Boy's Encounter with Reddish-Brown Bigfoot in 1970s Maryland

A chilling tale of a possible Bigfoot encounter has emerged from the YouTube channel Dixie Cryptid. The video, titled "The Serial Killer was BIGFOOT," shares the story of a mother whose son had a close encounter with an unknown creature in the woods of rural Southern Maryland. The woman's son, Matthew, was just five or six years old at the time of the incident, around 1973 or 1974. While picking huckleberries in the woods, Matthew felt like he was being watched. He described the creature as a "hairy man" with reddish-brown hair all over its body, and it smelled so bad that it made him gag. The mother's initial concern was that a homeless person, or "bum" as they were called back then, was living in the woods. However, when she went to investigate the next day, she found large, bare footprints that were 18 inches long and 7 to 8 inches wide. The area also smelled like rotten meat, which they attributed to the remains of a dog they found nearby. The family never found the "hairy man," but several other children in the neighborhood backed up Matthew's description of the creature. The parents in the area stood watch over the kids when they played outside, and none of the children were allowed in the woods. The woman in the video shares this memory of her son with a mix of sadness and excitement. She notes that they had never heard of Bigfoot or Sasquatch at the time, so it wasn't something they would have made up. I encourage our readers to watch the video and form their own opinions on the matter. While we may never know for sure if it was Bigfoot, the story is certainly a fascinating addition to the world of cryptozoology. I find this story intriguing and exciting. The description of the creature and the footprints found match many other Bigfoot sightings. It's always thrilling to hear about new encounters and the possibility of Bigfoot's existence. So, if you're a fan of Bigfoot or just enjoy a good mystery, be sure to check out the Dixie Cryptid video on YouTube. And as always, keep an open mind and stay Squatchable!
