Regarding mysterious
Ohio
creatures there was this report in 2014:
Alien Encounter in Cincinnati ,
Ohio
“We recently bought a place in the fort hill area. we first
noticed after about 30 days of living here that we suddenly have a perfect
circle that stays fresh green, no matter what weather, in our front yard.
friday night (the 12th) we were driving home and after turning on carmel rd which leads to our road (washburn) we went
around the curve by the carmel
church and then up a small incline and approx. 10 feet over the incline and in
front of our truck, the alien ran across the rd and into the woods. my husband
saw it. he is a skeptic, almost 60 years old and a proud marine. he wouldn't
have admitted to seeing it if he hadn't been in shock. i had him draw it for me
when we got to the house. he says it was asphalt gray (our asphalt is gray) and
about 7 foot tall, no arms that he could see, but muscular in the legs area. no
jawline and it's legs were bent backward and it leaned forward as it ran.”
The legs looked
very odd –almost as though they belonged to a quadruped. However, as I do not
live in Ohio
I have no idea of the full variety of wildlife there but then I accidentally
found the Doubtful News website and it featured this very brief incident.
In her piece,
Idoubtit, expressed the opinion that what was seen was nothing more than a
white Tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus)
on its hind legs or, as others suggested, great blue heron (Ardea herodias): there are other
suggestions and based on the fact that there is so little information on this
sighting I tend to go for a natural explanation.
Now there are three
other incidents and they are reported on at Phantoms and Monsters, not the most
evidence based website as I have found several times. Lon Strickler wrote:
“I recently received a 3rd report of a humanoid sighting in
the Mount Vernon , Ohio
“Hi, I am reaching out not as a hoax but to let you know
that I received a phone call from my mom in Mount Vernon , Ohio
“NOTE: I am attempting to gather more information from this
sighting. Lon”
Unfortunately, for
researchers this report is immediately thrown out. We have an anonymous report which is okay if
the writer clearly identifies herself to the investigator but this is not even
her sighting. It is her mother’s. The problem is that unless an independent
investigator can view and confirm the existence of the witness and that an
email was sent reporting the incident and that the actual witness has confirmed
details –the report is of no use.
Does the witness
use any medication or have any existing physical health problems –mental/physical? What was her frame of mind at the time of
the sighting –what kind of day had she had; any stress?
Really, unless an
investigator can talk to the witness of an event it cannot be taken as even
hearsay: far too much hoaxing and fabrication takes place on the internet.
The following is
the first Ohio
report:
“As I was driving home on 31 July 2018 at 01:43 on Ohio
state route 13 north of Mount Vernon, OH a 7-8ft tall, skinny, humanoid like
creature ran across the road out of a corn field across into a soybean field
(from a east to west direction). I noticed the creature in my headlights from
50-75ft away as I was traveling at a rate of 55-60mph. As it came out of the
cornfield I immediately let off the accelerator. At first thinking it was a
deer but then seen the creature walked upright. It was 7-8ft in height, tall
slender body, arms and legs small in diameter, hands and feet looked over-sized
for its body proportion, small neck with oval elongated head, being dark tan to
light brown skin tone and had no body hair. The creature slightly turned its
head towards my vehicles headlights and I seen the creatures black eyes and
small mouth just open slightly as it continued to run across the road. It
barely took 2-3 steps and it was across the road at a tremendous rate of speed.
I was in total shock and thought I should check it out at first but then
thought for a second and being uncertain of what I may have just seen I had
better get out of the area. I lost sight of the entity due to darkness. I am a
24 year USAF retired aircrew veteran with a top secret security clearance. Not
to be totally bliss but would someone please advise me on what I seen because
it still and truly and frightened me”. - MUFON
The news item can
be found here: https://mountvernonnews.com/article/2018/08/10/alien-sighting-north-of-mount-vernon/
I am sorry to say
that just because it carries a “MUFON” (Mutual UFO Network) tag most people
will accept this outright. What we have,
though, is the old problem: a single witness driving along a dark road in the
early hours. Again, you could go for a deer crossing the road but there are
other options such as a waking dream and this could be a viable explanation but
unless MUFON provide online access to the investigator’s report we have no idea
how the interview was carried out.
There are reasons
why I tend to be more sceptical about quick sightings under these conditions
but in the end it is down to what you want to believe.
Strickler then goes
on to refer to a second sighting in the Mount
Vernon , Ohio
“Mount Vernon , Ohio - 2018-08-17: I had just gotten back to the parking
lot down from Mount Vernon ’s Wolf Run Park
There are a lot of
warning signs here: the witness felt he had been followed throughout his hike
and even describes himself as “feeling super sketched out” and also: “The noise
it made still freaks me out like it was like a Velociraptor from a movie but it
made me light-headed and made me feel sick in a strange way I’ve never felt”. The psychological frame of mind of the
witness would need to be ascertained as there really are a lot of red lights
here.
How often did the
person go hiking? Had they been under
home or work pressure at the time and had they had any other experiences
before?
The problem is that
ufologists will accept these reports based on the website version or news
item. This is really –really- bad practice. We need as much
information as possible about the witnesses and their lives at the time of
their sightings –so long as it can be confirmed that the witnesses do exist they need not be named:
it is important that genuine witnesses need their anonymity protected but research
hers need to know that they are not being fed a story because that could result
in months or even many years wasted –and of course bad data is used.
Also, there are a few fake videos out there of very similar entities which makes me suspicious. See...
For these reports
we quite honestly have nothing.
You may think we do
but that is down to personal opinion and beliefs.
