I mean, I've read of maybe one or two that no doubt in my mind something could be there, but I haven't heard of a lot of sightings in the New England area, or any "hotspots".. I've done a little researching on this, and can't come up with anything. So I'm asking you guys for some good sightings, photos, etc..., especially in Maine.

Thanks

And yes, I realize I spelt Credible wrong

I've been thinking about this alot, actually. It seems that barely any reports come from the north east. To me, it seems that sasquatches are a largely western species.

Are you kidding? Have you seen how much we pay in taxes? Even the wildlife have to get a second job just to make ends meet.

It's been my opinion for awhile that although there may be less Sasquatch here in New England, I also think that its the mindset of alot of N.E. folk. I always have a hard time explaining exactly what I mean. I've heard that in the N.E. area folks generally dont embrace such "wild" claims and notions. That could be the reason behind the lack of alot of reports, people just aren't willing to step up and say that they may have seen a Sasquatch. Fear of ridicule perhaps? Not wanting to make waves? Not wanting all sorts of outsiders flooding into an area if a report is, well, reported.
And no, I'm not saying that people from other parts of the country are more gullible or anything like that.

I've noticed over the years, and feel free to correct me, but there seems to be alot less reports of any sort of "strange" things from this area. Alot less UFO reports, alot less Sasquatch reports etc. Sure we have some, but not as much as other parts of the country.
My wifes theory is that perhaps there aren't as many Sasquatch here in New England becasue this is where white folks first landed, and has been inhabited longer than other parts of the country. And yes, I know that there were Natives all across the country, but they seem to be able to live in a more less impactful way with nature than us white folks. But we got here, and took over, and did as we pleased. Hell. if I was here when all that happened, I woulda left the area as well.

Dude, I live in the center of sasquatch activity, Western Washington, and no one who has seen a sasquatch is EVER taken seriously. On rare occasion, you'll find someone who also had an encounter, and then you both know the truth. BUT most people in the PNW consider the sasquatch an outlandish and crazy idea.

I honestly believe the more mechanized and technologically dependent we become the human race in general becomes either too arrogant or too cynical to accept the notions of things like Bigfoot. You can order a book from India and have it arrive at your door in 3 days and you can find your house on a satellite map from google in two or three key strokes so the notion of a creature living on our fringes undetected for centuries is too much for most to accept. It’s one of the flaws of being mechanized I think. Not that I am any better typing this here thought into the interweb and all.

Anyway, I have always wondered if we have the kind of range here in the overpopulated lower New England states to support a giant ape-like critter like Bigfoot. There are plenty of remote places around here but not too many places very far from civilization if that makes sense. It’s not remote in that it’s hard to get to or too far away but remote in that not many folks get out to those parts because it’s off trail or swampy or whatever. We have an abundance of deer, vegetation, caves, rock outcroppings, and fish to support a population I think but the roaming thing would be a problem here. Even in places like Winsted it’s tough to hike for more then 6 or 7 miles without hitting a road or encountering human traffic of some kind or another.

From experience in gathering anecdotal evidence, there are more sightings than You are ever gong to believe.

Too funny

Yes, I think that Maine is the place to see one up there. Most of the rest of NE is too crowded, I would guess. ME is still something like 95% forest and has a small population. There are probably areas up there that no man has ever seen to this day. Of course, there is always that nagging little detail that is called..."Winter"...

Winter is no bother, its actually good for tracking and catching up with an animal. I don't know if you hunt or not, but if your on snowshoes and your prey is sinking into 3 foot snow, your going to catch up quick. I saw one report of snowprints that looks like Sasquatches in Maine, seems the guy followed them for a mile then stopped. Not sure where I heard this though.

Oh,I know.

As far as Massachusetts goes, I think the two most credible are from October Mountain State Forest in the Berkshires. Nothing that I've read in the two reports seems all that far fetched. They seem to have a ring of truth to them as well.
There are railroad tracks nearby which would allow for ease of travel. The Berkshires isn't the hotspot that it once was, so the area remains quiet a good part of the time. Besides any wild food sources, there is a camp ground in the park, so trash is available as an additional food source. Both sightings took place within only a couple of miles of each other.
I visited the park with a local paranormal author who is writing a book about the paranormal here in Massachusetts, and on our trip he asked a couple of people walking thru the park that lived nearby if they had ever seen or heard anything strange in the park and they both said yes. Now I know thats not a ringing endorsement, but some folks just aren't interested in giving a long detailed interview, so take it for what it is.
Besides, why wouldn't we have Sasquatch here in New England?

The saying "credible sightings" sort of bugs me a little. Is a truck driver to be less "credible" then a police officer ? Is a teacher to be believed more than a plumber ?
Now sure some sightings reports are just out there in la la land but my point is any sighting can be just as credible as any other as long as it is not just so far out there it becomes stupid.

Hi

Basically the same question i always ask in the talk shows and researchers i have chatted with, Why no BF sightings in NE ,
Ya we have winter here as in a lot of other Places but that doesn't seem to stop BF from living in Canada or Washington
We have a good amount of forest and mountains, caves, water, food, on and on, but still why no BF, i have wondered
the question maybe folks here in NE just don't care or are to involved with other things to even think about it, i am still
very confused and it is starting to weigh on my Belief that maybe the big guy is just not out there ???? or he is really
a species that is more prone to the Midwest and over to California just like a lot of other animals, i know one thing when
i am out there whacking trees and broad casting sounds from my car , I am the only one doing it around here in Plymouth, MA


Peace

redsnake,
Perhaps it has to do with the theory that they migrated across the "alaska land bridge" along with native American's a long time ago. That combined with their primitive nature, maybe they just haven't had the need to migrate that far northeast. The fact that most sightings appear in the pacific northwest probably has to do with the heavy rainfall that provides an adequate food supply. But then again, they seemed to have migrated thru most of the country (if you believe the theory). Maybe they just hate the patriots and redsox? Well, they call the pacific northwest the last great frontier with a zillion acres of forests. Who knows, when I catch one, I'll ask.

Hi

You know that is a good point Last Sox game i was at i didn't see any BF

Peace

A few years ago my wife was the manager of an apartment building in Frederick Md.
I would frequently stop into her office and have lunch when I was working close by. On one of these occasions a young girl walked in the office to pay her rent. My wife introduced her to me and said that she had just moved here from Washington state.
I said...."Washington state......really? Did you live in a rural or urban area?"
She said........"Both, I lived there all my life."
I said........"Great!!! Sit down here and tell me all of your sasquatch stories."
She said........."Sasq what?"
I said........"You know............Bigfoot!!"
She said....."I've never seen one and I don't know anyone who has."
I said........"But you're from Washington state for God sakes!!"

At this point my first and only Sasquatch witness interview was brought to an abrupt halt by the action of my wife throwing me out of her office.

hey everyone great new thread about new england sasquatch activity, yes in my honest opinion i think new england states forests do have a good to great amount of sasquatch-primates sightings depending seasons conditions etc almost every year. hopefully bigfoot groups can keep us informed of activity footprints strange screams related to sasquatch. there are alot caves in new england that a large primate like sasquatch could use very temperary im sure researchers here in the past have found evidence of that. good evening bill
