Class B First-hand BFRO #8259

Hunters find scat and have large rock thrown at them

BFRO YEAR: ~1970 Early morning Baxter, Piscataquis County, Maine 2 witnesses

Account

While hunting near a lake in the fall of 1970, the witness reported a strong musky odor, unusual large and small scat, rhythmic thumping with ground vibration, and a large dead tree falling nearby while alone. The next day the witness returned with a companion, encountered the thumping and shaking again, and a large rock flew over their heads, after which they left the area.
