Among a certain cast of Americans, there’s a belief beyond reasonable doubt that a human-sized ape-like creature is roaming the tree-lined forests of North America, looking for eternal companionship or a nice, tasty snack at the very least.
That creature, lovingly referred to as “Bigfoot,” has never been confirmed to be a real thing, though there are hundreds of reported sightings of the creature through the years, with countless blurry photos of the creature in question during recent decades.
If you were to see Bigfoot in Georgia, what county would it be in? Using data from The Bigfoot Field Researchers Organization BetGeorgia.com compiled the number of credible sightings of Bigfoot by county that were credited and maintained by researchers, archivists, and investigators of Bigfoot. We then developed odds projecting the chance of seeing Bigfoot in Georgia counties.
County | Percentage Chance | Odds |
White | 28.6% | +250 |
Paulding | 18.2% | +450 |
Cherokee | 15.4% | +550 |
Walker | 13.3% | +650 |
Polk | 6.3% | +1500 |
Other County | 18.2% | +450 |
With 145 reported sightings of Bigfoot in Georgia, per BFRO, there’s no shortage of opportunities to see the mythical beast in the Peach State, though certain areas of Georgia have better odds than others, with White County in the northeastern portion of the state being the top viewing spot, odds wise, at +250.
Throw in Paulding County in Georgia’s northwest at +450, Cherokee County at +550 and Walker County at +650 and you have the upper end of the Peach State’s Bigfoot viewing odds board covered, with Polk County being the other to make the cut, at +1500.
Of the five, none hold better Bigfoot odds than the county close to the South Carolina line that had a Census population of 28,003 in 2020, as White County is your top viewing spot for the mythical creature, odds wise, in the year of our lord 2025.
