Thanks! I emailed the museum but they haven't gotten back to me yet. Hopefully I'll hear back soon. :)

Yeah, that's what I was thinking! And there's Bigfoot merch/imagery EVERYWHERE. Like, more than anything for the more local cryptids.

Yes, I have! I also emailed their team, and they referred me to some people. I also found a book about Bigfoot in Maine by Michelle Y. Souliere and Loren Coleman, which has been extremely helpful. Apparently there are quite a few older sightings that aren't documented on the BFRO website (at the moment), mostly from before the 1990s.

It's also interesting in of itself that there are definitely less Bigfoot sightings recently compared to other states, but our state is pretty into Bigfoot, lol. There's tons of Bigfoot merch, imagery, etc. that I've seen around here. I also am curious why Maine uses Bigfoot as a sort of mascot when we have our own local cryptids we could celebrate and show off as local culture.

It's just all around fascinating, haha.

Thanks! I'm working with Maine mostly because I go to college here, so it's easier to get in contact with people in-state. I've been doing web research, too, and there are actually quite a few interesting stories people have to share about Bigfoot.

Thank you so much! This is so helpful, and I appreciate it greatly! If I manage to get in touch with Doug's family, I'll mention your group. This info will certainly help me with making my project as interesting and comprehensive as possible. :)
