Ohio's Sasquatch Triangle, Tim Stover, and the Failure of Local TV News to get it right

Tim Stover Jr and the map of the Bigfoot Triangle

In central Ohio there is the Sasquatch Triangle. This triangle, including sections of Tuscarawas, Guernsey, Muskingum and Coshocton counties, is home to the most frequent Bigfoot sightings in the state. They also have a more specific name for their Bigfoot called the Ohio Grassman.

Recently WKYC, an NBC-affiliated television station located in Cleveland, Ohio did a terrible job promoting next episode of Animal Planet's Finding Bigfoot by calling the show Bigfoot Hunters.

Bigfoot spotted in Portage County?

Written and fact-checked poorly by Carl Bachtel

RAVENNA --  A local "Bigfoot" researcher says he's seen one in Ohio.

Twenty years ago, deer hunter Tim Stover Jr. saw something in the woods that changed his life. 

"This thing was white, gray, silver-colored and hairy looking. It was a bipedal subject staring right at me," he recounts. He believes it was Bigfoot.

Since then, Stover spends his free time in the woods searching for evidence of the hairy beast. He says he has found footprints in Northeast Ohio at West Branch State Park, located in Portage County.  

Stover says he and his son, plus a few like-minded friends, hike the woods near the state park's campground. During camping season, they even do seminars on Bigfoot and lead night hikes for Bigfoot researchers of all ages. The walks get people outside and generate real interesting stories around the campfire.

Tim's story will be featured on the Animal Planet show "Bigfoot Hunters" [Fail!] this Sunday night.

Bigfoot Hunters Dallas and Wayne are back

A screen shot of the old Dallas & Wayne website

"Despite setbacks over the past year, Dallas and Wayne continue their research, and we've continued to film their adventures." -- Series Creator/Producer Andrew Dodson 

You can read about the previous adventures of Dallas and Wayne. They gained notoriety mostly from the award winning documentary, Not Your Typical Bigfoot Movie. You may have even watched the movie with us, as we were at the Portland screening of the movie. The movie is decribed below:

Dallas Gilbert and Wayne Burton, two real-life Bigfoot researchers starring as themselves in a semi-fictional story providing a look into the trials and triumphs of life in the Apalacian foot hiils. Through these two amateur BF researchers from southern Ohio, we see how the power of a dream can define a friendship and provide hope and a meaning that transcends the harsh realities of life in a dying steel town.

After several failed attempts to attract national attention and convince the world Bigfoot exist, Dallas catches a lucky break. He pursuades a high-profile Bigfoot researcher [Tom Biscardi] to stop in Portsmouth and see check out the research accumulated by Dallas and Wayne. As the movie accelerates ever closer towards the realization of their mutual dream, we are reminded how fragile this shared hope truly is.

The movie turned into a TV series titled Dallas & Wayne: The Bigfoot Hunters. You can watch video of the season two premier episode below.

As you long-time fans know, we have an unhealthy obsession with Todd Standing, and since his "evidence" was showcased in the Canadian episode we begged to be in on the Video Debrief. Cliff and Craig were nice enough to oblige. As usual Cliff does a terrific job breaking down the pragmatic approach to Bigfooting, and Craig Flipy does a terrific job as a Videographer/Editor.

Enjoy the video below, while you are at it, catch up with the previous Video Debriefs and the Field Notes on Cliff Barackman's Official Blog NorthAmericanBigfoot.com.
