Resident from Litchfield, Sabattus, Greene, Turner, Lewiston and Auburn have complained for years about the mysterious animal with its chilling monstrous cries. Loren Coleman, a Portland author and cryptozoologist, said though he didn't know for sure what the animal was, but based on his examination of its remains, "I think this dead animal is a chow or chow-mix, a relatively small dog, that was feral, which is unusual for that area," he told the Sun Journal newspaper.
