Ohio Bigfoot Sightings

These are works of fiction. Any resemblance to actual events or persons is coincidental.

Three immersive first-person fiction pieces set in the woods, roads, and hills of Ohio.

These are original works of fiction. The author discloses this clearly — inspired by Bigfoot lore and first-person storytelling traditions, not real events.

Ohio has more documented Bigfoot sightings per square mile than almost any state. These are three fictional accounts inspired by that lore — immersive first-person fiction published in The Dark Archive. Full stories are available to members.
