BETHESDA, Ohio -- Two hunters were missing in two separate incidents in Belmont County, Ohio, during the weekend.

The first hunter was discovered to be missing in the Egypt Valley area, in Bethesda, Saturday around 4:30 p.m., but was found around 6:30 p.m.

The second hunter was discovered to be missing a little after 8 p.m. on Sunday night, but found around 8:45 p.m.

The first hunter contacted authorities by cell phone and then fired shots into the air so that responders could locate him.

Authorities had to use four-wheelers to rescue the second hunter.

The Egypt Valley Wildlife Area, north of I-70, is a well-know hunting spot.

Alrighty since when do urban legends become the news? Its like putting a story on that someone had a relative wake up and their organs have been cut out of them and put for sale on the black market. Come on next is it going to be the bloody mary story? don't step on a crack! What are we in Junior high school honestly!
