DATE:    1977-1978  
 

TIME:     Early Morning 
 

LOCATION:   Oxford County, Maine 
 

TERRAIN:    Mountains 
 

OBSERVED:    My story begins back in 1977/78 time frame.
I use to baby sit for friends of mine sons, they had a camp in Kezarfalls Maine that we went to every year.
Now the camp road it was on did not have any power and there were few camps on the road. There across the road lived two native american indians who have lived on this road all their lives. At the time they were in their late 70's. They were true to their heritage that when their sister died in their home years
before, they built a new home down the road and left all the belongings in the old home. (This was their custom as to not disturb the dead).
On a Winter/early spring morning we arrived at the camp around 10:00 am. As was custom we stopped to see Cxxxxx and Hxxxx the two mentioned
above. As we were welcomed in to the home, Cxxxx was isolated and not very talkative. When Hxxxx was asked what was wrong he stated and I quote:

"Xxxxx feeds the animals every morning, and this morning before he gathered the food to feed them, he heard a baby crying outside, and when he opened the door, the THING was there at the door staring at him. As he was slamming the door, the THING ran off screaming."

We all looked puzzled as to what the THING was, when asked, Hxxxx said the giant of the woods. We asked him to elaborate and he said there was
a giant who roams the woods and Cxxxx saw it that morning. He pointed us to outside where we stood in awe at the footprints he showed us.
(Due to snow still on the ground they were very visible)

Now being Stupid as we were, three of us followed the prints at least a mile before we got so tired we headed back. At that time none of us new about bigfoot so we never thought to cast or call anyone on this.

The gentleman I was with, stood 6'2 and was not able to stretch his leg the length of the stride. The footprint was twice his size but I can't remember his size at the time.

I know that Cxxxx would not go out in the dark after this episode, he would only feed the animals after Hxxxx would open the door and check it out beforehand.

While following the tracks, it smelled like a wet dog who rolled around in garbage throughout the woods.
 

Activities of Witness:   N/A 
 

Description of Creature:  Other than finding out that the creature was crying like a baby, the witness wouldn't talk about it.
 

Other Notes:    The footprints went to a MT which for the life of me I don't recall the MT name.
 

Other (Informational or Encounter History in the General Area) Notes:    N/A
 

Additional Notes and or Follow up Comments:  Interesting thing I thought of after was: The first house on the left on this road, people would move into and move out within the week.  Everyone said it was haunted however, maybe our BF friend has something to do with it?
I don't know if the house is still there but would be interested to find out.
