Hello and welcome to the program UFO Warning.
In this episode we're looking at Maryland Bigfoot reports.
That's correct, Maryland Bigfoot reports.
I found these over at bfro.net. What a great sight.
This first one happened back on July 15th, 1999 in Allegheny
County, Maryland. Says I was off the road and
somewhat lost. I tend to get lost easily so I
don't know exactly where I was. I was in the woods off of
George's Creek Bluff, nearest town Lavale, nearest Rd.
George's Creek Blvd. I was playing near a Creek on an
elevated point. I happened to glance up into a
thicket about 30 yards away and saw a creature about as tall as
a small tree beside it. I estimate the tree was around 8
feet tall. The creature had a muscular
build with brownish Gray hair. Surprisingly, its feet were not
as large as you might expect, though they were still larger
than an average humans. The creature turned around and
began to walk toward the Creek above the hill and fright.
I ran away and never saw it again.
I guess I can see why it might be a little bit frightened
seeing that. Sounds like this was person was
pretty young at the time. The sighting happened in 1999
but it was reported in 2001. It says other witnesses.
Just me time and conditions. It was a fairly dry season and
the main creeks on the top of the mountain had started to dry
out. We were in the middle of a
drought. The sun was shining through the
tops of the trees and an environment says it was forested
with Creek and mountaintop. Follow up investigation by BFRO
investigator Ron B. The witness stated that the
animal was initially crouched down, then stood up on two legs.
The animal appeared to be limping, favoring its right
side. The witness did not see the face
or notice any details due to fright.
The witness believes the animal was searching for a water source
due to the local drought. That's interesting, this thing
and the idea of this thing could be limping, how these things
might sustain injuries just like any other animal.
Very cool. This sighting was submitted on
Sunday, May 9th, 2010. Says man recalls seeing a tall,
dark creature behind his house near Laurel.
This happened August 15th, 1998 in Anne Arundel County,
Maryland. From the Brook Bridge Rd. follow
River Bridge way West, turn left on Forest Bridge Court, then
right on Serene court. The sighting occurred adjacent
to the retention pond at the end of the cul-de-sac nearest town.
Laurel nearest Rd. Brock Bridge Rd. observed I I
can't remember the exact date but it was sometime in the mid
1990s in the far western portion of Anne Arundel County, Laurel
to be exact, where 3 counties converge, Anne Arundel, Howard
and Prince George's. We lived off Rockbridge Rd.
parallel to the Baltimore Washington Parkway. 1 evening
while I was outside with our Labrador retriever I heard a
rustling noise behind what was a drainage pond for our community.
It was summer and the sun was setting giving the area a dusk
like appearance. When I turned and so did the
dog, I couldn't believe my eyes. I observed a large ape like
figure, approximately 10:50 feet tall moving through the woods
behind the pond. It was about 100 yards away.
I froze and so did my dog. We stood there for what seemed
like 2 minutes until the creature turned and looked in
our direction. Then it slowly turned away and
dashed back into the woods never to be seen again.
I remember this incident vividly, but I didn't know about
the site until the day when my awesome nephew AB told me about
it. So here I am.
Reported this encounter so others can be aware and know the
truth. This is other witness my
Labrador retriever Daisy. Other stories.
I had heard of other incidents like this in Laurel but didn't
believe them until I had my own sighting time and conditions.
Dusk and then follow up by BFRO investigator DK The Witness,
Rich K was contacted by phone and recounted the events of his
experience as follows. In August 1998, Rich was walking
his Labrador retriever alongside his home adjacent to a storm
water retention pool. A rustling sound in the brush
and movement from the corner of his eye caught his attention.
When he turned to look, Rich observed a tall creature about
100 yards away moving just inside the wooded area.
At first, Rich thought to himself, There's a very large
man back there. After briefly looking away, he
looked back again and realized the creature was now looking
directly at him. What followed was a stare down
that left Rich feeling scared. Eventually, the creature began
to move and Rich started to back away.
