Bow hunter hears vocalizations, smells foul odor

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.

Child sees large figure looking at him in window at night

When 10-11 years old, the witness awoke from heat at night and sat up in bed. Looking toward a nearby ground-floor bedroom window, the witness saw a very large hair-covered head looking in, with blinking eyes and visible teeth standing out against darkness. After about 10-15 seconds the witness became frightened, rolled off the bed and crawled to a bathroom where the mother later found him.

Annapolis resident sees 9-10ft shadowy figure in driveway at 1:30am

The witness's brother spent the night alone in a camper parked in the driveway. Around 1:30 a.m. he watched a shadow move across the curtained window and translucent roof, apparently cast by a neighbor's porch light, as something slowly circled the camper while lightly tapping its sides. The next morning the family found fingerprint smudges, a large handprint, and large toeprints in spilled sand.
