A Member Details the Maryland Expedition

Instead of doing a daily BFRO report we are going to change things up a bit. We are going to give one of our members first hand account of what he saw on the Maryland expedition in which the recent photos came from. So without further adieu here it is.

"We were pretty far into the woods at the time, we had been hiking for probably a little over an hour on the North side of the river. We were about 15 yards or so inland from the waters edge walking slow and i noticed that "we" had bounced a deer on the opposite side of the river around 80 yards from us. I just caught the tail taking off directly away from us through the thick perpendicular to the river. A split second after I saw the deer turn tail and I was still scanning the other bank I caught a glimpse of something through the branches and other growth of what looked like a pair of large dark bipedal legs walking towards where the deer took off from. I immediately signaled to the other member on the expedition to stop and take cover, and told him, there is someone over there! Hoping we could continue to observe from cover I tried to find the figure again but could not. I had only caught a quick glimpse of the large dark lower portion of a body walking in and out from behind various trees while the upper portion was obscured from view due to the vegetation. The area was quite shaded which also made identification difficult. Unfortunately the other member had not noticed the fleeing deer or the bipedal figure as i was in front. It all happened so fast and was over just as fast. We continued our expedition as planned, eventually crossing to the other side of the river to where I had seen the activity but we were unable to find any definitive evidence of the presence of another biped so it just gets chalked up to another fun story as it is hard to say 100% I saw what I saw, if that makes any sense but to this day I wonder if it was us that had bounced that deer or something else."

Interesting stuff, a class B sighting we would say. Class B sightings indicate that something was observed but it could have been a case of mistaken identity and the evidence is inconclusive. It could have been another person in the woods, or some other animal, but maybe not. The mud impressions and snapped branch could be a coincidence, but who could say for sure. Either way it's about being out in the woods, having a good time, searching for Squatch. We will have a similar PA expedition soon and hope to uncover more evidence. Stay tuned!
