Bigfoot Encounters in Ohio:
Quest for the Grassman

Numerous reports of a strange apelike creature continue to emanate from Ohio's vast rural and forested areas. Now commonly known as bigfoot, the creature is mainly seen in farming communities searching for an easy meal. Large humanlike footprints in cornfields, pasture lands, and woodland trails provide tangible evidence of its presence.

Joedy Cook from the Ohio Center for Bigfoot Studies and George Clappison have spent almost twenty years investigating the bigfoot phenomenon in Ohio and other eastern states. The information they have gathered throughout Ohio is presented in this thought-provoking book by Chris Murphy, an author and bigfoot researcher from British Columbia, Canada.

While most scientists still reject the possibility of the existence of bigfoot, this book will leave you in awe as to why more is not being done to resolve what is surely North America's greatest mystery.

Originally published in 1997 under a different title, the Murphy, Cook, Clappison team has completely revised and updated the work. Many new sightings have been documented and numerous photographs and illustrations have been added. The book has had a complete makeover, with the provision of more and better information on all aspects of the remarkable bigfoot phenomenon in the State of Ohio.

Ohio ranks sixth in North America in the number of bigfoot-related incidents by state or province. The details provided in this book give a clear understanding of just how widespread the phenomenon is in Ohio. The astounding eye-witness accounts will convince even the most ardent skeptics that the bigfoot issue has gone far beyond legend and willful fabrications.

About the title: The use of the term "Grassman" to identify an unusual bipedal ape-like creature appears to go back to at least the turn of the last century. Apparently, sightings of the creature in tall grass (including the young of the species) on Ohio's plains resulted in the name. As the creature was somewhat terrifying in appearance, it appears the term was used in order to frighten children. Descriptions of the Grassman are identical to those of bigfoot or sasquatch; however, the Grassman appears to have some different habits which make it unique to this part of the country.

"This is the book that blew the lid
off Ohio 'Grassman' research.
Highly recommended for your
complete Bigfoot Library."
