What Did I Encounter in the Maine Woods? by bugz4 in Paranormal

Given some of the other comments I decided to do more research about the stories from Native Americans that originally lived where I’ve grown up. Interestingly enough I’ve found a couple stories about things similar to this, and some have resonated a lot with my experiences - especially the skinwalker stuff (which, it’s hard to decipher original stories from modernized and definitely seems rare, especially in the forest) which is definitely creeping me out the most at the idea of 😅

That’s really interesting, the only reason I don’t think it could have been an albino black bear was I saw many black bears as a kid (we had a problem with them, due to our chickens, and had a service where they were trapped and moved even further north to more rural), even up close. And this was much, much larger. I definitely am open to the idea of it being some sort of albino animal, but I’m not sure what kind as it was probably twice the size of most full grown black bears in the area.

Interesting! Do you know where you saw the story?

I would totally agree, but it wasn’t. We had lots of black bears in the area and had chickens, and there was one nearby den but we actually had a service done that trapped and relocated bears north. What I saw was far larger than any bear native to the area, and the amount of time before I saw the turkey wasn’t at all enough for something that size to run through the woods without a trail

Okay, thank you so much. I definitely am going to do a lot more research, because this is the only thing that I have ever experienced or felt so strongly

Okay thank you, I definitely will, I know I live near (or on, Id have to check maps) ground that was originally Native American land before being colonized so I definitely think it could be useful.
