Washington has been making a lot of rankings recently and while our state is known for being lucky, healthy and expensive, we’re also known for Bigfoot. Washington state actually has the most Bigfoot sightings in the nation. Hard to believe? Well, this new study backs it up.
BonusInsider decided to go through the available statistics to find out which states in the US have the highest odds for a Bigfoot encounter. They calculated the odds by reviewing data from BFRO – the Bigfoot Field Research Organization. The organization has the most comprehensive data – with sighting reports as far back as the 1950s.
