Bigfoot is real! While mainstream science has refused to accept the existence of the hair hominin, reports of the creature are now in the tens of thousands or more. Cases reach back hundreds of years and continue to the present day. While Bigfoot is reported all over the planet, the leading producer of cases is the state of California.

Native Americans have oral traditions about Sasquatch reaching back many hundreds of years. But it wasn’t until the mid-1850s that written reports began to be recorded. Initially reports came from prospectors, miners, hunters, and others. But as the population of California began to grow, so did the number of Bigfoot encounters.

While reports were coming in for more than 100 years, it wasn’t until a series of events occurred in 1967 in the small then unknown town of Bluff Creek in northern California that interest in the creature exploded. For the first time, the term “Bigfoot” came into use, and for the first time people began to scientifically study the creature.

While some people still remain skeptical of the creature’s existence, those who study the evidence usually come to the conclusion that Bigfoot is real. Even the famous anthropologist Jane Goodall has stated her belief that Bigfoot is real. The evidence comes in many forms including eyewitness testimony, footprints, handprints, hair samples, fecal and urine samples, animal reaction cases, sound recordings, Bigfoot nests, and of course, photographs and films.

California has produced cases involving the entire range of Bigfoot cases, both friendly and hostile. Perhaps the most common type of encounter is seeing a Bigfoot cross the road in front of a vehicle while traveling late at night along a remote highway. But many other reports exist of face-to-face Bigfoot encounters, Bigfoot chases, hunters shooting at Bigfoot, Bigfoot confronting hikers, campers, fisherman and more. Some people report being viciously attacked by Bigfoot, even including kidnappings. But some also report remarkably friendly encounters. A few testify that Bigfoot has even saved their life. Even stranger are accounts in which Bigfoot and UFOs are seen at the same time.

California has all these kinds of cases and more. People come from all over the world to visit such hotspots as Willow Creek, Bluff Creek and more. But what many people don’t know is that Bigfoot is seen all across the state, from the Sequoia and Redwood forests in the north, to the fertile central valley in the middle, the high deserts of Acton, Lancaster and Palmdale, the massive Angeles National Forest area, all the way south to the remote mountains surrounding San Diego. There is virtually no place in California that hasn’t produced solid Bigfoot reports.

This video presents more than 100 cases of Bigfoot in California. And while these are enough reports to gain a full understanding of Bigfoot behaviors and habitats, the truth is that this is only the tip of the iceberg. The number of reports in California alone is in the several thousands. And most people never even report their Bigfoot encounters. So any estimate of the number of the cases is probably far lower than the actual number. What we know about is just the tip of the iceberg.

The cases presented here show that California is very active with the mysterious creature known as Bigfoot and Sasquatch.
