## Resource

In March 2026, the woods of Portage County, Ohio, became the center of a cryptozoological phenomenon. In a span of just five days, at least six independent witnesses reported seeing massive, eight-foot-tall figures moving along the Mahoning River. Dubbed the "Ohio Flap of 2026," this sudden uptick in activity has researchers and locals wondering if a changing climate is pushing these legends out of the shadows.
