1 00:00:03,160 --> 00:00:05,480 Hello and welcome to the program UFO Morning. 2 00:00:05,480 --> 00:00:09,400 In this episode, we're talking about a main Bigfoot roundup. 3 00:00:09,480 --> 00:00:11,960 That's correct, a main Bigfoot roundup. 4 00:00:12,840 --> 00:00:18,680 We're finding these stories over at bfro.net. bfro.net, that's 5 00:00:18,680 --> 00:00:21,200 Bigfoot field researchers organization. 6 00:00:21,200 --> 00:00:23,200 They do such phenomenal work over there. 7 00:00:23,720 --> 00:00:27,960 This first sighting that we're looking at happened in 2020. 8 00:00:27,960 --> 00:00:31,560 It says October and October 19th actually. 9 00:00:32,000 --> 00:00:36,920 And this is in put up a Scott County location details It says 10 00:00:37,560 --> 00:00:42,760 heavily wooded wilderness miles off Route 2 into the old logging 11 00:00:42,760 --> 00:00:46,120 camps. Large property near the end of 12 00:00:46,120 --> 00:00:51,200 Cedar Ridge Rd. nearest town Greenbush, nearest road Route 2 13 00:00:51,560 --> 00:00:53,520 and I'd had to do a little bit of editing on some of these just 14 00:00:53,520 --> 00:00:56,400 to make it more readable. But these fast things are great. 15 00:00:56,600 --> 00:00:59,640 This experience here tells us that they say. 16 00:00:59,640 --> 00:01:03,240 I was not in any way aware that these creatures existed in 17 00:01:03,240 --> 00:01:05,960 Maine. Firstly, I am from Connecticut, 18 00:01:06,360 --> 00:01:10,480 however, I have spent years in desolate oil fields across the 19 00:01:10,720 --> 00:01:14,560 US, including places like West TX, the Upper Peninsula of 20 00:01:14,560 --> 00:01:16,680 Michigan, and the Everglades of Florida. 21 00:01:17,160 --> 00:01:20,160 I have a vast knowledge of wildlife as I have always taken 22 00:01:20,160 --> 00:01:22,760 an interest in it and spent years in the forest. 23 00:01:23,120 --> 00:01:26,960 My point is, what I experienced this day has shaken me to the 24 00:01:26,960 --> 00:01:31,880 core as I know my encounter was nothing normal in the Northwoods 25 00:01:31,880 --> 00:01:33,720 of Maine. In a town called Greenbush, 26 00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:38,200 population 1400, I purchased 80 acres of wilderness with virgin 27 00:01:38,200 --> 00:01:42,400 forest on the back half of the lot, meaning not even loggers 28 00:01:42,400 --> 00:01:44,240 have been there, it's that desolate. 29 00:01:44,680 --> 00:01:48,120 I had rented an excavator and for this entire day I had been 30 00:01:48,120 --> 00:01:52,040 cutting a road through small pills and forest to a high hill 31 00:01:52,400 --> 00:01:56,400 I call Hope Hill on the most desolate corner of my land where 32 00:01:56,400 --> 00:01:59,920 I want to build my cabin. I had made it halfway, and in 33 00:01:59,920 --> 00:02:02,120 the swamp I realized I was out of fuel. 34 00:02:02,520 --> 00:02:04,520 I shut down the machine and got out. 35 00:02:05,000 --> 00:02:09,240 I stepped down onto the road, admiring my work and relishing 36 00:02:09,240 --> 00:02:11,480 the idea of pioneering this new path. 37 00:02:11,920 --> 00:02:16,200 Suddenly, about 50 yards into the tree line, I heard a bang 38 00:02:16,240 --> 00:02:19,480 with a stick on a tree. It sounded like somebody was 39 00:02:19,480 --> 00:02:24,240 hitting a wooden bat against a large tree trunk as a percussion 40 00:02:24,240 --> 00:02:28,280 was unmistakable. At first I thought, oh crap, 41 00:02:28,480 --> 00:02:32,160 there is a moose because it is mating season for them and they 42 00:02:32,160 --> 00:02:35,840 are known to ram their antlers against trees to intimidate 43 00:02:35,840 --> 00:02:38,800 their foes. Suddenly the sound happened 44 00:02:38,800 --> 00:02:41,640 again. Now I was certain this was no 45 00:02:41,640 --> 00:02:43,840 moose as no branches were breaking. 46 00:02:44,240 --> 00:02:46,880 There was no movement, no grunts, nothing. 47 00:02:47,160 --> 00:02:50,720 Just this wooden thump just through the trees where I 48 00:02:50,720 --> 00:02:54,320 couldn't see. I began walking further away 49 00:02:54,320 --> 00:02:56,160 because I was obviously freaked out. 50 00:02:56,520 --> 00:02:58,160 Again. I heard two knocks. 51 00:02:58,600 --> 00:03:01,920 I grabbed a large branch I had just ripped down with the 52 00:03:01,920 --> 00:03:04,080 machine. I smacked it against a large 53 00:03:04,080 --> 00:03:06,680 tree trunk. Immediately I received a knock 54 00:03:06,680 --> 00:03:09,640 in response. I waited around 45 seconds. 55 00:03:09,920 --> 00:03:13,280 I knocked again and bang and knocked right back after me 56 00:03:13,280 --> 00:03:15,720 again. I knocked again 5 seconds later 57 00:03:16,040 --> 00:03:18,160 and it responded again right back. 58 00:03:18,560 --> 00:03:22,160 Now I was shaking because I knew what I presumed this creature to 59 00:03:22,160 --> 00:03:24,920 be. It was obviously strong because 60 00:03:24,920 --> 00:03:27,120 the bang was very loud and intimidating. 61 00:03:27,480 --> 00:03:30,800 I knew there was a certainty I was interacting with the 62 00:03:30,800 --> 00:03:33,640 Sasquatch. I went back to my trailer on my 63 00:03:33,640 --> 00:03:36,960 quad which was parked about 200 feet down the trail. 64 00:03:37,520 --> 00:03:39,920 I flew home. I calmed down. 65 00:03:40,320 --> 00:03:44,120 Now I was questioning reality and was quite scared. 66 00:03:44,120 --> 00:03:47,760 I guess this is my land I'm only halfway through making in the 67 00:03:47,760 --> 00:03:49,520 road. These are my thoughts. 