The creature then walked deeper into the woods on two feet,
gradually increasing its pace. The dog, Daisy, remained calm
throughout the incident, which Rich attributed to the distance
between them and the creature. Rich estimated the creatures
hike by comparing it to the fence it stood behind.
It towered over the four foot fence, appearing to be around 9
to 10 feet tall, hit a long hair from his head down to his
shoulders, and the rest of his body was very hairy.
The fading light and distance made facial details difficult to
discern, but Rich described his build as lean and athletic
rather than heavy. The creatures long arms hung
down its sides and his legs were similarly lengthy.
Initially, Rich assumed it must be a bear, but after closely
observing the figure, nothing about its form resembled a bear.
Years later, Rich shared his story with family members while
discussing strange experiences. His family directed him to the
BFRO and encouraged him to submit his report.
Upon reviewing other reports of the Laurel area, Rich was
surprised to learn that a sighting had occurred within 2
miles of his own. This discovery further convinced
him to share his experience. The area where Rich K's sighting
occurred is 2 miles South of report number 24952 and is
immediately adjacent to several 1000 acres of forested river
bottom and swampland managed by the USGS Patonxa Wildlife
Research Center. This region includes a former
Fort Meade training ranges and is drained by the Poxitent River
watershed. Very cool and this is about BFRO

Formerly a linguistic analyst, he applies his knowledge to the

Tennessee, Pennsylvania, Ohio, West Virginia and then again in
West Virginia in 2013 very cool very cool sighting this sighting
happened back in may of 2008 says birdwatcher experiences
unusual activity while hiking in the Oxbow lake nature preserve
the county is. Anne Arundel County location
details Oxbow lake nature preserve nearest town Laurel, MD
nearest Rd. Oxbow lane.
I am a 44 year old woman submitting this report on behalf
of my husband and grown son. As an avid birder bird watching
enthusiast, I was taking an early morning walk around Oxbow
Lake at approximately 6:45 AM to observe birds.
Almost as soon as I began the short trail around the lake, I
noticed there was no wildlife activity.
No birds, no deer, no squirrels, nothing.
This struck me as very odd because it was a beautiful
spring morning with clear skies and no wind.
Even more unusual, I couldn't hear any birds singing, which is
extremely rare because this area is typically full of bird
activity in the early morning. I also noticed that frogs and
peepers were silent. It was completely still when I
reached the part of the trail where I usually see deer.
There were no sign of them. It was around this area that it
began to smell a terrible odor, a strong musky scent that I had
never encountered before. It wasn't like a dog or skunk,
but a distinct and heavy musky odor.
I've spent a lot of time in the woods, yet this smell was
unfamiliar. While I stood quietly trying to
determine the source of the odor, a live tree approximately
30 to 40 feet tall suddenly fell about 150 feet away.
There wasn't even a breeze that day.
Having spent my childhood in the deep woods of the Adriatic
Mountains, I knew this defied what I understood about natural
occurrences. I tried to rationalize it, but
nothing made sense. At that moment, I felt in a
tense sensation that I was being watched more like stared at, and
I couldn't shake the feeling that the tree may have been
pushed as a warning. I decided to start making my way
back to my car. Still, I didn't hear or see any
wildlife on the way back. Just before returning to my car,
I stopped at an overlook and suddenly heard a loud howling
from the opposite side of the lake.
The house echoed through the marsh area.
After three or four deep loud howls, everything fell silent
again. I returned to my car and drove
home. That's would be pretty troubling
actually, I think. Also noticed nothing.
No other witnesses, no other stories.
Time and conditions. Early morning 7:00 to 7:30 AM.
Beautiful warm sunny day with clear skies.
Environment, forest, lake and swamp habitat.
Follow up investigation report by BFO investigator DA Brake
PHDA phone interview was conducted with the witness who
provided additional details. Access to the 70 acre Oxbow Lake
Preserve is through a residential community and the
site is popular with local birders.
No other cars were observed in the roadside parking area before
or after the incident. The witness spent approximately
30 to 45 minutes in the preserve and did not encounter any other
visitors. The small lake is U-shaped with
the single point of access to the trail, which ends about
halfway around the lake. The witness had walked
approximately 10 minutes on the trail when she heard the tree
fall. Upon turning around, she
observed the top of the tree hitting the ground.
