Maine is filled with mysterious wonders, from bigfoot sightings to the mysterious Specter Moose hunters have feared since the first sighting in the 1800's.
My experience happened in Ogunquit, Maine. Ogunquit is a tourist area, especially in the summer, although a large majority of it is covered with woodland for miles. My grandmother rented a Cabin I would frequently visit when she lived in Maine for the summer. The Cabin was located near a campground that was surrounded by a dense forest, away from where the tourists would be, the trees of this forest were compacted together so it was a little bit difficult to take a hike through it, there were no hiking trails in this forest as far as I know. There was a open entrance to this forest that was closed off by a gate with a 'DO NOT ENTER' sign attached to it.
One time I decided to go past the gate and walk through it to explore during the daytime, I remember continuing to walk through this forest for about 20 minutes, which seemed like a few hours. I had a very eerie feeling as I ventured further into the woods because I stopped hearing birds singing away, which was odd because near the gate it's all I could hear, birds chirping. All of a sudden I hear an animal walking through the fallen leaves on the ground, I figured it was a deer but as this creature got further I knew it was no deer... I did not see what type of animal it was, but I knew by the sound of it's footsteps it was definitely larger than a deer. I definitely knew it was not a bear because it was rare to see bears in Ogunquit, and I probably would be bear food and would not be writing this. As the footsteps got closer they got louder, and the leaves would crunch louder. This frightened me and I sprinted out of those woods as fast I could possibly could, faster than I ever did.
A few nights after this, at around 2AM, my brother and I were sitting around the campfire, having a few beers and talking. All of a sudden out of nowhere, we hear a beastly roar coming from the same direction of the woods I had previously explored, this didn't sound like any ordinary animal, it was grotesque. We stayed silent for 3 minutes trying to decipher what we had just heard when he turns to me and asks "what in the **** was that", me being filled with fear I simply told him that I did not know. After that we got everything we had with us sitting outside and went back into my grandmother's cabin.
I don't know what I heard that night, I'm not a skeptic of bigfoot, but it could have been another human playing tricks on us, but I've come to realize that it couldn't have been because those woods were pitch black at night and what same human would ever go in there without proper flashlights is beyond my comprehension. It was definitely not a bear.
I never dared to enter those woods ever again.