68 00:03:49,520 --> 00:03:52,800 So I decided to ride back. I knocked again. 69 00:03:52,960 --> 00:03:56,360 It responded. I took my phone out, turned on 70 00:03:56,360 --> 00:04:00,480 the video recording, knocked and it went away almost as if it 71 00:04:00,480 --> 00:04:04,480 knew I was recording. Regardless, it was incredibly 72 00:04:04,480 --> 00:04:07,520 perplexing. I got back on the quad and went 73 00:04:07,520 --> 00:04:10,840 back home knowing for sure what I just experienced was 74 00:04:10,840 --> 00:04:15,240 legitimate. I body feather bead string thing 75 00:04:15,240 --> 00:04:18,800 from a dreamcatcher and brought it out there as a gift. 76 00:04:19,279 --> 00:04:22,560 It's been there three days. I haven't gone back to see if 77 00:04:22,560 --> 00:04:25,760 it's still there it says. Also noticed none of the 78 00:04:25,760 --> 00:04:28,600 witnesses myself. Other stories. 79 00:04:28,600 --> 00:04:32,320 No time and conditions around 4:00 PM and light dry and clear 80 00:04:32,320 --> 00:04:33,880 conditions. Environment. 81 00:04:33,880 --> 00:04:37,760 Pine forest near lowland swamps and streams that connect the 82 00:04:37,760 --> 00:04:40,720 Pinnavasket River via Broombridge Brook. 83 00:04:41,200 --> 00:04:43,840 What an amazing sighting. I mean, it sounds like this 84 00:04:43,840 --> 00:04:48,000 guy's out there trying to homestead some ground and this 85 00:04:48,240 --> 00:04:51,680 Bigfoot has already been there. He's like saying hey, this is my 86 00:04:51,680 --> 00:04:54,360 place. What are you doing to talk about 87 00:04:54,360 --> 00:04:55,880 the investigator here? It says the follow up 88 00:04:55,880 --> 00:05:00,120 investigation report by BFRO investigator Matthew Moneymaker. 89 00:05:00,520 --> 00:05:03,280 I spoke with the witness. He is very credible. 90 00:05:03,720 --> 00:05:06,360 The relevant details are contained in his report. 91 00:05:07,000 --> 00:05:09,760 The sounds could only have been Sasquatch wood knocks. 92 00:05:10,160 --> 00:05:13,240 He will contact us if he hears or sees anything else. 93 00:05:13,680 --> 00:05:17,040 And that tells us a little bit about the investigator, Matthew 94 00:05:17,040 --> 00:05:19,920 money maker. Very, very cool sighting. 95 00:05:20,240 --> 00:05:22,400 Let's go on and take a look. This next one here from Maine. 96 00:05:23,200 --> 00:05:27,720 Now this next encounter is a little further W from Greenbush. 97 00:05:27,720 --> 00:05:30,920 We just talked about this isn't Greenwood Maine near there. 98 00:05:30,920 --> 00:05:34,880 It says which would be the East Central part of the state as 99 00:05:34,880 --> 00:05:38,360 opposed to more of the southeast central part of the state. 100 00:05:39,640 --> 00:05:42,080 Both these look like they're pretty much rural areas. 101 00:05:42,640 --> 00:05:46,160 It says it happened in August of 2022. 102 00:05:46,840 --> 00:05:50,480 The state, of course, main county, Oxford County location 103 00:05:50,480 --> 00:05:54,280 details all incidents occurred while fishing Overset Pond in 104 00:05:54,280 --> 00:05:58,000 Greenwood, Maine. And then it tells us here the 105 00:05:58,000 --> 00:06:01,000 nearest town, Greenwood Patch Mountain Rd. 106 00:06:01,320 --> 00:06:05,080 If we look at what the experience you had to say, they 107 00:06:05,080 --> 00:06:06,680 tell us. During the spring and summer of 108 00:06:06,680 --> 00:06:10,880 2022, I discovered a new favorite remote trout pond not 109 00:06:10,880 --> 00:06:14,200 far from my camp. This pond is roughly one mile 110 00:06:14,200 --> 00:06:17,320 hike to access hiking trails are present. 111 00:06:17,320 --> 00:06:21,680 However, in the roughly 20 + * I visited this pond, I saw a total 112 00:06:21,680 --> 00:06:25,440 of five other people, two pairs of hikers and one other lone 113 00:06:25,440 --> 00:06:28,800 fishermen. This pond is notorious for wind, 114 00:06:28,800 --> 00:06:31,160 so I would only visit it on calm days. 115 00:06:31,480 --> 00:06:35,000 The more I visited the pond, the more I noticed odd occurrences. 116 00:06:35,000 --> 00:06:39,000 I had never heard a tree fall in the woods until I started going 117 00:06:39,000 --> 00:06:41,640 there. During my visits to this pond, I 118 00:06:41,640 --> 00:06:45,640 heard five tree falls, although it should be noted that I saw 119 00:06:45,920 --> 00:06:49,240 none of them. In addition to this, I heard an 120 00:06:49,240 --> 00:06:52,200 innumerable number of tree knocks during my visits. 121 00:06:52,840 --> 00:06:56,120 My first visits here started in April and ended in August. 122 00:06:56,520 --> 00:06:58,880 The activity grew greater as the summer progressed. 123 00:06:59,240 --> 00:07:03,200 I noted how odd the coincidence of the tree falls was but 124 00:07:03,200 --> 00:07:06,160 thought nothing of it until one of my final visits. 125 00:07:06,800 --> 00:07:10,280 The peak of activity was during this visit in mid August where I 126 00:07:10,280 --> 00:07:14,000 heard two trees fall. This picked my attention away 127 00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:16,840 from fishing and on to what was going on around me. 128 00:07:17,720 --> 00:07:20,880 I noticed on this trip that every time I paddled to the 129 00:07:20,880 --> 00:07:24,120 North End of the pond I was met with tree knocks. 