The tree was alive as indicated by its green leaves.
The estimated 30 to 40 foot height was based on the size of
the surrounding trees. The tree fell in a densely
wooded area and no movement was seen near it.
The witness continued walking about 200 yards further along
the trail, which rises above the lake.
She then remained quiet and stationary for about 10 to 15
minutes while observing the lake for waterfowl.
Feeling as though she was being watched, the witness turned back
down the trail briefly stopping at the location where she had
seen and heard the tree fall. No strong odor was detected.
On her return trip through that area.
She continued back down the trail and stopped at a clearing
overlooking the lake. She described the house as
primate like, with the first two house occurring close together,
followed by a five to 10 second pause and then one or two
additional house. The witness has returned to the
preserve several times since the incident at various times of
day, but it's not seen or heard anything unusual since.
Oxbow Lake Preserve is located in the far northwestern part of
Anne Arundel County, and it's part of the Little Patuxent
River watershed, which feeds the larger Patuxent River watershed.
Located in Montgomery County a few miles to the northwest.
The preserve is home to abundant bird and waterfowl species,
including red tail Hawks, Canadian geese, blue winged
teal, great blue herons and great egrets.
The incident occurred approximately 8 miles from
report number 5297. Despite being a relatively
developed area, a large tract of undeveloped land connects these
two regions. That's what we hear a lot of
times with these things, kind of have these, you know, natural
connective habitats between between towns or suburbs or
settlements or whatever. These things seem to be OK with
living in close proximity to people, except for this one.
Seems like it got a little bit upset she was out there, maybe
into his territory a little too far.
This sighting happened October 7th, 2001, says submitted by
witness Ron B on Thursday October 18th, 2001.
BFRO researcher has sighting in Severn Run State Park.
This happened in Anne Arundel County also.
Location details Severn Run State Park The area is currently
under observation by the BFRO. The exact location will be
revealed at a later date. Thank you for your
understanding. Nearest town Odenton observed on
October 7th, 2001 at approximately 6:30 PM in Severn
Run State Park. While investigating a previous
sighting in the area, I spotted an animal that had frozen in
place, likely after hearing my car door shut.
The animal was approximately 150 yards from me, firstly obscured
by fog rising over a stream between us caused by a sudden
temperature drop. I parked alongside the road and
was standing behind my car looking into the woods when I
noticed the animal standing in the undergrowth.
The growth was about 5 feet tall and the animal stood
approximately 3 feet above that slightly bent over.
Severn Run State Park is home to a state stocked trout stream
that flows from the Odenton area to the Severn River near
Annapolis, the state capital and home of the US Naval Academy.
The woods in this location consist of mature trees with
minimal middle growth vegetation, allowing good
visibility through the undergrowth, which mainly
includes Greenbrier and small trees about 5 feet tall.
The animal was traveling toward Odenton and facing to the right.
Its head was lowered slightly, looking in my direction.
Its posture allowed me to see my to see one arm, its back and
part of its face. The animal was light tan and
collar and stood approximately 8 to 9 feet tall.
It had prominent eyebrow ridges that cast shadows over its eyes
which I couldn't see. A large jaw, a roundish face,
massive shoulder muscles and huge biceps.
The animal's head hair was long, extending down to about the
bottom of its shoulder blades. No hair hungover its face.
The body hair appeared short and tight to the skin, not shaggy or
matted. Its coloration was consistent
across his body and head. I yelled hey clap my hands and
whistled. The animal remained motionless.
After approximately 15 minutes, I left the area.
It was too dark for my low quality camera to capture any
useful pictures. The exact location is currently
under observation by the BFRO and will be revealed at a later
date. Thank you for your
understanding. Then it says also notice during
later research in this area I found a few interesting signs.
Deep old trails leading up the raised abandoned railroad bed
and several smaller trails in the vicinity.
