# Years Before the Ohio Bigfoot Flap: Repeated Encounters in Mantua & Streetsboro An episode of [Bigfoot Society](https://invisiblenetwork.ai/podcast/1453429066), 10 Apr 2026, 42 min. Audio: https://dts.podtrac.com/redirect.mp3/pdrl.fm/3e8f48/api.spreaker.com/download/episode/70999588/bfs1086robohiofinal.mp3 In this episode, we hear from Rob, a lifelong resident of Portage County, Ohio, who shares a series of encounters that began years before the recent headlines ever reached his area. Driving late at night through the backroads near Mantua, he comes face to face with something massive standing just off the roadside. Tall, broad, covered in dark fur, and gone within seconds, the moment sticks with him long after he tries to move on. Time passes, and the experiences continue. A quiet night on a deck overlooking farmland turns into something else entirely as branches snap in the distance, a strange scream cuts through the air, and a towering figure moves along the tree line under moonlight. This time, he isn’t the only one who sees it. As more conversations unfold, a pattern begins to emerge. Others in the same area have seen similar figures. Similar builds. Similar behavior. Reports that stayed quiet for years begin to line up in ways that are hard to ignore. From the wetlands around Mantua to the developing edges of Streetsboro, Rob describes the sounds, the movement, and the unsettling reactions from wildlife that seem to signal something just out of sight. These are the encounters that happened before anyone was calling it a flap. πŸ—£οΈ Share Your Story Had a Bigfoot encounter or strange experience?

In [0:03] Speaker 1: this show, we go beyond the campfire stories to bring [0:05] Speaker 1: you first hand encounters from people who say they've seen [0:08] Speaker 1: something impossible. From backwoods trails and remote mountain haulers to [0:12] Speaker 1: quiet farms and crowded highways. The stories come from everywhere, [0:16] Speaker 1: and each one leaves us with more questions than answers. [0:20] Speaker 1: These are the voices of the people who've lived it. [0:24] Speaker 1: To settle in, because today you'll hear another account that [0:27] Speaker 1: just might change the way you see the woods forever. [0:30] Speaker 1: So stay with us, all right, Welcome back to another [0:33] Speaker 1: episode of the Bigfoot Society podcast. I've got the privilege [0:37] Speaker 1: of talking to individual. His name is Rob today and [0:40] Speaker 1: Rob is a local to Portage County, Ohio. Contacted me [0:45] Speaker 1: after the events of March sixth through March tenth, so [0:49] Speaker 1: the events of the Ohio Bigfoot Flap is what we're [0:52] Speaker 1: calling it. But welcome to the show. Rob. How are [0:55] Speaker 1: you doing today, sir? [0:57] Speaker 2: Well, how are you, Jeremiah. [0:59] Speaker 1: We're having a great time. You know. It's always a [1:01] Speaker 1: great day when I'm able to just, you know, sit [1:04] Speaker 1: back at the desk and talk to someone about their [1:07] Speaker 1: big foot encounters, and it sounds like you have had [1:09] Speaker 1: some interesting things happen over the years. So I'm glad [1:13] Speaker 1: we can get you on the show and give you [1:15] Speaker 1: the space to so you can share what you've experienced [1:20] Speaker 1: over the years. And an incredibly active county as we've [1:23] Speaker 1: all found out really over the years and especially last week. [1:27] Speaker 1: So anything else that the listeners would need to know [1:30] Speaker 1: about you for context before you get started. [1:32] Speaker 2: Rob, Yeah, So I actually lived in the Borders County area. [1:37] Speaker 2: I've lived here for a good portion of my adult wise, [1:40] Speaker 2: after I graduated high school. Once you a university around [1:45] Speaker 2: here Kent State, and just lived here ever since I graduated. [1:49] Speaker 2: I love the area. Everybody's so primely around here, and [1:54] Speaker 2: it's a place that I love to I can see [1:57] Speaker 2: myself living for the rest of my life. This story [2:01] Speaker 2: that broke over the past week or so really resonated [2:04] Speaker 2: with me because the encounters I'm gonna explain to you [2:08] Speaker 2: as we go on through this, it really hit home. [2:11] Speaker 2: I think it is great that we're getting some attention [2:14] Speaker 2: here and maybe we'll get some questions answered it over [2:19] Speaker 2: time as researchers come out here or people that know [2:21] Speaker 2: far more than I do, or anybody else in this [2:24] Speaker 2: area that can look into this can maybe figger some [2:27] Speaker 2: of this. Thank you for having me once again. [2:30] Speaker 1: Absolutely, yeah, and it's great to hear you have that [2:35] Speaker 1: viewpoint of things for sure. I know there's been a [2:39] Speaker 1: lot of eyes on this area and there's been a [2:42] Speaker 1: lot of bigfoot researchers that have come to the area. [2:46] Speaker 1: And again I've said this publicly multiple times, there is [2:51] Speaker 1: a local group and researcher, so Glenn Adkins from the [2:55] Speaker 1: Ohio squadch Project, I've been working with for doing on [3:00] Speaker 1: the ground investigation. So in case listeners haven't heard that before, [3:04] Speaker 1: that is another time that I will be saying that [3:07] Speaker 1: that Glenn Adkins is helping out a ton with this. [3:11] Speaker 1: So thank you to Glenn. But you, Rob, let's make [3:14] Speaker 1: sure you have the time to share what you have experienced. [3:18] Speaker 1: And it sounds like you have a few things that [3:20] Speaker 1: you've experienced over the years. [3:22] Speaker 2: Yeah. Absolutely, So it's where E going to start. Is [3:27] Speaker 2: quite a while back, actually, about five or six years ago. [3:31] Speaker 2: I used to frequently drive through man Away because I [3:35] Speaker 2: actually kneel a few people. Some of my really good [3:37] Speaker 2: friends over the years grew up in man Away, a [3:39] Speaker 2: lot of them moved out, did their own things. One [3:42] Speaker 2: in particular