aug 16, 1978 - Minerva Monster
Description:
Minerva, Ohio is a small town of 3000 in Northeast Ohio. in August of 1978 when the grandchildren of Minerva residents Evelyn and Howe Clayton, along with their friends, ran inside screaming about a hairy monster they saw in the gravel pit outside. When the couple went out to investigate, they saw what the crying children had described. It was covered in dark matted hair, sitting in the pit and fiddling with discarded trash. It was estimated to be around 300 pounds. The Claytons fled, but this would not be their last encounter with Ohio's ape-man. Various other sightings occured, but one of the most disturbing was when Howe Clayton's pet German shepard was heared whining and barking frantically until it abruptly stopped, when investigating they saw their pet with its neck snapped and several cuts from "long claws or fingernails" and blood trailing into the woods.
