This week the internet is celebrating National Sasquatch Awareness Day, which raises one big question: do we really need to be more aware of Bigfoot?
If a seven-foot-tall, hairy dude comes lumbering out of the forest, awareness won’t be your problem…
Still, a new report just ranked the places in North America where you’re statistically most likely to bump into Bigfoot. And no, you probably won’t find him chilling outside a Starbucks in Miami.
Researchers looked at reported Bigfoot sightings, how forested each state or province is, and the average temperature. (Apparently, the ideal Bigfoot climate is a pleasant 55 degrees Fahrenheit.)
If you’re hoping to make a found-footage horror movie, here are the top ten places to go Bigfoot-hunting:
- Washington
- West Virginia
- Oregon
- British Columbia, Canada
- Michigan
- Maine
- Pennsylvania
- Idaho
- Ohio
- Massachusetts
Prefer to stay Bigfoot-free? These are the least likely places to find him:
- Quebec, Canada
- Maryland
- Arizona
- Alberta, Canada
- Louisiana
- Manitoba, Canada
- Indiana
- California
- Alaska
- Wyoming
Really? If I were Bigfoot, I’d totally pick Wyoming or Alaska over, say, Florida. (Too many gators, not enough privacy.)
