Have there ever been reports of bigfoots, or other strange creature sightings in the New England area? Or is my neck of the woods (Massachusetts) sh*t out of luck? Just wondering if anyone has any idea.

You might see more Patriots players roaming the woods if they keep on cutting veterans.

Jersey Devil? Is that close enough?

Ever hear of the Jersey Devil? (sometimes referred to as the Leeds Devil)....

i've been wondering that for a while now the only strange creature i remember reading about in massachusetts is the Dover Demon, and that was already mentioned. i saw a porcupine/woodchuck thingy cross a road in Malden, Massachusetts. does that count? it was night so im not sure what it was. i also saw an albino squirrel in Boston, how about that?

I have heard of people seeing Bigfoot like creatures in Western Mass. There is also an abundance of ghosts in this state.

I live in the most south-western part of vermont, and my stepfather has been a logger for his whole life. He's never told me of anything supernatural, but he has told me a few times that he is convinced that there are some panthers around here. He is in the woods every day, and has seen evidence in several areas, including eastern new york, northern mass. and southern vermont. He knows a lot about tracks and droppings of animals, and he is pretty credible, so i dont doubt that there are a few panthers around here.

This is the first time i heard about "champ" i have a house like 2 minutes away from lake champlain and i have been out fishing on that lake caught a few bass and a nice northern too this is cool, im going up there this monday i hope since i have no school for the week me and my father always cross the border the bridge to Vermont. I have never seen champ but i want too any specific locations on where i might get a glimpse of him?

I live in western mass and i havent seen or really heard of anything except for ghosts

I live in western Massachusetts, too, and grew up with tales of the Cobble Mountain Critter, a bigfoot-like creature said to roam the forests surrounding the Cobble Mountain reservoir. Unfortunately, I have been unable to find any information about it on the net.

I live in Amherst MA. A couple of years ago I was driving up on 116 late at night when i saw a huge black dog standing by the side of the road. It was the biggest dog I have every seen in my life. Honestly, I had no idea dogs could grow that big before the incidence. It was close to the size of a black bear. I had a long good look of it when I passed it. Although, its eyes were not flaming, its fangs made it doubly menacing. Sightings of black bears are known in the mountain areas in the nearby town but this close to the town center is unheard of. So, there you go, my little run in with a legendary black dog in Amherst, Massachusetts.

I remember driving through the woods of Millis/ Medfield about 3 years ago with some friends of mine trying to look for "satans house" . It was supposedly where satan worshipers go to practice their religion. Well we never found the house, although i remeber we slammed on the brakes because there was an animal in the path in front of the car. It stood there for a couple second then ran off in the woods. We called it the elusive Catdog. It was too big to be a cat and too small to be a dog. It looked like a cat and dog had mated. Really weird. Every since then we think back and wonder what the hell was that thing.

I live in boston area and I havnt heard anything (lately)..... That Devil whaterever seems wierd though. Well, actually, I have heard about things that look like deer only realy thin and have long tails. I have also heard of a big foot or an ape or a hunched over person walking around the Ipswich River area and the Nashua River.

One of my first memories is from driving with my mom, grandma, and greatgrandma to Loudon, NH from the NH seaside. My family can trace back to that town for 6 generations. When night fell on route 106 we heard "Open the window and let me in," in an adult male voice, which I thought was some kind of joke, but the women were scared. As we turned off on to Loudon Road there was a large dark figure in the road with no features, which my grandma swerved around. Greatgrandma told her to drive until we got to the house (farmhouse at the time). This was about 1979 or so and it was dirt roads and farm roads at the time. I'll never forget that crap. There are other things that happened in NH, Maine, Mass, and RI that I haven't heard of or sensed in other states. New England is pretty haunted if you ask me.

I spent most of my life in Massachusetts (CapeCod) and i can guarantee you there's nothing there except for the few shady characters and usual transients....Some are scary but they belong to the human race.
