http://www.wmtw.com/news/ye...222908#ixzz2yQtVcdQULITCHFIELD, Maine —A yeti sighting in Litchfield? It's not impossible, according to International Cryptozoology Museum Assistant Director Jeff Meuse.
The sighting is being discussed after a person going by the initials M.P. told Cryptozoology News he saw a "white bigfoot" in Litchfield.
According to Cryptozoology News, M.P. told them, "I never thought I'd get to see something like this. I've always laughed at all these bigfoot nuts, I had my reasons. Now I guess I'm the crazy one here. Unless it was a very good hoax played on me, that could be, but I tell you again, it ain't easy for a man to make those kind of moves. That didn't look human to me."

Cryptozoology News also includes stories about leprechauns, mermaids and "Pig-man."
"Let's face it, when it comes to any story about bigfoot, yetis or the abominable snowman, most people will answer with skepticism," said Meuse.
But that's what Meuse says he embraces about cryptozoology.
"You need to have a little skepticism, because you can't accept everything in this field," Meuse said.
Meuse said an important part of cryptozoology are the hoaxes and fakes because they help provide proof for real artifacts.
Skepticism may not be the only reason sightings may not be reported.
"Some people just don't want to talk if they've seen something like that," he said.
But not everyone wants to believe in yetis.
"Most likely, its one of the big hairy guys around here, roaming around," said Litchfield resident Percy Gowell.
Norm Bosse of Litchfield was more open to the possibility.
"I wouldn't be surprised if there were some in Maine if there is any. Why not? They're out, out west and they say there's some in Alaska so why not? Why not here in Maine?" he said.
Meuse thought approaching the question of a yeti in Litchfield with some doubt was a good idea.
"It is not good to have no level of skepticism," he said. "You need to really look at what you have and make those decisions on your own, what you determine to be actual."
The museum's sign uses a Coelacanth. A Coelacanth is a living fossil considered extinct for over 65 million years but was rediscovered in the 1930s and is still around today.
Meuse said 150,000 animals are discovered every year, from microscopic to the size of a cow.
"Does that mean bigfoot could be the next to be discovered? Not necessarily. But it could," Meuse said.
Gowell was going to wait and see.
"Who's to say? There might be something out there, lurking around. But… I don't know, until I see it, hard to say," he said.
