The first tale is from an 1855 issue of the Carroll Free Press, “The Monster Snake Taken,” and it rather breathlessly chronicles the capture of a serpentine lake monster from an unnamed body of water that empties into the Genesee River. The creature was captured by one Daniel Smith, “an old whaleman,” with his harpoons, strong whaleline and his experience of hunting whales; the article claims the monster was taken alive, essentially leashed to the shore with a harpoon and wire, and was measured to be 59-feet, five-inches long. That’s pretty precise, given that it was still alive and thrashing when the measurements were taken! Helltown Ohio is located just west of Brandywine Falls in Boston Township. Below Helltown is listed on Google Maps, with the marker directly on one of the dead end streets on Stanford road.

Ever since being addicted to the catfish scene I have heard about Aaron Wheatley’s Monsters on the Ohio catfish tournament. I almost made it in 2016, but a hurricane had other ideas about where I needed to be. A conflict in 2017 kept me away again. Finally, this year I have plans to make the 14-hour drive to Owensboro to see for myself why everyone talks so highly about this popular catfish tournament. To this day, the Peninsula Python is celebrated and remembered each year on Peninsula Python Day. Dogman

Tyler Moses and Bill Parfitt were crowned the eight annual Monsters on the Ohio champs. Their bag of 112.2 pounds included the second biggest fish in the tournament at 57.7 pounds. It was a true team effort with both anglers contributing one of the overs to the total weight. These creatures were ten feet long, and each had four long arms, “on the end of which were claws that resembled the hands of an ape.” These arms they used to grab onto the ship and in defense, taking hooks and other implements from the sailors and trying to rescue their fellow monsters whenever one would be caught. A young couple was out playing Pokemon GO when they claimed to see a giant frog-like creature that “ stood on two legs and walked towards them“. Muse went on to thank tournament director Aaron Wheatley and Owensboro KY for a well-run Monsters on the Ohio. He also thanked everyone engaged in sponsoring the growing sport of tournament catfishing.I find it interesting how Helltown has come full circle. Natives were forced from their land to settle in Helltown, then 200 years later the government forces people from their homes to protect that same land. Finally, there are a pair of July 1890 articles from a paper called Democratic Northwest. The first tells briefly of a giant snake travelling through the air on a cloud in India (no mention of wings, just that “he kept continually rolling over and darting out his head in a genuine snake fashion”), while the second of a whole school of bizarre sea monsters sighted by a sea captain twenty miles off Cape Hatteras near North Carolina. If you’re anything like myself, you have to admit a bit of skepticism about some of these creatures, but maybe that’s only how you feel until you see one for yourself. The Cincinnati Daily Star also published the next article from an Ohio paper, 1879’s “Two Terrified Hunters: Chased by an Enraged Maniac on Whom They Fired.” Said maniac is a wildman, which cryptozoology enthusiasts will recognize as a precursor to the modern Bigfoot stories. In Vermont, a pair of hunters saw “a huge, hairy object…spring from behind the cliff and start for the woods, running with the speed of the wind.” Thinking it an animal, the hunteres fired and grazed its arm, at which point it turned and resumed running with the speed of the wind, right at them.

Rumors circulated that if you parked on the bridge at night you would hear babies crying in the forest. Sometimes tiny hand prints would be found on your car windows and on the hood. End Of The World The stories of the Loveland Frogmen have been repeated throughout the decades, with the most recent sighting taking place in 2016.Yet another Bigfoot-type creature lurks in Ohio, this time near Minerva. The Minerva Monster was first spotted by the Cayton family in the late 1970s when they followed the sound of their barking dogs to a pit on their property where they disposed of trash. The creature returned to the family’s property so often that it was witnessed by several other friends and family members and even investigated by the sheriff. Stories about wildmen of various types account for the next biggest category, with 23 articles, while eagles or giant birds accounted for eight articles and giant snakes for seven. But what you may not know is that according to cryptozoologists, Ohio is a hotbed for cryptids & creature activity.
