North Royalton Branch

Large Meeting Room 121 & 122 (126)

Celebrate Hauntober and join the author of such titles as "Weird Ohio" and "The Big Book of Ohio Ghost Stories," for a look at the creepy creatures that call the Buckeye State their home.

Celebrate Hauntober and join James A. Willis – the author of such titles as Weird Ohio, The Big Book of Ohio Ghost Stories and Ohio's Historic Haunts – for a look at the creepy creatures that call the Buckeye State their home.

Like every other state, Ohio has its fair share of Bigfoot sightings. So many, in fact, that Ohioans believe we even have our own version of Bigfoot: The Ohio Grassman. But don’t worry about the Grassman getting lonely in Ohio. That’s because Ohio is alleged to be home to a whole host of bizarre and unique monsters and cryptids, including South Bay Bessie (Lake Erie’s version of the Loch Ness Monster), the Loveland Frog (said to be a half-man, half-frog creature) and the Melonheads. This presentation will even throw in a few vampire and werewolf sightings, too!
