Cryptozoological accounts and sightings

[Laird]

This is a thread for accounts/reports of cryptozoological creatures, whether of the Bigfoot, Lochie, or some other variety, and whether yours personally or second- or even third-hand, and whether published or unpublished (let us know if you can confirm the authenticity of the account/report; otherwise it is assumed to be a case of "make of this what you will"). This thread follows on from the thread I created the other day: The 'Big Grey Man' on Ben MacDhui, which I would have put in this thread had it then existed.

If commentary posts become extensive, I might create a commentary thread and move them there.

That said, here's the first account, again from the Phantoms and Monsters blog:

Upright Canine Encounter (Dwayyo / Hexenwolf) in Frederick County, Maryland

In 1963, a boy has a frightening encounter with an upright canine (Dwayyo) after using his Grandmother's outhouse in Frederick County, Maryland

What I saw was an impossible sight. This animal stepping through the backyard of Grandma's property, just past the garden about ten feet past the outhouse. It was this upright furry creature with a dog-wolf head! I have owned German Shepherds from the age of 7 so the head was almost similar to the ears and snoot of a German Shepherd dog. I stopped dead in my tracks, not believing my eyes because it was impossible! It had arms that had claw-like hands that hung out in front of it. As it turned its head and looked right at me, the eyes looked yellow and super reflective. Chills shot up my spine as it quickly walked on two legs (that looked like real dog legs bending backwards) traveling from left to right, past her garden, into the old, gravel lane, then across into the thicket of the woods where it disappeared.
