Bigfoot Researchers Set Up High Tech Gear

Bigfoot researchers have arrived in Upper Michigan in hopes of finding proof the creature exists. They arrived in Eastern Marquette County yesterday afternoon and began unpacking high tech gear like night vision goggles, thermal imaging cameras and digital audio recorders.

About a dozen members of the scout team will be in the woods this week, with more extensive exploration planned through the weekend. They're encouraging people who've had a possible bigfoot encounter to help outline search areas.

"The public can help if they have seen these things, or heard what may be their sounds, or found their tracks," says Matt Moneymaker, the search organizer. "We would like to talk to them about their incident, so we can plot those points on a map, and that may help us with this expedition."

The researchers will meet with witnesses this evening from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. at the scenic turnout across from the Gitche Gumee Campground on M-28 in Chocolay Township.