A farmer in the area raises game Roosters, possibly providing a
food source. Other witnesses, just myself, a
few cars pass by and I'm sure I got some odd looks but no one
else appeared to see the animal. Other stories This area has a
history of activity. I recall a friend from high
school who lived near the park mentioning that Bigfoot like
creatures frequently use the stream as a corridor, saying
they walk through there all the time.
I was investigating a recent report of an animal seen
crossing the road at this location.
That animal was described as black in color.
Time and conditions are approximately 6:30 PM twilight
during a drastic temperature drop that caused fog to rise
from the stream environment. Stream bottom lands drop roughly
20 feet from farmland into the stream area.
The site features mature trees, minimal middle growth
vegetation, small trees, shookberry berries and
Greenbrier. The trout stream is stay stocked
in abandoned railroad bed is also nearby.
And then follow up investigation from Ron B.
If anyone has information or has experienced sightings it says in
this area please contact me. Get the e-mail.
This visit was unplanned. I was visiting a relative in the
area. Decided to check out the
location on a whim. Unfortunately I didn't have any
quality equipment with me at the time.
Isn't that cool? OK, I'll take a look at this
next one. This sighting was submitted
January 6th, 2002, but it says it occurred either in 1981 or 82
in November. Happened in Anne Arundel County,
Maryland location details Near Severn Run, go up Hwy. 3 O1, now
Hwy. 97 about one mile toward the Anne Arundel Police
Department. Turn right on Old Benfield Road
and go on one mile as you start heading uphill just before the
Ben Oaks subdivision, there's a small stream at the bottom of
the hill. Nearest town Severna Park,
nearest Rd. Old Benfield Rd.
I was raised in Maryland and moved to South Carolina in 1984.
I remember an event in 1981 or maybe 1982.
I can't be sure of the year, but I do recall the time of year.
It was late fall around 4:00 to 5:00 PMI grew up in a
subdivision called Ben Oaks on the Severn.
There's a stream that runs by Shipley's Choice in Ben Oaks
across the road. At that time, Shipley's Choice
was a new subdivision where homes were being built.
The stream was at the bottom below 2 hills.
I recall playing around the stream and following it back to
Ben Oaks. I was alone and remember feeling
like I was being watched. I looked up the hill toward the
new subdivision about 250 feet away and saw a figure, possibly
a Bigfoot, standing 7 to 8 feet tall.
I didn't know what it was at first.
It was dark brown and large. I didn't have time to think.
I was 13 years old and just ran. Like heck, I just did there
watching. I put the pieces together later
but never told anyone. I didn't think anyone would
believe me so I kept it to myself.
I can imagine a 13 year old kid. I never returned to the location
and says that the witness is just to be.
No, I have never had any other incidents like that the whole
time I lived in Maryland. Very cool.
And then follow up investigation Ron B.
The witness further stated that the sun was behind the animal,
making it difficult to make out details.
Additionally, because the witness was running away, he
didn't look back to see what the animal was doing.
The witness also noticed that the animal was swaying slightly
from side to side. Hair was dark brownish, medium
length and not shaggy or stringy.
This behavior of kind of swinging back and forth side to
side, this is something I've heard before and I don't know if
that's just them observing people or some kind of a a
warning posture, just what that is, but that is something I've
heard of before. This one was cemented September
11th, 2003. Says it happened in November of
1993. Eight-year old has nighttime
encounter at grandparents home near Woodstock location is
Baltimore County it says nearest town Woodstock 2 miles, Woodland
4 miles Baltimore 7 miles nearest road right Mills Rd.
I was a frequent visitor to my grandparents home since I was
born in 1985. When I was eight, I was walking
down to the baseball diamond one night when I heard a stirring in
the woods. Thinking it might be a hunter, I
was unaware of hunting season at the time, I turned around to
head toward the wooded hillside along the driveway to greet the
hunter or warn him off the property.
My grandfather allowed certain people to hunt deer when in
season, so I figured it it was a possibility.
However, instead of seeing a person with reflective gear, I
saw a large, tall, shadowy figure with odd eyes.
Its eyes glowed red, probably from reflection or something.
The figure slowly backed away and headed up the hillside.
