00:00:04,880 --> 00:00:07,080
Hello and welcome to the program
UFO Warning. 

2
00:00:07,200 --> 00:00:10,720
In this episode we're talking 
about Bigfoot sightings from 

3
00:00:10,720 --> 00:00:12,560
Maine. 
That's correct, Bigfoot 

4
00:00:12,560 --> 00:00:16,960
sightings from Maine. 
Found these over at bfro.net. 

5
00:00:16,960 --> 00:00:20,240
A lot of cool sightings over 
there that this first one is 

6
00:00:20,240 --> 00:00:24,280
dated Saturday August 2nd, 2025 
S pretty recent actually. 

7
00:00:24,920 --> 00:00:27,680
It says daylight sighting by two
witnesses driving on State Route

8
00:00:27,680 --> 00:00:31,240
26 outside Grafton Notch State 
Park. 

9
00:00:34,640 --> 00:00:36,680
This is located in Oxford 
County. 

10
00:00:36,680 --> 00:00:40,560
Location details around Hwy. 544
and M9. 

11
00:00:40,560 --> 00:00:45,000
Newry, Maine. 
This is a zip code of O4261 

12
00:00:45,880 --> 00:00:48,720
Investigator notes and then has 
approximate location here for 

13
00:00:48,720 --> 00:00:51,120
the GPS. 
Nearest town Newry, Maine. 

14
00:00:51,240 --> 00:00:54,320
Nearest Rd. 
Bear River Rd. site of the 

15
00:00:54,480 --> 00:00:58,000
incident observed. 
My husband and I were driving 

16
00:00:58,080 --> 00:01:02,560
through and out of Grafton State
Park today when a large brown 

17
00:01:02,760 --> 00:01:06,080
bipedal figure came out of the 
woods and run across the road. 

18
00:01:07,240 --> 00:01:10,160
The car in front of us was 
closer to it and had to brake 

19
00:01:10,160 --> 00:01:12,520
suddenly, so it was clear that 
they saw it too. 

20
00:01:13,120 --> 00:01:17,520
It was quite large, completely 
brown and moved very quickly. 

21
00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:21,320
One detail that stood out was 
the way it carried his arms 

22
00:01:21,520 --> 00:01:25,200
almost behind his body as it 
ran, which seems strange and 

23
00:01:25,520 --> 00:01:29,080
distinctly non human. 
I had my husband drive up to the

24
00:01:29,080 --> 00:01:32,480
spot where we saw the figure to 
check whether there were any 

25
00:01:32,480 --> 00:01:35,840
people on the side of the road 
or any nearby parking areas. 

26
00:01:36,640 --> 00:01:39,200
At the place where I crossed, we
we were already outside the 

27
00:01:39,200 --> 00:01:41,280
park. 
There were no parking lots, 

28
00:01:41,280 --> 00:01:44,280
sidewalks or areas where a 
person could have gone other 

29
00:01:44,280 --> 00:01:47,640
than directly into the woods. 
Even though only a short time 

30
00:01:47,640 --> 00:01:50,800
pass between when it crossed and
when our car reached the spot, 

31
00:01:51,240 --> 00:01:54,400
there was nothing visible in the
woods or near the roadside. 

32
00:01:54,920 --> 00:01:56,680
Yeah, these things do seem to be
fast. 

33
00:01:57,200 --> 00:02:00,240
This is other witnesses, my 
husband and I in our car and 

34
00:02:00,240 --> 00:02:01,480
whoever was in the car ahead of 
us. 

35
00:02:01,480 --> 00:02:04,320
We spent the day hiking and 
visiting the waterfalls at the 

36
00:02:04,320 --> 00:02:07,680
State Park. 
Other stories This was our first

37
00:02:07,720 --> 00:02:10,919
visit to the area. 
We've never seen anything like 

38
00:02:10,919 --> 00:02:13,960
this before. 
Time and conditions around 1:20 

39
00:02:13,960 --> 00:02:19,000
PM on a clear summer afternoon. 
Environment A forested area just

40
00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:22,720
outside the State Park with 
trees on both sides of the road 

41
00:02:23,520 --> 00:02:27,640
and follow up investigations 
done by Jeff Shepherd says I had

42
00:02:27,640 --> 00:02:30,520
the opportunity to speak with 
witnesses within days of the 

43
00:02:30,520 --> 00:02:33,360
sighting. 
She and her husband are busy 

44
00:02:33,360 --> 00:02:36,440
professionals who enjoy getting 
away on weekends to explore the 

45
00:02:36,440 --> 00:02:39,880
outdoors in Maine. 
This spirit of adventure brought

46
00:02:39,880 --> 00:02:43,840
them to Grafton State Park to 
unwind, hike and appreciate the 

47
00:02:43,840 --> 00:02:47,120
beauty of nature. 
As they were leaving Step Falls 

48
00:02:47,120 --> 00:02:51,080
Preserve at approximately 1:30 
PM, they were settling in for 

49
00:02:51,080 --> 00:02:55,760
the Drive Home SE on Route 26 
when they noticed a car in front

50
00:02:55,760 --> 00:02:58,640
of them brake hard to avoid 
hitting something. 

51
00:02:59,400 --> 00:03:02,800
To their astonishment, what they
saw was a bipedal human like 

52
00:03:02,800 --> 00:03:07,240
creature leaning forward with 
its arms trailing behind it as 

53
00:03:07,240 --> 00:03:09,440
it ran incredibly fast across 
the road. 

54
00:03:09,840 --> 00:03:12,560
They stopped briefly at the 
location of the crossing to see 

55
00:03:12,560 --> 00:03:17,040
if there was a parking area or 
any people nearby, but saw only 

56
00:03:17,040 --> 00:03:19,200
dense woods on both sides of the
road. 

57
00:03:19,760 --> 00:03:22,680
They chose not to exit their 
vehicle to investigate further. 

58
00:03:23,640 --> 00:03:26,520
When asked about its height, the
witness estimated the creature 

59
00:03:26,520 --> 00:03:31,520
to be between 8:00 and 9:00 feet
tall, even from their distance 

60
00:03:31,720 --> 00:03:34,920
behind the other car. 
She said the creature leaning 

61
00:03:34,920 --> 00:03:38,200
forward towered over the Subaru 
type vehicle ahead of them. 

62
00:03:38,480 --> 00:03:42,120
When asked whether she could see
the license plate on the car in 

63
00:03:42,120 --> 00:03:46,520
front of them or if it was from 
Maine, she said it was too far 

64
00:03:46,520 --> 00:03:49,280
away to tell. 
What stood out most to the 

65
00:03:49,280 --> 00:03:52,840
couple was the creature's 
height, the unusual way it ran 

66
00:03:52,840 --> 00:03:57,040
with its long arms held behind 
it, and how fast and smoothly it

67
00:03:57,040 --> 00:03:59,760
crossed the road. 
It had a large head and a 

68
00:03:59,760 --> 00:04:03,600
muscular, stocky build. 
When asked about the possibility

69
00:04:03,600 --> 00:04:06,760
of it being a local animal, she 
said it could not have been a 

70
00:04:06,760 --> 00:04:08,800
moose. 
She had been hoping to see a 

71
00:04:08,800 --> 00:04:11,840
moose that day because the 
creature was bipedal and human 

72
00:04:11,840 --> 00:04:15,000
like. 
She also said it was not a bear.

73
00:04:15,360 --> 00:04:18,440
The creature's collar was a 
chocolate brown, unlike the 

74
00:04:18,440 --> 00:04:21,839
black collaration typical of the
local bear population. 

