The Texas Bigfoot Hunt: Recent Sightings and Stories in the Lone Star State

My entire life I've been hearing stories about Bigfoot. Quite a few alleged 'sightings' happened here in Texas.

For whatever reason, I've never been specifically drawn to this particular legend. For some, it is a point of deep fascination. It has fascinated people for so long, the Bigfoot legend has had a significant impact on our culture and folklore. The mystery and potential adventure of spotting Bigfoot is a likely motivation.

Hey, I get it. I'm still hoping to see a unicorn.

And the fascination increases with each reported encounter of note. Surprisingly, numerous alleged sightings have been noted in Texas. There are even Bigfoot festivals and events, which have been a tourism draw, as each sighting seems to come with its local spin.

And sightings have occurred in various geographic locales, from the swampier areas to the more forest-type settings one might expect.

On top of that, myriad documentaries, books, and even podcasts are centered around the legend of Bigfoot--including here in Texas.
