a tent near the top of the same mountain. He was
in his tent for the night with his nephew when something brushed the outside of
the tent fabric. He opened the tent flap. Walking upright away from the
tent, about fifty feet away was a giant, ten foot tall, hairy
bipedal creature with glaring red eyes and fangs looking back at him. In the
winter and an opening in the same forest, he also saw bigfoot tracks after
a winter snow. There were two sets of very large human like prints side
by side, and intermittently much smaller ones between, as if two adults were
lifting an offspring up and down that was between them. He also told me
in a phone conversation in twenty nineteen that he had seen smaller ones about six
feet tall, peering around the trees watching him. He ignored them, but
observed them from the corner of his eye in the same forest. This is
an abandoned coal mine, one of many an old foundations of small coal mining
town of fifteen hundred people that was abandoned on top of that hill. Jacob
as a woodsman and saw his first bigfoot at age fifteen, standing next to
a stop sign. It quickly moved back into the forest on two legs when
it saw him and a friend. When the height of the sign was measured,
he and his friend estimated that the beast was eight feet tall. When
he told his older brother what they had seen, his brother was skeptical.
So Jake's older brother said, I want you and your friend to draw what
you both allegedly saw. Now. When they drew the pictures, they were
identical, and so elder brother became a believer, but never saw any himself,
as he was not an avid woodsman. All right, let's see here,
here's one from you Ganda he has in this letter. I'll try to
read this one Uganda on the west coast of Africa. When I attended an
international meeting on the Origin of life in Northern Kentucky and June of twenty nineteen,
I was talking to a friend who was an aeronautical engineer and a bigfoot
skeptic about the many encounters that I've heard about. When one of the attendees
listening to our conversation suddenly interrupted and said, with a great emphasis, we
have them in Uganda too. They're big and tall, as he raised one
hand way above his head. I think my friend was at least momentarily stunned
and was one and was one surprised guy myself. Needless to say, I
was delighted with my newly found friend friend from Uganda. So much for skepticism.
Bigfoots, for whatever reason, are called elsewhere bigfoots, for whatever they
are called elsewhere or indeed worldwide as we now know. And then he goes
on with there's a lot of his commentary under here, or I'll just read
the first bit of it. Thus there's good reason to say that bigfoot is
an elusive, giant ape like bipedal creature. Strangely, there are four more
depictions and stories about dinosaurs living with man than Bigfoot with man. The eighty
nine eighty six reports work by Leif Erickson's team of explorers, as one of
the few good written ancient reports that we have, but no bigfoot drawings came
with it. It is said most of the native tribes across North America have
stories in their oral traditions describing giant, hairy figures that look and behave very
similar to what many Americans and Canadians have described over the past few centuries.
Bigfoot is indeed controversial, just as dinosaur depictions and have been made controversial by
skeptics in those folks whose religious beliefs tell them that we are all descended from
a common bacterial ancestors six hundred million years ago, but that belief has been
more than challenged by the existence of soft tissue in some dinosaur bones by Sea
fourteen dating testing of all bones of twenty dinosaurs in the thousands of years,
and depictions of dinosaurs by our ancestors in the past five hundred to five thousand
years on every continent. With dinosaur and human like footprints together in Texas and
also worldwide, sedimentary strata like Crestaceous and juraasac could some be bigfoot prints,
as there is a short trail of one that is twenty two and a half
inches long in Texas uncovered under tons of limestone. There are many myths and
legends about guerrillas in Africa before they were fully discovered to be just another animal.
Based on our studies of dinosaur depictions worldwide see fourteen dating of their bones,
fossil human and dinosaur footprints together and our collection of sightings and howls of
alleged Bigfoot, we conclude, with Bfro and other collectors of sightings like Dixie
Cryptid and Ohio Bigfoot and Buckeye Bigfoot videos that one they do exist, but
in small numbers, as Bfro et cetera US suggests maybe several thousand nationwide of
the giant ones. However, according to a ut he gives a YouTube blank
here, the estimate is now fifteen thousand in Upper North America alone. Jeff
Meldrum was in this video, but he did not give that estimate. But
Jeff believes he had a night encounter with one his first on this Canadian exposition
in tw expedition in twenty thirteen. That just came to light in December of
twenty nineteen. Okay, that's number one. Number two they seem to be
very intelligent. Don't bother us and we won't bother you. Number three,
they seem to be curious of us as we are of them. But they
have their dangerous ones, just like we humans have ours. When they howl
close by, it's like a warning move on. Therefore, they seem to
be courteous to a point, but very scary and not lovable. Okay,
there's a couple of more of these points, and I'm just you all have
heard if you follow the Bigfoot thing, you've heard all of those theories,
and I agree with them. The reason I did this and put it at
the end of the video was because the man sent it to me. He
spent a lot of time writing this. I wanted to get it out.
It doesn't really follow the storytelling, you know, theme that we do here,
but I just felt like I needed to get it up for him,
for mister Miller, Hugh Miller. So, mister Miller, I'm sorry.
It took me so long to do this. I just couldn't figure out how
to present it. So I finally just did it. I just I just
read it and I stumbled through it. Your sentences are extremely long, but
they're more You're writing something that's like a court testimony more so than a story.
And so it's okay, it's a little bit. It's a little bit
different to read, but I'm not going to edit it. I'm not gonna
do anything with it, just gonna leave it like it is, So there
you have it. Hugh Miller, International Paleo Chronology Group, Columbus, Ohio.
Those were the encounters he wanted you to hear. Thank you, mister Miller.