75
00:04:22,360 --> 00:04:25,760
Its speed on 2 legs was far too 
great for a black bear, and its 

76
00:04:25,760 --> 00:04:28,800
size and build were also much 
larger. 

77
00:04:29,440 --> 00:04:31,560
I found the witness to be 
articulate and credible. 

78
00:04:31,560 --> 00:04:34,680
She filed her report the same 
day as the incident and 

79
00:04:34,680 --> 00:04:38,000
expressed hope that the driver 
of the car head who nearly 

80
00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:41,200
struck the creature would also 
file a report confirming what 

81
00:04:41,200 --> 00:04:43,800
they saw. 
Her husband had been skeptical 

82
00:04:43,800 --> 00:04:47,280
about the existence of Bigfoot 
and believed they only inhabited

83
00:04:47,280 --> 00:04:51,200
the Pacific Northwest. 
However, she believes what they 

84
00:04:51,200 --> 00:04:55,200
saw was likely a Bigfoot. 
She mentioned being disappointed

85
00:04:55,200 --> 00:04:58,640
that she had turned off her 
video camera after their hike, 

86
00:04:58,640 --> 00:05:03,200
but said she was said she would 
likely start using a dish camera

87
00:05:03,200 --> 00:05:06,200
during future trips. 
This incident took place in 

88
00:05:06,200 --> 00:05:10,120
Oxford County, Maine. 
The BFRO has more published 

89
00:05:10,120 --> 00:05:14,600
reports from this county than 
any other in the state. 5 first 

90
00:05:14,600 --> 00:05:17,520
person reports, including this 
one, are posted publicly on a 

91
00:05:17,520 --> 00:05:20,880
BFRO website. 
There are 19 additional reports 

92
00:05:20,880 --> 00:05:23,560
from Oxford County. 
They're not posted publicly, but

93
00:05:23,560 --> 00:05:29,000
are documented in the BFRO 
database, accessible to BFRO 

94
00:05:29,000 --> 00:05:31,200
investigators. 
These reports span several 

95
00:05:31,200 --> 00:05:33,600
decades. 
Some are second hand accounts, 

96
00:05:33,600 --> 00:05:36,560
which BFRO generally does not 
post publicly. 

97
00:05:36,840 --> 00:05:39,560
However, when multiple second 
hand reports cluster in the same

98
00:05:39,560 --> 00:05:42,760
area, they often lend 
credibility to the likelihood of

99
00:05:43,000 --> 00:05:46,360
repeated activity. 
Man that's really cool. 

100
00:05:46,360 --> 00:05:48,520
What a neat sighting. 
Very cool. 

101
00:05:49,720 --> 00:05:53,840
The sighting here happened says 
August 2022. 

102
00:05:54,800 --> 00:05:58,280
Looks like it was submitted on 
January 11th, 2023 at Oxford 

103
00:05:58,280 --> 00:06:00,120
County, Maine. 
Again location details. 

104
00:06:00,120 --> 00:06:02,840
All incidents occurred while 
fishing on Overset Pond in 

105
00:06:02,840 --> 00:06:05,880
Greenwood, Maine. 
Nearest town in Greenwood, 

106
00:06:05,880 --> 00:06:07,720
nearest Rd. 
Patch Mountain Rd. 

107
00:06:08,160 --> 00:06:11,600
Observed during the spring and 
summer of 2022. 

108
00:06:12,080 --> 00:06:14,920
I discovered a new favorite 
remote trout pond not far from 

109
00:06:14,920 --> 00:06:17,440
my camp. 
The pond is about a one mile 

110
00:06:17,440 --> 00:06:21,000
hike to access. 
Hiking trails are present, but 

111
00:06:21,000 --> 00:06:25,200
during the roughly 20 + * I 
visited visited this pond, I've 

112
00:06:25,200 --> 00:06:28,520
only saw five other people 
total, two pair of hikers and 

113
00:06:28,760 --> 00:06:31,520
one other fisherman. 
This pond is known for being 

114
00:06:31,520 --> 00:06:34,400
windy, so I would only visit it 
on calm days. 

115
00:06:34,840 --> 00:06:37,640
The more I visited, the more I 
began to notice strange 

116
00:06:37,640 --> 00:06:40,640
occurrences. 
Before fishing here, I had never

117
00:06:40,640 --> 00:06:43,320
personally heard a tree fall in 
the woods. 

118
00:06:43,880 --> 00:06:47,440
During my visit to this pond, I 
heard a total of 5 trees fall, 

119
00:06:47,800 --> 00:06:50,480
although I never actually saw 
any of them fall. 

120
00:06:51,360 --> 00:06:54,640
In addition to that, I heard an 
innumerable number of tree 

121
00:06:54,640 --> 00:06:57,360
knocks. 
My visits began in April and 

122
00:06:57,360 --> 00:07:00,520
ended in August. 
The activity seemed to increase 

123
00:07:00,520 --> 00:07:03,720
as the summer went on. 
At first I thought the repeated 

124
00:07:03,720 --> 00:07:07,040
sound of falling trees might 
just be coincidence until one of

125
00:07:07,040 --> 00:07:10,000
my final visits in mid August 
when the activity reached its 

126
00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:12,920
peak. 
On that day I heard two separate

127
00:07:12,920 --> 00:07:17,000
trees fall, which made me stop 
fishing and focus on what was 

128
00:07:17,000 --> 00:07:19,760
happening around me. 
I noticed that every time I 

129
00:07:19,760 --> 00:07:23,360
paddled to the North End of the 
pond I was met with tree knocks.

130
00:07:23,760 --> 00:07:26,960
This continued until I spotted 
the midsection of a Birch tree 

131
00:07:27,320 --> 00:07:30,720
leaned up against another tree 
right at the water's edge. 

132
00:07:31,520 --> 00:07:34,200
I'd paddled up and down that 
pond at least 100 times over the

133
00:07:34,200 --> 00:07:36,560
spring and summer, and I had 
never seen that Birch tree 

134
00:07:36,560 --> 00:07:39,040
before. 
It appeared to have been placed 

135
00:07:39,040 --> 00:07:41,840
there while I was on the South 
side of the pond. 

136
00:07:42,440 --> 00:07:46,440
As I examined the tree from my 
canoe, I heard a series of tree 

137
00:07:46,440 --> 00:07:48,880
knocks. 
I paddled back to the South end 

138
00:07:48,880 --> 00:07:51,880
and fished there until the light
began to fade, then packed up to

139
00:07:51,880 --> 00:07:54,160
hike out. 
Near the trailhead. 

140
00:07:54,200 --> 00:07:57,800
Large rocks blocked access to 
prevent ATVs from driving 

141
00:07:57,800 --> 00:08:00,880
directly to the pond. 
Sitting on one of those rocks 

142
00:08:01,320 --> 00:08:04,400
was a perfectly attached Birch 
tree skin. 

143
00:08:05,040 --> 00:08:07,320
I'm not entirely convinced that 
a person couldn't have done 

144
00:08:07,320 --> 00:08:09,840
these things. 
However, given the opportunity, 

145
00:08:10,000 --> 00:08:13,160
given the proximity of my 
experiences to another sighting 

146
00:08:13,160 --> 00:08:16,440
reported on this website, I felt
it was worth reporting. 

147
00:08:17,240 --> 00:08:20,040
I never had any strange 
occurrences while hiking in, 

148
00:08:20,040 --> 00:08:21,680
hiking out, or walking around 
the pond. 

