BFRO #76281: Possible bigfoot encounters at night on Wachusett Mountain, 7 miles west of Leominster

📍 Location

📝 Description

First, I am a skeptic but I am willing to be open minded. Secondly, I ski Wachusett and I hike there so I am very familiar with the terrain and trails. So, this past week I have been hiking up the road just before sunset and hiking down the road leaving the top about 5 to 10 minutes after sunset. First night, I am coming down and I stopped under the chair lift where the road crosses 10th mountain ski trail. This is the upper road crossing . Looking up slope, I notice a dark shape standing to the left of a lift tower probably about 400 feet above me. My thought is: �what is that?� I thought it might be a bear but if it would have to be a big one. Or it was a piece of equipment next to the tower. I watched for a while a no movement. I shrugged and moved on. Second night, two days later. I walk the same hike and I stop in the same place on the 10th mountain trail and look for the dark shape near the tower. It isn�t there. I didn�t see anything but I did smell a an animal kind of odor. Not overpowering but you could not miss it. Day three, same kind of hike. As I was hiking down I noticed three deer on the Conifer trail. They were not nervous but aware of me. I moved down to the 10th mountain trail to see if I could see anything. On the military crest of the slope, right where the flat section of the trail has a sharp drop off I saw a large dark shape move from my left to the right for a few feet then made itself small like it squatted down. I saw what looked like a head and shoulders. I did not see any further movement or smell any odor. I headed down the road back to the parking lot . As I got close, I heard a branch snap on my left in the woods and then a few feet later I heard a branch snap on the right. So, while I am a skeptic, it was intriguing enough that I would share it. I don�t have night vision equipment but I would suggest you hike the same road and the same time and observe looking up the 10th mountain trail after sunset.I have been thinking about the tree branch break sounds I heard near the bottom of the Wachusett road. This happened on the third night after I saw movement high up 10th mountain trail. If you look at a map, there is a straight line shot down the ski trail where two bigfoot could have moved down back down to the road without being seen by me and placed themselves on each side of the road to wait for me to pass. The road after from where it crosses the upper 10th mountain ski trail continues west for a third of a mile before it hits a hairpin turn and then head a third of a mile back to the parking lot. My point is there was an easy opportunity for bigfoots to get to the near end of the road and wait for me before I got there.