lived right near in between the man Away [3:46] Speaker 2: Center and downtown man Away Area, so i'd always take [3:49] Speaker 2: the back roads there after work if I went over [3:52] Speaker 2: to this house, say during a weeknight or weekends. And [3:56] Speaker 2: something that's important for the listeners to know is the [3:59] Speaker 2: Manuay area is very rural, and it's I guess maybe [4:04] Speaker 2: this isn't the most acurate representation. It's very swampy or [4:06] Speaker 2: it's a high water table, so everything's very it's like [4:10] Speaker 2: a wetland basically in a lot of the areas, so [4:13] Speaker 2: no street lights, very rural. It's probably as many of [4:18] Speaker 2: you would imagine a perfect area for this type of encounter. [4:22] Speaker 2: And my first encounter probably around twenty twenty, if I [4:25] Speaker 2: had to guess, late twenty twenty, early twenty twenty one [4:29] Speaker 2: that that really stuck out to me was when I [4:31] Speaker 2: was driving to my friend's house and made Away. When [4:34] Speaker 2: I say there's people there or not that many people there, [4:37] Speaker 2: it's probably about a thousand or west throughout the whole area. [4:40] Speaker 2: It's very spread out, no lights, and it was just [4:43] Speaker 2: after a rainstorm. It wasn't raining anymore, but it was [4:48] Speaker 2: very moist. Why you could smell it in the air. [4:50] Speaker 2: And I was driving around the bend and right before [4:54] Speaker 2: I hit that intersection, about a thousand feet before I [4:57] Speaker 2: hit it, there's these woods on the right hered side. [5:01] Speaker 2: What I thought was perhaps a bear, and that I [5:04] Speaker 2: only say a bear because I just saw something with [5:08] Speaker 2: fur in the corner of my eye as I was [5:09] Speaker 2: driving late at night. I turned my head to look [5:13] Speaker 2: at it, and I only got a glimpse of it [5:16] Speaker 2: for about two seconds, two seconds or so in passing, [5:20] Speaker 2: but it was very clear this was not a bear [5:22] Speaker 2: or standing on two legs and had its back to me. [5:28] Speaker 2: And when it turned, it turned to look at me [5:31] Speaker 2: because I was driving towards its direction. It turned, looked, [5:34] Speaker 2: I could see the glare in its eyes, and then [5:37] Speaker 2: it turned. The scatter and then all within two or [5:39] Speaker 2: three seconds that occurred, but I got enough of a [5:42] Speaker 2: glimpse of it that I knew this was something that [5:46] Speaker 2: was not normal. We see bears sometimes around the area. [5:49] Speaker 2: That's not super uncommon, unless if you're in the more [5:54] Speaker 2: the more populated areas, you're not really going to see them. [5:56] Speaker 2: But something like man away that wouldn't surprise me. But [5:59] Speaker 2: this was clearly a taller figure that had broad shoulders [6:03] Speaker 2: and had longer ber, that was standing on two feet. [6:07] Speaker 2: I saw a bit of its face, but it wasn't detailed. [6:12] Speaker 2: And again, this was the first encounter, so I freaked [6:15] Speaker 2: out when I saw that, and I told my friends [6:18] Speaker 2: when I arrived to this house, we all kind of [6:22] Speaker 2: freaked out about it. Thought it was weird. They were [6:25] Speaker 2: on the lookout for the following weeks. Nothing was made [6:28] Speaker 2: of it, and we just kind of moved on with [6:30] Speaker 2: our lives. That was my first encounter, and that seems [6:33] Speaker 2: very light and mild and passing. But it's going to [6:36] Speaker 2: be important what I say next. [6:38] Speaker 1: I can I ask you a few questions about that [6:40] Speaker 1: real quick? Sorry? [6:42] Speaker 2: Oh yeah, of course, sorry if I'm rambling, Thank you, thank. [6:44] Speaker 1: You, of course. Now you're doing gray, can you? So [6:48] Speaker 1: what was the color that you had noticed? [6:52] Speaker 2: Okay, so again, understand this is like the equivalent of [6:55] Speaker 2: you driving on the highway and passing something within a [6:57] Speaker 2: few seconds. So I got some details I could pick [7:00] Speaker 2: up on in somewhere a little bit more vague. The [7:03] Speaker 2: fur I noticed was a little bit more greasy and [7:06] Speaker 2: kind of like a brownish you know, it maybe brownish black, [7:11] Speaker 2: but it was definitely thick enough. It was It wasn't [7:13] Speaker 2: like some mangy fur you would see on an animal. [7:18] Speaker 2: That's how that's fact or something. It wasn't like that. [7:20] Speaker 2: It was. It was long and it it kind of [7:23] Speaker 2: blew around. It was very noticeable. It wasn't something that [7:26] Speaker 2: stood out. So it was like a longer brownish fur [7:29] Speaker 2: that had some kind of I don't know if it [7:32] Speaker 2: was oily or greasy. [7:35] Speaker 1: What would you estimate that the height of it to [7:38] Speaker 1: be if you could. [7:39] Speaker 2: Easily eat, I would say eight and a half beat, gotcha, [7:44] Speaker 2: And I can't conf I can't say one hundred percent [7:47] Speaker 2: how tall it was. It might even have been taller [7:49] Speaker 2: because it was it seems like it was lurking forward, [7:54] Speaker 2: like it was standing up, but lurking forward a little bit. [7:57] Speaker 1: So absolutely, you said that it had uh kind of [8:03] Speaker 1: turned to look at you. Did it have a certain [8:07] Speaker 1: way of turning. [8:08] Speaker 2: Yeah, So when it turned to me, it just kind [8:11] Speaker 2: of turned its whole bot. It's almost like it pivoted [8:14] Speaker 2: around at me all at once, like it freaked out [8:17] Speaker 2: or something and just like turn its head and look [8:19] Speaker 2: at me. It just swung around as if I startled [8:24] Speaker 2: in I don't know what the case worked, but obviously [8:26] Speaker 2: a car's coming at that direction, so it wouldn't surprise me. [8:30] Speaker 1: Okay, So twenty either twenty twenty or twenty twenty one. [8:33] Speaker 1: And what was the time of year the month on [8:37] Speaker 1: this again? [8:39] Speaker 