149
00:08:21,960 --> 00:08:24,120
Only while I was fishing on the 
water. 

150
00:08:25,320 --> 00:08:26,800
Almost like these things were 
upset. 

151
00:08:26,800 --> 00:08:31,120
Maybe that you're messing with 
their food resources it says. 

152
00:08:31,160 --> 00:08:33,400
Also notice I had an odd bear 
encounter. 

153
00:08:34,039 --> 00:08:36,640
The bear was small and stood on 
all fours in the middle of the 

154
00:08:36,640 --> 00:08:38,960
trail. 
This was unusual because bears 

155
00:08:38,960 --> 00:08:42,039
are fairly rare in this area and
I had been making noise 

156
00:08:42,039 --> 00:08:45,240
specifically to keep them away. 
The bear's behavior seemed 

157
00:08:45,240 --> 00:08:47,120
strange. 
Other witnesses? 

158
00:08:47,120 --> 00:08:48,600
Just me? 
I have a photo of the Birch tree

159
00:08:48,600 --> 00:08:50,360
skin. 
Other stories? 

160
00:08:50,400 --> 00:08:51,800
Yes. 
I read about a sighting on this 

161
00:08:51,880 --> 00:08:54,480
website that occurred that 
occurred in 2020 very close to 

162
00:08:54,480 --> 00:08:58,000
this location. 
Time and conditions, Daytime 

163
00:08:58,000 --> 00:09:00,240
afternoon clear skies and low 
wind environment. 

164
00:09:00,640 --> 00:09:06,440
Dense force to the West with 
small swampy areas at both ends 

165
00:09:06,480 --> 00:09:09,600
at both the North and South ends
of the pond that quickly 

166
00:09:09,680 --> 00:09:12,800
transition into thick woods. 
The east edge is bordered by a 

167
00:09:12,800 --> 00:09:16,960
massive 500 foot Cliff face and 
border field. 

168
00:09:17,360 --> 00:09:19,960
Yeah, sounds like a pretty 
remote area. 

169
00:09:19,960 --> 00:09:23,160
Just stick on a place I would 
expect these Bigfoot Sasquatch 

170
00:09:23,160 --> 00:09:26,040
to to be at. 
The sighting happened on 

171
00:09:26,040 --> 00:09:29,880
Tuesday, December 19th, 2023. 
Says multiple family members 

172
00:09:29,880 --> 00:09:33,320
report several incidents on 
isolated property near the 

173
00:09:33,320 --> 00:09:35,920
Canadian border. 
It's got some pictures, just 

174
00:09:36,080 --> 00:09:38,920
really looks like some remote 
forested area. 

175
00:09:39,760 --> 00:09:42,040
County. 
Here is Aristoc County main 

176
00:09:42,040 --> 00:09:44,960
location details. 
The residents do not want us to 

177
00:09:44,960 --> 00:09:47,120
post her address or use their 
last names. 

178
00:09:47,880 --> 00:09:51,000
The property's located about 2 
1/2 miles South of Mars Hill, ME

179
00:09:51,000 --> 00:09:54,760
and about 3 1/2 miles West of 
the Canadian border. 

180
00:09:55,160 --> 00:09:57,360
See graphics below for general 
location. 

181
00:09:57,640 --> 00:09:59,600
It's got some maps pictures 
here. 

182
00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:01,200
They're pretty detailed 
actually. 

183
00:10:01,520 --> 00:10:03,680
Nearest nearest town Blaine. 
Nearest Rd. 

184
00:10:03,680 --> 00:10:07,120
Robinson Rd. 
Observed December 18th, 2023. 

185
00:10:07,480 --> 00:10:10,800
A major storm blew in around 
7:00 AM and didn't move out 

186
00:10:10,800 --> 00:10:14,360
until about 12:30 AM the 
following morning. 

187
00:10:14,840 --> 00:10:18,160
It knocked out power to our home
sometime around 7:00 PM. 

188
00:10:19,080 --> 00:10:20,560
I'll tell you something. 
I'm looking at these pictures. 

189
00:10:20,560 --> 00:10:23,880
I'm just imagining being there 
at this farmstead out in the 

190
00:10:23,880 --> 00:10:27,400
middle of the forested area, 
freezing cold outside. 

191
00:10:27,560 --> 00:10:30,640
No power, boy. 
We have a chicken coop about 40 

192
00:10:30,640 --> 00:10:33,400
feet from our house. 
The coop sits 2 feet off the 

193
00:10:33,400 --> 00:10:36,800
ground and measures 
approximately 12 by 20 feet with

194
00:10:36,880 --> 00:10:41,720
a front door that used to be the
main entry to our home at about 

195
00:10:41,720 --> 00:10:44,800
8:30 PM. 
Sunset is around 3:30 PM this 

196
00:10:44,800 --> 00:10:48,160
time of year. 
Boy, I was shining my flashlight

197
00:10:48,680 --> 00:10:52,040
out an upstairs window when I 
saw a dark silhouette standing 

198
00:10:52,040 --> 00:10:55,680
in front of the coop. 
The top of its head was in line 

199
00:10:55,680 --> 00:10:59,600
with the top of the coop door. 
It was very muscular with broad 

200
00:10:59,600 --> 00:11:03,720
shoulders, long upper legs and 
proportionally shorter lower 

201
00:11:03,720 --> 00:11:05,760
legs. 
It was too narrow at the hips to

202
00:11:05,760 --> 00:11:09,120
be a bear. 
Previously had a black bear and 

203
00:11:09,120 --> 00:11:12,400
her Cubs then near our house a 
few years ago. 

204
00:11:12,800 --> 00:11:14,360
This was nothing like that 
shape. 

205
00:11:15,040 --> 00:11:17,000
Now, this is not the first time 
I've heard of one of these 

206
00:11:17,000 --> 00:11:19,360
things prowling around chicken 
coop. 

207
00:11:20,080 --> 00:11:23,040
I moved the flashlight slightly 
to get a better look and it 

208
00:11:23,040 --> 00:11:25,720
disappeared from view. 
The chicken coop is covered in 

209
00:11:25,720 --> 00:11:29,560
white siding, so there was no 
mistaking that the figure was 

210
00:11:29,560 --> 00:11:32,840
bipedal. 
It was facing me when I first 

211
00:11:32,880 --> 00:11:36,720
shined the light on it, and it 
turned to run off just as I 

212
00:11:36,720 --> 00:11:40,000
adjusted the beam. 
Given that a standard door is 7 

213
00:11:40,000 --> 00:11:43,920
foot high and the coop is 2 feet
off the ground, that would make 

214
00:11:43,920 --> 00:11:48,640
the figure roughly 9 feet tall. 
What initially drew my attention

215
00:11:48,640 --> 00:11:51,280
outside was a sound that chilled
me to my core. 

216
00:11:51,880 --> 00:11:55,200
I've been listening to the wind 
howl all day, but this was 

217
00:11:55,200 --> 00:11:57,880
different. 
Guttural, not In Sync with the 

218
00:11:57,880 --> 00:12:02,600
wind, and distinctly unnatural. 
It triggered a strong physical 

219
00:12:02,600 --> 00:12:05,440
reaction. 
My heart begin racing and my 

220
00:12:05,440 --> 00:12:08,680
stomach tightened. 
At the time, I was tending to 

221
00:12:08,680 --> 00:12:11,480
two of my grandkids who were 
playing with flashlights, making

222
00:12:11,480 --> 00:12:14,480
shadow puppets. 
I jumped up, told them to hand 

223
00:12:14,480 --> 00:12:17,680
me a flashlight and turn off the
other to see out the windows. 

