Stealthy Bigfoot moves closer to Maine
For as long as I can remember sightings of the Sasquatch, the fabled furry behemoth also affectionately known as Bigfoot, have been limited to the western United States and Canada; northern California, Oregon, Washington, British Columbia.

The classic grainy shot of Bigfoot.

All that has changed now with a recent sighting of a "primal like animal" reported by a Pennsylvania hunter in the Allegheny Mountains. Bigfoot experts believe it "to be a juvenile Sasquatch."
Whoa. The real thing possibly.
Just 500 miles as the crows flies from Maine. That's uncomfortably close don't you think?
I mean, really, how do you feel about a hairy hunk of beast with a size 22 shoe sculking around the woods and waters of Maine?
Hobbits, gnomes and trolls are one thing. But Bigfoot?
Makes me shutter something wicked.
But it may already be too late. He/she/it may already be among us.
There are rumors of a primal beast living in the wilds of Limington. A sighting of a Sasquatch-like creature down in the Old Port late one Friday night not too long ago. And I'll swear I saw something big and hairy sitting in the back row at a recent MOAC meeting.
Hard tellin'. Who's to say?
Have you any Bigfoot sightings in Maine to share? Might as well get them on the record. Do tell...

I do not have size 22 shoes.

The photo you refer to in this little spot is now believed to be, by any sane person, a simple mangy bear - not Bigfoot.

I have never seen a bear look like the one in that photo. Mangy or not, if that is a bear it is really disfigured.

I love to believe that there is a bigfoot. I keep holding out hope every time there is a sighting. But, these pics do look like a bear.

That was a bigfoot? Looks like a starving dog or something.

Actually there are around 15-20 reports of bigfoot sightings in maine. Some of them go back to colonial times on mt. katadihn. It's called the katadihn creature and it's sighted even today. Actually if you add up the northeastern states and quebec, there are alot of reports. Looks like bigfoot has benn in your area since before you were there.

I grew up in Gardiner, Maine; and when I was about seven or so, in about 1986, I saw bigfoot. At the time I had never heard of such a thing and thought it to be a gorila. I knew this to not be possible so I refrained from telling my parents or syblings. A couple of years later I watched a documentory on bigfoot and knew that was the creature I had seen.
It was winter time and I had my tobogen slug over my shoulder, trudging through at least a foot of snow that reached my young knees. When at the top of my favorite sledding hill I stood I looked down to see a creature at the base walking up towards me. It was covered in black fur with slightly a balding chest and face. I was so scared I turned and ran not once breaking though the thin sheet of ice covoring the minimal foot of snow. It took me a few years before comfortably hiking alone in that area again, especialy during the winter.
