Very rare possibility.

Mountain lions have been moving east from the western range (about 50-100 are in southwest Florida but the large populations are out west).

However, the reported sightings have not mentioned Ohio. There was a sighting in Michigan and Illinois.

In Florida here, the mountain lions (actually Florida panthers) are confined to the Everglades/ SW Florida. There have been some sightings as far north as Orlando. A friend that lives on the east side of Orlando (a bit too far east to be called a suburb) and in a rural area claims they have been hearing a panther scream periodically. They took a photo of an Eastern Diamondback rattlesnake that had to be 10 foot long that was sunbathing across the full length of their driveway, and I would not be surprised if a panther made their property home also.

Florida Panthers were in Volusia County 25 years ago.
