Author and paranormal researcher James Willis will share stories of monsters and cryptids across the state of Ohio.

Prepare for the Wild Side of Ohio!

Forget everything you thought you knew about cryptids—Ohio’s legends are about to blow your mind! Sure, we have Bigfoot sightings, but Ohio's own version, the Ohio Grassman, roams our woods. And that’s just the start! In the waters of Lake Erie, South Bay Bessie, Ohio’s very own Loch Ness Monster, lurks beneath the surface. Creepy half-man, half-frog creatures? Yep, that’s the Loveland Frog for you. But wait—there’s more! Ever heard of the Melonheads, or seen a vampire or werewolf prowling the state? This presentation is packed with spine-tingling tales of Ohio’s strange, mysterious creatures that will have you questioning what’s really out there. Don’t miss out—join us for a night of thrilling cryptid discoveries that you’ll never forget!
