And who knows more about hiding from the herd than Bigfoot? Could there be bigfoots all over the country? Or is it bigfeet? So, where do you think you can see one of these big beasts with your own two eyes? We dug into reports from The Bigfoot Field Researchers Organization and compared it against state population data to see where people have the best chance of befriending a bigfoot.
Bigfoots love those forest areas, especially if there are some snow-capped mountains and fresh water sources nearby. With over sightings reported, Washington is by far your best bet to get a fuzzy photograph of our famous friend.
The green state gets 8. California reported bigfoot sightings, which was the second-highest total, but with over Bigfoots avoid high-density populations, so even if there are more sightings in a state, a larger population in any area might scare him away from sightseeing spots. Oregon jumps up to the number-two rank when you consider population, which makes the Pacific Northwest by far the best spot to see a sasquatch.
The most recent sighting in Wisconsin was July 18 of this year in Washington County near Richfield when a year-old driving down the highway reported seeing a two-legged large figure covered in fur standing next to a tree along Highway Were all of these experiences just figments of the imagination? Did they actually see different animals and confuse them for something else? Or is Bigfoot — as some suggest — a telepathic creature connected to aliens and capable of interdimensional travel?
There is a lack of physical evidence. Lots of grainy photos and video and many sightings, but not a skeleton or a fossil. But the skeptic who bought the Spring Valley land was convinced after he had first-hand experiences.

Ten days after hearing about that report, Thompson and a small group drove to the site. Based on the set of tracks they saw, Bigfoot Okanagan concluded that the tracks actually belonged to a moose. Once again, no proof of Bigfoot. Debunked sightings are common. A psychological effect called pareidolia — the tendency to see an object where there is none — is another potential explanation for alleged sightings, said Thompson.
Thomas Steenburg has been studying the sasquatch since , and has authored three books on the subject. In his 43 years of research, the year-old from Mission, B.
He says the only thing that will ever prove the existence of the sasquatch is a body, a piece of the body or sufficient skeletal remains.