2: Oh, this was definitely later in the year, but it [8:42] Speaker 2: wasn't in winter at all. It was more so had [8:45] Speaker 2: to be. I'm taking its late twenty it's twenty because [8:48] Speaker 2: it was not wintertime. [8:50] Speaker 1: Okay, it's fall time. And let's see. Oh, you'd mentioned [8:59] Speaker 1: that this was new an intersection. [9:00] Speaker 2: You said, yeah, so, friend, rate of restling. If you [9:05] Speaker 2: look at Google Maps or anything, basically you have to [9:07] Speaker 2: take back roads to get a man away. There's no [9:09] Speaker 2: real other than the interstate. That's the only other way [9:12] Speaker 2: you can get there. What are the back roads? Pioneer Trail? [9:16] Speaker 2: It cuts through. There's a few roads there, dude, That's [9:18] Speaker 2: the one I would always cut through. It goes to [9:21] Speaker 2: Main Street, which is in between Manoy Center, which was [9:24] Speaker 2: where one of those sightings was that you mentioned earlier [9:27] Speaker 2: in the week, and then downtown Manoway which is Salbravet. [9:31] Speaker 2: So it cuts in between the two. [9:34] Speaker 1: Okay, So it's like you took Pioneer Trail over to [9:37] Speaker 1: forty four, then. [9:39] Speaker 2: Yeah, if that's the main road, I always called me, yeah. [9:42] Speaker 1: Four, and so that intersection there, that area, okay, yeah, okay, yeah, well, [9:48] Speaker 1: feel definitely feel free to resume. Thank you for answering [9:52] Speaker 1: those questions. [9:54] Speaker 2: Yeah, of course. And I know that one people could [9:58] Speaker 2: kind of dismiss something that was inexplicable but not bigfoot [10:05] Speaker 2: or squats or whatever. And I kind of dismissed it [10:08] Speaker 2: for a while too, as maybe I saw something and [10:11] Speaker 2: I wanted to believe it was something that it wasn't. [10:13] Speaker 2: I wasn't really sure. It wasn't passing, to be fair, [10:18] Speaker 2: and I was open minded, yet doubting myself of what [10:22] Speaker 2: I saw. But I didn't see anything for a while. [10:25] Speaker 2: Nothing stood out until a year and a half or [10:29] Speaker 2: so later, And I'm it's been a while, so forgive [10:32] Speaker 2: me if my dates aren't precise. It's about a year [10:35] Speaker 2: and a half or so. I was over at that [10:39] Speaker 2: Saint Frink's house. I was already over there, and he [10:41] Speaker 2: actually at the time he doesn't anymore, but lived near [10:44] Speaker 2: a farm. They're always working a lot of nights or [10:48] Speaker 2: early mornings, very common for farmers obviously, and nothing was unusual. [10:54] Speaker 2: You'd see people out there periodically in the night, or [10:57] Speaker 2: sometimes teenagers were cut through the neighborhoods and run through [11:00] Speaker 2: the fields or whatever. And I've seen all of that, [11:03] Speaker 2: so nothing like that would stand out to me. But [11:07] Speaker 2: there was one night we were out late, at about [11:10] Speaker 2: approximately one point thirty in the morning out on his deck. [11:14] Speaker 2: We were out late at night on the deck talking [11:16] Speaker 2: and just sitting out. It was a nice breezing night, [11:20] Speaker 2: nothing crazy, and all of a sudden we heard a [11:24] Speaker 2: bunch of branches breaking along a tree line at the [11:27] Speaker 2: end of the farm, and we dismissed it as maybe [11:31] Speaker 2: it's the farmer out there, or maybe it's kids walking through, [11:35] Speaker 2: because once again, like I said, sometimes kids have through [11:38] Speaker 2: that area or they goof around they're teenagers, and that's [11:43] Speaker 2: kind of what we thought of it initially. About five [11:46] Speaker 2: minutes later, we heard a large snap and then something collapsed, [11:49] Speaker 2: almost like a large branch off of a tree. It [11:51] Speaker 2: was very loud, so we looked at each other and thought, Okay, [11:56] Speaker 2: well that is unusual, but again, maybe be there working [12:00] Speaker 2: on trees late at night. Who knows. It would be [12:03] Speaker 2: weird because it's pitch black out. But I don't know [12:05] Speaker 2: what else to make of it. Suddenly, about three to [12:11] Speaker 2: five minutes after that, we heard a large or like [12:15] Speaker 2: a loud excuse me, a loud sound like a like [12:18] Speaker 2: a It wasn't even like a growling or anything. It [12:21] Speaker 2: was like a screech. That's down part, And that's what [12:25] Speaker 2: stood out to us. So when we looked over, there [12:28] Speaker 2: actually was moonlight kind of shining down on the farm, [12:33] Speaker 2: and I could see my friend and I could see [12:35] Speaker 2: the silhouette of a taller figure that almost identically represented [12:40] Speaker 2: the figure I saw a year and a half or [12:41] Speaker 2: two years prior, and were standing there walking the tree, [12:45] Speaker 2: lying and uh. And it ran through the tree line [12:50] Speaker 2: away from us. But I could see its back end [12:53] Speaker 2: and it was clear that it was very defined, like [12:55] Speaker 2: it was muscular. I couldn't get a glimpse of its [12:58] Speaker 2: face or anything, but I could definitely see the tone [13:02] Speaker 2: of its body some of the characteristics like the muscles [13:05] Speaker 2: on its back or arms, and the arms are definitely [13:07] Speaker 2: hanging a lot lower than the normal human being or [13:12] Speaker 2: something else. So it stood out to us. It breaked [13:15] Speaker 2: us out. We went inside, and needless to say, my [13:20] Speaker 2: friend is horrified of that area because he doesn't know [13:24] Speaker 2: what he saw that night, neither do I, but I'm [13:27] Speaker 2: glad I'm validated to him at least because he saw [13:31] Speaker 2: what I saw a couple of years prior. [13:35] Speaker 1: Wow, Oh my goodness. Okay, So what was the distance [13:38] Speaker 1: away from where you guys were at on the porch [13:41] Speaker 1: to the tree line where you see this? [13:44] Speaker 2: Oh? I would say probably about one hundred and twenty [13:48] Speaker 2: five to one hundred and fifty yards That would be [13:52] Speaker 2: my guess. Maybe a hundred, but yeah, one hundred to [13:57] Speaker 2: one hundred and fifty would be my safe It stood [14:00] Speaker 2: out from that far away, That's my point. I could [14:03] Speaker 2: see a clear stay from one hundred to one hundred [14:05] Speaker 2: and fifty yards, standing way taller than everything else growing [14:09] Speaker 2: around the area. [14:12] Speaker 1: What would you estimate the height was of what you [14:14] Speaker 1: guys saw? [14:16] Speaker 2: My estimation would be similar to the one I saw initially, [14:19] Speaker 2: about a d and a half beat, maybe even a [14:21] Speaker 2: little bit taller, But again, it was just far enough [14:24] Speaker 2: away where I couldn't get a pretty good approximation to that. [14:29] Speaker 2: But I would say about eight and a half to [14:32] Speaker 2: nineteen It's a similar height to the one I saw initially. [14:36] Speaker 1: Yeah, and definitely not sure is a okay answer, And [14:40] Speaker 1: I'd rather be safe. [14:41] Speaker 2: To say I'm not an entire leisure because it was [14:44] Speaker 2: a fair distance, but it was it clearly stood out [14:47] Speaker 2: it wasn't a normal height of a human being. [14:51] Speaker 1: Is this the first time that your friend had experienced [14:56] Speaker 1: things out of the ordinary? And you don't have to [14:58] Speaker 1: get into detail because you know, if you don't feel [15:02] Speaker 1: comfortable answering that, that's fine. But I'm just kind of [15:05] Speaker 1: curious about that at first that he encountered, okay. [15:08] Speaker 2: And it's what's funny about this which kind of slowly [15:12] Speaker 2: developed this feeling of I wish we could have a [15:14] Speaker 2: platform to explain some of this stuff to people. Was [15:19] Speaker 2: since he saw that, we've brought it up to other people, [15:22] Speaker 2: and he has family that lives all around the area. [15:24] Speaker 2: Everybody kind of knows each other in that city. It's [15:27] Speaker 2: very tight knit. And the more and more people that [15:31] Speaker 2: we've discussed that with over the those few years, it [15:34] Speaker 2: was we started to realize that we weren't alone. Other [15:37] Speaker 2: people had experiences that they just either didn't speak up about, [15:41] Speaker 2: or you know, they I don't know if there was [15:43] Speaker 2: a stigma of like saying, hey, I saw this, and [15:45] Speaker 2: they didn't want people to believe them or whatever. I [15:47] Speaker 2: don't know the case might be, but I totally get [15:50] Speaker 2: what they were feeling because I felt the same thing. [15:53] Speaker 2: You know, how to you explain that to somebody who [15:55] Speaker 2: hasn't seen anything like that before, and you know, expect [16:00] Speaker 2: them to treat you in a rational manner. So I [16:04] Speaker 2: get it. But we've had discussions with these people quite [16:08] Speaker 2: frequently about this stuff, and we realize we are not alone. [16:11] Speaker 2: It's just people haven't spoken up about it. Wow. [16:15] Speaker 1: Okay, so that's very interesting. So you've got a small [16:17] Speaker 1: rural community where everyone seems to have something going on, [16:21] Speaker 1: but they don't talk about it. [16:22] Speaker 2: The reason why I reached out and I emphasized on [16:27] Speaker 2: this earlier when we initially started this podcast. When that's [16:31] Speaker 2: report broke out, my eyes lit up because the area [16:35] Speaker 2: all circling around exactly, I know, every single area that [16:38] Speaker 2: was pointed out, and it brought I don't know, I [16:44] Speaker 2: don't know the accurate description of how I felt when [16:46] Speaker 2: I saw it. Part of me felt validated as an Okay, [16:51] Speaker 2: I'm not alone. There's others, and they're spread out enough [16:53] Speaker 2: where I don't think this is like some organized effort [16:57] Speaker 2: or something. In my opinion, but I also think, well, [17:01] Speaker 2: now is the time to come forward with you know, [17:04] Speaker 2: people's experiences in this area. And I really think there's [17:06] Speaker 2: a lot more going on than people realize. This is [17:10] Speaker 2: the perfect type, perfect type of environment for some creature [17:14] Speaker 2: like that. To Roman, I would. [17:16] Speaker 1: Think, definitely, definitely agree with you on that. Rob is [17:21] Speaker 1: a thing where I think things like this have happened [17:25] Speaker 1: in the area for years, and as we go, as [17:28] Speaker 1: things get weirder in the world, I think people feel [17:31] Speaker 1: more and more comfortable with stepping up and sharing what [17:34] Speaker 1: they have experienced and like it's okay to do so [17:38] Speaker 1: for some reason, which is great. I think the truth [17:40] Speaker 1: needs to get out there. But you know, so you've [17:43] Speaker 1: got a few interests, really interesting things that have happened [17:47] Speaker 1: so far, some visual sightings, and and so we are [17:51] Speaker 1: up to either twenty twenty one or twenty twenty two, then. [17:56] Speaker 2: Yeah, it's again if it sounds actually on the dates, [18:01] Speaker 2: I I it's because it's been so many years, been [18:05] Speaker 2: four or five years that I don't know the exact date, [18:07] Speaker 2: but it was definitely around late twenty twenty one twice [18:10] Speaker 2: night three range. Both occasions were not in the winter time, [18:13] Speaker 2: so I know that much. [18:15] Speaker 1: Okay, good to know. So late year are late in [18:18] Speaker 1: the year, yeah, okay, yeah, all right, okay, well yeah, [18:22] Speaker 1: feel free to uh to continue with with what you [18:26] Speaker 1: have experienced over the years. [18:29] Speaker 2: Yeah, of course, so I actually will give you and [18:32] Speaker 2: I don't know if he may you feel comfortable reaching out. [18:35] Speaker 2: I'll have to ask him about it. But one of [18:38] Speaker 2: my friend's