Repost: Searching for Bigfoot in Washington State

Does Bigfoot really exist? Mike Barish travels to Washington State and links up with a real life Sasquatch expert to try to coax him out of his forest hideaway.

Mike Baris writes on his blog:

Bigfoot. Sasquatch. Yeti. Whatever you call it, you’ve most certainly heard tales of an ape-like creature that lives in the woods. Is it the missing link? Is it a prehistoric beast that defied extinction? Or, is it simply a myth with a few ardent believers? I ventured to the woods of Whidbey Island in Washington State to attempt to find out for myself. I met up with Paul Graves, a Sasquatch expert, part of the Bigfoot Field Researchers Organization and a man who has dedicated his life to studying and searching for this seemingly mythical animal.

I, of course, am already the father of a yeti. Granted, he’s a SkyMall product who I’ve forced to bake brownies, but he’s mine and I love him. That said, I wanted to find the real thing.

At his cabin in the woods, Paul showed me the tools of the trade: night-vision and thermal goggles, cameras and, perhaps most important of all, patience. We searched for tracks, belted out Sasquatch screams and waited. And waited. Watch the video to see if we had any luck and check out the photos from my day with Paul. And, listen to all of Paul’s Bigfoot song, “Jim Henry.”