130 00:07:24,680 --> 00:07:28,680 This continued until I noticed the midsection of a Birch tree 131 00:07:28,840 --> 00:07:31,440 leaned up against another tree on the water's edge. 132 00:07:32,000 --> 00:07:35,560 I'd paddled up and down the pond at least 100 times over the 133 00:07:35,560 --> 00:07:39,240 course of the spring and summer, and I had only now noticed a 134 00:07:39,240 --> 00:07:41,960 Birch tree. I felt as though it had been 135 00:07:42,320 --> 00:07:45,040 placed there while I was on the South side of the pond. 136 00:07:45,640 --> 00:07:49,600 As I was examining the tree from my canoe, I again heard tree 137 00:07:49,600 --> 00:07:52,160 knocks. I then paddled back to the South 138 00:07:52,160 --> 00:07:55,840 end and fished there until light began to fade and got ready to 139 00:07:55,840 --> 00:07:59,720 hike out near the pond. Large rocks block the trail to 140 00:07:59,720 --> 00:08:03,840 ensure no ATVs can drive directly to the pond on those 141 00:08:03,840 --> 00:08:06,720 rocks. On these rocks set a perfectly 142 00:08:06,720 --> 00:08:10,440 intact Birch tree scan. I am not convinced a person 143 00:08:10,720 --> 00:08:14,600 couldn't have done these things. However, given the proximity of 144 00:08:14,600 --> 00:08:18,040 my experiences to another sighting on this website, I felt 145 00:08:18,040 --> 00:08:21,160 I should report them. I never had any weird 146 00:08:21,160 --> 00:08:23,880 occurrences while hiking in, out, or around the pond. 147 00:08:24,400 --> 00:08:27,200 Only when I was on the pond fishing. 148 00:08:27,680 --> 00:08:30,400 Also noticed I had an odd bear encounter. 149 00:08:30,760 --> 00:08:33,840 The bear was small and just stood on all fours in the middle 150 00:08:33,840 --> 00:08:36,600 of the trail. This was odd because not only 151 00:08:36,600 --> 00:08:40,640 are bears rare in this area, but I was also making noise 152 00:08:40,799 --> 00:08:43,039 specifically to keep any bears away. 153 00:08:43,480 --> 00:08:46,760 It was just weird behavior from the bear there. 154 00:08:46,760 --> 00:08:50,360 One of the witnesses, just me, I have I have a photo of the Birch 155 00:08:50,360 --> 00:08:53,680 tree skin. And yes, I read about a sighting 156 00:08:53,680 --> 00:08:56,720 on this website that occurred in 2020 very close to here. 157 00:08:57,080 --> 00:09:01,280 It gives the time and condition as daytime afternoon clear sky, 158 00:09:01,280 --> 00:09:05,240 low wind and the environment is thick forest to the West, small 159 00:09:05,240 --> 00:09:09,720 swampy areas on both the North and South sides of the pond that 160 00:09:09,720 --> 00:09:13,240 turn rapidly to thick forest. The east edge is blocked by a 161 00:09:13,240 --> 00:09:17,320 giant 500 foot Cliff face and boulder field. 162 00:09:17,920 --> 00:09:20,840 What sounds really remote. Very cool sighting. 163 00:09:20,840 --> 00:09:24,840 So it's almost as if this guy is back there fishing this secluded 164 00:09:24,840 --> 00:09:28,720 pond and maybe this Bigfoot or Bigfoot family or whatever. 165 00:09:28,720 --> 00:09:30,360 It continues to be their property. 166 00:09:31,120 --> 00:09:33,600 Another case where they seem to be warning this guy off. 167 00:09:34,280 --> 00:09:39,240 This next sighting occurred looks like November 12th, 2020 168 00:09:40,320 --> 00:09:43,480 in Hancock County. It says that the nearest town is 169 00:09:43,480 --> 00:09:45,720 Osborne. Now I looked this town up, 170 00:09:46,040 --> 00:09:49,720 population 65, looks like it's about a third of the way between 171 00:09:49,720 --> 00:09:52,480 Bangor, ME and the coast, So up there in the kind of the 172 00:09:52,480 --> 00:09:56,920 northeast central part of the state, says location details 173 00:09:56,920 --> 00:10:00,440 Spectacle Pond West of Kingman Brook. 174 00:10:00,920 --> 00:10:04,480 If we're looking to see what the experiencer had to say, they 175 00:10:04,480 --> 00:10:06,960 tell us that I have spent a large part of my life in the 176 00:10:06,960 --> 00:10:10,600 woods between Eddington, where I grew up, and Deploit, where my 177 00:10:10,600 --> 00:10:13,440 grandfather built a hunting and fishing camp in the 1920s. 178 00:10:14,120 --> 00:10:16,800 I have been everywhere in between hunting, fishing, 179 00:10:16,800 --> 00:10:19,560 camping and hiking. I have walked those woods since 180 00:10:19,560 --> 00:10:22,480 I was four years old and I am now 61. 181 00:10:22,840 --> 00:10:26,160 I know the deer, moose, bear and other wildlife of those woods. 182 00:10:26,560 --> 00:10:30,080 I built my camp on Spectacle Pond in Osborne in 1988. 183 00:10:30,520 --> 00:10:33,280 Over the years I have spent a lot of time exploring the woods 184 00:10:33,280 --> 00:10:37,000 and waters around the camp and know the area between Route 179 185 00:10:37,000 --> 00:10:41,480 and Route 193 better than most and within 10 miles of my camp 186 00:10:41,720 --> 00:10:45,520 better than anyone. Since 2008, when I retired from 187 00:10:45,520 --> 00:10:48,920 the US Navy, I have spent one month every year at my camp. 188 00:10:49,040 --> 00:10:52,440 Between two weeks in May fishing and two weeks in November 189 00:10:52,440 --> 00:10:55,960 hunting, I have spent many days and nights in the most remote 190 00:10:55,960 --> 00:11:00,000 areas of that part of Maine. On the evening of November 12th, 191 00:11:00,160 --> 00:11:04,320 2020, my wife and I had returned to our camp after an afternoon 192 00:11:04,320 --> 00:11:06,680 deer hunt. It was dark by the time we got 193 00:11:06,680 --> 00:11:10,000 back to camp and I settled in for a routine evening and 194 00:11:10,000 --> 00:11:14,200 warming up the camp supper, a couple of hands of cribbage and 195 00:11:14,200 --> 00:11:17,160 talking. We had been at camp for 10 days. 196 00:11:17,360 --> 00:11:21,640 At around 8:30 my wife decided to go to bed as we planned to 197 00:11:21,640 --> 00:11:24,720 hunt the next morning. I picked up my book and was 198 00:11:24,720 --> 00:11:27,920 reading until 10:30, the only light within half a mile. 199 00:11:27,920 --> 00:11:32,080 My camp was a single gas light in the front room which I was 200 00:11:32,080 --> 00:11:34,720 using to read. The nearest people were half a 201 00:11:34,720 --> 00:11:37,320 mile away in their camp back toward Route 9. 