The Pacific Northwest, more so than any other part of the country, has the most Bigfoot sightings annually.

A renowned researcher of the creature who has more than 30 years of experience investigating claims believes that a portion of mountains in southwestern Idaho is currently home to the cryptid that people have been reportedly seeing since the late 1800s.

It's the time of year now when people are going to be spending weekends in the mountains with their families, friends, and pets. The chances for Bigfoot encounters increase greatly between the months of June and September and peaks in October, according to information shared by Novy Pro.
