Bigfoot's Blog

Hi, I’m the Ossipee Sasquatch.The amazing librarians at Ossipee Public Library asked me to write this blog about library happenings. First, let me tell you a little about myself. My first official name was, “the monster of Gitchee Goumee”. But later, I decided Ossipee Sasquatch was more suitable and easier to remember. If you lived in Ossipee in the 1960s and 70s you may remember Camp Gitchee Goumee. That is where I was first spotted by some campers and a few older adults. I hoped they would just leave me alone but years later, local author Marianne O’Connor wrote about me in her book, Haunted Hikes of New Hampshire. You can stop by the library and check out a copy to read more about me. Since I’ve been out of the woods, I have enjoyed visiting the library. It’s usually quiet so I can get some reading done before I head back to my cave in the forest. Sometimes, it is really loud because of the children’s programs or other events. I usually sneak away before too many people arrive. But I do like to write about my favorite books, fun programs that I watch from a comfortable distance, as well as interesting observations from a squatch perspective. Check in often as I will be attempting to write a monthly installment of; Bigfoot’s Blog. Until next time, keep it squatchy! ~Ossipee Sasquatch
