Incident #992141
Welcome, Charles Cty, Maryland

Account
Patrolman Brent Hayes was driving down Rte 6 near Nanjemoy Creek at 3.30 a.m. when he saw a "huge thing" 6 to 7 feet tall and covered with tan hair partially walk out of the woods then turn and go back. He stopped, rolled down the window and smelled a horrible musty odour, and heard the creature run off. Next day he found a trail but no prints. For six weeks there had been complaints from residents about nocturnal screaming. Other patrolmen were reported to have seen the creature, but none would be interviewed.
