Mapping Michigan Bigfoot Sightings: Unraveling Patterns and Population

If you're interested in Sasquatch and want to get started with fieldwork, you're in luck. A YouTube channel called The Forest Fleur has shared a video on how to create your own Sasquatch sightings map and estimate the local population. This is a fantastic way to get a better understanding of Sasquatch activity in your area and identify hotspots for potential sightings. In the video, The Forest Fleur takes us through the process of creating a map using Google My Maps. She starts by going to the BFRO (Bigfoot Field Researchers Organization) website to find credible sightings in Michigan. She focuses on Class A encounters, which are the most reliable and detailed accounts of Sasquatch sightings. The Forest Fleur then shows us how to add points to the map using the information from the sighting reports. She emphasizes the importance of naming the points by the month and year of the sighting, as this can help identify patterns and potentially link multiple sightings to the same individual. As she plots the sightings on the map, The Forest Fleur also discusses the significance of certain landmarks, such as power line cuts, which can be attractive to Sasquatch due to the presence of prey animals and the ability to gain a vantage point. One interesting aspect of the video is The Forest Fleur's decision to color-code the icons on her map based on the color of the Sasquatch described in the sighting reports. This can help identify patterns and potential groups of Sasquatch in a specific area. The Forest Fleur also mentions that, as she continues to build her map, she has noticed patterns and been able to make rough estimations of the Sasquatch population in her area. This information can be invaluable for researchers and enthusiasts looking to focus their efforts on areas with high Sasquatch activity. Overall, this video is an excellent resource for anyone looking to get started with Sasquatch fieldwork. By following The Forest Fleur's example, you can create your own sightings map and gain a better understanding of Sasquatch activity in your area. So, grab your boots, head out into the field, and start exploring! If you're interested in watching the video, you can find it on The Forest Fleur's YouTube channel. And, of course, don't forget to share your own sightings and experiences with the Squatchable community!