Scared, I ran back to my grandparents home and told my
family I had seen something. They told me it was a fox, but I
knew from what I saw that was impossible.
They all laughed it off. On the way back down the
driveway my family stopped because someone had dropped
something in the car. While we were temporarily
stopped, I looked curiously out the window toward the hillside.
Once again I could make out the shadowy figure and glowing eyes.
I was eight at the time, but I was rather intelligent for a
kid. I knew what a deer looked like
and I knew what a fox looked like.
Since that night in 1993, I've heard sounds and reports of
similar activity. I've also noticed occasional
long shallowy figures and glowing eyes, but from a safer
distance, usually from my car and long after I started to get
used to these things. Wow that's weird.
Also notice I've heard odd sounds out there and seeing the
same basic figure in eyes every now and then, but I am reassured
it's just one of the wild animals in the area and it's
almost sounds paranormal. You know the witnesses, other
stories. According to the Maryland
Bigfoot Digest, several dozen reports were made around what
was Daniels, Ellicott City, Granite City, Woodstock,
Skiesville, and the Padapisco State Park.
My family informed me that such sightings were common around
here along with black bears. Between 1967 and 1974, during
significant development along the Padapisco, my grandparents
and several lifelong family members recalled dozens of
sightings. 1 friend of my grandfather reported his
encounter but was laughed at so badly that he refused to report
it officially. Bigfoot is not viewed as a
menace for beast by many locals who claimed to have seen it.
Most of those frightened by these encounters were former
city residents who haven't adapted to rural life.
Supposedly, sightings of these creatures date back to before
the establishment of towns like Sykesville.
This is time and condition night time.
I believe it was clear night around 8:00 to 9:00 PM.
Environment. The area along the driveways
lined with pine trees. Up the steep hill on the right,
there were various trees and vegetation.
There were also junk cars at the bottom of the hill and driveway.
At the top of the hill on the right side of the driveway,
there was Shifflett Brothers Auto Parts or something like
that. The whole property borders
Patapasco State Park, which is immediately West of the
property. And it says after I'm speaking
with a witness, the best estimate of the distance to the
figure was about 30 to 80 feet. He described the train where he
saw the figure as uneven and steep.
The witness believed that the that only a bipedal animal could
have stood in that spot for as long as it was seen.
He also described the figure as shifting, not standing
motionless where they had that shifting again.
Before the sighting, the witness had heard low tones in the area,
which he described as sounding like something trying to
communicate but unable to form words.
He believed the sounds were related to the figure he saw.
The witness has heard the same sounds on other occasions while
visiting his grandparents property at night.
The witness reported that he has not noticed similar activity in
the area for the past six or seven years and feels that
whatever he saw is no longer in the area.
Wow, that is a cool one. This sighting happened May 17th,
2001. Baltimore County, Maryland
Location details. I believe I described it well
enough in the beginning. I just don't want to be
ridiculed about this. It says observed on or about May
17th, 2001. My boyfriend and I were fishing
at Liberty Watershed in Baltimore County.
It was early in the morning. We arrived at 8:00 AM.
We parked at Blank Road and walked down to the water, which
took about 10 minutes as he was preparing to fish.
I'm not really into fishing. I was looking around and I
noticed the fish were jumping, so there was a good bit of
slicing in the water. However, I also heard what
sounded like someone running through the water in a shallow
area. I asked him what it was but he
didn't know and we assumed it was just a fish.
Then around 10 AMI saw something moving in the swampy area, the
same area where the waiting sounds had been coming from.
In a split second I saw what appeared to be a large man with
dreadlock with dreadlock like hair.
I called for my boyfriend, but the man was already disappearing
into the woods. My boyfriend did see the
branches moving though. I asked him what that was but he
couldn't tell. I'm not exactly sure what I saw,
but after looking at pictures of Bigfoot, I wholeheartedly
believe that's what I witnessed. Oh man, sounds of running.
It says no ducks for president. Other witnesses just me and my
boyfriend. Time and conditions.
Morning sunny, bright cool environment.
Watershed with deep water ending in a swampy area.
