About 40 percent of Washington residents think he could be, according to a poll from insurance company PEMCO.
The slightly-opportunistic poll comes on the heels of a Bigfoot sighting in Eastern Washington. And given that one of PEMCO’s beloved “Northwest profiles” features a Sasquatch hunter — hey, why not?
PEMCO surveyed users online and found out many are open to the idea that Bigfoot is lumbering through the woods somewhere.
Nearly four out of 10 surveyed responded — rather vaguely –that they think it’s possible Sasquatch exists. Maybe more importantly, about 13 percent said they’ve seen a Sasquatch or know someone who has.
OK, so what about other strange phenomena? PEMCO asked customers if they believe in UFO sightings — spacecraft that can’t be identified by anyone. And 55 percent responded in the affirmative.
“I guess it’s appropriate that ‘The X-Files’ was shot on location in the Northwest, in Vancouver, B.C.,” said PEMCO spokesman Jon Osterberg.
