Incident #992180
Dickerson, Montgomery Cty, Maryland
May 1990
Account
Peggy Nichols heard an unusual scream in the back yard of her home on Dickerson Road at 1 a.m. and woke her sister Carol. They opened the back porch door and saw a 7-foot, hairy creature moving through a corner of the yard 30 feet away. Screams had been heard for several weeks, blamed on wildcats, for which nearby Wildcat Creek was named. (But was it really wildcats screaming in the first place?)
