Bigfoot found in Georgia? California spots where Sasquatch was reportedly sighted
Two Bigfoot hunters claim to have bagged the body of a creature they say is the great hairy one and plan to present their evidence today at noon a hotel in Palo Alto, according to news reports. Rick Dyer, who also offers Bigfoot tours, and Matthew Whitton say they made the find in northern Georgia.
And yes, there’s a photo.
Which got us wondering where a traveler might go to find his or her own Bigfoot. Bigfootencounters.com has compiled a handy database of sightings nationwide where you can access dated reports on each “encounter” submitted by contributors.
Sightings in California include:
*A 1995 sighting two miles from the Chilao Campground in the Angeles National Forest north of La Cañada Flintridge.
*A 1987 sighting near the Hermit Gulch Campground on Catalina Island (”The color of its body was either a brown or a reddish brown all over. Its strides were smooth and efficient. The palms were open and facing down in a slight curled position with the thumbs folded beneath…”)
*A 1977 report about Edwards Air Force Base in Palmdale [California], where apparently many locals have reported Bigfoot-like sightings over the years. (”Witnesses told very similar tales of large hair-covered man-like apes observed crossing the highway, or looking in their windows at their homes usually after midnight.”)
*A 2007 sighting on the Merced River in Yosemite that includes photographs of Bigfoot prints.

I've always believed he existed. Out of all those weird legend creatures, he was the most believable.