Trees surrounded the area and the swamp itself was filled with
reeds and grasses. Follow up investigation by Ron
B. The witness further described
the animal instance stating big dark hair, wide shoulders,
walking in the water away from me.
The Rasta type hair could have been matted, shedding hair,
seasonal shed. This area is currently under
further investigation. BFRO members wishing to
investigate this area, please feel free to contact me.
Very neat. We'll go ahead and we'll do
three more of these. This one was reported August
30th, 2000 and occurred May 9th, 1981.
Man witnesses confrontation between Bigfoot and stray dog
near Skilesville. Location details at Carroll
County Maryland nearest town Scalesville, Skilesville,
Maryland at Carroll County nearest Rd.
River Road and Route 32 observed in 1981.
I was on the South branch of the Patapsco River approximately 1
mile downstream from Route 32. This section of the river
flattens out into riffles then empties into a larger pool.
I have fished this part of the river since I moved to Maryland
from Pennsylvania in 1976. I was fishing on the north Bank
of the river and noticed a large stray mixed breed dog showing a
lot of interest on the South Bank.
This area has about 100 foot open space before it becomes
wooded. The dog suddenly started barking
and lunged at something that stood up in the brush near the
river. The animal, best described as
resembling a slouching human figure covered in dark brown
matted hair, stood approximately 7 to 8 feet tall.
The creature was making a ticking sound, hard to describe.
The dog lunged at the creature but was quickly slammed to the
ground. By this time I was waiting
across a shallow area of the river and caught a scent of the
animal, a heavy Musk smell similar to that of a fox.
The dog ran away and the creature started to walk into
the woods. I tried to follow but I was in
waiters and quickly lost sight of the creature.
I saw the dog a bit later, it had blood on his mouth and his
backside. I drove to a phone in
Scalesville, called the police. I was told to return to the
scene and wait. Took me about 3 minutes to get
back and the state police cruiser was already there.
I was immediately told to leave the area.
I returned an hour later and noticed several state vehicles,
one federal vehicle, and additional police.
The area was taped off and I saw people combing the scene.
I was told once again to leave. I spent several days trying to
get answers from state officials but never received any
information. I called WJZWBAL&WMAR about the
incident and each seemed very interested.
However, when I followed up later I was told they had no
idea about the event and refused to discuss it.
That's about it. I was very frustrated by this.
I have reported this incident to only a few sources over the
years. If you have any information I
would appreciate it. And the guy signs his name.
Also noticed I was told at the scene by a police officer that
hair and other evidence was found.
Other witnesses myself, other stories.
In 1976 a well documented Bigfoot encounter occurred in
Scalesville involving property damage.
This was told to me after my experience.
The witness to this incident has since passed away.
That time and conditions says sunny around at 11:00 AM and
then goes on down. Says follow up investigation by
Ron B. This area has a history of
incidents not far from where South Branch meets the Petipsco
River just South of Liberty Reservoir.
The witness stated that the dog suffered a massive cut to the
neck area, but it is unknown if the dog was recovered for
treatment. The dog's status remains
unknown. The black unmarked vehicles
owning agency is also unknown. Possibly federal or MSPI.
Contacted both Maryland State Police and Scoutsville PDI was
unable to verify the police responses.
They informed me they do not keep non criminal records from
that far back. The witness also recalled some
bones described as very large human rib cage, some leg and arm
bones being recovered from an area downstream near the
riverbank. These were turned over to the
corner, status unknown. If anyone has further
information that says please contact us.
Wow that's wild man. Especially the part about these
bones being recovered. I have a feeling, you know, if
something like that ever did happen, there would be a team of
guys would just come in and take those away.
We'd never hear about them again.
Just just me being paranoid I guess.
This one was submitted Friday, January 6th, 2012.
Says it actually happened September 15th, 1993.
Memories told of several incidents including an
observation through a rifle scope while target practicing
outside St. Happened in Harford County,
Maryland. Location details Route 543 right
off Taylor Rd. nearest town St. Maryland, nearest Rd.
Taylor Rd. and Route 543 observed.
