Bigfoot: Is this the proof?

IT'S definitely big. It's certainly hairy. Could this mysterious beast be the elusive Bigfoot?
Shot in snowy woods in the US state of Maine this video shows a creepy creature lurking in the treetops — and the footage has taken the internet by storm.

Speculation is rife about the identity of the fearsome animal.
It has been likened to a monkey and even a bear. But many of the 50,000 people who have already watched the clip are convinced it could be the legendary sasquatch.

The video was posted on YouTube by American user webtech88 five days ago.

A woman can be heard telling a child to look at "the bear" in the branches.

But the terrified kid tearfully replies: "I don't like bears."

Although the cameraman can be heard whistling to attract the animal, it sits silently in the tree.

It is only when they see the front of the animal the group realize it might not be a bear.

The confused woman says: "I see an ape." While the cameraman agrees: "It does look like a monkey."

Maine, in the north east of the country, has had a number of Bigfoot sightings over the years.
 

A Visitor In The Night
By Deeannah

I believe the story I'm about to share with you was the catalyst for all of the experiences I've had since this happened. I guess it opened my mind just enough to make me aware of things we cannot always explain because to this day I still have things happen.

It was mid April 1998 and my son and I were staying with my parents at their home in Valparaiso while my husband was going through Basic Training. None of us had ever had an encounter in the house up to this point, that we had acknowledged anyway. I still go to sleep with the tv going as I have done since I was a kid, and usually my mom would come check on me and turn it off. She still does to this day even though I'm in my thirties and am rarely home. I was sleeping good this particular night. I remember waking up to the feeling of

someone sitting at the foot of my bed and I could feel the pressure on my lower legs and feet. When I looked up I thought it was just my mom sitting there looking at me to make sure I was ok. I still have really bad Asthma. It didn't really faze me and I went on back to sleep. When I woke up in the morning my tv was still going. I thought that was kind of odd because my mom came in to check on me and didn't turn it off like she usually does. I walked back to her and my dad's room and found my mom blowdrying her hair. I asked her if I could talk to her a minute so she stopped working on her hair and asked me if something was wrong. I then looked at her and asked why had she come into my room and sat at the foot of my bed looking at me and then left my tv on. She looked like a deer caught in the headlights, and asked me what on earth was I talking about. So I asked again, and she said that she hadn't come in my room all night.

We went back and forth for a few minutes until my dad woke up and asked what we were talking about. So I asked him if he had come into my room and he also said no. I had this chill come over me and I told them both to quit messing with me and tell me the truth. They both denied coming in and we all knew that it wasn't my son since he was only 15 months old and still slept in his crib without knowing how to climb down.

My parent's started to get a little worried seeing as how I was clearly freaked out. My mom asked me what all I remembered and if I could tell her exactly what I saw. I started telling them both what I could recall, and then it hit me. I had opened my eyes and saw someone sitting at the foot of my bed looking at me, but it didn't scare me at the time. I also recalled that I could see my tv on THROUGH the person sitting on my bed. The best way I could describe it was that it looked at me in a way that was like someone tending to an ill child or a patient. It was in no way menacing. I really couldn't make out many facial features since I only saw it for a couple of seconds and I was woke up from a sound sleep.

Both of my parent's looked panicked as I told them what I remembered, and even went and checked all the doors and such to be sure no one had gotten in the house. BUT if that would've been the case why on earth would someone come sit on my bed and look at me and do nothing else?!?! I still don't know whose ghost it was but I like to think that it was one of my close relatives who had passed on just coming in to check on me now that my husband was gone. Thinking of it that way makes it a little less creepy for me.
 

A Room Full of Shadow People
by Spooky

This happened when I was about 8 years old so it would have been around 1977. A friend of my brother's had just been killed in a car accident and I was having a nightmare about her. I awoke and was startled to find people standing in my room.

There were two beds, mine and my older sister's. I looked over at my sister and saw who I thought was her sitting on her bed and her elbows were on the little table next to her bed and her hands were closed into fists and she had her chin propped on them. I could see she had a braid on each side of her head and I remember my sister had gone to bed with two ponytails, not braids. I kept calling out to her, but she didn't answer.

There was also a person in the middle of the room, another one leaning over me and one by the window. There was also one in my doorway, blocking it. They all just stood there motionless looking like 3-D shadows. They had dimensions, only they were solid black.

I slid off of my bed to avoid touching the one leaning over me and went around the one in the middle of the room to stand at the foot of my sister's bed, which was near the window and another shadow person. I could see my sister lying next to this "thing" that I thought was her. I could see an impression on the bed where the thing was sitting, like it had weight to it.

That was it for me, I closed my eyes and ran past all the shadow people to my parents' room and when we came back, there was only my sister sleeping in there. I had never heard of shadow people at that time, but that is what I called them, so the first time I heard about shadow people in books or online, I wondered if anyone had ever experienced what I did.

But so far, all that I have read or heard about on talk radio, no story is like mine. Usually people see them out of the corner of their eye or moving across the room, but never just standing like mannequins. It was almost like I was in another place and time was standing still. But why was one on my sister's bed, and why did it almost look like her? Another weird thing was, my sister usually did have braids in her hair because she liked the way it made her hair look when she took them out. But this night she didn't. It was almost as if it was trying to look like her.


Haunted Cemetery
by ritad

While in high school a few people got together and started spending all their time visiting haunted places in the area. Two of us are now telling others about what we have seen. There is a cemetery in a near-by town (for the safety of others, we will not tell names because the neighbors like to chase people out with guns). It is the only place that all of us agree is truly haunted. To clarify things, there were about 30 of our friends involved. However, we will not discuss what they claim to have happened while we were not there because we do not know that it happened. We will tell you a few of the things that have happened to us over the past 3 years. The first time we went to this place was Halloween night (I know it's corny, but it's true). Anyway, one of us went into the cemetery while the other one waited in the car with a friend. While in the cemetery, she did not see anything. However, she smelled an overpowering odor that smelled of, as she says, death. She also felt the feeling of death in the air. It does not seem out of the ordinary, true. But never since has the smell or feeling been present. While she was in the cemetery, the ones in the car saw a man. I was the one in the car, who is now typing this. The other is helping me recall the events as I type. Nothing much happened to her after that. However, I went back many more times. I have witnessed a "ghost fog" that followed me and a few other friends, heard voices that came from nobody, seen the shadowy figures that followed us around, seen people take on a change of sorts in their personality, and once a change in their physical appearance (A friend suddenly either got a very bad case of dry eyes or his eyes glow red naturally sometimes). I know it all sounds crazy or like a story, but there a too many of us that have witnessed strange things to not have the opinion that this is one truly haunted cemetery!
