On Saturday, May 18, from 2 to 4 p.m., join us in the Ripley Library Annex for a return visit by the Ohio Night Stalkers for a program titled “Bigfoot in the Buckeye State.” This is a free program, and everyone is welcome to attend.
Mike Feltner and Mike Miller with Ohio Night Stalkers have been busy since their last visit to Ripley. They have appeared on the following tv shows: “Terror in the Woods” on the Destination America Channel, “These Woods are Haunted” on the Travel Channel, “Coast to Coast” WLW AM Radio and in a two-part documentary movie On Amazon Prime “Small Town Monsters ….. On the Trail of Bigfoot.”
People have spotted Bigfoot creatures for over 400 years, describing the creature as hairy men; creatures of the forest. Sightings of bigfoot type cryptids have taken place all over the world, with tribal cultures and Native Americans having lore of such a man-beast. Bigfoot footprints have been found and reported for over seventy years. The British explorer David Thompson is sometimes credited with the first discovery in 1811 of a set of Sasquatch footprints. Bigfoot is also known as Sasquatch.
According to Animal Planet, The Evidence for Bigfoot, “most researchers who study the bigfoot subject will point to the abundance of witnesses as the factor they found most compelling about the mystery when first becoming acquainted with it. Over the course of time, bigfoot researchers meet enough eyewitnesses to realize there are indeed many, many eyewitnesses across the continent who are indeed very credible. Often there are multiple witnesses to a given sighting or encounter.”
“Researchers eventually come to realize that if there are indeed so many credible eyewitnesses across the land, then the species they so consistently and emphatically describe probably exists also.”
Believer or non-believer, come and hear and see some of the evidence for yourself. There will be plenty of time for question and answers.
The Ripley Library is located at the corner of US 52 and Main Street in Ripley, Ohio.
