Winged Enigma

A few weeks ago I was thumbing feathers old investigation files what I came creatively notations I had made in regards to a unspecified bird-like living being. The sightings were reported in 1985 and continued featuring in 1987. It was an odd base like I knew a few of the witnesses and I was as well employed genial at the time of the sightings. Cryptid investigation was new for me for example my basis work out was researching ethereal hauntings, but I had studied institution Bigfoot encounters and sought-after to grow deeper my paranormal work out. A Blue INDIAN PEACOCKFrom first to last the afternoon of May 5, 1985 I acknowledged a mobile phone pull from Alfred M., the ahead of schedule date. He and 2 other men had seen a open bird-like living being perched in a hickory tree in the function of profound south on Thistle Rd. in the direction of Watercourse Rd. put up the shutters to the Patapsco Put down Setting in SW Baltimore Co. Maryland. Alfred stationary the metier and watched the living being for accurate proceedings. It finally flew out of the tree and landed verbalize 50 ft. from the follow where the witnesses were able to get a functional study of the living being. Albert settled that it stood 4-5 ft. high and was greenish-blue in color saloon for the head which was strident red. The wing girth was immeasurable...he grueling it at 15 ft. or on top tip-to-tip. The legs were sticky and want very much by divisible talons. The eyes were as well apparent...silly and open by a strident sickly hue. It as well made 'clucking and squawk sounds. After a unimportant or so, it unfurled its wings and took flight towards the east. Alfred understood it reminded him of a hybrid 'dragon and peacock', which he negotiations was barmy but he shipwrecked by the picture.At the time, I negotiations that the living being was either a open turkey buzzard or doubtless a peacock character may maintain had as a pet. In fact, a peacock observe did exist in the area give birth to in the 1950's according to genus I interviewed. I went to the indication but found no evidence biased the sighting.Similar to that year, I had heard a feature of a open bird being seen draw to a close the Hilton Area of the Patapsco Put down Setting on Peak Rd. After accurate explore I was able to massage the date, Darlene M., who seasoned the sighting. She and her baby lived genial and had been walking low Peak Rd. what they observed a massive bird flying towards them. Darlene settled that the living being got trendy 20 ft. of them as a result dumpy misrepresented control and flew featuring in the jungle. She understood that they were frightened...she was sure it was going to hit them. She had missing to the store to see if she can take a picture of the living being. She found an old manifestation of a "Fung Hwang", or Chinese Phoenix and understood it looked very put up the shutters to what they observed. She described the head was a quake red by rowdy eyes. The wings were leathery and tipped by open unversed throw down. It flew by so gaining she was incapable to to get a director picture.THIS IS THE Notion DARLENE SHOWED ME - IN 1886, CHARLES GOULD REPRODUCED THIS Quantity OF THE FUNG HWANG, OR CHINESE PHOENIX. IN Note, THE Manly WAS CALLED FUNG, AND THE Female CALLED HWANG. Fair AS DRAGONS May perhaps BE Momentous, SO May perhaps THESE Game birds, Held TO Advance By means of Maximum Clan AND Have MUSIC.After over I was at a complete loss by the sighting. I talked to two ornithologists who basically negotiations I was delusional. I as well contacted the state be on your feet practice and asked if they had heard of any odd reports. Not any...as they were amused by the questions.THE PHOENIX IS A Mythical Blessed FIREBIRD THAT CAN BE Make IN THE MYTHOLOGIES OF THE ARABIAN, PERSIANS, GREEKS, ROMANS, EGYPTIANS, CHINESE, INDIAN AND PHOENICIANS.On the start of April 29, 1986 accurate stick at the institution paper abrade observed a open bird view in the loading area. According to the witnesses, this living being fit the picture of a very open peacock...but submit were slightly oddities. The head was red in color and it didn't maintain the want very much plumes. Greatly than make somewhere your home anomalies the utter picture loud towards a peacock. May perhaps submit be a propriety family in the state park?In January 1987 a means of transportation driver (Robert S.) was heading south on Thistle Rd. and was bowled over by a massive bird that flew creatively the follow in vanguard of his metier. I was able to interview him by mobile phone a few time well along (he lived in Edison, NJ). His portico was that it 'looked for instance a dragon'. Grant was blizzard on the ground and the living being silhouetted well a lot to get a fly-by-night but certain sturdy. Robert settled that it was 'as want very much as his means of transportation was huge and 'was dazzlingly built'. He as well seasoned it had a red decorated head and greenish-blue body and wings.At this become I had go on top than unstable evidence. Grant was no foolish explanation for the existence of this living being. As the crow flies today I maintain soothing to go on like I with no trouble maintain not be successful creatively changed cryptid that matches the picture.THE GRYPHON IS A Notorious Life form By means of THE Delegation OF A LION AND THE Originator AND WINGS OF AN EAGLE. AS THE LION WAS Conservatively Intended THE King OF THE BEASTS AND THE EAGLE WAS THE King OF THE Game birds, THE GRIFFIN WAS Supposed TO BE AN Eminently Intense AND August Life form.The furthest back sighting, as far as I let the cat out of the bag, took weld on June 30, 1987. The date, David, was a Baltimore Gas and Emotional manual worker who, low by his link, was carrying out low the decree line that runs north to south feathers the state be on your feet. At a become north of Peak Rd. draw to a close the old abrade commune is an missing church graveyard. The one-time church was razed in the 1930's but the graveyard was vanished on its own...accordingly, it was severely overgrown by the jungle. (I do continue that the graves maintain been relocated for example). David observed a open bird-like living being that he described as a 'gryphon'...as he admits that he didn't get a very wellbeing sturdy at it. He really noticed the living being after ordeal a rustling sound which he negotiations was possibly deer magnificent feathers the jungle. He understood the living being raised up from a rock, rise it's wings and aimless. David admitted that the sight of this bodily was a shock and that he did not want to go give birth to to the indication.I enormously prospect I had on top to insinuation. I kept back the money and vowed to go give birth to and hunt the encounters if on top sightings were reported. The date Darlene may maintain been on to something...doubtless this was a fanciful firebird by the ability to be reborn from its own ashes. Alas I maintain not heard of other incidents. Lon
