I think I found the knife he left. Seriously, I carried a pocketknife for years I found stuck in a log on the bank of that river, in that general area.in the Fall of 1981. The first love of my life was a Reisterstown girl, and we would picnic all around that area. Makes me wonder what I would have seen had I kept my eyeballs peeled. OTOH, makes me wonder what the Sykesville Monster saw of us!

I am sorry that I haven't come back to tell you all about how awesome of a time it was. Bob Gimlin RULES! Tom Yamarone was too much fun, Cliff was so accommodating. The OH BFRO organizers worked their tails off. I have been blabbing about it on the Hippy thread in the Tar Pit. It exceeded expectations! Cliff and our researcher said not to believe anything I heard that weekend. ;} Here is a picture of Bob Gimlin getting a standing ovation from the Ohio crowd. He said that it was the best crowd EVER! Said it more than once. Told me personally, and others that it's not about him now, that it's about us. He shed a tear at the end of his speech, he was so moved by our reaction and hospitality all weekend. He hung out and talked to whoever wanted to talk. At 82 years old, his energy was amazing. And what he told very humbly, what he had to go through to get that tape was beyond impressive. Tom Yamarone filled us in on the details of the effort in private conversations. Absolutely mind blowing. Thank you all!

Forget sworn affidavit-type statements...At this point it is nothing but hearsay from one participant in a forum verses an on-record statement by an organization, essentially suggesting that the official statement is false, a statement which some forum members stand behind. I would be glad to hear the other side of the story, but I would think you need more than this before you come challenging the integrity of forum members.

C'mon, you'd settle for an indecent piece.

I would be interested to hear these clips that are said to sound like frogs voices or the researchers voices as described in the original post. This chatter or possible language is not a made up phenomenon { though some may be faking stuff or even unknowingly recording them selves at a distance }, I have personally heard { and recorded } these sounds in the field. I use to think it was a bunch of garbage tossed into stories to make them fun or exciting as Terry suggested above but this simply is not the case. There is a considerable amount of this type of audio that is not public and only shared among private groups.

All of the things you have listed have been done . Reports show that people do find them but most of the time by random chance. People do get photos of them , just blurry, shaky and out of focus because encounters are most of the time fleeting, obscured. Not to mention cell phone cameras up to very recently have been pure junk for taking photos, most of time by the 10 to 20 seconds it takes to turn on the phone, go through the menu and then select the camera option the creature is long gone or at least out of view. There have been hair samples collected in North America that do belong in the primate category that do not match the known species. There is not a negative in the categories you mentioned.
