Incident #992113
Spencerville, Montgomery Cty, Maryland
Sep 1978
Account
Kelley boy and friend were in back pasture of Carr farm where there is a trash dump in a gulley, a quarter mile from the Rocky Gorge Reservoir on the Patuxent River. He saw what he thought was a tree stump, then realized it was walking. The boys fled. No height mentioned, but previous telephone conversation presumably established that this was a sasquatch-size creature.