relatives, when I explain this to them, they [18:41] Speaker 2: actually live well I won't give exact areas obviously, but [18:47] Speaker 2: they live in an area not in that same area, [18:50] Speaker 2: but within a few miles away where it's a lot [18:54] Speaker 2: of farm land, very open, wet, and they when we [19:00] Speaker 2: explain this to them, I felt embarrassed almost explaining it [19:03] Speaker 2: because my friend had me explain it to them because [19:05] Speaker 2: he wanted me to kind of like back him up. [19:09] Speaker 2: And when I explained it, I thought I was going [19:12] Speaker 2: to get receive a reaction where they thought I was nuts, [19:16] Speaker 2: that I was just making up some things just for [19:18] Speaker 2: entertainment or whatever case might be, which I've had. That's [19:23] Speaker 2: why I don't explain it enough to people. However, they [19:28] Speaker 2: countered that and they said, you saw something too, and [19:32] Speaker 2: then what they described they've seen in their backyard was [19:36] Speaker 2: very similar to what I've seen. So they didn't tell [19:39] Speaker 2: me height or anything. But when I explained the fur, [19:42] Speaker 2: the look the bolt of the seating, nut bold broad shoulders, [19:47] Speaker 2: and how it kind of had like a block blocky [19:50] Speaker 2: test where there was I don't even know if there [19:53] Speaker 2: was a net. Quite frankly, as there was, I couldn't [19:58] Speaker 2: really notice. It was just had flock. That's what it [20:01] Speaker 2: kind of seemed like. So and it was a very [20:04] Speaker 2: fit tone of this figure. And they were explaining these [20:08] Speaker 2: same stuff, and they had sightings in their backyard more [20:11] Speaker 2: than once because their dog. Their dog would actually flip [20:16] Speaker 2: out when they'd go in the backyard and when they'd [20:18] Speaker 2: go out to get their dog, that's when they'd have [20:20] Speaker 2: the currencies. [20:24] Speaker 1: Okay, wow, so that is there's definitely a lot going [20:28] Speaker 1: on in this town. What's the what would you say [20:30] Speaker 1: the proximate population of mana Way is. [20:35] Speaker 2: Don't quote me on this. I'm just kind of spitballing. [20:38] Speaker 2: So if somebody finds a different number, sorry, but I [20:40] Speaker 2: would say it's around a thousand people. Maybe it might [20:43] Speaker 2: have changed a little bit over the past, I guess. [20:50] Speaker 1: Okay, Okay, so now you're at the point where it's [20:54] Speaker 1: not just you and your buddies that has something happen. [20:57] Speaker 1: Now you have another another individual outside of your buddy [21:02] Speaker 1: group where it's like, yeah, there's definitely stuff going on here, [21:06] Speaker 1: which that kind of changes things for you. I would think. [21:10] Speaker 2: Yes, because then it turns it turned my opinion from [21:15] Speaker 2: doubtful of my own experiences too. Now I need to [21:19] Speaker 2: know more. And the hard part is it's hard to [21:22] Speaker 2: learn more about what and other than getting some of [21:24] Speaker 2: these experiences from locals over years, you might get a [21:28] Speaker 2: few if you're lucky. But having this kind of exposure [21:32] Speaker 2: in the area, not even just man Away, but whether [21:35] Speaker 2: it's Spirit's Vile, original Straights, Burrow, any of those areas. [21:42] Speaker 2: I think it's really good for people to speak up [21:44] Speaker 2: because for those listening that have had experiences, just know [21:48] Speaker 2: that you aren't alone. There's just a lot of people [21:50] Speaker 2: that don't know the proper outlets to go to and [21:54] Speaker 2: be taken seriously. So I think this is really beneficial. [21:58] Speaker 2: I do have a question for you your mind, So [22:01] Speaker 2: are there active researchers out in the area right now [22:05] Speaker 2: or at least during this time period of this past [22:08] Speaker 2: week or so. [22:09] Speaker 1: Yeah, one hundred percent so the individual that reached out [22:14] Speaker 1: to me really quickly actually was an individual who he's [22:20] Speaker 1: a bigfoot researcher named Glenn Atkins with the Ohio Squatch [22:25] Speaker 1: Project and local gentlemen, and so that individual who's okay [22:31] Speaker 1: with me putting that information out publicly, he is the [22:34] Speaker 1: one where you know, he is able to talk to [22:38] Speaker 1: witnesses over the last week and follow up with them [22:43] Speaker 1: and go to areas, and so I've been I've been [22:45] Speaker 1: partnering with Glenn and his team, so. [22:49] Speaker 2: Well, that's wonderful to hear. That's I think I would [22:53] Speaker 2: I would emphasize too that anybody does live nearby and [22:57] Speaker 2: they're curious and I want to gope out the area [22:59] Speaker 2: or do whatever, just please make sure that you're doing [23:04] Speaker 2: so under the premise of you're not bothering people or [23:06] Speaker 2: going against the permission or going on the property or [23:09] Speaker 2: doing anything like that. You know, if people reach out [23:13] Speaker 2: and they want you to come to their place or [23:15] Speaker 2: do something like that, that's one thing, But I don't [23:17] Speaker 2: want to promote that message. And I'm sure you kind [23:20] Speaker 2: of stand in the same frame as I do with that. [23:22] Speaker 2: But so we have these these encounters for myself over [23:27] Speaker 2: twenty twenty to twenty twenty one, and then twenty twenty two. [23:32] Speaker 2: I could tell you there's another area that people don't [23:35] Speaker 2: talk about a lot. So I noticed Tanker's Creek was [23:38] Speaker 2: mentioned as one of those sightings. I was observed Tanker's [23:43] Speaker 2: Creek is very common for a lot of wildlife because [23:48] Speaker 2: it's so it's a nature preserved so it has a [23:52] Speaker 2: lot of open open land and it's not really tampered [23:55] Speaker 2: with too much, a lot of ponds or I think [23:59] Speaker 2: there's even a lake in