#6 Reminds me of something I saw about 2 years ago in BC, Canada. While biking on a road in Roberts Creek that cots through woods on both sides, something ran across the road in front of me, about 5 yards distance. Imagine a slightly overgrown weasel, charcoal grey, but with a neck and head of a horse (scaled down) and three pairs of short legs (not pulling your leg). I braked and stopped, utterly flabbergasted. The critter disappeared into undergrowth bushes. To this day, I have no idea what I saw, and I have pretty good idea about the known fauna in the area.

#18 Too many Mentos with diet coke.
Wait... those were in Buckfield, the next town over. This is in Turner.

Never mind.

#20 As a state contractor, I had occasion to visit almost each one of the 502 lovely cities and towns of the good state of Maine. North of "Banga", I met at least one hybrid mutant every day.

Update

Not very fortean (some kind of feral dog, not a wolf-dog hybrid), but a cyptide nonetheless.

#27 When I saw the original link's picture, I immediately thought of some kind of hyper-chow. I do see resemblance to Akitas too. Not very "mutantish". Now, that cross-breeding offspring of mucky/Joe M., that would be something to fear (in postings at least).

#32 Sgt. D.T., nope, no dope, evah. (Smokes and coffee, I hope, don't count, beer/wine in rather moderate amounts, but no at the event time).

#33 It was charcoal gray, weighed between 40 and 50 pounds and had a bushy tail, a short snout, short ears and curled fangs hanging over its lips, he said.

The infamous crashing boar.
