UPRIGHT CANINE Reported in Frederick County, Maryland Near Camp David

A Frederick County, Maryland man is driving south on RT 15 between Emmitsburg and Thurmont when he observes and encounters a 6-7 foot tall upright canine standing on the shoulder.

I recently received the following account:

"Hi, Lon. I was driving home from work on a misty night in October of 2019. I had just crossed the border from Pennsylvania into Maryland on Route 15 South. I was between Emmitsburg and Thurmont and listening to music on the radio, trying to stay awake and alert.

As I approached Little Owens Creek I saw something move in the corner of my eye. I slowed down and looked to my right toward the creek and trees. What I saw next took my breath away. I slammed on the brakes. There was a large creature standing on two legs by the side of the road, clear as day. It looked like a hybrid of a wolf and a man with dark fur and a long snout, pointed ears, and bright yellow eyes. It had muscular arms, legs, and long claws on its hands. I couldn't see the feet. It was 6-7 feet tall and it had a long tail that was wagging slowly. The upright creature stared at me as I skidded to a halt. It then let out a loud and terrifying howl that reverberated throughout my car and body. The sound was more stark than any horror film howl! it created a surge of fear and panic in me!


The beast took a step toward me and then another. The expression on its face was that of anger. I didn't know what to do. I was practically paralyzed by fear and I could only watch as the creature moved a few steps closer.

At that moment, bright lights from a vehicle behind flashed behind me, and then the sound of a horn blared. The driver slowly drove by me on the left. The creature also noticed the light and the horn. It turned its head to look at the other vehicle. I quickly stepped on the accelerator and I sped forward. I didn't stop for anything until I got home in Frederick.


When I walked in the house my wife could see that I was upset. I told her what I witnessed. She begged me not to tell anyone. I didn't have my cell in the car, by the way. But I doubt that I would have called the police.

It's been almost 4 years since my encounter. I have continuously looked for references to a similar creature. I found your Pennsylvania Dogman / Upright Canine Map online and then read a few of the reports. I then noticed that there have been several sightings over the years in Frederick County, Maryland.

I wish to remain anonymous." K

NOTE: There have been at least 7 historical sightings of a cryptid canine or Dwayyo in Frederick County, Maryland since the 1960s. I have interviewed a few of the witnesses over the years, including this report - Upright Canine Encounter (Dwayyo / Hexenwolf) in Frederick County, Maryland. There is other information provided at The Dwayyo: Maryland's Cryptid Canine.

This particular sighting/encounter was near Catoctin Mountain Park (U.S. National Park Service) and within 3 miles of Camp David, the presidential retreat. Lon

Welcome to Phantoms & Monsters 'Personal Reports' - cryptid & unexplained accounts directly from the archives of Phantoms & Monsters, and the Phantoms & Monster Fortean Research team. Narrated by Lon Strickler. Join us in the chat, discuss, and ask me questions about the accounts.

Featured in this edition:

Before I begin, I want to say that, for the most part, these are not 'happy' or 'feel good' experiencer reports. Each of these reports was fully investigated to the best of my ability. In fact, I have kept in contact with several of these and other experiencers for many years.

It is human nature to be fearful of the unknown. That being stated, many people know there is more to our existence than what we see on Earth. We seek answers to questions about a higher intelligence beyond the bounds of this planet. During these inquiries, we ask if the powers 'that be' have secret knowledge of non-terrestrial races and technology. Eventually, we wonder if official disclosure of the truth will ever be communicated to the populace. I doubt this will occur unless an overwhelming incident leaves the government with no other choice. Then I expect that we would be spoon-fed information in order to calm the masses.

Abduction and alien contact experiencer reports can quickly trigger skepticism in an investigator. The individual's demeanor usually consists of fear, confusion, and uncontrolled emotion. It’s essential to listen and avoid making instant judgments based on the first interaction. But sometimes you will receive a call in which you ‘know’ that something remarkable occurred in this person’s life, and that you are now about to become a part of their story.

In this episode, I will describe the reports and incidents in detail and answer all questions from the chat room.

This Friday night on Phantoms & Monsters Radio 9/15 - we celebrate our 18th year at Phantoms & Monsters by giving away books to a few folks who join us in the live chat. See you there!
