BFRO Researcher has sighting in Severn Run State Park

The witness parked alongside the road in Severn Run State Park at twilight and stood behind the car looking into the woods while researching an earlier report. Through fog over a stream, about 150 yards away, the witness saw a light-tan, 8- to 9-foot animal standing in undergrowth and looking toward them. The animal stayed frozen despite shouting, clapping and whistling, and after about 15 minutes the witness left without obtaining photos.

Hunched figure seen covered with hair

In mid-summer or early fall of 1978 or 1979, the witness and a friend were in the woods behind the witness's house when they saw a tall hair-covered hunched figure in reeds about 300 feet away. They watched it for about 20 seconds before it noticed them, stood up, and ran into the woods. The witness was struck by how fast it moved through marshy mud that caused the children to sink to their knees.