there too. I actually go [24:03] Speaker 2: to Tinkers Creek or I used to actually say, I [24:05] Speaker 2: don't really do it anymore, but I used to go [24:07] Speaker 2: late at night to take long walks and just kind [24:11] Speaker 2: of decompress, and I really think there's it does not start. [24:17] Speaker 2: I have never had an experience out there myself, but [24:21] Speaker 2: I've definitely I've always wondered while walking out there, you know, [24:25] Speaker 2: what is going on out here, like if there is [24:27] Speaker 2: anything out here, Based on some of the stories that [24:29] Speaker 2: I've heard over the years, it definitely would be. It [24:33] Speaker 2: was not shocking for me to hear that Tankers Creek [24:35] Speaker 2: was mentioned. The only thing that's weird about it is [24:39] Speaker 2: when I was looking at your map. That one stood [24:43] Speaker 2: out to me because it's actually northwest of Streetsboro, where [24:47] Speaker 2: it seems like the patterns that you're observing are traveling [24:50] Speaker 2: more eastbounds if I'm not mistaken. [24:55] Speaker 1: Yeah, And so that's interesting because the the way that [25:00] Speaker 1: the witness described it to me is so they were [25:03] Speaker 1: actually driving down three oh three from Streetsboro to Hudson. [25:08] Speaker 1: So the area there, even though they said Tinkers Creek, [25:11] Speaker 1: I think if you look at a map, they're talking [25:13] Speaker 1: about how it actually crosses three oh three, And you're right, [25:18] Speaker 1: there's also the Tinkers Creek State Nature Preserve you go [25:21] Speaker 1: further north, but they're talking about an area where it's [25:24] Speaker 1: like where it crosses right next to that three oh [25:27] Speaker 1: three on streets. [25:28] Speaker 2: Oh, the main road, Okay, exactly. It makes a lot [25:31] Speaker 2: more sense, definitely. Yeah, So that area is of answers [25:39] Speaker 2: to me. I'd like to hear more about that for me, [25:43] Speaker 2: I would and a guy urge people to be careful [25:46] Speaker 2: with this information. There's a lot of areas in North [25:50] Speaker 2: Streetsboro that are very swampy. That's where their high school [25:53] Speaker 2: is located at, so that means a lot of open [25:58] Speaker 2: areas they're they're developing over the over the years, they [26:03] Speaker 2: developed and build housing and stuff, but it's still very [26:06] Speaker 2: open and swampy terrain. And I have had some experience. [26:13] Speaker 2: I've had some unusual encounters. I have one in particular [26:15] Speaker 2: that I could bring up to you, but I've also [26:18] Speaker 2: had people that I know around the area and that [26:20] Speaker 2: I had encounters here because I actually go to that area. [26:23] Speaker 2: There's a lot of there's a lot of walkways around. [26:27] Speaker 2: I used to go around the high school a lot, [26:29] Speaker 2: and then I also used to go through the woods [26:31] Speaker 2: as well and hike, and there's a lot of there's [26:36] Speaker 2: a lot of activity in that area. I just want [26:38] Speaker 2: to say, that's that's a possible site to take answer stuff. [26:43] Speaker 1: The so just to clear, just to verify. So you're [26:46] Speaker 1: saying the actual nature preserve or the area I was [26:48] Speaker 1: talking about. [26:50] Speaker 2: Oh no, my apologies. So say, if you're looking at [26:53] Speaker 2: a map on the overhead looking down on Streetsborough and [26:57] Speaker 2: you go and I'm sorry, you go south and you [27:00] Speaker 2: go to the high school. Okay, if you go to [27:06] Speaker 2: the high school, like not exactly to the high school, [27:08] Speaker 2: but that area next to it, it's all swampy terrain [27:12] Speaker 2: and as up till a few years ago, there was [27:14] Speaker 2: nothing really around that. There were no houses, there was nothing. [27:18] Speaker 2: They just started developing over the past few years there. [27:20] Speaker 2: But that area has had a lot of unusual experiences [27:25] Speaker 2: as well that I think is worth you know, at [27:28] Speaker 2: least noting or looking into, including myself. [27:31] Speaker 1: That makes total sense when you have an area where [27:34] Speaker 1: it gets developed pretty quickly, Yeah, that can really lead [27:38] Speaker 1: to some interesting experiences. As you've alluded to. [27:41] Speaker 2: I've explained the man away experiences and that made me [27:45] Speaker 2: open minded to the discussion. And it wasn't until not [27:49] Speaker 2: that long ago I had an experienced that was unusual [27:51] Speaker 2: on Streets bro that I think as you put out there, [27:54] Speaker 2: so people and again it goes to that area where [27:57] Speaker 2: we discussed near the streets Broke kind of near the [27:59] Speaker 2: street Brow High School behind it, it gets very swampy. [28:02] Speaker 2: So there's a neighborhood that was developed there recently. People [28:08] Speaker 2: walk through there all the time. It's not it's not [28:12] Speaker 2: common to walk through the woods or people walk through [28:14] Speaker 2: the neighborhood, and maybe other people have had experiences there. [28:17] Speaker 2: I don't know, Like I know what I've been told [28:20] Speaker 2: of in the woods, but I don't know about the neighborhood, [28:23] Speaker 2: but those woods are very active of unusual occurrences such [28:27] Speaker 2: as sounds or citing something they can't explain, And in fact, [28:32] Speaker 2: I've even spotted things that I can't really explain there [28:35] Speaker 2: and where animals act weird because something is nearby. So yeah, [28:42] Speaker 2: something with that, something with that Streetsborough area I cannot explain. [28:46] Speaker 2: But I don't want to hitch onto it because I [28:48] Speaker 2: don't know enough about it, and I only know my [28:51] Speaker 2: main experiences of man away where I've had an up close, [28:55] Speaker 2: at least driving by encounter where that really freaked me out, [29:00] Speaker 2: where I don't even take the