MARQUETTE, Mich., June 28 (UPI) -- The Bigfoot Field Researchers Organization has made plans to visit Marquette County, Mich., to search for evidence of Sasquatch activity.

BFRO field investigator Matthew Moneymaker said members of the organization will follow up July 12-15 on a recent witness account in the county, the Escanaba (Mich.) Daily Press reported Thursday.

Moneymaker said the exact locations to be searched by the group are being kept secret.

"We hope to accomplish several things. First is a direct sighting and to record that sighting. We'll be looking for evidence supporting a presence. We are going to study the environment, which is typically remote. And we hope to meet local people who might have seen a Sasquatch or heard of someone else who had an encounter," Moneymaker said.

He said Marquette County has experienced four reported sightings of the legendary beast, the most of any county in Michigan's Upper Peninsula.

"Sasquatch is an omnivore and predator," Moneymaker told the Daily Press. "His diet consists of both meat and vegetation. One of the signs we look for is a healthy population of deer and other ungulates."
