Grassman, also known as the Ohio Grassman is a legendary ape-like cryptid that reportedly inhabits the grasslands of Ohio. ==Descriptions== Grassman is described as "a Bigfoot type creature" that is 7 feet tall, 300 pounds, and "leaves 3 toed tracks," according to reports from the territory around Cuyahoga Valley National Park "north of the Akron area." Loren Coleman writes, "Outside of California, I don't know of another state that has as many 'Bigfoot' investigators." ... "one of the best cases issued from Minerva, Ohio ... in early July and August 1978.... (sightings ) began in ernest on August 21, 1978."〔Coleman, 200–01〕 He then quotes three pages of investigator Ron Shaffner's notes on the case. Because of the occasional "two-toned, multicolored hair pattern" found in creatures in this area, Coleman calls them "marked hominids," a term he prefers to "Eastern Bigfoot." He says they are "more human-looking and somewhat shorter than the classic Neo-Giant," such as the Patterson film Bigfoot.〔Coleman, 204–05〕 Don Keating, one of those Bigfoot investigators, self-published a report of Bigfoot sighting and "hearing" reports,〔Keating, 7–40〕 possible-track finds,〔Keating, 41–56〕 reprinted newspaper stories about both,〔Keating, 57–63〕 and a videotaping of an ambiguous white Bigfoot〔Keating, 64–70〕 in an area within a 25-mile radius of Newcomerstown, Ohio in the mid-1980s and early 1990s. Some of the tracks had three or four toes; one of them looked like the Eric Shipton Yeti prints.〔Keating, 46, 50–52, 55〕 (Keating has subsequently published a newsletter and organized Bigfoot conferences.) ''Bigfoot Encounters in Ohio'' by Chris Murphy and others gives a complete rundown of Bigfoot incidents in the state, arranged by county and then by date.〔Murphy et al., 37–94〕 Footprints with 3 or 4 toes are noted on pages 47, 54, 65, 71, and 82. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Grassman」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
