Episode Details

In this episode, we hear from Rob, a lifelong resident of Portage County, Ohio, who shares a series of encounters that began years before the recent headlines ever reached his area.


Driving late at night through the backroads near Mantua, he comes face to face with something massive standing just off the roadside. Tall, broad, covered in dark fur, and gone within seconds, the moment sticks with him long after he tries to move on.


Time passes, and the experiences continue. A quiet night on a deck overlooking farmland turns into something else entirely as branches snap in the distance, a strange scream cuts through the air, and a towering figure moves along the tree line under moonlight. This time, he isn’t the only one who sees it.


As more conversations unfold, a pattern begins to emerge. Others in the same area have seen similar figures. Similar builds. Similar behavior. Reports that stayed quiet for years begin to line up in ways that are hard to ignore.


From the wetlands around Mantua to the developing edges of Streetsboro, Rob describes the sounds, the movement, and the unsettling reactions from wildlife that seem to signal something just out of sight.


These are the encounters that happened before anyone was calling it a flap.