This is the first time I've ever come forward in writing about
these incidents, which took place approximately 1819 years
ago. Of course, this was reported 13
years ago. Myself, my uncle and a few
hunting buddies frequent in a 68 acre parcel of land in Street,
MD. One day we were conducting
target practice citing our guns for the upcoming hunting season.
It was a warm sunny day when one of us noticed movement in a
wooded area across Broad Creek. We observed a large dark
silhouette walking back and forth in the foliage.
Each time it moved, it would stop and grab hold of a large
tree and begin shaking it. Keep in mind this was a calm,
warm day with no wind and no other trees moving.
This behavior seemed very unusual and it must have taken
an enormous amount of strength to shake a tree of that size.
I peered through my 4 by rifle scope to examine the figure more
closely. I observed it walking upright,
covered in dark brown hair. I only interject here.
He says he pointed the rifle scope to look at it.
OK, well and if he pointed the rifle scope, I'm assuming they
pointed the rifle. I got to tell you in the
interest of gun safety, as my as my dad always told me, never
point your gun at something you don't intend to shoot.
Anyway, his head was large and I could only see the upper half of
its body when it turned. I noticed his arm appeared
longer and muscular and it's back had a definite had a
distinct V shape which convinced me this was nowhere.
It seemed agitated by our presence.
After about 15 to 20 minutes of watching, we decided to leave
and never spoke of the incident again.
I guess additional incident in October that same year, just
after a dusk. My uncle was walking from the
Dirt Rd. area through a grassy path down a hill to the barn.
I heard him yell call out to me. I ran toward him, thinking he
had fallen. I found him on the ground with
his tools scattered around him. I smelled a horrible pungent
odor and heard heavy breathing and large footsteps coming from
the nearby wooded area. It was dark and I couldn't see
anything, but I had an eerie feeling of being watched.
I held my uncle to his feet and he told me that as he was
walking down the grassy trail, he heard long, loud footsteps
approaching from behind. Thinking it was one of us
playing a prank, he braced himself for someone to jump on
his back. Instead, whatever hit him from
behind struck him with such force that he fell forward to
the ground. Dropping his toolbox, he said
whatever hit him ran into the woods, running and walking back
and forth. We grabbed flashlights and
attempted to investigate the wooded area.
Although we saw nothing, we distinctly heard heavy bipedal
footprints moving down the hill and crossing the Creek at the
bottom. I am a trained observer that can
only report what I saw. Man that's pretty crazy isn't
it? Other witnesses.
Three to four witnesses it says. Second incident, 2 witnesses.
Other stories I heard their property owners at the time was
chased through the woods by something that frightened him,
it says. Environment area Wooded area
with steep hills. Follow up investigation After
contacting the witness, additional details were
provided. At the time of the sighting, the
witness was a young man. Today he's a police officer.
The creature was approximately 100 yards away and stood
upright, but it's full height was difficult to gauge as only
the upper half of its body was visible through the brush.
The witness estimates the upper body alone was 4 to 5 feet tall.
The creature's strength was incredible.
It effortlessly shook a thick tree about 40 to 50 feet tall
through his rifle scope. The creature's muscles were
clearly visible through its dark hair. the V shaped back
convinced the witness this was not a bear, but something close
to a human in form. The property owner's wife once
reported that something furiously shook their trailer
while she was alone. This occurred during daylight
hours, but she could not see what caused it.
While deer hunting on the property, the uncle heard loud
bipedal footsteps stop 30 yards away, followed by tree shaking
and loud grunts. He walked away but realized he
was being followed. As he began to jog, the
footsteps speed up. He ultimately sprinted across
the Creek toward the barn and the footsteps stopped when he
reached safety. On another occasion, while with
his girlfriend at a bridge downstream from the farm, the
uncle witnessed a 30 foot tree on the opposite shore.
Being violently shaken, he quickly left the area.
While bow hunting on the property, the uncle experienced
repeated acorn strikes from an unknown source.
Each strike was spaced about 10 minutes apart and remarkably
accurate. The uncle was hit in the upper
right quadrant of his body, but what felt like a large, muscular
arm. The impact was powerful but
distributed as it struck as if struck by a forearm rather than
a fist or object. The force spun him around and
knocked him to the ground, scattering his tools.
