Maine Police Investigate Bigfoot Sightings, Find Man in Furry Coat

Police in Damariscotta, Maine, investigated multiple reported Bigfoot sightings after residents called about a "very large and hairy individual" roaming town, concluding the figure was a man in a furry coat. The police department launched a "completely serious investigation" following an "unusually high number of calls," but determined the sightings were not a sasquatch, with officers finding no criminal activity or evidence of a hoax. The unnamed man reportedly had a "great conversation" with police, and social media users mocked the reports, joking he looked like a "large Yorkshire terrier," while police praised the town's vigilance.
