They do tend to have a more human-like face, but obviously just hair-covered, very large, very athletic,&#8221; he added.<\/p>\n<p>While many associate the creature with the Pacific Northwest, Neiss said <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/category\/us\/us-regions\/midwest\/ohio\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Ohio<\/a> is a major area for reported activity and ranks fourth in the nation for sightings.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Earlier this year, investigators with the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ohiosquatchproject.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Ohio Squatch Project<\/a> investigated <a href=\"https:\/\/www.outkick.com\/culture\/bigfoot-flap-update-now-eight-high-credibility-reports-across-ohio\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">eight sightings reported in March,<\/a> with assistance from the Bigfoot Society.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/us\/alien-chasers-offer-hints-decades-long-quest-solve-longest-running-murder-mystery\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>ALIEN CHASERS OFFER HINTS IN DECADES-LONG QUEST TO SOLVE &#8216;LONGEST RUNNING MURDER MYSTERY&#8217;<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>On Sunday, <a href=\"https:\/\/fox8.com\/news\/searching-for-bigfoot-northeast-ohio-sightings\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">FOX 8 reported<\/a> that witnesses found what they described as &#8220;new evidence,&#8221; including <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/outkick-culture\/new-evidence-surfaces-northeast-ohio-bigfoot-flap-including-alleged-tracks-unexplained-howls\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">tracks and audio of unexplained howls<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Mike Miller, co-founder of the Ohio Night Stalkers Bigfoot Research Group, said a difficult winter may have pushed the alleged creatures into more populated areas, or that they were rearing their young.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/outkick-culture\/massive-grizzly-bear-wolf-caught-camera-demolishing-dead-animal\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>MASSIVE GRIZZLY BEAR AND WOLF CAUGHT ON CAMERA DEMOLISHING DEAD ANIMAL<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Neiss&#8217; investigations have taken him on long-term expeditions in Northern California, Arizona, Alaska and the Cascade and Blue Mountain ranges.<\/p>\n<p>When asked why technology hasn\u2019t confirmed the species, Neiss said it comes down to simple math and luck.
