Bigfoot Sightings: Michigan Ranks Among Top States In Nation
Bigfoot, also known as Sasquatch, is a legendary creature often depicted as a large, hairy humanoid in forests and wilderness areas. It is characterized by its enormous size, standing at an estimated 7 to 10 feet tall. And it is said to have a robust and muscular build. Bigfoot is said to have long, shaggy hair covering its body, typically described as brown or dark in color.
One of Bigfoot’s distinguishing features is its massive footprints, said to be around 16 to 24 inches long. These footprints have fueled the legend and given rise to its name.
The organization known as the Bigfoot Field Researchers Organization (BFRO) keeps tabs on which states have the highest number of reported Bigfoot sightings. Their website claims to have a massive database of legit sightings and related reports. It’s maintained by a dedicated network of volunteer researchers, archivists, and investigators specializing in bigfoot and sasquatch phenomena in the United States and Canada.
Where did Michigan fall on the list?
Michigan ranks at number 8 with a total of 225 documented bigfoot sightings. Delta and Oscoda take the lead with 10 and 11 sightings among the counties in the state. Clare, Clinton, Eaton, Genesee, Houghton, Ingham, Lapeer, Macomb, Newaygo, Oakland, Saginaw, Shiawassee, St. Joseph, and Van Buren have no reported sightings.
According to the organization’s findings, several other states have also had notable sightings of bigfoot. California comes in second with 461 reported encounters, followed by Florida with 339, Ohio with 321, and Illinois with 303.