224
00:12:17,680 --> 00:12:20,120
I must hold the flashlight 
directly against the glass, 

225
00:12:20,120 --> 00:12:23,320
otherwise it reflects back. 
All other lights in the room 

226
00:12:23,640 --> 00:12:26,120
have to be off. 
One of our dogs was barking 

227
00:12:26,120 --> 00:12:28,440
furiously. 
Before I could explain to my 

228
00:12:28,440 --> 00:12:31,000
daughters what I'd seen, they 
began describing their own 

229
00:12:31,000 --> 00:12:34,160
experiences downstairs with the 
younger children and the dogs. 

230
00:12:34,640 --> 00:12:37,880
Because the power was out, my 
youngest daughter was charging 

231
00:12:37,880 --> 00:12:40,800
her phone in her car. 
She said she went out to 

232
00:12:40,800 --> 00:12:44,160
retrieve it and immediately felt
as if someone was watching her. 

233
00:12:44,560 --> 00:12:47,160
The feeling was so intense that 
she stayed in her car for 

234
00:12:47,160 --> 00:12:48,760
several minutes, scanning the 
area. 

235
00:12:49,280 --> 00:12:51,600
When she finally got out, she 
had taken only a few steps 

236
00:12:51,600 --> 00:12:54,400
toward the house when she heard 
the same sound I'd heard 

237
00:12:54,400 --> 00:12:56,840
earlier. 
Terrified, she sprinted back 

238
00:12:56,840 --> 00:12:58,840
inside. 
The dog in the window was 

239
00:12:58,840 --> 00:13:00,680
barking frantically. 
She came through the door. 

240
00:13:01,280 --> 00:13:04,840
My oldest daughter said that 
when she heard the how, she saw 

241
00:13:04,920 --> 00:13:08,280
her dog lift his head and look 
toward the window and began 

242
00:13:08,400 --> 00:13:11,120
barking uncontrollably. 
The dog was looking in the 

243
00:13:11,120 --> 00:13:13,920
opposite direction from where my
younger daughter had been. 

244
00:13:14,360 --> 00:13:17,000
Nobody wanted to charge their 
phones in front of the cars 

245
00:13:17,000 --> 00:13:19,720
after that. 
This was not a case of mistaken 

246
00:13:19,720 --> 00:13:21,920
identity. 
Regarding the sounds we were in 

247
00:13:21,960 --> 00:13:25,320
30 mile per hour winds with 
gusts up to 55 mile per hour 

248
00:13:25,640 --> 00:13:28,240
along with the heavy downpour in
December. 

249
00:13:28,680 --> 00:13:32,880
I don't know of any animal, wild
or domestic, that would be in 

250
00:13:32,880 --> 00:13:34,720
that would be out in that kind 
of weather. 

251
00:13:35,160 --> 00:13:38,160
The next morning after sunrise, 
my oldest daughter went out to 

252
00:13:38,160 --> 00:13:39,880
the trash bin next to the 
chicken coop. 

253
00:13:40,360 --> 00:13:43,960
She found the heavy lid had been
lifted off and placed on the 

254
00:13:43,960 --> 00:13:47,960
backside of the bin opposite the
direction the wind had been 

255
00:13:47,960 --> 00:13:50,400
blowing. 
Two large bags of trash were 

256
00:13:50,400 --> 00:13:53,560
missing and a trail of garbage 
LED into the woods. 

257
00:13:53,960 --> 00:13:57,440
Critters usually tear into the 
trash and pick through but but 

258
00:13:57,440 --> 00:14:01,000
they don't carry off full 55 
gallon trash bags. 

259
00:14:01,000 --> 00:14:04,760
There were no tracks of any kind
because the ground around that 

260
00:14:04,760 --> 00:14:06,840
area is either gravel or grass, 
not mud. 

261
00:14:07,400 --> 00:14:09,080
Wow, so this must have been a 
rainstorm? 

262
00:14:09,080 --> 00:14:12,560
Not a snowstorm then. 
This is also noticed throughout 

263
00:14:12,560 --> 00:14:14,840
the summer. 
We heard odd chirping like 

264
00:14:14,840 --> 00:14:18,440
sounds that after dark. 
Initially identified them as a 

265
00:14:18,440 --> 00:14:21,400
Mountain Lion. 
Three adults, three children and

266
00:14:21,600 --> 00:14:25,040
one of our three dogs, Doberman,
were the other witnesses. 

267
00:14:25,040 --> 00:14:27,640
Power outage at the time. 
Children were playing shadow 

268
00:14:27,640 --> 00:14:30,560
puppets before bedtime. 
Other stories. 

269
00:14:30,560 --> 00:14:32,880
No, we don't know any. 
We don't know many people in 

270
00:14:32,880 --> 00:14:35,520
this area. 
Time and conditions. 8:30 PM. 

271
00:14:35,520 --> 00:14:39,400
Massive storm, high winds, heavy
rain, very dark environment. 

272
00:14:39,400 --> 00:14:43,080
Wooded in farmland mix rural 
Maine Triple Creek area with 

273
00:14:43,080 --> 00:14:46,000
nearby ski resorts, hills, ponds
and potato farms. 

274
00:14:47,560 --> 00:14:50,200
And it says follow up 
investigation by Ontario 

275
00:14:50,200 --> 00:14:53,440
Richardson. 
On December 18th, 2023, a severe

276
00:14:53,440 --> 00:14:56,240
windstorm moved through the East
Coast, knocking out power and 

277
00:14:56,240 --> 00:15:00,480
causing at least 4 fatalities. 
Around 7:00 PM Eastern Standard 

278
00:15:00,480 --> 00:15:02,960
Time, power was lost at 
Michelle's home. 

279
00:15:03,520 --> 00:15:06,320
Michelle, her two daughters, 
grandchildren and a family 

280
00:15:06,320 --> 00:15:09,520
friend were riding out the storm
indoors, entertaining the 

281
00:15:09,520 --> 00:15:10,880
children with the shadow 
puppets. 

282
00:15:11,760 --> 00:15:14,640
Shortly after the power went 
out, something struck a window. 

283
00:15:15,160 --> 00:15:17,480
Michelle grabbed a flashlight 
and held it flush against the 

284
00:15:17,480 --> 00:15:20,520
glass to see whether a branch 
had hit the house and the strong

285
00:15:20,520 --> 00:15:24,240
winds, and she lay back down. 
As she lay back down, she heard 

286
00:15:24,240 --> 00:15:28,000
a long whooping sound followed 
by a growl that seemed to mix 

287
00:15:28,000 --> 00:15:29,960
with, but not belong to, the 
wind. 

288
00:15:30,640 --> 00:15:33,280
She stood up again, pressed the 
flashlight against the glass, 

289
00:15:33,280 --> 00:15:35,080
and looked out toward the 
chicken coop. 

290
00:15:35,760 --> 00:15:39,360
There she saw a massive, dark, 
bipedal figure silhouetted 

291
00:15:39,360 --> 00:15:41,760
against the coop. 
She could not make out facial 

292
00:15:41,760 --> 00:15:43,920
features, but the figure 
appeared to be looking toward 

293
00:15:43,920 --> 00:15:47,240
the house before turning and 
striding quickly into the woods.

