Stow Sighting around 1980

Richard J. La Monica of Akron, Ohio submitted this report to me that he received via e-mail from a woman in northeast Ohio, after reading an article on La Monica and his research into the Bigfoot phenomenon.

Dear Rich, I am writing to you on behalf of a friend who had a Bigfoot sighting. Unfortunately, he died in 1983.

Around 1980 (kinda fuzzy on the year) my boyfriend Bobby and I were kids in High School. Bobby didn't have a car so he walked alot to get to where he was going. One night on his way back from a friends house he cut through the woods in Adell Durbin Park in Stow, Ohio, as he frequently did. The light from the houses glowed into the woods. As he was walking he noticed a very large being standing on top of a rock looking down at him. The distance is forgotten in my mind. He said it was not a human being. It was too big, and hairy from head to toe. He took off running, scared too death. He believed it was behind him the whole time. The next day he called me still scared and his voice cracking that he know's that what he saw was not human. Bobby wasn't a story teller and the sound of his voice had me instantly a believer in what he saw. Needless to say he never cut through the woods again at night by himself. To this day I believe he saw a Bigfoot. Your story in the Akron Beacon Journal, along with my 12 year old son, prompted me to write you and give another location that the creature was spotted.  Thanks for your time, and happy hunting!
