(AUDIO RECORDING) Possible 'MINERVA MONSTER' Roars Recorded By Security Guard

"The roaring started. It started far off to my right side. So far, I could barely hear it. I thought it was a person messing with me from like a mile or two away. But it got closer SO QUICKLY!"

The following account was forwarded to me:

"In 2018 I got a super easy job as a security guard for a natural gas pipeline construction project in rural Ohio. This was outside of Minerva, home of the locally famous "Minerva Monster" story from the 70s or 80s. My job was to just sit at the entrance to this construction site to make sure no one sabotaged or stole construction equipment, which never happened so I mostly did literally nothing from 7pm to 7am.

There were 2 houses within a mile of where I was and most nights their dogs would bark all night in some kind of yelling match with the coyotes. It was just a constant that you could rely on. Dogs barking, coyotes yipping, and occasionally a cow or two mooing in between with a neverending chorus of crickets and frogs in the background.

One night in August, around 2am, EVERYTHING went quiet. It was the weirdest most eerie abrupt silence. It gave me goosebumps. I genuinely thought there might be an earthquake or something about to happen. And it stayed silent for about an hour and I was anxious the entire time. Then, the roaring started. It started far off to my right side. So far, I could barely hear it. I thought it was a person messing with me from like a mile or two away. But it got closer SO QUICKLY. Here is the recording.

This thing was vocalizing every couple of seconds and at some points, it sounds pretty pissed at something. The sound quickly crossed my field of hearing in about 5.5 minutes it went from out of earshot on my right, crossed in front of me, and then was out of earshot on my left. I cannot describe how FAST this thing had to be moving to cover that kind of distance in that short of a time. At its closest, the sound reverberated in my chest and literally rattled the windows of my car.

I've spent much of my life fishing, hunting, camping, and hiking in Ohio. I know every kind of sound of every kind of animal Ohio has to offer. The ONLY animal explanation I will accept for this recording is MAYBE a beagle or some kind of hound baying but even then I don't believe it I could just kind of see it could be that possible. People have tried to tell me this is a deer and I laugh at them. Some people think it sounds like a rusty gate or machinery but I don't really hear that and the way it reverberated is not how squeaky rusty sounds carry through the woods." J
