My favorite Maine bigfoot story comes from Michelle Souliere’s wonderful book Bigfoot in Maine (The History Press, 2021) and sounds like something right out of The X-F iles. It took place on Route 1 just outside Camden.
During the eight months since I took over this column from my dear Ma, I often try to find the appropriate cover photo, something that will draw in the casual browser of PenBayPilot, and get them to read whatever little yarn from Lincolnville I am.
The Ames family came by their farm, which sits on the Northport/Lincolnville town line, in 1837 through the negligence of one of Benjamin Carver’s sons. It seems this son had let the farm deteriorate so badly that his own father put it.
