Sasquatch sighting near Kittery, Maine (1989)
Account
The guest, then 19, was scouting for deer behind a rented house in October 1989 and set a homemade 10-foot ladder stand along a deer run. At dusk he heard loud deliberate footsteps approaching from the north and saw an upright, wide-shouldered creature pass about 40 to 50 yards behind him heading south. He hid against a tree, left without telling his fiancee, and returned days later to find the stand shredded into short sections with large human-like tracks and a single six-inch reddish-brown hair tipped white. He abandoned the spot and says he has never had a similar experience since.
