Looking For Bigfoot In Illinois State ParksMost serious bigfoot researchers do not "look for bigfoot". Instead they look for evidence such as footprints, stick formations, hair, twisted tree trunks, nests or bedding areas. My area of interest is audio recording. And since most bigfoot activity is at night, most of my recordings are remotely done by leaving audio recorders in selected locations over night. Why my interest in the Illinois State Parks? Illinois being a great agricultural state has less public lands than most states, being ranked 48th. Public lands in Illinois include the state park system, municipal properties, Shawnee National Forest, etc. So by going camping with my family I am able to get into certain areas to do my research. Unless one owns private land or has special access to private land bigfoot researchers are restricted to public lands. Most of my recordings at My Unknown Sounds were recorded on public lands. And all the pictures on this page were also taken on public lands. Finding evidence involves three things: 1) Being fortunate enough by being in the right place at the right time. 2) Being knowledgable about knowing what to look for. 3) Being patient and having perserverance to keep up "the hunt". As time goes on and I visit different areas in Illinois I will set up a page for that specific area. I will provide a specific link when I either have some pictures, recordings or other information posted. Public areas that I have researched in Illinois include: State of Illinois Public Lands: Argyle Lake State Park Cave-in-Rock State Park Denby Prairie Nature Preserve Dixon Springs State Park Eagle Creek State Recreation Area Eldon Hazlet State Recreation Area Illini State Park Jim Edgar Panther Creek State Fish and Wildlife Area Pere Marquette State Park Revis Hill Prairie Nature Preserve Sand Ridge State Forest Sand Prairie-Scrub Oak Nature Preserve Sanganois State Fish & Wildlife Area Sangchris Lake State Recreation Area Siloam Springs State Park Starved Rock State Park Wolf Creek State Park Municipal Lands: Lake Lu Yeager (Litchfield) Carpenter Park (Springfield) Schyrush Lake (Rushville) Federal Lands: Shawnee National Forest: Garden of the Gods Chautauqua National Wildlife Refuge |
