Bigfoot sightings lead to expedition in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula

This week fifty people will take part in an expedition to find Bigfoot in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula. The expedition is being conducted by the Bigfoot Field Researchers Organization and will focus on Marquette County, Michigan, July 12-15. Four reported sightings have lead BFRO to head to Michigan. BFRO is hoping to find evidence that will confirm that there are indeed such creatures in Michigan, as well as to possibly speak with locals who have seen the creatures, but not yet reported them. While news of the “Bigfoot Expedition” in Michigan has been making the Internet circuit in the last couple of weeks, it is not the only place in the world where there have been enough sightings to merit investigations. Last month, The Australian reported that authorities in the Meghalaya state in India would be conducting an investigation in the Garo Hills area. Several “bigfoot”-like creatures have been frightening villagers in the jungles near the borders with Bangladesh and Bhutan. According to the local authorities the creatures have been spoken of and even seen by villagers for years; however, in recent months the sightings have risen so much that the authorities have decided to check into the matter more closely. The villagers are calling the creatures “Mande Burang”, or “Jungle Man”. One farmer told an AFP reporter that he saw four of the creatures at once: two large, two small. Malaysia is another country where a rash of sightings has led to an investigation. Malaysia received a great deal of publicity over the matter last year when the government sponsored an expedition into some its remote jungles to search for creatures that matched the typical “Bigfoot” description. The possibilities of a Bigfoot animal have been considered impossible by many scientists, despite the continuing rise in the sightings of such creatures. Cryptozoologists, those who study supposedly non-existing animals, are hoping the investigations in Michigan and India will change that line of thinking.
