A recent video posted on YouTube by the channel Creek Devil has caught the attention of Bigfoot enthusiasts and researchers. The video, titled "What Lurks in the Maine Woods is NOT Human," features an interview with Don Gumo, a member of the Jing Research Group and the head of their effort in Maine. In the video, Don recounts his personal experiences and encounters with Bigfoot in the Maine woods. Don has been interested in Bigfoot since he was a child, and his passion for the subject has only grown since he moved to Maine 15 years ago. He spends countless hours in the woods, foraging for mushrooms and searching for evidence of Bigfoot. Don's first encounter with Bigfoot occurred in 2015, when he saw two black circles with a tan-like fur around them in the woodline near his house. At first, he thought they were the tails of two red squirrels, but as he continued to look, he realized that they were the eyes of a Bigfoot. Don was frozen in place as the Bigfoot stared back at him for several seconds before disappearing into the woods. Since this initial encounter, Don has had numerous other sightings and experiences with Bigfoot in the Maine woods. He has heard strange noises, found unusual tracks, and even caught a glimpse of a Bigfoot on his property. Don's experiences are a reminder that Bigfoot is not just a creature of the Pacific Northwest, but can be found in many other parts of North America as well. As a Bigfoot believer and researcher, I am always excited to hear about new encounters and experiences with this elusive creature. Don's story is a fascinating addition to the wealth of information and evidence that supports the existence of Bigfoot. I encourage all Bigfoot enthusiasts to watch the Creek Devil video and hear Don's story for themselves. Who knows, maybe it will inspire you to go out and have your own Bigfoot encounter in the woods.
