An intriguing video from Maine shows a trail of sizeable prints found in a snowy forest and some suspect that the peculiar tracks could have been left behind by Bigfoot. The mysterious markings were spotted in mid-February by Stephen Bartlett, who noticed them on his property in York County. Despite a snowstorm unfolding at the time, he dutifully documented the discovery with his cell phone (seen above) before sending a report on the tracks to the Bigfoot Field Researchers Organization (BFRO), which tasked investigator Ontario Richardson to look into the curious case.
According to his report, "the tracks were approximately 7’–8’ apart" and stretched for around 150 feet before "they became unrecognizable." Richardson also indicated "there was only a very thin layer of snow filling the tracks, leading to the idea that the creator had recently passed through the area but leaving out enough detail to unequivocally say what left them behind." That said, in sharing the case on social media, BFRO founder Matt Moneymaker asserted that the tracks could not have been made by any prosaic creature such as a moose or a rabbit nor were they from a person. As such, he posited that the trail constituted "authentic Bigfoot snow tracks."
In response to people arguing that the prints could not have been made by Sasquatch because "the branches in the pathway have not all been snapped off by the tall creature," Moneymaker countered by suggesting that they bent rather than broke as the Bigfoot passed through the forest. In his assessment of the case on the BFRO website, the group's founder theorized that the tracks were in a fairly open area because the elusive cryptid was cognizant of how the falling snow would "soon cover their tracks," which made it less concerned about its presence being noticed by humans.