202 00:11:38,040 --> 00:11:41,520 I decided to call tonight at 10:30 and wanted to relieve 203 00:11:41,520 --> 00:11:44,880 myself before going to bed, so I went outside across the porch, 204 00:11:45,000 --> 00:11:48,200 down the front steps and walked approximately 15 feet to the 205 00:11:48,200 --> 00:11:52,000 back outside corner of the camp. Within seconds of standing in 206 00:11:52,000 --> 00:11:56,880 that spot, there were two very loud thwack sounds just inside 207 00:11:56,880 --> 00:12:00,640 the wood line which is 15 yards across the backyard. 208 00:12:01,480 --> 00:12:04,600 It took me by surprise as I've never heard that sound before 209 00:12:05,040 --> 00:12:06,640 completely by myself in the woods. 210 00:12:07,120 --> 00:12:10,240 It sounded identical to someone taking a large stick of firewood 211 00:12:10,240 --> 00:12:12,120 and hitting a tree in full swing. 212 00:12:12,760 --> 00:12:16,400 I could easily replicate that noise by knocking snow or ice 213 00:12:16,400 --> 00:12:18,720 off firewood against the tree, but with force. 214 00:12:19,120 --> 00:12:22,120 I did not have a flashlight with me, as the diffused light from 215 00:12:22,120 --> 00:12:25,240 the gaslight inside the camp gave me enough point of 216 00:12:25,240 --> 00:12:28,360 reference to get back inside, so I didn't think to bring one. 217 00:12:29,160 --> 00:12:32,800 I stood there perplexed as to what I had just heard and tried 218 00:12:32,800 --> 00:12:35,000 to make sense of it when it happened again. 219 00:12:35,400 --> 00:12:39,720 Thwack, but this time a little further away, maybe 25 to 30 220 00:12:39,720 --> 00:12:45,320 yards, but still quite loud. This repeated itself 10 or 11 * 221 00:12:45,320 --> 00:12:48,880 / a period of maybe 2 to 3 minutes, each time a little more 222 00:12:48,880 --> 00:12:52,120 distance than before. I remained standing there still 223 00:12:52,120 --> 00:12:55,560 trying to figure out what was whacking these trees after 224 00:12:55,560 --> 00:12:57,920 hitting. After the hitting of trees 225 00:12:57,920 --> 00:13:01,840 dissipated, I returned to the camp and locked the door. 226 00:13:02,640 --> 00:13:05,760 I didn't and still don't know what it was, but I knew it 227 00:13:05,760 --> 00:13:07,400 wasn't a person. Most dear bear. 228 00:13:08,320 --> 00:13:11,240 Of course there was absolutely no light, as in a flashlight 229 00:13:11,240 --> 00:13:13,960 from a person. Additionally, those woods are 230 00:13:13,960 --> 00:13:16,520 extremely thick with dead spruce and fir. 231 00:13:16,880 --> 00:13:20,240 Lots of blowdowns. Yet there was absolutely no 232 00:13:20,240 --> 00:13:22,600 noise. No snapping branches, no 233 00:13:22,600 --> 00:13:25,200 breaking twigs, nothing. Silence. 234 00:13:25,320 --> 00:13:28,480 I can tell you first hand that nobody could walk down through 235 00:13:28,480 --> 00:13:31,600 there in broad daylight, much less at night, without a 236 00:13:31,600 --> 00:13:34,720 flashlight, without snapping branches and making a lot of 237 00:13:34,720 --> 00:13:37,160 noise. I spent an additional hour in 238 00:13:37,160 --> 00:13:40,480 the camp that night reflecting on what I had heard and trying 239 00:13:40,480 --> 00:13:42,680 to attribute it to something that made sense. 240 00:13:43,080 --> 00:13:45,320 There was none in all of my experience. 241 00:13:46,080 --> 00:13:49,120 I went to bed and when we got up Friday morning we decided to 242 00:13:49,120 --> 00:13:51,800 hang out at camp to get a start on packing and cleaning. 243 00:13:51,800 --> 00:13:55,120 As we were closing up camp and leaving on Saturday, I walked 244 00:13:55,120 --> 00:13:57,520 into the woods during daylight where I'd heard the thwack 245 00:13:57,520 --> 00:14:01,120 noises the night before but found nothing or I expected to 246 00:14:01,120 --> 00:14:04,440 see some type of sign. Needless to say I didn't tell my 247 00:14:04,440 --> 00:14:07,320 wife about those experiences until Saturday morning as we 248 00:14:07,320 --> 00:14:10,400 were getting ready to leave. I still have no idea what it 249 00:14:10,400 --> 00:14:14,560 was, it was so dark I didn't see anything, but I can tell you 250 00:14:14,560 --> 00:14:17,640 that I've never heard or experienced anything like that 251 00:14:17,920 --> 00:14:21,760 in the many years that I've spent in those woods and 30 plus 252 00:14:21,760 --> 00:14:24,840 years I've owned that camp. Wow. 253 00:14:24,920 --> 00:14:27,400 Says there's no other witnesses, other stories. 254 00:14:27,400 --> 00:14:30,320 He says I questioned one other longtime woodsman from the area. 255 00:14:30,800 --> 00:14:33,440 He had never experienced anything like that. 256 00:14:33,440 --> 00:14:35,600 His camp is a little over a mile from mine. 257 00:14:35,920 --> 00:14:38,960 Tells us it was a 10/30 at night, complete overcast, no 258 00:14:38,960 --> 00:14:43,760 stars, no moon, pitch black low 40s, no wind, rain or snow. 259 00:14:44,520 --> 00:14:47,040 Says my environment had my backyard. 