SALISBURY, N.C., Oct. 18 (UPI) -- A North Carolina man who has hunted for Bigfoot for decades says he will lead a four-day expedition to seek out the never-confirmed, man-ape creature.

Michael Greene, 70, of Salisbury, who said his previous encounters with Bigfoot -- also known as Sasquatch and Yeti in the folklore of different cultures -- include hearing the creature roar and capturing thermal imaging footage of a 7-foot-tall creature with no discernible neck, said he will lead a team into the Uwharrie National Forest in November to try to bring the reputed creature out of hiding, The (Raleigh) News & Observer reported Monday.

"Usually," Greene said of his previous Bigfoot hunts, "nothing at all happens. But you hear roaring in the bushes. They'll pitch rocks into camp, but they never hit anybody."

Greene said his team will try to root out the Sasquatch with low-tech methods such as banging on trees with baseball bats and leaving candy bars at their campsite.