294
00:15:47,880 --> 00:15:51,600
Meanwhile, Stephen was upstairs 
in his bedroom, also listening 

295
00:15:51,600 --> 00:15:54,320
to the wind. 
He reported hearing a drawn out 

296
00:15:54,520 --> 00:15:57,800
whoop above the noise, which 
frightened him so much that he 

297
00:15:57,800 --> 00:16:00,800
chose not to get up. 
This happened simultaneously 

298
00:16:00,800 --> 00:16:03,960
with Michelle sighting. 
Michelle's two daughters were 

299
00:16:03,960 --> 00:16:06,280
downstairs with her and their 
children. 

300
00:16:06,720 --> 00:16:10,160
Earlier that night, unable to 
charge her phone inside, Colby 

301
00:16:10,160 --> 00:16:13,600
had gone to her car, turned it 
on and plugged in her phone. 

302
00:16:14,000 --> 00:16:17,040
As she sat there, she felt a 
overwhelming sense of being 

303
00:16:17,040 --> 00:16:19,360
watched and soon went back 
inside. 

304
00:16:19,760 --> 00:16:23,760
Later, when she returned to to 
retrieve the phone, she heard a 

305
00:16:23,760 --> 00:16:27,800
howl and saw a tall black 
Hawking figure standing in the 

306
00:16:27,800 --> 00:16:31,000
doorway of the chicken coop. 
Its head reached as high as the 

307
00:16:31,000 --> 00:16:34,680
gutters, approximately 8 to 8 
1/2 feet tall, and it was only 

308
00:16:34,680 --> 00:16:38,440
10 to 15 yards away. 
Terrified, she ran inside, told 

309
00:16:38,440 --> 00:16:42,400
her sister and told her sister 
Amber, there's a giant outside, 

310
00:16:43,040 --> 00:16:44,960
grabbed her baby and went 
upstairs. 

311
00:16:45,280 --> 00:16:48,840
Amber had only heard the sound 
but recalled it clearly, a loud 

312
00:16:48,960 --> 00:16:52,120
whooping noise followed by 
intense barking from the dogs. 

313
00:16:52,720 --> 00:16:55,960
Michelle is confident that what 
she saw was not a black bear. 

314
00:16:56,480 --> 00:16:59,880
A few years earlier, a sow and 
Cubs hide den on their property,

315
00:16:59,880 --> 00:17:02,280
and she was familiar with their 
appearance and behavior. 

316
00:17:02,760 --> 00:17:04,440
This figure was entirely 
different. 

317
00:17:05,040 --> 00:17:07,319
Over several months, the 
family's poultry numbers had 

318
00:17:07,359 --> 00:17:11,079
sharply declined from 30 
chickens and seven turkeys to 10

319
00:17:11,079 --> 00:17:14,839
chickens and 1 Turkey without 
finding bodies or blood. 

320
00:17:14,839 --> 00:17:19,599
They only scattered feathers. 
Wow, something has found a 

321
00:17:19,599 --> 00:17:22,160
buffet. 
It sounds like the property also

322
00:17:22,160 --> 00:17:25,079
includes apple trees and 
Raspberry trees by a pond near 

323
00:17:25,079 --> 00:17:27,800
the home. 
The family frequently throws 

324
00:17:27,880 --> 00:17:30,520
dinner scraps onto the grass for
cats and crows. 

325
00:17:30,960 --> 00:17:33,440
That sounds like maybe they had 
more than cats and crows showing

326
00:17:33,440 --> 00:17:36,360
up for those dinner scraps. 
These abundant food sources, 

327
00:17:36,680 --> 00:17:39,680
fruit, small birds and leftover 
scraps may have attracted a 

328
00:17:39,680 --> 00:17:43,920
Sasquatch With With the storm 
raging and human activity 

329
00:17:43,920 --> 00:17:47,280
limited, the creature may have 
believed it was a safe time to 

330
00:17:47,280 --> 00:17:49,880
scavenge. 
It was likely startled when it 

331
00:17:49,880 --> 00:17:53,680
encountered amber outside and 
retreated into the woods. 

332
00:17:54,880 --> 00:17:58,440
Wow, that is really something. 
And then it goes on here and 

333
00:17:58,440 --> 00:18:01,360
says note from BFR investigator 
Matt Moneymaker. 

334
00:18:01,680 --> 00:18:04,520
Several elements of this report 
suggest a possible attempt by 

335
00:18:04,520 --> 00:18:07,920
Sasquatch to make contact or 
seek assistance during the 

336
00:18:07,920 --> 00:18:11,080
severe weather event. 
These scenarios often occur on 

337
00:18:11,240 --> 00:18:14,560
properties where animals in 
nearby woods regularly hear 

338
00:18:14,560 --> 00:18:17,440
human females speaking 
affectionately to domesticated 

339
00:18:17,440 --> 00:18:19,880
animals. 
We discussed similar situations 

340
00:18:19,880 --> 00:18:23,400
during the TV series. 
The local geology includes large

341
00:18:23,400 --> 00:18:27,560
granite granite outcroppings, 
but no carst formations. 

342
00:18:28,000 --> 00:18:31,200
That's limestone caves. 
The rocky soil makes it nearly 

343
00:18:31,200 --> 00:18:34,200
impossible to dig a man sized 
Burrow and there are no deep 

344
00:18:34,200 --> 00:18:36,200
gorges to offer shelter from 
winter winds. 

345
00:18:36,680 --> 00:18:39,680
The only protection from the 
cold in this region comes from 

346
00:18:39,720 --> 00:18:41,920
dense brush and thick stands of 
trees. 

347
00:18:42,320 --> 00:18:45,560
Cedar thickets in particular can
create natural snow umbrellas 

348
00:18:46,000 --> 00:18:49,520
with dry def piles at their 
bases that can serve as 

349
00:18:49,520 --> 00:18:52,160
insulation. 
Without such cover, strong 

350
00:18:52,160 --> 00:18:54,800
freezing winds would likely 
drive large animals to keep 

351
00:18:54,800 --> 00:18:58,640
moving to stay warm. 
The Saskatch was probably taking

352
00:18:58,640 --> 00:19:01,280
chickens and turkeys from the 
crop from the coop over time, 

353
00:19:01,720 --> 00:19:04,400
using them as a fall back food 
source during difficult 

354
00:19:04,400 --> 00:19:07,280
conditions, especially during 
this brutal storm. 

355
00:19:07,920 --> 00:19:10,640
It was also possible that the 
creature was trying to get the 

356
00:19:10,640 --> 00:19:12,920
attention of the family inside, 
mostly women and children, 

357
00:19:13,240 --> 00:19:15,200
perceiving them as sympathetic 
to animals. 

358
00:19:15,560 --> 00:19:18,520
It may have sought help with 
food or shelter, as other 

359
00:19:18,520 --> 00:19:21,400
intelligent mammals sometimes do
during harsh conditions. 

360
00:19:21,880 --> 00:19:24,880
If a barn or shed had been 
available for refuge, it might 

361
00:19:24,880 --> 00:19:26,800
have entered to escape the 
freezing wind. 

362
00:19:27,120 --> 00:19:30,520
Sasquatch tracks have been found
leaving barns after winter 

363
00:19:30,520 --> 00:19:32,640
storms in the Midwest under 
similar conditions. 

364
00:19:33,120 --> 00:19:36,720
In rural areas prone to severe 
storms, that may be wise to 

365
00:19:36,720 --> 00:19:39,800
consider how our shelter space 
could be left open for a 

366
00:19:39,800 --> 00:19:41,320
distress. 
For distressed wildlife, 

367
00:19:41,320 --> 00:19:44,680
including Sasquatch during 
extreme weather, a barn or 

368
00:19:44,680 --> 00:19:47,920
outbuilding equipped with a 
simple Wi-Fi security camera 

369
00:19:48,360 --> 00:19:51,320
could yield remarkable footage 
as many animals will seek 

370
00:19:51,320 --> 00:19:54,960
shelter from deadly cold, even 
near human dwellings. 