260 00:14:47,440 --> 00:14:50,600 Thick woods, lots of small dead spruce and fir with blow downs 261 00:14:50,600 --> 00:14:55,640 and mixed forest. 3 uninhabited, other camps nearby but not in 262 00:14:55,720 --> 00:14:58,480 visual sight. So this is really a pretty 263 00:14:58,480 --> 00:15:00,680 remote area. Guy's been going here all these 264 00:15:00,680 --> 00:15:03,000 years it says. And for the first time he has 265 00:15:03,000 --> 00:15:04,480 this experience, this wood knocking. 266 00:15:04,840 --> 00:15:08,000 I mean, clearly to me, these things are trying to intimidate 267 00:15:08,000 --> 00:15:12,400 people somehow I think I don't look at this as a as a situation 268 00:15:12,400 --> 00:15:15,880 where these entities or whatever they are, I reach down to 269 00:15:15,880 --> 00:15:18,360 communicate with people. To me, it just means get off of 270 00:15:18,360 --> 00:15:21,200 my property, you know, kind of get out of my yard. 271 00:15:21,760 --> 00:15:23,120 Let's take a look at a couple more here. 272 00:15:24,080 --> 00:15:25,760 We'll do this one and one more now. 273 00:15:25,760 --> 00:15:32,000 This here encounter said happened in 1996 or 1997 in Main 274 00:15:32,000 --> 00:15:35,200 and Hancock County. Nearest town Bucksport, nearest 275 00:15:35,200 --> 00:15:38,120 Rd. at 46. Now this looks to me in the map 276 00:15:38,120 --> 00:15:41,200 like it's down South of Bangor, maybe getting pretty close to 277 00:15:41,200 --> 00:15:45,600 the coastline down there. The experience here tells us my 278 00:15:45,600 --> 00:15:48,480 sister and I were driving to school one morning a few years 279 00:15:48,480 --> 00:15:51,720 ago, and straight up ahead we both saw something standing 280 00:15:51,720 --> 00:15:55,800 there in the road on two feet, staring at us as we approached. 281 00:15:56,360 --> 00:15:59,520 As we got closer, we could tell that the creature was about the 282 00:15:59,520 --> 00:16:03,600 size of a human, was covered with dark shaggy hair, and was 283 00:16:03,600 --> 00:16:06,920 sort of hunched over with its arms hanging down quite far. 284 00:16:07,400 --> 00:16:10,720 It just did there, about a foot or two into the road, watching 285 00:16:10,720 --> 00:16:14,880 us, and then almost as quickly as it had appeared, it vanished 286 00:16:14,880 --> 00:16:17,840 into the trees. When we drove by, I looked into 287 00:16:17,840 --> 00:16:20,200 the forest to see if I could see anything, but I couldn't. 288 00:16:20,800 --> 00:16:24,240 We went to school, told a few friends, and then told our 289 00:16:24,240 --> 00:16:27,360 parents later that night. We didn't think to call the 290 00:16:27,360 --> 00:16:29,800 police or anything at the time, although I wish we had. 291 00:16:30,080 --> 00:16:33,520 When we tell people, they never believe us because most people 292 00:16:33,520 --> 00:16:36,680 don't even believe in Bigfoot. I'm glad that this sight is here 293 00:16:36,680 --> 00:16:38,600 so that someone might finally believe us. 294 00:16:38,880 --> 00:16:41,960 I know what we saw was real, and I know it wasn't a bear. 295 00:16:42,240 --> 00:16:46,280 Bears are not shaped like humans and very rarely walk around on 296 00:16:46,280 --> 00:16:49,120 two feet, it says. The witnesses. 297 00:16:49,120 --> 00:16:51,600 It was just me and my sister and we were headed to school. 298 00:16:51,720 --> 00:16:53,520 As far as other stories go, it says. 299 00:16:53,880 --> 00:16:56,320 I thought I should tell you about this even though it might 300 00:16:56,320 --> 00:16:59,080 have been nothing. I was driving with my dad in 301 00:16:59,080 --> 00:17:02,120 Orrington, ME and as we passed the road I saw something 302 00:17:02,120 --> 00:17:04,560 crossing it. I couldn't tell what it was 303 00:17:04,560 --> 00:17:08,880 because we went past so quickly, but what I saw was a dark, but 304 00:17:08,880 --> 00:17:10,720 what I saw was very dark and tall. 305 00:17:11,200 --> 00:17:14,200 It is possible that it just could have been a bear, but it 306 00:17:14,200 --> 00:17:16,640 would have had to have been up on two feet. 307 00:17:17,040 --> 00:17:20,520 I made my dad turn around and we went up the road, driving very 308 00:17:20,520 --> 00:17:23,520 slowly, looking into the woods along the sides of the road. 309 00:17:24,000 --> 00:17:27,319 We didn't see anything. Whatever it was had vanished. 310 00:17:27,720 --> 00:17:30,400 But now, as I think back, comparing that incident with the 311 00:17:30,480 --> 00:17:34,200 other that I had in Bucksport, what I saw in Ointon, although 312 00:17:34,200 --> 00:17:36,920 only for a second, seemed very similar to each other. 313 00:17:37,480 --> 00:17:40,320 I'm not saying that I know or even think it was a Bigfoot in 314 00:17:40,320 --> 00:17:43,320 Ointon that day, but I do think that it certainly looked like 315 00:17:43,480 --> 00:17:46,800 the one I saw in Bucksport. I didn't think much about that 316 00:17:46,800 --> 00:17:49,440 incident and had almost forgotten about it because I 317 00:17:49,440 --> 00:17:52,240 never had an explanation for it and because I was the only one 318 00:17:52,240 --> 00:17:55,240 who saw it, so I had nobody to discuss it with. 319 00:17:56,040 --> 00:17:58,680 It says as far as the terms, time and conditions, it was 320 00:17:58,680 --> 00:18:01,480 during the school year, so it wasn't summer and there was no 321 00:18:01,480 --> 00:18:03,280 snow, so I don't think it was winter. 