Eyewitness Discusses MARYLAND CRYPTIDS - DOGMAN (DWAYYO) & BIGFOOT

A Maryland resident discusses the cryptid & unexplained sightings & encounters that his friend and others have experienced in various locations throughout the state.

"I have one that a friend shared with me and a few encounters I have heard about in my area. I also have had some weird things that have happened to me in the woods over the last few years. My name is Will. No one should feel the shame for experiencing something strange in the woods.

I have a Dogman story. One of my good friends shared with me. Our friend grew up here in Maryland with me and I've known her since high school. She lives out of state now but when she visits we always exchange hiking stories and things we see out in the woods. Her job involves her being out in the woods for days at a time, so she is very familiar with all the things out in nature.

One day we're talking about weird stuff we have seen and heard in the woods. She told me something that shocked me. Let me preface this by saying she knows I'm interested in the Bigfoot topic and that I have experienced weird things. So, she felt comfortable telling me what happened to her.

She told me while taking a trip to southern Maryland to visit a college campus with her mom there's a spot in the road that people apparently see the ghost of a Civil War soldier cross the road. As they're getting closer the spot she said that a giant black dog ran across the road and in front of the car on all fours. She told me the dog's back was five feet off the ground. She said it happened so fast that her mind didn't registered what had happened until they're further down the road. She asked her mom if she saw it too and she had no idea what she was talking about. If I'm not mistaken I think she got her mom to drive back to the spot where it crossed and she saw nothing.

The crazy part of the story is I have never mentioned to her that people see these Dogman cryptids. I completely trust her and believe her story. I showed her some pictures of Dogman I've seen seen on the internet and that artists have drawn. She immediately pointed to one that looked like a black German Shepherd.

There's a river I go hiking along that has some terrifying encounters with the creature that looks like a hyena with a lion's mane. I pray to God before I go hiking here that I do not run into this thing. I haven't had any gut feelings telling me to leave or anything like, therefore I still go out doing what I love.

Apparently, back in year 2003, men were wading in the river while fishing. One day they went around a bend and saw this hyena type Dogman in the river and it was drowning a deer. Then it apparently bluff charged the three men, then scooped up the deer with one arm and walked away into the woods on two legs.

Travel further south down this river someone else was apparently chased on their dirt bike by another hyena type Dogman and this happened only a few years ago. I wonder if it was the same one? It seems like if you follow this river north Bigfoot encounters happen near this wildlife refuge.

I recently heard of a sighting where one of these things grabs someone and the guy passed out from fear. This apparently happened just a few miles away from where I'm sitting right now in an upper middle class area that is highly populated and there aren't that many areas that have woods anymore because of more houses being built. I personally believe their stories. There's a lot of reports of these things in Maryland. If you're interested Google 'Dwayyo.' This is what they are called here."

NOTE: OK, there's a lot to unpack in this account. There are other references to the sightings later in their email, but I'll get to that later. I believe the reference to the Civil War soldier ghost is in the Point Lookout area, not far from several colleges in St. Mary's County in southern Maryland.

The river that this witness is referring to is the Patapsco River, which runs from the headwaters in western Carroll County and eventually flows into the Inner Harbor & Chesapeake Bay in Baltimore. The wildlife refuge referenced by the witness is the Hugg-Thomas Wildlife Management Area in Sykesville which, by the way, is very close to where I had my Bigfoot encounter in 1981.

The Dwayyo, or Maryland Dogman, has been reported throughout the central & western Maryland regions for over 150 years. You can read about it here. Anyway, as I look into this witness' accounts, I may add other posts. Lon
