Jan, 01, 2009Poll # 1 – How far do you live from sasquatches?

Just for fun I thought it would be interesting to see how far researchers think they live from these elusive nocturnal bipeds. Since bigfoot / sasquatches have been reported in 49 states and most Canadian provinces it is apparent that their distribution is much greater than once thought.
So please vote!


I live between two Georgia Counties that have had sightings and/or evidence of BF. Pike County GA (Elkins Creek) to the south of me and White County in North GA. Most activity reports in GA come from this region.
I live in the Raleigh/Durham area of NC. though I have had no personal experiences myself, I have read and heard of "Habituation" and sightings within the State as close as 30 miles. I would guess there are creatures even closer than that,given the geography, access to water and food. ie: berries, farming, deer, fish, etc..

From the age of 8 til I was 15, I had 5 class B's. They are within touching distance. All my encounters happened within 6 miles of my childhood home. Four happened outside my home in a small community of 1600 in S.E. Texas.
I am over here in Washington (IL) and am certian that bigfoot is over in Pekin I have done some research there myself…….I did have an upclose encounter in Wis. yrs ago and that is what started my quest…….Tim
Considering the closest BFRO report, the answer, for me, seems to be 21.2 miles. I am not a field researcher, but have done some desk research that causes me to have some suspicions about possible routes of movement, though. Regarding the whole issue of bigfoot, I find myself solidly on the fence, so much so that I have built a mental platform there, on which I expect to live, if nothing happens to push me off. I approach the subject from the perspectives of a writer and flaneur, so whether bigfoot is a biological animal or a psychosocial metaphor, I feel myself to be in a win-win position. I very much enjoy keeping up with field researchers' experiences, and especially yours, Mr. Courtney, since you are here in Illinois.

On further research, it now appears that a non-BFRO witness report is located approximately 12 miles from my home.