322 00:18:03,600 --> 00:18:06,880 It was either fall or spring. The environment on a road with a 323 00:18:06,880 --> 00:18:09,360 lot of forest near White's apple orchard. 324 00:18:09,520 --> 00:18:11,800 I think it's interesting to know that this could have been near 325 00:18:11,800 --> 00:18:14,720 an apple orchard. And we've often read stories or 326 00:18:14,720 --> 00:18:17,000 heard stories about how these things like apples, how they 327 00:18:17,000 --> 00:18:20,640 take apples for bait, how they've been known to eat apples 328 00:18:20,640 --> 00:18:23,240 off apple trees, a great form of food for these things. 329 00:18:23,240 --> 00:18:26,400 Even if it might not be a naturally occurring species 330 00:18:26,400 --> 00:18:28,640 that's been around for thousands of years in their environment, 331 00:18:29,040 --> 00:18:30,680 it's something that they seem to welcome. 332 00:18:30,960 --> 00:18:33,640 Now let's take a look at this last Bigfoot sighting here 333 00:18:34,080 --> 00:18:38,320 before we wrap up this episode. This last sighting is dated 334 00:18:38,320 --> 00:18:42,120 December 18th, 2023. Location County. 335 00:18:42,200 --> 00:18:44,720 Aristuke County. It says that their main. 336 00:18:45,040 --> 00:18:48,040 The residents do not want us to post your address or user last 337 00:18:48,040 --> 00:18:50,280 names. The property is 2 1/2 miles 338 00:18:50,280 --> 00:18:53,760 South of Mars Hill Main and 3 1/2 miles West of the Canadian 339 00:18:53,760 --> 00:18:55,160 border. So you're looking up there in 340 00:18:55,160 --> 00:18:57,960 the northeast part of Maine. It says. 341 00:18:57,960 --> 00:19:01,800 Nearest town Blaine, nearest Rd. Robinson Rd. 342 00:19:02,200 --> 00:19:05,680 Now if we go over here and see what the observer has to say, it 343 00:19:05,680 --> 00:19:10,520 says December 18th, 2023, a big storm blew in around 7:00 AM and 344 00:19:10,520 --> 00:19:12,920 didn't move off until about 12:20 AM. 345 00:19:13,080 --> 00:19:16,440 That's quite a storm and knocked out power to our home sometime 346 00:19:16,440 --> 00:19:19,960 around 7:00 PM. We have a chicken coop about 40 347 00:19:19,960 --> 00:19:23,720 feet from our house. It is 2 feet off the ground and 348 00:19:23,720 --> 00:19:27,240 12 by 20 with an entrance door that used to be the front door 349 00:19:27,240 --> 00:19:30,560 to our home. It was about 8:30 PM. 350 00:19:30,840 --> 00:19:35,480 Sunset is around 3:30 this time of year when I was shining my 351 00:19:35,480 --> 00:19:40,080 flashlight out and upstair window and saw a dark silhouette 352 00:19:40,160 --> 00:19:44,760 standing in front of my coop. The top of its head was in line 353 00:19:44,760 --> 00:19:49,160 with the top of the coop door. It was very muscular with broad 354 00:19:49,160 --> 00:19:53,720 shoulders, long upper legs, and proportionately shorter lower 355 00:19:53,720 --> 00:19:56,320 legs. It was too narrow at the hips to 356 00:19:56,320 --> 00:19:59,280 be a bear. We had a black bear and her Cubs 357 00:19:59,280 --> 00:20:03,160 den near our house a few years ago and this was nothing like 358 00:20:03,160 --> 00:20:06,080 her shape. I moved the flashlight to try to 359 00:20:06,080 --> 00:20:08,600 get a better look and it disappeared from view. 360 00:20:09,160 --> 00:20:11,680 The chicken coop is covered in white siding. 361 00:20:12,040 --> 00:20:14,560 There is no mistake that this was bipedal. 362 00:20:15,040 --> 00:20:18,080 It was facing me when I shined the light on it. 363 00:20:18,680 --> 00:20:22,720 It turned to run off just before I moved the flashlight. 364 00:20:23,240 --> 00:20:27,520 Given that an average door is about 7 feet high and the coupe 365 00:20:27,520 --> 00:20:31,320 is 2 feet off the ground, that would put it at around 9 feet 366 00:20:31,320 --> 00:20:34,680 tall. What had me looking outside was 367 00:20:34,680 --> 00:20:39,040 a sound that I'd heard on the wind that alarmed me to my core. 368 00:20:39,040 --> 00:20:43,680 I had spent the day listening to the wind howl and moan, but this 369 00:20:43,680 --> 00:20:47,000 was different. It was a guttural sound and 370 00:20:47,280 --> 00:20:51,080 within the sounds of the wind, but not In Sync, it caused a 371 00:20:51,080 --> 00:20:53,920 physical reaction. My heart started racing and my 372 00:20:53,920 --> 00:20:57,320 stomach went into knots. I was tending two of my 373 00:20:57,320 --> 00:21:00,400 grandkids who were playing with flashlights, mostly making 374 00:21:00,400 --> 00:21:03,400 shadow puppets. I jumped to my feet and told 375 00:21:03,400 --> 00:21:06,400 them to hand me a flashlight and turn the other one off. 376 00:21:06,800 --> 00:21:10,680 To shine a flashlight outside through the window, I must put 377 00:21:10,760 --> 00:21:13,360 it against the window or it just reflects back. 378 00:21:13,360 --> 00:21:15,960 So to see out the window, all the other lights must be turned 379 00:21:15,960 --> 00:21:17,840 off. One of our dogs was barking 380 00:21:17,840 --> 00:21:20,400 furiously. Before I could tell my daughters 381 00:21:20,400 --> 00:21:23,160 what I saw, they told me what they were experiencing 382 00:21:23,160 --> 00:21:26,680 downstairs with the two younger children and the dogs because 383 00:21:26,680 --> 00:21:29,240 the power was out. My youngest daughter was 384 00:21:29,240 --> 00:21:32,720 charging her phone in her car. She said that she went out to 385 00:21:32,720 --> 00:21:36,000 get her phone off the charger and felt like somebody was 386 00:21:36,000 --> 00:21:39,200 watching her. The feeling was so intense that 387 00:21:39,200 --> 00:21:43,040 she stayed in her car for a few minutes to look around and see 388 00:21:43,040 --> 00:21:46,360 if she could see anyone. When she got out to head back 389 00:21:46,360 --> 00:21:50,760 into the house, she only got a few steps away from the car when 390 00:21:50,760 --> 00:21:53,240 she heard the same sound I had heard. 