The Hunt for Bigfoot Begins!
In the world of cryptids, perhaps none are as intriguing, nor as elusive, as Bigfoot. This humanoid creature has been the focus of many expeditions and searches, often with little luck in finding the creature. But with the right tools and techniques, as well as a little bit of luck, Bigfoot can be hunted down. Here are some of the best spots to start your search for the elusive creature.
1. Pacific Northwest
The dense forests of the Pacific Northwest are, arguably, the best place to start looking for Bigfoot. The region encompasses California, Oregon, Washington, and British Columbia – all areas with a history of Bigfoot sightings. In particular, taking a trek through the forests of Mt. Hood National Forest or the Olympic Peninsula can lead to potential sightings or clues.
2. Southeastern United States
The swamps and dense woods of the Southeastern states, such as Florida and Georgia, are another hot spot for Bigfoot sightings. The Floridian Wildlife Management Areas, for example, has reported numerous sightings of the creature over the years.
3. The Appalachian Mountains
This sprawling mountain range covers parts of the United States’ East Coast, harboring isolated, hard-to-reach areas that potential creatures like Bigfoot might be able to find refuge within. With researchers sighting and reporting Bigfoot in regions like Georgia and West Virginia, the Appalachian Mountains hold a significant place in the search’s history.
4. The Rockies
Moving further West, the Rocky Mountains in the western United States provide an excellent natural habitat for the rugged and crafty Bigfoot. Specifically, various areas of British Columbia, Alberta, Wyoming, and Colorado in this region are known hotspots, with probable sightings being reported relatively frequently along Columbia’s Kootenay River.
5. Florida Everglades
The Everglades is where Bigfoot’s cousin, the Skunk Ape, also resides. Reports from hikers and visitors describe an uncanny being that often stirs the surface of the murky water bodies located across the wetlands. Tourists and locals alike believe that the Skunk Ape seeks refuge in the parts of the location untouched by humans.
In Conclusion
While the veracity of these sightings may call into question, it remains a fantastic glimpse into what could be hunting these forests’ shadows. So on your next itinerary, make time to take up the search for Bigfoot regionally. Each area offers its share of history, culture, and sights to explore – and maybe even catching a glimpse of Sasquatch doing his or her own thing in the wild. Who knows? Maybe you’ll end up proving the skeptics wrong someday.