371
00:19:56,160 --> 00:19:58,840
That's really neat. 
It says here that this Ontario 

372
00:19:58,840 --> 00:20:01,120
Richardson is a native of 
eastern Iowa. 

373
00:20:02,240 --> 00:20:04,040

Equipped for thermal imaging, 
audio recording, and track

Attended the 2023 and 2025 Iowa 

380
00:20:23,800 --> 00:20:29,680

Minnesota BFR expeditions, and 

381

24 Wisconsin BFRO Expedition, as
well as several private 

382
00:20:33,800 --> 00:20:37,040
expeditions. 
Recommended as a BFRO 

383
00:20:37,040 --> 00:20:40,640
investigator by expedition 
organizer Bob Barhai. 

384
00:20:41,840 --> 00:20:43,720
Pretty neat. 
I like the, I like the way they 

385
00:20:43,720 --> 00:20:46,520
really involve people in, in 
investigating this stuff. 

386
00:20:47,240 --> 00:20:49,520
Adds a lot of context to what 
we're seeing here. 

387
00:20:49,880 --> 00:20:51,840
We'll go ahead and do three more
of these and wrap this up. 

388
00:20:52,760 --> 00:20:56,760
This sighting was submitted on 
Tuesday, December 5th, 2002. 

389
00:20:56,760 --> 00:20:59,240
Men in the car see a hairy, 
upright animal on the side of 

390
00:20:59,240 --> 00:21:02,120
the road near Turner. 
Main sighting was actually 

391
00:21:02,120 --> 00:21:06,520
October 15th, 1986. 
Androscoggin County Main 

392
00:21:06,520 --> 00:21:09,600
location details. 
There used to be a club called 

393
00:21:09,600 --> 00:21:12,760
Circle Electric. 
There was a road just before it 

394
00:21:12,760 --> 00:21:15,840
when coming from the north. 
This road connected to another 

395
00:21:15,840 --> 00:21:18,880
and we took a left. 
About two miles down that road 

396
00:21:19,120 --> 00:21:23,120
is where we saw the animal. 
I believe it was route 117 

397
00:21:23,680 --> 00:21:27,000
nearest town Turner. 
Nearest road off route 4. 

398
00:21:27,240 --> 00:21:30,480
Observed my friend Tom and I 
were going to a club in Turner 

399
00:21:30,480 --> 00:21:32,800
Main and took a back Rd. to save
time. 

400
00:21:33,200 --> 00:21:35,840
The radio was turned up and we 
were just driving when we passed

401
00:21:35,840 --> 00:21:39,480
a very hairy animal standing 
upright on the side of the road.

402
00:21:40,160 --> 00:21:42,720
I estimate its height to be at 
least 6 feet and weighing 

403
00:21:42,720 --> 00:21:46,560
approximately £200. 
I immediately looked at Tom who 

404
00:21:46,560 --> 00:21:50,520
in turn looked at me and he said
that he had also just seen 

405
00:21:50,520 --> 00:21:52,560
something. 
It looked like it was about to 

406
00:21:52,560 --> 00:21:55,560
cross the road. 
When we got to the club we told 

407
00:21:55,560 --> 00:21:59,240
people what we had seen and they
said and they said that others 

408
00:21:59,240 --> 00:22:02,520
had also seen something in the 
area and even had a name for it.

409
00:22:03,320 --> 00:22:11,520
Loop Garou L0 0PG AROO Loop 
Garou Also notice others 

410
00:22:11,520 --> 00:22:13,120
reportedly saw something similar
in the area. 

411
00:22:13,120 --> 00:22:16,600
My friend Tom Drotter, who was 
driving also saw the animal. 

412
00:22:16,960 --> 00:22:20,160
Other stories There had been so 
many other sightings of the 

413
00:22:20,160 --> 00:22:22,920
animal that people in the area 
gave it the name. 

414
00:22:23,040 --> 00:22:25,440
Loop Garou and times and 
conditions. 

415
00:22:25,440 --> 00:22:27,520
It was a cool full night around 
50°. 

416
00:22:27,880 --> 00:22:30,800
It was dark about 8:00 PM 
environment. 

417
00:22:30,800 --> 00:22:33,880
The side of the road was lined 
with heavy pine and evergreens. 

418
00:22:34,240 --> 00:22:37,800
And then follow up investigation
by BFRO investigator John Perry 

419
00:22:38,200 --> 00:22:43,400
on April 12th, 2001. 
The witness added the following 

420
00:22:43,400 --> 00:22:46,200
information. 
The witness was the passenger. 

421
00:22:46,360 --> 00:22:49,920
Both the driver and the 
reporting witness saw the animal

422
00:22:49,920 --> 00:22:53,120
and immediately afterward 
confirmed with each other that 

423
00:22:53,120 --> 00:22:56,680
they had seen a Bigfoot. 
The witness stated that it 

424
00:22:56,680 --> 00:23:00,520
definitely wasn't a bear, moose,
or any other known animal and 

425
00:23:00,520 --> 00:23:04,400
that if it wasn't a Bigfoot then
it must have been a man in a fur

426
00:23:04,400 --> 00:23:07,760
suit. 
The hair was described as light 

427
00:23:07,760 --> 00:23:10,440
brown and very long hanging off 
of it. 

428
00:23:10,680 --> 00:23:15,400
The animal appeared to be in mid
stride, ready to cross the road.

429
00:23:15,640 --> 00:23:19,440
The area is rural with numerous 
agricultural fields. 

430
00:23:19,920 --> 00:23:23,000
The route number was likely 
Route 117. 

431
00:23:23,280 --> 00:23:27,680
Luke Garo is the phonetic 
spelling of Luke Guru, which is 

432
00:23:27,680 --> 00:23:31,800
French Fort Werewolf. 
Maine has a strong French 

433
00:23:31,920 --> 00:23:35,360
Canadian history. 
OK, well that makes sense then. 

434
00:23:35,760 --> 00:23:39,280
Then it says that John is a 
biologist from Maine, BFR 

435
00:23:39,280 --> 00:23:42,200
investigator John Perry. 
Very cool sighting. 

436
00:23:42,200 --> 00:23:44,920
Just driving along and there it 
is, just standing along the side

437
00:23:44,920 --> 00:23:47,800
of the road, I guess looking to 
cross that road. 

438
00:23:48,000 --> 00:23:49,360
Very cool. 
And we'll do two more here. 

439
00:23:49,720 --> 00:23:53,840
This next sighting is actually a
series of sightings submitted on

440
00:23:53,840 --> 00:23:56,240
January 1st, 1998. 
It says that these took place 

441
00:23:56,240 --> 00:23:59,280
over three days. 
This is a summer of 1973 in 

442
00:23:59,280 --> 00:24:01,560
July.

location details Shiloh Lisbon 
Falls Rd. near Brunswick, ME, 

444
00:24:06,560 --> 00:24:10,920
half a mile from the Huntington 
home in Durham, ME and then it 

445
00:24:10,920 --> 00:24:15,640
says near Durham Road in the 
Jones Cemetery, Durham, ME River

446
00:24:15,640 --> 00:24:18,680
Road near the Jones cemetery at 
the Durham Brunswick main line

and behind the Jones cemetery at
the Durham Brunswick main line. 

448
00:24:23,120 --> 00:24:25,160
Observed #1 This is the first 
sighting. 

