A very tall figure in Pike County, Ohio

On a summer day in 2013 or 2014, my dog (a miniature Italian Greyhound) and I were driving on back roads. I parked my car and was going to walk to the top of the hill. My dog, which travels with me, wouldn’t get out of the car which was very odd. I walked to the top of the hill and was looking down the gravel road ahead. At first I didn’t notice the creature. I started to turn when I caught movement out of the corner of my eye. When I turned my eyes back on the subject, I noticed it turning. It took a few steps and disappeared into the treeline. I saw the creature from the side. It was being about 7-foot-tall. It had gray hair. The body was very thick and its arms hung to about its knees. I couldn't see from his knees down. I didn’t notice any odor.

What stood out: a very tall figure
