In the May 26, 2014 edition of Phantoms & Monsters, I posted the following information:
Is There A Bigfoot Conspiracy?
Over the past several months and since my appearance on 'Monsters and Mysteries in America' was first aired, I've received many inquiries concerning my encounter on May 9, 1981 near Sykesville, MD. To be honest, I've had a few lingering questions about my sighting as well...in particular, 'what did I actually see?' Was it a Bigfoot...or something else? At the time, I called it a 'Bigfoot' because, frankly, that was the only way I could have described it. It wasn't human...it wasn't an ape. I have tried to comprehend exactly what it was I witnessed.
One of the more consistent questions I have received concerns the quick reaction by officials after my phone call to local police. I feel that this being had been under close surveillance at the time I witnessed it. The only two scenarios that I feel may be plausible are either: 1) there were other witnesses that made reports earlier that day or, 2) this being had escaped from an unknown location.
The Sykesville Police Dept. have no records of what happened that day. No phone logs...no reports. In fact, the local police have no records of the '1973 Sykesville Monster' incidents either. I have made FOIA inquiries to all agencies who I feel where involved. No information has ever been forwarded to me.
This past Friday (May 23rd) I received a phone call from an investigator who lives in Maryland. We setup an interview for that evening.
The first question to me was, 'have I ever heard of a location in the Sykesville area referred to as 'the monkey house?' Apparently, one of the witnesses from 1973 had made a comment at the time that 'it (the Sykesville Monster) was probably from the monkey house.' None of the witnesses I talked to in 1981, after my encounter, ever mentioned 'the monkey house.'
I made a few inquiries during the past few days in reference to 'the monkey house.' According to one source, the original witness may have been referring to a two-story building that once stood near the present-day police & correctional training facility on Slacks Rd., which was located just south of the former sprawling Springfield Hospital Center. This building was officially designated as a laundry facility used by the state hospital. I recall the building and from what I remembered, it had significant security around it. I was told, at the time, that correctional inmates were kept there to launder clothing and linens as part of a work detail. Many locals questioned this explanation...it just didn't seem right. The moniker 'monkey house' may have been used, for the most part, by people who worked at Springfield. The building was eventually razed and replaced by a residential community.
The investigator stated that he was ex-USAF and had worked at a government facility north of Baltimore in Harford County in the early 1980's. I'm not going to named the location at this time, but it does still exist. He was part of a group of ex-military who were employed to perform general work around the facility. On one particularly hot & humid day, he and the crew were working outside of a specific building at this government facility. They had been told that they could walk inside the building if they needed a quick break & a drink of water. He states that he entered the building looking for a water fountain, but couldn't locate one. He walked deeper into the building and soon witnessed a 'large heavy reinforced door' that seemed out of place. The door had been damaged, as if it were rammed by something of significant size and power. By this time, he was approached by a woman in uniform who informed him that he was in a classified area and that he must leave immediately. He explained he was just looking for the water fountain. A security officer was now on the scene and he directed the witness to the water fountain. As they were heading toward the building exit, the witness inquired about the damaged door. The security officer only mentioned that the 'door was damaged by something confined behind it.'
After several years of scrutiny and questions, the investigator believes that the building was used for research and contained unknown bi-pedal beings that had somehow escaped between 1979-1984. He had received information that 20-34 individuals of both sexes had been in the building at some period. He also mentioned that during this period of time that there had been many Bigfoot sightings at Rocks State Park and Gunpowder Falls State Park...which are located near the government facility.
I had been aware of Bigfoot sightings in these locations over the years, but I don't know if these sightings are related to the aforementioned escapes. Of course, this information is completely anecdotal and based on one witness' account.
So, let's be hypothetical for a second. Is it possible that the being I witnessed near Sykesville, MD in 1981 was an escaped 'experiment?' Was there a facility in the Sykesville area, known to some as the 'monkey house'? Was there another incident, or series of incidents, at another facility in Maryland during the same time period?
I'd appreciate some feedback and/or information. Lon
Since the time of that post I have talked to several people who where aware or part of various government biological experiments. One facility that continued to come up in conversations was the Edgewood Arsenal in Harford County, Maryland...the same facility mentioned by the investigator from my May 2014 report.
A 1994 documentary titled 'Bad Trip to Edgewood' can be viewed here and starts by showing clips of animals being cruelly tested in the Edgewood laboratory with the voice over stating that animals were always tested before humans. The clips are highly disturbing. But then the documentary states that such experiments were not confined to animals.
The 'Medical Research Volunteer Program' was conducted at the facility between 1948 and 1975. The aim of the experiments was to analyze the impact of chemical warfare agents on military personnel to test the likes of vaccines, pharmaceuticals and protective clothing. It is now known that 7,000 soldiers and 1000 civilians were used as guinea pigs, half of which were tested with so-called 'psycho chemicals' and mind altering drugs. The 'medical volunteers' were never told what the chemicals were and when they asked what the drugs were they were told to 'not ask questions.'
But what is the actual extent of experimentation taking place at Edgewood and other facilities throughout the county? The location in Edgewood was later designated as the U.S. Army Medical Research Institute of Chemical Defense (USAMRICD) — at the Edgewood Area, Aberdeen Proving Ground, Maryland. It is also known as the U.S. Army Research Development and Engineering Command - Edgewood Chemical Biological Center.
Soviet dictator Josef Stalin ordered the creation of ultra hominid warriors by crossing humans with apes, according to secret documents uncovered in 2005. In the mid-1920s Russia’s top animal breeding scientist, Ilya Ivanov, was ordered to turn his skills from horse and animal work to the quest for a super-warrior. According to Moscow newspapers, Stalin told the scientist: “I want a new invincible human being, insensitive to pain, resistant and indifferent about the quality of food they eat.” The project failed because the technology was not available.
Is it possible that the United States government embarked on a project remotely paralleling the Soviets?
Again, the investigator I interviewed stated:
"...the building was used for research and contained unknown bi-pedal beings that had somehow escaped between 1979-1984. He had received information that 20-34 individuals of both sexes had been in the building at some period. He also mentioned that during this period of time that there had been many Bigfoot sightings at Rocks State Park and Gunpowder Falls State Park...which are located near the government facility."
I will state now that this investigator was once employed by the Air Force Office of Special Investigations (AFOSI) and continued as a private investigator after retiring from the military. As to his other resources, he did not disclose them to me.
There have been many hairy hominid sightings in Harford & Baltimore counties (Maryland)...north into Pennsylvania, west of the Susquehanna River, over the past 35 years. Not unlike my sighting near Sykesville, most of the descriptions were of human-like faces. In fact, many of the east coast hairy hominids share that distinction, as opposed to descriptions of ape-like features further west.
This all begs for another familiar question. Why haven't any of these beings ever been caught or found dead?
If bio-engineering is part of the development of these beings, who is to say that reverse engineered extraterrestrial technology has never been incorporated in the formulation of this or any other life-form? Could certain technology give these beings the ability to cloak or be multi-verse travelers? Who is to say that other unknown beings and/or bi-pedal cryptids can't possess similar traits? This may be a big drop into the rabbit-hole, but I will never discount man's willingness to venture ever closer to the creator.