391 00:21:53,640 --> 00:21:56,840 She said she was instantly terrified and ran into the 392 00:21:56,840 --> 00:21:59,240 house. The dog was in the window 393 00:21:59,560 --> 00:22:01,920 barking as she was coming through the door. 394 00:22:02,400 --> 00:22:06,040 My oldest daughter said that when she heard the howl, she saw 395 00:22:06,360 --> 00:22:10,920 her dog lift her head and look out the window, then stand up 396 00:22:10,920 --> 00:22:14,360 and start barking frantically. The dog was looking in the 397 00:22:14,360 --> 00:22:16,920 opposite direction from my youngest daughter, who had just 398 00:22:16,920 --> 00:22:18,400 started to run at the front door. 399 00:22:19,080 --> 00:22:22,160 Nobody wanted to charge their phones in the vehicles after 400 00:22:22,160 --> 00:22:24,640 that. This was not a case of mistaken 401 00:22:24,640 --> 00:22:28,280 identity about the sounds. We were in 30 mile per hour 402 00:22:28,280 --> 00:22:33,440 winds with 55 mile per hour gust and a downpour of rain in 403 00:22:33,440 --> 00:22:36,320 December. I don't know of any animal, 404 00:22:36,520 --> 00:22:39,920 domestic or wild, that would be out in that weather. 405 00:22:40,440 --> 00:22:43,760 In the morning after sunrise, my oldest daughter went out to the 406 00:22:43,760 --> 00:22:46,160 trash bin that is next to the chicken coop. 407 00:22:46,600 --> 00:22:50,320 She found that heavy lid was lifted off the bin and set on 408 00:22:50,320 --> 00:22:53,960 the back of the bin opposite the direction of the wind that had 409 00:22:53,960 --> 00:22:57,280 been blowing. Two large bags of trash were 410 00:22:57,280 --> 00:23:00,400 missing and there was a trail of trash into the woods. 411 00:23:00,920 --> 00:23:03,960 Critters tear up the trash in the bin and pick up what they 412 00:23:03,960 --> 00:23:07,400 want. They do not carry 55 gallon 413 00:23:07,400 --> 00:23:11,600 trash bags home with them. There are no tracks of any kind 414 00:23:11,600 --> 00:23:14,080 because we don't have any soft mud spots. 415 00:23:14,400 --> 00:23:17,520 It was either gravel or grass around the entire area of our 416 00:23:17,520 --> 00:23:19,560 property. Wow. 417 00:23:19,720 --> 00:23:21,440 So they also noticed throughout the summer. 418 00:23:21,440 --> 00:23:24,480 I heard odd chirping sounds after dark, which were 419 00:23:24,480 --> 00:23:28,080 identified as a Mountain Lion. Other witnesses There were three 420 00:23:28,080 --> 00:23:32,080 adults, three kids, one of three dogs, a Doberman, power outage, 421 00:23:32,080 --> 00:23:35,000 children playing shadow puppets with flashlights before bedtime. 422 00:23:35,520 --> 00:23:38,480 Other stories. No, but we don't have no but we 423 00:23:38,480 --> 00:23:41,640 don't know many people. It says the time it happened 424 00:23:41,640 --> 00:23:45,720 8:30 PM during a massive storm, high winds and downpour. 425 00:23:45,920 --> 00:23:49,040 Very dark, and the environment was wooded and farmland 426 00:23:49,040 --> 00:23:51,720 combined. Rural Maine, Triple Key, Triple 427 00:23:51,800 --> 00:23:55,760 Creek, ski resort, hills, ponds and potato farms. 428 00:23:56,520 --> 00:24:00,240 That must have been a really intense experience. 429 00:24:00,240 --> 00:24:02,480 I mean, you've got this storm. The power's out. 430 00:24:02,480 --> 00:24:05,640 It's December now. It says it's pouring down rain, 431 00:24:05,640 --> 00:24:07,240 but I imagine it's still pretty chilly. 432 00:24:07,680 --> 00:24:11,000 And then you're hearing these crazy wild sounds that you can't 433 00:24:11,000 --> 00:24:15,800 identify outside your window. And it's not just you hearing 434 00:24:15,800 --> 00:24:16,920 him. Even the dog can hear him. 435 00:24:17,200 --> 00:24:19,640 So yeah, what a what an incredible sighting there. 436 00:24:21,000 --> 00:24:24,880 The investigator on this one did apparently look into this, it 437 00:24:24,880 --> 00:24:26,840 says. Note from BFR investigator Matt 438 00:24:26,840 --> 00:24:29,920 Moneymaker. There are a few elements about 439 00:24:29,920 --> 00:24:33,120 this report that suggests an attempt to make contact and seek 440 00:24:33,120 --> 00:24:35,640 assistance from humans during a weather event. 441 00:24:36,360 --> 00:24:40,480 These situations most often happen on properties where any 442 00:24:40,480 --> 00:24:44,160 prowling animal in the nearby woods would frequently hear and 443 00:24:44,160 --> 00:24:47,680 observe human females interacting with domesticated 444 00:24:47,680 --> 00:24:52,240 animals in an affectionate way, as opposed to an affectionate 445 00:24:52,240 --> 00:24:53,880 treatment of commercial livestock. 446 00:24:54,400 --> 00:24:56,600 We talked about this a few times on the TV show. 447 00:24:56,920 --> 00:25:02,360 The geology around there has big granite protrusions but is not, 448 00:25:03,720 --> 00:25:06,280 but is not cars, IE limestone caves. 