road anymore because I [29:03] Speaker 2: just don't want to encounter that. [29:05] Speaker 1: Sure. [29:06] Speaker 2: Something that I've noticed is when people explain something they like, [29:12] Speaker 2: some experience they've had, and maybe you can tell me [29:17] Speaker 2: if you feel similar about this, I've noticed I have [29:22] Speaker 2: doubts when they are it's kind of rolling it off [29:26] Speaker 2: the tongue like oh, yeah, it was you know, it [29:29] Speaker 2: was really neat to see it or whatever, like they [29:32] Speaker 2: kind of explained it like, oh that was cool. Well [29:35] Speaker 2: I could tell you firsthand that was not cool. And [29:37] Speaker 2: the fact that for years I can't take that road, [29:40] Speaker 2: I'm horrified of it. And I don't get rabbled easily, [29:42] Speaker 2: So I don't know. They might be different how they [29:47] Speaker 2: handle things, But I just know somebody seems a little [29:50] Speaker 2: more genuine when they seem a little bit more terrified [29:53] Speaker 2: of the experience. [29:56] Speaker 1: You can definitely tell that. And that's where it gets [29:59] Speaker 1: tricky too, because I mean, you have different that you [30:02] Speaker 1: have some people where like they are so stoic that [30:06] Speaker 1: they could have they could have a t rex in [30:09] Speaker 1: their backyard and they'd be like, yeah, well I saw [30:12] Speaker 1: a t rex and I didn't know what to like. [30:15] Speaker 1: But I get it yet. Usually, like when I've talked [30:17] Speaker 1: to people in Oregon face to face, it's like, man, [30:19] Speaker 1: they experienced something, and you know that they don't want [30:23] Speaker 1: to live with what they have to live with now, [30:26] Speaker 1: and they didn't choose to experience it, you know what [30:28] Speaker 1: I mean. So I do get what you're saying. [30:32] Speaker 2: Exactly, and and forgive me for my lack of knowledge [30:35] Speaker 2: of this. It's just I'm still learning more over the [30:37] Speaker 2: past week or so as I become more familiar with [30:39] Speaker 2: your content. Did you have any experiences throughout your life [30:43] Speaker 2: that really put you into this passion of solving or [30:46] Speaker 2: like figuring out through sightings and and tracking these people down, [30:50] Speaker 2: these witnesses. Was there like a main event and that [30:53] Speaker 2: happened to you in particular or somebody you know? [30:57] Speaker 1: I would say, I would say, you know, the story [31:02] Speaker 1: for myself is it's more like, you know, I grew [31:07] Speaker 1: up watching a lot of weird stuff like unsolved mysteries, [31:10] Speaker 1: and then I discovered the joy of interviewing through a [31:13] Speaker 1: documentary has involved with in Central Iowa, and then you know, [31:20] Speaker 1: during the pandemic, started a podcast, and then that transitioned [31:25] Speaker 1: over to being fully Bigfoot focused as I realized that [31:29] Speaker 1: the individuals that have had these experiences really need a [31:32] Speaker 1: solid outlet where they can be able to share their [31:36] Speaker 1: experiences and work through them and not have to worry [31:39] Speaker 1: about being made fun of and just be able to [31:43] Speaker 1: really get it off their chest. So I wouldn't say [31:46] Speaker 1: that there was an actual maybe a few trigger experiences [31:51] Speaker 1: for me along the way, but you know, I have [31:54] Speaker 1: definitely you know, the subject to me is fascinating as well. [31:58] Speaker 1: You know, I'm trying to figure it out for myself [32:01] Speaker 1: as I'm talking to individuals that I interview, so that [32:06] Speaker 1: you know, they and listeners can figure it out for [32:08] Speaker 1: themselves too, So that's kind of the way that I [32:11] Speaker 1: try to describe it. It's been an interesting journey along [32:15] Speaker 1: the way I would say. [32:18] Speaker 2: Well, and I really am thankful, along with a lot [32:23] Speaker 2: of your viewers, that you do this because I wish [32:25] Speaker 2: I came across you a lot earlier. I wish you [32:27] Speaker 2: didn't take the miss to figure out about you and [32:30] Speaker 2: your work. And I think it is I don't know. [32:37] Speaker 2: I think it's very satisfying to get it off my test, [32:39] Speaker 2: to explain to people that would understand me in a circumstance, [32:43] Speaker 2: and it feels refreshing for once, where normally I feel [32:46] Speaker 2: very reserved about explaining any of those experiences because, like [32:52] Speaker 2: I said, the stigma that comes with it. Oh yeah, [32:55] Speaker 2: I'm sure you saw something. Well, somebody has an experience [33:00] Speaker 2: are gonna thank You're full of it. So I am [33:03] Speaker 2: very glad that you gave me that opportunity. So thank [33:05] Speaker 2: you once again for that. Yeah. [33:08] Speaker 1: Absolutely, I'm glad that that we were able to get [33:13] Speaker 1: you on as well. Have you so that that so [33:19] Speaker 1: you have so talking making sure you know we're talking [33:22] Speaker 1: about streets Borrow. You have had some some really unusual [33:27] Speaker 1: occurrences when you've been walking around there, You've seen animals [33:31] Speaker 1: acting weird, heard weird things things like that. [33:34] Speaker 2: Absolutely, So my encounters is streets borrow. We're not clear [33:41] Speaker 2: sightings so to say where I could go, so a [33:46] Speaker 2: tall tone, defined figure with you know, Clear's day was [33:51] Speaker 2: nighttime usually because I usually go out late at night. [33:54] Speaker 2: I'm a night out also. But I've the experiences I've [33:58] Speaker 2: had of walking through those trails or in the woods [34:01] Speaker 2: or even in the neighborhoods since they are developing a [34:06] Speaker 2: lot of those areas. There's a lot of the open [34:07] Speaker 2: areas of those developments where they just don't have houses [34:10] Speaker 2: and it's's not lit. It's very open, and I've had [34:15] Speaker 2: I've had