Incident #992066
Chase, Baltimare Cty, Maryland
Nov 1975
Account
Three teenagers claimed to have seen the creature on three successive nights. They said that they got within 8 feet of it, that it was favoring one leg, and that once when they were following it through the woods it circled and followed them. They took pictures of it and its tracks (not described) but the film somehow got spoiled. Stover indicated there were other witnesses.