He immediately assumed one of his friends had played a prank,
but all three friends were still up by the car and had seen
nothing. That sounds pretty aggressive to
me. Then it says additional
observations following these encounters of witness, his uncle
and the landowner occasionally noticed a strong odor on the
wind, indicating the creature was nearby.
The incidents occurred annually during September, October, and
November, suggesting the creature may have followed a
seasonal migration pattern. The landowner later reported
seeing the creature himself in the years following these
events. Wow, very cool stuff.
OK, we'll do one more here. This last report that we're
looking at was submitted on August 30th, 2000.
Actual encounter happened July 15th, 1970.
Washington County, Maryland location details The area is
about 6 miles West of Hagerstown, MD in Washington
County. If you take I-70 W from
Hagerstown and exit at Route 63, travel N on Route 63 to US Route
40, then head W until you reach Cedar Ridge Rd. which will be on
your left. Follow Cedar Ridge Rd. for about
a mile, then turn left on Kemp's Mill Rd.
The wooded area is on your right.
Nearest town Williamsport. Nearest Rd.
Kemps Mill Rd. Observed in the summer of 1970 I
was taking my pony and dog for a walk and the thickly wooded area
behind my parents newly built home.
At the time the area was very isolated.
We had disturbed the local wildlife before, often spotting
large black snakes and other animals near the house.
However, I was not prepared for the creature I encountered that
day. I looked up toward the thickly
wooded hill and saw a huge creature that resembled either a
gorilla or a bear. It was dark in color and
appeared to be covered in hair. It stood on the other side of an
old fence from me. I was very frightened and
immediately fled the area. I wish I could describe the
creature better, but I don't believe it was a bear.
Bears are not typically seen in our area, and this creature was
extremely large, which startled me.
Although I was accustomed to living in the country and
encountering wildlife, the sighting shook me.
One detail what amazes me to this day is that my dog and pony
had no reaction to the creature. This makes me wonder if they had
become accustomed to it visiting the area when we weren't
outside. I never saw the creature again,
but a couple of years later, my mother witnessed something from
her kitchen window that resembled a bear.
However, she wasn't sure if she wasn't close enough to see its
features clearly. The creature was in all fours,
entered a nearby stream and walked around the bend out of
sight. The area where we had these
sightings was in Washington County, Maryland.
We lived near a stream that feeds into the Conoco Chig Creek
which eventually flows into the Potomac River a few miles from
our home. My parents have lived in this
area for 30 years now and and there have been no additional
sightings of creatures like the one we observed in the early
1970s. However, we were the first to
significantly disturb that wooded area and the region is
now much more developed since I was the only witness.
I was 14 years old at the time and walking in my pony and dog
time and conditions. It was cloudy and very warm
environment. This area is densely wooded with
a stream that flows through it. The stream feeds into the
Conocoche River Creek about two miles from the sitting location.
The area is very hilly but not mountainous, though mountain
though mountains are located about 10 miles West near Clear
Spring, MD. 1 notable feature of this area is a dividing line
between limestone and shell ground which runs through our
property and is approximately 150 feet from the sitting
location. The shell ground is covered with
cedar trees, while the limestone ground is predominantly covered
with oak and Sycamore trees. Along the Cedar Ridge Rd. there
are many large limestone formations visible in the fields
along with numerous sinkholes. There have been stories
suggesting that these sinkholes are located above caves that run
through the Potomac River. Back under this region.
The Potomac River is nearby and the Konochi Creek flows into the
Potomac at Williamsport, MD, about four miles from the
siding. Cool follow up investigation by
Ron B. The witness stated that the
animal was approximately 8 feet tall, standing erect on two legs
and about 50 feet away. The witness could not recall any
facial details, and she was shocked and surprised by the
encounter. That's really cool.
Lots of neat sightings out of Maryland there.
Very neat stuff. I just love these Bigfoot
sightings. Until next time, this is UFO
warning over and out.