occurrencies where I've seen I've seen animals such [34:18] Speaker 2: as deer standing out the middle of the road, just [34:21] Speaker 2: packs of them and they look terrified. I've seen I've [34:24] Speaker 2: been in the woods and I've seen I've seen animals [34:27] Speaker 2: scatter in all directions. I heard weird noises and noises [34:31] Speaker 2: that are similar to what I heard in that farm. [34:33] Speaker 2: So for me, it's stuck with me because I remember [34:39] Speaker 2: that experience of seeing my both occurrences in man Away, [34:44] Speaker 2: I had similar experiences where I've heard the same things, [34:47] Speaker 2: and to see animals freaking out like that as just inexplicable. [34:52] Speaker 2: I can't really explain it, because you know, if you [34:55] Speaker 2: come up to a deer sometimes there's a family of [34:58] Speaker 2: deer sitting there, you come close to them, they might [35:01] Speaker 2: scatter and run away, and that's normal. It's not normal [35:05] Speaker 2: when they're running towards you because they're afraid of whatever [35:08] Speaker 2: is in the opposite direction. That's something that's unusual for me, [35:12] Speaker 2: and I've had that happen, and I don't know if [35:14] Speaker 2: anybody else out there has had that experience, and please [35:18] Speaker 2: do tell, because I would like to not be the [35:20] Speaker 2: only one that has has dealt with something like that. [35:23] Speaker 2: But to see true beard and animals like that and [35:26] Speaker 2: you don't know what's around, and you hear noises and [35:29] Speaker 2: they would rather run by you because they're more afraid [35:31] Speaker 2: of what's in the opposite direction, then yes, that is [35:35] Speaker 2: I would say that's in line with possible possible big [35:41] Speaker 2: to my activity now again in the streetsbro area. I [35:43] Speaker 2: haven't really sound like I came face to face the [35:46] Speaker 2: one and saw it, and I knew for cur of [35:48] Speaker 2: the big, but I heard noises that resembled the ones [35:50] Speaker 2: I've heard before. [35:54] Speaker 1: It's fascinating. It's you know, as you go through this [35:57] Speaker 1: and you talk to individuals about certain areas and you [36:00] Speaker 1: just get you keep on getting, you know, pieces of [36:03] Speaker 1: the puzzle and you put it together and try to [36:05] Speaker 1: figure things out. And the more you hear about an [36:08] Speaker 1: area that the more it kind of comes more clear [36:12] Speaker 1: into focus. And this has just been incredibly fascinating. I [36:16] Speaker 1: think you're the You're the first individual that I've actually [36:19] Speaker 1: been able to get to come on the show from [36:23] Speaker 1: the area. So again, Rob, thank you so much for [36:25] Speaker 1: coming on the show and sharing what you've experienced over [36:29] Speaker 1: in you know, man Away and the Streetsboro area. [36:35] Speaker 2: Well, thank you once again, thank you for everything you do, [36:38] Speaker 2: and thank you for having me. Jeremiah, it was a [36:40] Speaker 2: pleasure speaking with you, and I hope more people once again, [36:43] Speaker 2: I'll emphasize it again, I hope more people feel more [36:48] Speaker 2: comfortable speak up and reach out to you with their [36:50] Speaker 2: real experiences. I'm sure you're kind of sipping through you know, [36:54] Speaker 2: what what is real? What is and it's pretty difficult, [36:57] Speaker 2: so understand and I'm speaking to the viewers here that Jeremiah, [37:02] Speaker 2: I'm sure you're overwhelmed right now. So the rest of shared, [37:07] Speaker 2: I'm sure you're in good hands because he took the [37:09] Speaker 2: time out of this day so you reach out to [37:10] Speaker 2: me and make me feel a lot a better place [37:13] Speaker 2: to explain this.

I hope to see [39:23] Speaker 1: you at the booth in Oakridge this year. We can [39:27] Speaker 1: talk about your encounter. Was able to talk to so [39:30] Speaker 1: many people last year and the year before. It is [39:34] Speaker 1: an incredible time. You're not going to want to miss it, [39:37] Speaker 1: and I'll see you there. Before we wrap this episode, [39:41] Speaker 1: I want to say something directly to a very specific [39:44] Speaker 1: group of listeners if you're in the military, any branch [39:48] Speaker 1: or forces, and if you've seen something that no one [39:50] Speaker 1: can explain, or if you're a National park ranger or [39:54] Speaker 1: forestreet worker who's been told to stay quiet. If you're [39:57] Speaker 1: a pilot who's seen something strange down on the ground, [40:01] Speaker 1: or if you're with the FBI a federal agency, or [40:04] Speaker 1: working intelligence and you stumbled upon something you're not allowed [40:07] Speaker 1: to talk about. And if you're a firefighter, paramedic, or [40:10] Speaker 1: search and rescue responder who's heard screams or found tracks [40:14] Speaker 1: that didn't make sense. If you're in the logging industry [40:18] Speaker 1: on a remote oil field, or a trucker with government [40:21] Speaker 1: contracts and you've had something happen that you've never told [40:25] Speaker 1: a soul. And if you're a biologist, a wildlife specialist, [40:29] Speaker 1: or a field researcher under contract who has found evidence [40:32] Speaker 1: you're not allowed to report. If you're a pastor, a missionary, [40:36] Speaker 1: or someone on a spiritual retreat and you saw something [40:39] Speaker 1: that shook your faith, or if you work in the shadows, CIA, NSA, [40:44] Speaker 1: or anything with clearance and you've seen what the public hasn't, [40:49] Speaker 1: then I want to talk to you, even if it's anonymous. [40:54] Speaker 1: You can reach me at Bigfoot Society at gmail dot com. [40:58] Speaker 1: The world needs to hear what you've been forced to [41:00] Speaker 1: carry alone, and you're not alone. You've got the story, [41:07] Speaker 1: We've got the mic. See you in the woods. Thank [41:11] Speaker 1: you for listening to this episode of the Bigfoot Society Podcast.