449 00:25:06,680 --> 00:25:12,040 The soil is too rocky to dig a man sized burl by hand, nor are 450 00:25:12,040 --> 00:25:16,440 there deep rocky gorges that would provide natural protection 451 00:25:16,440 --> 00:25:20,200 from the harshest winter winds. The only shelter from any wind 452 00:25:20,200 --> 00:25:22,880 in this particular area is thick brush. 453 00:25:22,960 --> 00:25:26,560 Among thick stands of tree. Thick brush provides sufficient 454 00:25:26,560 --> 00:25:30,360 protection from winter or cold adopted duct or cold adapted 455 00:25:30,360 --> 00:25:32,520 mammals if the wind is not too strong. 456 00:25:33,000 --> 00:25:36,400 Certain types of trees, especially types of cedar and 457 00:25:36,400 --> 00:25:39,920 dense thickets create umbrellas from snow at the base. 458 00:25:39,920 --> 00:25:44,520 There are dry depth piles to get inside like small hay piles if 459 00:25:44,520 --> 00:25:47,880 you are right next to the base of the tree, especially big 460 00:25:47,920 --> 00:25:51,400 thick cedar trees. Unless there is a very large and 461 00:25:51,400 --> 00:25:55,960 very dense mature cedar thicket nearby, then very strong 462 00:25:55,960 --> 00:25:59,120 freezing winds will penetrate the thickest trees and brush at 463 00:25:59,120 --> 00:26:01,600 hand. It would be uncomfortable enough 464 00:26:01,600 --> 00:26:04,360 to make a large animal want to move around to keep warm. 465 00:26:04,960 --> 00:26:07,760 This Sasquatch was probably taking chickens and turkeys from 466 00:26:07,760 --> 00:26:10,920 the family's chicken coop. Over time, that poultry would 467 00:26:10,920 --> 00:26:15,480 have been a fall back energy source if high calorie food was 468 00:26:15,600 --> 00:26:18,880 needed desperately, like in this particular freezing wind 469 00:26:18,880 --> 00:26:21,600 scenario. The Sasquatch may also have been 470 00:26:21,600 --> 00:26:24,480 trying to get the attention of the people inside the house, 471 00:26:24,880 --> 00:26:28,320 mostly females and children. That is a typical pattern. 472 00:26:28,560 --> 00:26:31,800 The Sasquatch would have known that these women are helping 473 00:26:31,800 --> 00:26:35,560 other animals through the storm and thus might be sympathetic to 474 00:26:35,560 --> 00:26:38,960 another creature caught in the storm, help with shelter or 475 00:26:38,960 --> 00:26:41,640 perhaps with food. That happens with various types 476 00:26:41,640 --> 00:26:44,000 of mammals in our in similar circumstances. 477 00:26:44,760 --> 00:26:47,360 If there had been a barn or shed where the Sasquatch could have 478 00:26:47,360 --> 00:26:51,120 taken refuge, it probably would have done so during that storm. 479 00:26:51,600 --> 00:26:55,000 A repeated observation in the Midwestern US is Sasquatch 480 00:26:55,000 --> 00:26:58,880 tracks and snow leaving a barn after a bad winter storm. 481 00:26:59,400 --> 00:27:02,640 Even if this family had perceived that the Sasquatch was 482 00:27:02,640 --> 00:27:06,200 seeking help to get through the storm, the family may not have 483 00:27:06,200 --> 00:27:10,440 had the option to open a shelter space like a garage, which would 484 00:27:10,440 --> 00:27:13,800 be an instant cave, say that will provide temporary refuge 485 00:27:13,800 --> 00:27:17,120 from the howling winds. Many types of mammals and birds 486 00:27:17,480 --> 00:27:19,720 will seek shelter spaces and circumstances. 487 00:27:19,720 --> 00:27:22,320 Even if it is close to human dwellings, they will take the 488 00:27:22,320 --> 00:27:24,680 chance. With dogs in the house, it would 489 00:27:24,680 --> 00:27:27,840 not have worked to let the Sasquatch inside by letting it 490 00:27:27,840 --> 00:27:31,760 see they're opening the door to let it come in this situation, 491 00:27:31,800 --> 00:27:35,040 and accommodating humans would open the door and retire to the 492 00:27:35,040 --> 00:27:38,240 upstairs to allow the animal to step inside out of the freezing 493 00:27:38,240 --> 00:27:40,680 winds. So it would not have to confront 494 00:27:40,680 --> 00:27:44,520 a human while inside that is a sort of interaction with the 495 00:27:44,520 --> 00:27:48,520 Sasquatch that may occur in the future once a once people 496 00:27:48,520 --> 00:27:51,440 realize that these are very intelligent creatures that do 497 00:27:51,440 --> 00:27:54,880 not prey on humans. And that's an interesting take 498 00:27:55,360 --> 00:27:58,400 goes on in comments a little bit further has a close up on the 499 00:27:58,400 --> 00:28:01,680 map here yet you can see there's some intensive farming around 500 00:28:01,680 --> 00:28:03,720 this, but there's also stands of trees. 501 00:28:04,000 --> 00:28:07,760 So this could be a situation where maybe these things are 502 00:28:07,760 --> 00:28:11,880 roaming at and like, and like the investigator said, they just 503 00:28:11,880 --> 00:28:16,880 can't find a place to find adequate shelter from the storm 504 00:28:16,880 --> 00:28:19,080 at, I don't know. Very cool sighting none the 505 00:28:19,080 --> 00:28:20,840 less. Just imagine being there in that 506 00:28:20,840 --> 00:28:24,400 storm and then hearing these noises of what appears to be a 507 00:28:24,400 --> 00:28:27,160 very desperate creature. Overall, some really nice 508 00:28:27,160 --> 00:28:30,120 sightings out of Maine. Thank you to the people that put 509 00:28:30,120 --> 00:28:32,960 those in there for us. Until next time, this is UFO 510 00:28:32,960 --> 00:28:34,160 warning over an hour.
