Weird Wednesday: Bigfoot Search to be Conducted by Scientists in China

Posted: 08 Dec 2010 06:19 AM PST

All around the world, people have had sightings of Bigfoot, and China is no different. Read all about preparations for an ambitious expedition by Chinese scientists. The difference between a North American Bigfoot Expedition and a Chinese Bigfoot expedition is that Chinese scientists are involved in the effort! Read an excerpt from an amazing news report:

Chinese scientists are considering launching a high-profile search for an ape-like Bigfoot creature in central China’s Hubei province, nearly 30 years after the last organized expedition to seek the legendary beast in the early 1980s.

Scientists are hoping the expedition could end the long-running debate on the existence of the creature, according to Wang Shancai, a 75-year-old expert with the Hubei Provincial Institute of Cultural Relics and Archaeology. He is also the vice president of the Hubei Wild Man Research Association — organizer of the expedition.

Located deep in the remote mountains in Hubei, Shennongjia Nature Reserve has long been rumored to be the home of the elusive creature known in China as the “Yeren,” or “Wild man.” It is also referred to as “Bigfoot” after the legendary North American ape-man.

More than 400 people have claimed Bigfoot sightings in the Shennongjia area since last century, but no hard evidence has been found to prove its existence.
