Report 69490: Missing chickens lead to discovery of large footprints by chicken coop near Bloomingdale

On July 9th at approximately 10:00 A.M. I noticed my five chickens were missing. The chicken coop was full of feathers but no bodies or blood. I did a perimeter check and came across an extremely large footprint. I went back to the house and brought down a tape measure to the footprint and measured it and took pictures with the tape measure beside it. The foot print measured Length: 18" Width: 9"-10". On the 23rd of July, Jim Thompson BFRO Investigator of Ohio had contacted me and came out to investigate. During Jim's first visit he found four more footprints near the original footprint. Jim stated that the other footprints were about four feet spread apart from each other. On July 24th at approximately 12:38 A.M. I heard a sort of yelping noise coming from one end of my property and heard a quick response (same type of noise) come from the other end of my property. At night time every now and then on my property I get an eerie feeling that something is watching me.
