Monsters of Ohio

Product Information

These creatures were ten feet long, and each had four long arms, “on the end of which were claws that resembled the hands of an ape.” These arms they used to grab onto the ship and in defense, taking hooks and other implements from the sailors and trying to rescue their fellow monsters whenever one would be caught. Finally, there are a pair of July 1890 articles from a paper called Democratic Northwest. The first tells briefly of a giant snake travelling through the air on a cloud in India (no mention of wings, just that “he kept continually rolling over and darting out his head in a genuine snake fashion”), while the second of a whole school of bizarre sea monsters sighted by a sea captain twenty miles off Cape Hatteras near North Carolina. a b "Small Town Monsters presents Mysteries & Monsters".

So here there seems to be what we might consider a 19th century Bigfoot sighting, even if it’s not the most spectacular story. Other than the fact that includes a wild man/Bigfoot at all, of course. In 1955, a man was traveling through Loveland, Ohio, when he saw three mysterious creatures. Of course, the story has many versions, so he either saw them near Branch Hill OR over/under a bridge on the Little Miami River. The unnamed man claims that he saw the figures, which were about 3-4 feet tall, conversing with one another. The creatures had leathery skin and the faces of frogs.So, out of all these monster reports that fill this book, are none actually set within the state of Ohio? There are two, both from 1887, one of which I included in my own book, Monsters of Ohio. These include well-known monsters of like The Lake Erie Monster, the prehistoric serpent said to patrol the state’s north coast; West Virginia’s famed Mothman, who made several flying forays into southeastern Ohio in the late 1960s; The Loveland Frogmen, the humanoid frogs seen in the Cincinnati suburb in the 1970s; and various versions of Bigfoot-like creatures, including The Grassman, The Minerva Monster, The Norwalks Ape, Richland County’s Big Head and the notorious monster of lovers’ lane, Orange Eyes.

The truth in the matter is that a family camped in the bus while they finished building their home. The bus has now been towed away. Mutant Town The first tale is from an 1855 issue of the Carroll Free Press, “The Monster Snake Taken,” and it rather breathlessly chronicles the capture of a serpentine lake monster from an unnamed body of water that empties into the Genesee River. The creature was captured by one Daniel Smith, “an old whaleman,” with his harpoons, strong whaleline and his experience of hunting whales; the article claims the monster was taken alive, essentially leashed to the shore with a harpoon and wire, and was measured to be 59-feet, five-inches long. That’s pretty precise, given that it was still alive and thrashing when the measurements were taken! Balint, Ed (June 24, 2018). "Folklore Hides in Shadows". Akron Beacon Journal.

Ever since being addicted to the catfish scene I have heard about Aaron Wheatley’s Monsters on the Ohio catfish tournament. I almost made it in 2016, but a hurricane had other ideas about where I needed to be. A conflict in 2017 kept me away again. Finally, this year I have plans to make the 14-hour drive to Owensboro to see for myself why everyone talks so highly about this popular catfish tournament. Balint, Ed (June 7, 2022). "Ghosts, Bigfoot and UFOs: Monster Fest coming to downtown Canton next year". The Repository . Retrieved November 3, 2022. As the months passed by, the snake evaded the people of Peninsula, and when August approached, they assumed that the upcoming winter would cause the snake to die. Although sightings continued in nearby counties, none were as detailed as the Cayton families, whose stories remained unchanged for decades.

The Loveland Frog is one of Ohio's trademark cryptids. / Dan Chudzinksi, Rutherford B. Rutherford B. Hayes Presidential Library and Museum According to reports, two young boys were playing on the banks of a small creek when they were startled by a massive, snake-like creature. The monster sprouted arms and snatched one of the boys, dragging him nearly 100 yards to a massive sycamore tree that was assumed to be its den. I find it interesting how Helltown has come full circle. Natives were forced from their land to settle in Helltown, then 200 years later the government forces people from their homes to protect that same land. According to director Breedlove, production on Minerva Monster began in September 2014. [5] The film was shot and edited over the course of eight months. [5]This particular article was also among those included in the Ohio chapter of the previously mentioned The Historical Bigfoot, although in that book the source is he Indiana, Pennsylvania Progress, and the year was 1886. Our success came because we did not harass the fish we found before the tournament,” said Ransom. “I had been on those fish for about 10 days, but only dropped baits on them two times before the tourney.” Yet another Bigfoot-type creature lurks in Ohio, this time near Minerva. The Minerva Monster was first spotted by the Cayton family in the late 1970s when they followed the sound of their barking dogs to a pit on their property where they disposed of trash.

Eyewitnesses describe the Dogman creatures as between 4-6 feet tall, often very muscular, and with pink or gray skin. It is sometimes seen on all fours or walking bipedally. The 26-foot diameter tree was eventually chopped through by dozens of men from the town and when the serpent creature reappeared, the men noted that it was between 12-14 feet tall. In March of 1959, teenagers Denny Patterson, Wayne Armstrong, and Michael Lane were running amok near the shores of Charles Mills Lake when they saw something that terrified them. Reported to be more than 11 feet tall, Orange Eyes lurks near Mansfield, Ohio, though he is said to have originated in Cleveland.The Omaha Daily Bee story is of another popular Ohio monster, the Lake Erie Monster, although this particular iteration of the monster is unlike the more typical, large, serpentine appearance. A young couple was out playing Pokemon GO when they claimed to see a giant frog-like creature that “ stood on two legs and walked towards them“. The legend goes that the government was using Helltown to dump toxic chemicals. Those chemicals then somehow created mutants which run around at night with glowing heads. To this day, the Peninsula Python is celebrated and remembered each year on Peninsula Python Day. Dogman Big Fish in 2017 went to Chad Waugh and Don Elder Jr. They boated a 67.1-pound beast to claim the big fish prize. That Big Fish turned out to be Waugh’s new personal best. It was also the second biggest fish to ever be weighed in at the Monsters tournament.