449
00:24:25,520 --> 00:24:30,200
Misses Huntington reported after
her own sighting #3 the 

450
00:24:30,200 --> 00:24:33,440
following day that her daughters
had seen the animals three or 

451
00:24:33,440 --> 00:24:36,560
four times. 
The first sighting involved 4 

452
00:24:36,600 --> 00:24:39,800
youngsters on bicycles. 
The three Huntington children, 

453
00:24:40,120 --> 00:24:43,560
Louis Huntington, 13, George 
Huntington Junior, 10, and Scott

454
00:24:43,560 --> 00:24:48,280
Huntington, 8, and their friend 
Tammy Serio, 12, were riding 

455
00:24:48,280 --> 00:24:51,160
along the road about a half a 
mile from the Huntington home. 

456
00:24:51,720 --> 00:24:55,120
They matter of factly reported 
an encounter with what they 

457
00:24:55,120 --> 00:24:59,080
described as a chimpanzee, 
Misses Huntington later told 

458
00:24:59,080 --> 00:25:01,160
reporters. 
My 13 year old daughter fell off

459
00:25:01,160 --> 00:25:05,480
her bike about 3 feet from him 
and all he did was cock his head

460
00:25:05,480 --> 00:25:08,320
and look at her. 
It was described as upright and 

461
00:25:08,320 --> 00:25:11,320
chimpanzee like. 
The quiet, intelligent and 

462
00:25:11,320 --> 00:25:14,120
reserved Louis reportedly told 
the main Sunday Telegram. 

463
00:25:14,680 --> 00:25:18,240
I fell right down in front of 
him and all he did was look at 

464
00:25:18,240 --> 00:25:20,880
me. 
I would have known if it will, 

465
00:25:20,960 --> 00:25:23,960
if it were a hippie or 
something, but it had a regular 

466
00:25:23,960 --> 00:25:26,320
monkey face. 
You've seen a monkey before, 

467
00:25:26,320 --> 00:25:31,520
haven't you? 
A gorilla like animal that says 

468
00:25:31,520 --> 00:25:34,320
standing on his hind legs was 
observed two or three times by a

469
00:25:34,320 --> 00:25:38,400
man named James Washburn. 
Officers searching the area 

470
00:25:38,400 --> 00:25:43,360
found moose and deer tracks #3 
Mrs. George Miota Huntington, 

471
00:25:43,440 --> 00:25:47,160
33, of Lisbon Falls Rd. 
Durham, was driving home from a 

472
00:25:47,160 --> 00:25:51,080
baseball game when she saw the 
ape peeking out from the bushes 

473
00:25:51,080 --> 00:25:53,760
on Durham Road. 
It was about 20 feet away and 

474
00:25:53,760 --> 00:25:57,400
made a mad dash on 2 legs into 
the heavily wooded area. 

475
00:25:57,800 --> 00:26:00,840
Her exact description of the 
creature was that it stood a 

476
00:26:00,840 --> 00:26:04,800
little over 5 feet tall, had a 
shaggy black coat and weighed 

477
00:26:04,800 --> 00:26:08,480
about £350. 
She said it had a monkey face 

478
00:26:08,480 --> 00:26:11,880
and appeared chimp like. 
She coasted her vehicle so as 

479
00:26:11,880 --> 00:26:15,520
not to scare it, but when it 
apparently saw her car, it ran 

480
00:26:15,520 --> 00:26:18,240
into the woods. 
She reportedly saw it twice 

481
00:26:18,240 --> 00:26:21,360
during this incident, once 
initially and again after 

482
00:26:21,360 --> 00:26:23,840
returning with neighbors to 
search the area. 

483
00:26:24,400 --> 00:26:26,880
She stayed in her car as others 
searched the woods. 

484
00:26:27,240 --> 00:26:30,200
While sitting in her vehicle, 
she saw it again, peering at her

485
00:26:30,200 --> 00:26:33,560
from the crotch of a tree. 
Soon after, police were 

486
00:26:33,560 --> 00:26:36,440
notified. 
Responding agencies included the

487
00:26:36,800 --> 00:26:39,760
Androscoggin County Sheriff's 
Department, Cumberland County 

488
00:26:39,760 --> 00:26:42,440
Sheriff's Department, Maine 
State Police, and Maine game 

489
00:26:42,440 --> 00:26:45,120
wardens. 
Altogether, more than thirty 

490
00:26:45,120 --> 00:26:49,440
officers and 30 patrol cars 
searched for the animal for two 

491
00:26:49,440 --> 00:26:51,480
hours. 
A helicopter was used in 

492
00:26:51,480 --> 00:26:53,520
searches conducted over the 
following days. 

493
00:26:53,760 --> 00:26:56,800
Tracks found near a cemetery, 
though not directly associated 

494
00:26:56,800 --> 00:27:00,080
with the sighting, looked human,
but a claws appearing to be from

495
00:27:00,080 --> 00:27:02,400
a bear. 
That night, some officers 

496
00:27:02,400 --> 00:27:05,720
initially dismissed the incident
as a bear sighting, but this 

497
00:27:05,720 --> 00:27:08,280
opinion later changed, 
Huntington commented. 

498
00:27:08,320 --> 00:27:10,040
They make it out to be a 
monster. 

499
00:27:10,200 --> 00:27:15,160
I never said it was a monster #4
By Friday, July 27th, 1973, 

500
00:27:15,520 --> 00:27:18,360
several additional witnesses 
came forward claiming to have 

501
00:27:18,360 --> 00:27:22,120
seen the creature. 
At 7:30 PM, Peter and Jean 

502
00:27:22,120 --> 00:27:25,680
Merrill discovered a footprint 
behind the Jones Cemetery, the 

503
00:27:25,680 --> 00:27:28,600
site of most of the sightings. 
They said it looked like a 

504
00:27:28,640 --> 00:27:31,720
chimpanzee print. 
Androscoggin County Deputy 

505
00:27:31,720 --> 00:27:35,080
Sheriff Blaine Footman examined 
a series of prints and cast one 

506
00:27:35,080 --> 00:27:37,240
that was described as rather 
deep. 

507
00:27:37,320 --> 00:27:41,600
Footman said it was about 5 
inches wide with the thumb part 

508
00:27:41,600 --> 00:27:44,760
broken off. 
Whatever made it weighs 300 to 

509
00:27:44,760 --> 00:27:47,120
£350 and I can't tell you much 
more. 

510
00:27:47,440 --> 00:27:48,960
It's definitely not a bear 
track. 

511
00:27:49,240 --> 00:27:52,160
I don't know what's going on in 
here and I'm rather not 

512
00:27:52,520 --> 00:27:55,920
expressed an opinion. 
Reports surfaced at a grill suit

513
00:27:56,200 --> 00:27:59,200
rented from a Portland area 
costume shop had not been 

514
00:27:59,200 --> 00:28:02,040
returned since March, but 
authorities in central Maine did

515
00:28:02,040 --> 00:28:04,600
not consider this particularly 
relevant to these incidents. 

516
00:28:05,080 --> 00:28:10,160
By Saturday, July 28th, 1973, 
after numerous phone calls from 

517
00:28:10,160 --> 00:28:13,720
officers confirming they had 
seen an unusual animal in area, 

518
00:28:14,080 --> 00:28:17,000
police were taking the sightings
very seriously. 

519
00:28:18,520 --> 00:28:21,280
Man, isn't that something else? 
And then it says other 

520
00:28:21,280 --> 00:28:22,760
witnesses. 
See above. 

