I was skeptical about sasquatches. I acknowledge it's farfetched that some sort of apemen live in the forests of the American west and yet no one has produced definitive proof. But there are so many eyewitness accounts that it's hard to dismiss completely— especially when it's a Montanan who saw it, right? When a Montanan tells me "it wasn't a bear" I'm more inclined to believe them because Montanans are uniquely surrounded by wildlife.

If bigfoots do exist, it seems there are a lot of them here. The Idaho State Journal crunched the numbers and found which states have the most sightings per capita.

1. Washington

2. Oregon

3. West Virginia

4. Idaho

5. Montana
