Possible nighttime sighting through a living room window near Potomac

The witness was inside the house at night after turning off the television when moonlight coming through the living room window was blocked. The witness looked up and saw a dark figure standing outside looking in for about three seconds before it moved away and moonlight returned. The witness first thought it was a human intruder and only the next morning, after considering the window height and slope, wondered about a very tall unknown figure.

Fishermen have vocal encounter on river island

Two companions were fishing a branch of the river in the morning when they heard a sound like a dying deer and noticed a very strong odor. They then heard movement and footsteps on a nearby island but could not see the source over the terrain. One companion briefly reported seeing something he first thought was a bear and then suggested could be a bigfoot, after which the pair left the area.

Memory told of a possible late night sighting while driving near Hurlock

The witness was driving with a companion on a rural road between pine forests in the early morning when headlights caught bright eyes in the woods. A very large, gray-brown shaggy animal then crossed the road in front of the vehicle at high speed in a hunched, primate-like run. Both occupants were startled and said they did not know what the animal was.

Man sees ape-like animal in back yard

The owner heard noises by his fenced trash area late at night and went to look with a rifle. He saw an ape-like animal outside the fence, fired into the air, and watched it stand up with its shoulders and head above the 6-foot fence before fleeing through bushes toward the woods. Footprints were left only in soft dirt by the bushes and one was preserved as a plaster cast.

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.
