The mere mention of Bigfoot can draw
anywhere from skepticism to fascination and it has been that way for a long
time. Bigfoot is also known by a number of other names of which includes,” Grass man” given to a creature
reportedly seen in the Akron area.
There have
been so many reported sightings over the last couple of centuries here in the
U.S. that you have to wonder if there is any fact behind these legends? With the
cable TV show called, Finding Bigfoot
being so popular, there has been a lot of discussion on Bigfoot and why we
cannot find him or are we not looking in all of the right places.
I want to introduce you to another
creature from our own area that has
a very similar description of that given to Bigfoot. The legends of this
creature came about from historical
events. The area between Massillon and Akron had at one time been inhabited
by Native Americans. The Ohio and Erie Canal began construction in 1825. There
have always been stories of huge fish that live in the undisturbed murky waters
of the canal. I myself had seen a carp that was more than 4 feet long and at
another time an enormous snapping turtle eating a Canadian goose.
