The record — long form

The Ohio Grassman haunts Salt Fork State Park — reports clustering around the park since the 1980s, the state's largest bigfoot habitat hosting the Ohio Bigfoot Conference where the believers gather to compare notes.

The file's spine is the creature's institutionalization: a cryptid with its own conference, the Grassman being Ohio's bigfoot in the state's biggest park — a monster with infrastructure.

Tracks and structures

The witnesses describe a large hairy biped; tracks and structures are reported by researchers — the file's evidence being the classic sasquatch register: footprints, stick structures, a creature whose existence the researchers keep documenting and the science keeps declining.

The conference is the file's signature — a monster with an annual gathering at the park where it's reported, the Grassman's legend being the rare cryptid with a venue.

Why this file matters

Salt Fork is the archive's organized file — a bigfoot with a conference, the Grassman's reports being the most institutionalized in the cryptid catalog. The documented sightings and the park's hosting are the record; the creature's existence is the lore.

A park that hosts a monster's conference keeps the monster — the file's suggestion being that the Grassman's habitat is the one place believers and skeptics both visit.
