Despite the lack of hardcore evidence, Bigfoot enthusiasts seem to never be swayed when it comes to their belief in the mysterious creature.

On Sept. 25, members of the Southeastern Ohio Society for Bigfoot Investigation (SOSBI) held a forum at the Putnam County Library in Ottawa, Ohio, to discuss their observations of the existence of Sasquatch.

Doug Waller and Shawn Parker, the founders of the organization, talked about the number of eyewitness accounts of Bigfoot in Ohio and across the nation, which they have been collecting for years of sightings, reports the Putnam County Sentinel.

They aksi used a pinwheel map of Ohio to display the locations where there have been sightings and huge footprints.

According to Waller, there have been numerous sightings in Salt Fork State Park in Guernsey County, Kenton in Harden County and Mount Vernon in Knox County. Those accounts suggest that the creatures are about 7-8 feet tall and leave 19-20 inch footprints. Their faces and hands are also covered in hair.

Waller's book, "Standing in the Shadows," features a collections of Bigfoot stories from the Southeastern part of the state.

In addition to the enthusiasts who collect data of Bigfoot, there are 70 scientists from around the world who have been committed to searching for the mythical creature for the last four decades.

"We are different from other Bigfoot researchers in the sense that we start with the certainty that Bigfoot exists, so we focus our studies on its behavior and classification within the animal kingdom," said Rhettman Mullis, a Bellevue psychologist and the founder of Bigfootology.com, reports EFE.

Over the summer, he co-authored a scientific report published that concluded that multiple DNA samples allegedly extracted from different Bigfoots actually belonged to other animals. Still, Mullis says that he and his team of researchers at the Western Bigfoot Society are determined to find proof that Sasquatch exists.

The Bigfoot Society, which Mullis chairs, is located in the Pacific Northwest and Washington state, two areas with the largest number of Bigfoot sightings in dense forests and mountainous regions.

The 70-member team is comprised of experts in genetics, primates, zoology and biology from the United States, Canada, Britain, Russia and Australia, who share the common goal to classify Bigfoot among animal species.