521
00:28:22,760 --> 00:28:24,880
The Huntington children and 
their friend were riding bikes 

522
00:28:24,880 --> 00:28:27,160
to the home. 
Washburn's activities were not 

523
00:28:27,160 --> 00:28:29,480
specified and Misses Huntington 
was driving home from a local 

524
00:28:29,480 --> 00:28:32,560
baseball game. 
And then it goes ahead and gives

525
00:28:32,560 --> 00:28:35,720
the sources here. 
Multiple newspaper reports on 

526
00:28:35,720 --> 00:28:38,520
this and that lists the time and
it says that as far as 

527
00:28:38,520 --> 00:28:42,720
environment, approximately 95% 
of mainland area is forested and

528
00:28:42,720 --> 00:28:46,400
this region is no exception. 
The River Rd. area is heavily 

529
00:28:46,400 --> 00:28:49,600
wooded and close to a watershed.
As the name applies. 

530
00:28:50,000 --> 00:28:54,280
The area is sparsely populated 
with a few houses, a cemetery, 

531
00:28:54,280 --> 00:28:57,840
paved roads and nearby wildlife 
preserves supporting native 

532
00:28:57,840 --> 00:29:00,960
birds and deer. 
That's really neat. 

533
00:29:00,960 --> 00:29:03,640
Even though it's been, what, 50 
years ago or something? 

534
00:29:04,280 --> 00:29:07,720
Yeah, very, very cool. 
That's just a whole lot of 

535
00:29:07,720 --> 00:29:10,280
witnesses are seeing this, 
saying, OK, we'll do one last 

536
00:29:10,280 --> 00:29:13,440
one. 
This last sighting looks like it

537
00:29:13,440 --> 00:29:16,240
was submitted February 10th, 
2022. 

538
00:29:16,240 --> 00:29:20,080
Sisters see dark, shaggy haired 
bipedal creature standing in the

539
00:29:20,080 --> 00:29:22,040
middle of the road. 
Now it's actually happened. 

540
00:29:22,040 --> 00:29:25,240
It says in 1996 or 97 they're 
not sure. 

541
00:29:25,600 --> 00:29:28,480
The state was Maine. 
Hancock County nearest town 

542
00:29:28,520 --> 00:29:32,800
Bucksport Route 46 observed. 
My sister and I were driving to 

543
00:29:32,800 --> 00:29:36,400
school 1 morning a few years ago
when we both saw something 

544
00:29:36,400 --> 00:29:38,280
standing in the middle of the 
road ahead. 

545
00:29:38,800 --> 00:29:42,520
It was definitely on 2 feet 
watching as we approached. 

546
00:29:43,040 --> 00:29:46,200
As we got closer, we could tell 
that the creature was about the 

547
00:29:46,200 --> 00:29:50,200
size of a human, covered with 
very dark shaggy hair and 

548
00:29:50,200 --> 00:29:52,920
slightly hunched over with his 
arms hanging down quite far. 

549
00:29:53,360 --> 00:29:56,240
It stood about a foot or two 
into the road staring at us. 

550
00:29:56,560 --> 00:30:00,040
Then almost as quickly as it 
happened, it vanished into the 

551
00:30:00,040 --> 00:30:02,520
trees. 
When we drove by, I looked into 

552
00:30:02,520 --> 00:30:05,080
the forest to see if I could 
spot it again, but there was 

553
00:30:05,080 --> 00:30:07,280
nothing. 
We went to school and told a few

554
00:30:07,280 --> 00:30:09,680
friends and later that night we 
told her parents. 

555
00:30:10,120 --> 00:30:12,480
We didn't think to call the 
police at the time though. 

556
00:30:12,480 --> 00:30:15,680
I wish we had. 
When we tell people about it, 

557
00:30:15,680 --> 00:30:18,280
they never believe us because 
most people don't believe in big

558
00:30:18,280 --> 00:30:20,480
fed. 
I'm glad this site exists so 

559
00:30:20,480 --> 00:30:22,920
that someone might finally 
believe our story. 

560
00:30:23,520 --> 00:30:26,600
I know what we saw was real and 
I know it wasn't a bear. 

561
00:30:26,800 --> 00:30:30,440
Bears aren't shaped like humans 
and rarely walk upright for 

562
00:30:30,440 --> 00:30:32,440
long. 
That's a fact. 

563
00:30:32,840 --> 00:30:35,640
I says it was just me and my 
sister and we were headed to 

564
00:30:35,640 --> 00:30:36,520
school. 
At the stories. 

565
00:30:36,520 --> 00:30:39,360
I thought I should also mention 
another incident that might be 

566
00:30:39,360 --> 00:30:41,760
related. 
I was driving with my dad in 

567
00:30:41,760 --> 00:30:45,280
Orrington at Maine and as we 
passed a road I saw something 

568
00:30:45,280 --> 00:30:47,640
crossing it. 
We were moving quickly so I 

569
00:30:47,640 --> 00:30:50,240
couldn't make out much detail 
but it looked tall and very 

570
00:30:50,240 --> 00:30:52,520
dark. 
It could have been a bear, but 

571
00:30:52,800 --> 00:30:55,680
if so it would have it would 
have had to been standing 

572
00:30:55,680 --> 00:30:58,000
upright. 
I asked my dad to turn around 

573
00:30:58,000 --> 00:31:01,360
and we slowly drove back up the 
road, looking into the woods 

574
00:31:01,360 --> 00:31:03,880
along both sides. 
We didn't see anything. 

575
00:31:04,200 --> 00:31:07,720
Whatever it was had disappeared.
Now that I think back about it, 

576
00:31:07,720 --> 00:31:10,360
the figure I saw on Orrington 
seemed very similar to what I 

577
00:31:10,360 --> 00:31:13,440
saw earlier in Bucksport. 
I'm not saying for sure it was a

578
00:31:13,440 --> 00:31:16,080
Bigfoot, but it's certainly 
resembled the same type of 

579
00:31:16,080 --> 00:31:18,360
creature. 
I'd almost forgotten about that 

580
00:31:18,360 --> 00:31:22,240
incident since I never had an 
explanation for it and was the 

581
00:31:22,320 --> 00:31:26,120
only one who saw it, so there 
was no one to discuss it with 

582
00:31:27,160 --> 00:31:29,160
since time and conditions. 
It was during the school year, 

583
00:31:29,160 --> 00:31:31,680
so not summer. 
There was no snow, so I don't 

584
00:31:31,680 --> 00:31:33,960
think it was winter. 
Must have been either fall or 

585
00:31:33,960 --> 00:31:36,040
spring. 
Environment at rural roads 

586
00:31:36,040 --> 00:31:38,840
surrounded by forest near 
White's apple orchard. 

587
00:31:39,360 --> 00:31:42,440
Well, apple orchards do seem to 
be a hot spot for these things, 

588
00:31:42,440 --> 00:31:44,080
I suppose. 
Just a lot of free food there 

589
00:31:44,080 --> 00:31:47,480
they can go in and feast on. 
Yeah, some really cool sightings

590
00:31:47,480 --> 00:31:50,440
out of Maine. 
Lot of timber up in that area. 

591
00:31:50,440 --> 00:31:53,240
So I guess I would expect these 
things to be there. 

592
00:31:53,600 --> 00:31:55,280
Hey, if you like the program, 
don't forget to hit like,

Doesn't cost a dime. 

594
00:31:57,480 --> 00:32:00,080
Until next time. 
This is UFO WARNING over and 

595
00:32:00,080 --> 00:32:00,280
out.
