TIME:     1:00 AM 
 

LOCATION:   Columbiana County, Ohio 
 

TERRAIN:    Wooded 
 

OBSERVED:    From living room, i heard a noise outside and went to kitchen to see what it was. my cat was sitting on the table looking out of the window hissing with his ears back. i heard an extremely loud, repeated huffing noise. i went into next room to get the spotlight flashlight. i went out back door and down off of deck. i shined the light to the edge of the swamp and followed the woodline on other side of swamp. i saw something walk between two trees about 10 feet apart. very tall. i was unable to pick it back up on the other side of the trees. through the red lens of the spotlight, it appeared to be light brown in color.

Strangely, i never heard it walking. i didn't hear any twigs snapping. in about the thirty seconds it took to get the light and get out the back door, it was already to the back of the swamp. we have coyotes and raccoon's and you can hear them moving around, this was very quiet. i have also heard strange, high pitch calling at night.
 

Activities of Witness:   I was watching t.v. in the living room with a fan on.  
 

Description of Creature:  hard to tell how tall from across the swamp, but struck me at the time as very tall. light brown in color and walked upright like a person. 
 

Other Notes:    we have a variety of animals that come around here and i have never seen the cat react to anything like he did to the loud huffing noise.
