NAME... Kenneth Holycross
COUNTY OF INCIDENT... Marion

TIME... 10 or 11 p.m.
WITNESS... Myself (Mr. Holycross)
LOCATION OF INCIDENT... Behind my house on the Erie Lackawana railroad tracks in Marion, Ohio.
TERRAIN... A good bit of wooded areas. It was very very hard to get through at the time. A good bit of it is still the same.
WEATHER... Very hot clear full moon lit night.
HOW CLOSE TO THE CREATURE... Between 50 to 100'.
HEIGHT... Six to seven feet.
COLOR... Dark in color.
WEIGHT... Between 350 and 400 pounds.
DESCRIBE WHAT HAPPENED... It was a hot night so I went outside to get cool and watch the bats and other wild animals go through the yard. As I looked towards the tracks I spotted the animal walking right down the middle of the tracks. I sat there very quietly. I never moved or made a sound. I was more interested in what it was than scared. It walked to the south on the tracks and I do not think it saw me because it never looked my way and it never ran. I watched it until it was out of sight. It walked like a human but alot bigger.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION... The strange thing was that all of a sudden it got very quiet, no coyotes howling, no dogs barking, no crickets chirping and no animals came around for a long time after it left.
