Incident #992100
Rocks, Harford Cty, Maryland
Feb 1978
Account
Bob Lazarra, plotting reports from southern Pennsylvania and northern Maryland, went looking for tracks in Rocks State Park, along a creek he thought the creature was following. He found nearly a mile and a half of tracks sinking 7 to 8 inches deep in frozen snow where a man sank 2 inches. The tracks had a five-foot stride over rough terrain. Police, park rangers, zoo personnel or the Smithsonian would not come and look. He took numerous good pictures.
