Sykesville Monster: New Evidence of a Maryland Bigfoot?

In a recent video from The Castro Files, titled "The Sykesville Monster and The Wendigo," the hosts share some intriguing stories about mysterious creatures. The video starts off with a discussion about the Sykesville monster, a hairy humanoid reported to have been seen in Sykesville, Maryland since 1970. According to the video, the Sykesville monster is described as a seven to eight-foot-tall, dark brown humanoid with footprints measuring 13 inches long and seven inches wide. Sightings of the monster began in 1972, with a truck driver observing it sitting down before it ran into the woods. In 1981, a man named Lon Strickler reported seeing the creature while fishing in the Patapsco River. Strickler described it as a seven to eight-foot-tall hairy man that fought off a dog that had attacked it. The video also mentions that residents of Sykesville are suspicious of the police, who they believe covered up the incident. The theory is that the monster is an escaped patient from a nearby Springfield State Hospital. However, the hospital's superintendent at the time, Dr. Fred Pocous, stated that none of the patients had escaped. The Sykesville monster has become a part of the community's lore, and the town even has a festival celebrating the creature. The hosts of the video suggest that the Sykesville monster could be a missing link or a caveman. The second part of the video covers the legend of the Wendigo, a creature from Native American folklore that is said to inhabit the forests of the Great Lakes region. The Wendigo is described as a monster with glowing eyes, long claws, and an insatiable hunger for human flesh. Overall, the video is an interesting exploration of two mysterious creatures and the legends surrounding them. As a Bigfoot believer and a curator for Squatchable, I encourage our readers to check out the video and share their thoughts with us. Who knows, maybe one day we'll have our own sighting of the Sykesville monster or the Wendigo!
