Loren Coleman, a cryptozoologist who came to the area last week to investigate, estimated the print to be 14 to 16 inches long. International Cryptozoology Museum photo<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

sunjournal<\/a> – He\u2019s calling the area the Turner Triangle and this beast the “Leeds Loki.”<\/p>\n

Cryptozoologist Loren Coleman visited Line Road last week to do his own investigation into a couple\u2019s claim that something like Bigfoot walked in front of their car.<\/p>\n

On Monday, Coleman said that the man had reported seeing something hairy, 7 feet tall and walking upright cross the road on the morning of Feb. 8 near the Greene-Leeds town line. The woman with him put its height at closer to 6\u00bd feet.<\/p>\n

Coleman is protecting the couple\u2019s identity, so far only communicating with them through a friend.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey\u2019re just afraid it would ruin their lives because of all the ridicule,\u201d Coleman said. \u201cThey\u2019re really very skittish.\u201d<\/p>\n

Coleman, who has a museum in Portland dedicated to mostly unconfirmed creatures (Bigfoot, the Loch Ness monster, the Jersey Devil), was involved several years ago in naming the Turner Beast, a black animal that created enough mystery that it made national headlines before being unmasked as a dog.<\/p>\n

The area has had other historical Bigfoot sightings, he said, as well as sightings of animals described as black panthers and cougars. Mystery cats, Coleman said, seem to live in one place year-round; he questioned whether Bigfoot migrates through the area in spring and fall.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think what\u2019s happening, we may have a Turner Triangle where there\u2019s a lot of marshy lands,\u201d Coleman said. \u201cMy conceptualization is that the whole area is more wild than the people in Lewiston or Portland understand.\u201d<\/p>\n

Eric Nickerson lives on Line Road, a quarter-mile from the point of the sighting. He said he\u2019s never seen anything strange in the woods there. In the early 1980s, however, 8 miles away on Turner Center Bridge Road, he claims his brother saw a Bigfoot and, that riding home one day on his bike, he himself was chased by one.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was right behind me for a ways,” Nickerson said. “Thank God<\/a>, the house was there \u2014 I don\u2019t know if it might have caught me or not.”<\/p>\n

A family member has called History<\/a> Channel\u2019s \u201cMonsterQuest\u201d to offer up several stories, he said.<\/p>\n

Coleman has been featured before on the monster show.<\/p>\n

Bill Dubois, manager at the family business Red Roof in Leeds, said people had been in the store gossiping about the sighting, though most of the information was second- or third-hand.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe people that saw it seemed pretty spooked,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

His take on whether something could be in the woods out that way: \u201cIn this world, you never know. I have one customer that was just a Bigfoot freak; he believes in it. Telling him, he got all excited.\u201d

Possible Bigfoot Sighting In Leeds<\/span><\/p>\n

wgme<\/a> – Gossip is flying in the town of Leeds, but it\u2019s not typical talk for small town Maine.<\/p>\n

A local couple says Bigfoot is real and he\u2019s living nearby. Monday morning a pair spotted a 7 foot tall, hairy man crossing the road near the Greene\/Leeds town line. And they\u2019re not alone. Over the last 25 years, There have been numerous Bigfoot sightings, leaving locals to believe there may be some truth to it. And it\u2019s getting enough traction that a cryptozoologist visited [the] area to do his own investigation. In 2006 \u2013 there was a mysterious beast thought to live in Turner. It was later confirmed to just be a dog.<\/p>\n

Loren Coleman posted a detailed article on the area where this sighting occurred The Leeds Loki: 2010\u2019s Maine Bigfoot<\/a><\/p>\n

Thanks to Blackmyst!<\/span><\/p>\n

NOTE: I’ve been watching this incident for a few days hoping more evidence would be disclosed. Other than what Loren Coleman and the local press has reported, this sighting has not garnered wide scale attention….then, of course, that’s liable to change. This area has had a bunch of strange encounters over the years….use the link above to Loren’s detailed piece…Lon<\/span><\/p>\n
