Class B First-hand BFRO #12601

Bow hunter hears vocalizations, smells foul odor

September 2005 around 4pm Churchton, Anne Arundel County, Maryland 1 witness

Account

The witness was bowhunting alone from a deer blind in the afternoon when gibberish-like hollering approached from behind the blind and grew closer. He looked with field glasses but saw nothing, then smelled a strong foul odor and felt intense fear. He left the blind with an arrow nocked and hurried toward his truck, hearing loud vocalizations paralleling him from the woods. He reached his truck and drove away without ever seeing the source.
