Sasquatch!

How come Bigfoot and Bigfoot adjacent creatures all seem to live in places where there are hills, rainfall, and forests?

Doesn't get out into the fields a lot, do they?

Bigfoot classic is just North-North Cal, Oregon, and Washington state, maybe into the Idaho Panhandle.

The Dogman is Michigan and occasionally Northern Wisconsin.

Appalachia is weird, but they got Mothman in W. Virginia, and "Mountain Growlers" all along it.

The lower Appalachian mountains, into northern Florida and along into Louisiana have the Skunk Ape.

Seems an odd distribution. I'm just saying. Also, I'm just saying I'm drunk.

I grew up in Oklahoma and they said there were bigfoots (bigfeet?) in the south eastern part of the state where there are more forested areas. I lived in the central area and you never heard anything about it there. But sometimes you'd hear from someone who went camping in that part of the state and claimd there was something outside their tent.

They like the trees! Use the hills as home! Such beautiful leaf hats they wear! To match their GIANT FEET!

Don't most giant bipedal primates live in the woods?

Take a look at the BFRO (Bigfoot Field Research Organisation) map. There's a lot more sightings in other states than gets reported, and famous ones tend to take over the narrative.

Mothman has been spotted in Chicago as recently as 2017.

The most credible Dogman encounter (to me) happened to someone who was running alongside a cornfield when he was younger. He's now a federal judge.

Also animals tend to go to where the food and water is plentiful. If Sasquatches exist they'd be in the forests for the berries, fish in the water and deer.

wtf is a Dogman I've lived in Wisconsin for 51 years today and I have never heard of that. our "cryptid" is the Rhinelander Hodag, which is a known hoax but beloved because of that, not even in spite of that.

anyway long/short answer is, 1st hoax perpetuated in a wooded area, giving rise to suggestions that that's the habitat since dense woodlands are harder to just see through, especially at night, and dense woodlands are also where a lot of normal NA animals that most humans don't actually encounter regularly live. See: raccoons, possums, cougars, coyotes, wolves, even certain wild fowl like turkeys, grouse, nightjars, and several species of owls, plus loons in lakeland wooded areas. They make weird noises while hunting at night (or avoiding being hunted) and are the normal things usually stirring at times when humans without any wildland experience are out looking around, so of course Dumbass Barry who lives in the city doesn't know that the thing making noise outside his tent at 10pm is just a fucking possum rooting around, not Bigfoot. I just fucking want people in general to first learn what wildlife exists in any given area before jumping to conclusions, so that if you go out into the wilderness, your actual question to yourself is, "is it a raccoon or a wolf?" because that's entirely plausible AND a good question to ask, not "is it a bird or Bigfoot?"
