Now Biscardi is traveling across the country, and it appears his first stop is Illinois, where a Bloomington resident had a strange encounter last summer. Chris Vielhak was driving down State Route 66 when a large black creature ran at his car and gashed the side, leaving claw marks. Biscardi visited the area, and believes there are enough small animals to sustain Bigfoot. "I have a feeling," he says.

Across the pond, a different team of paranormal investigators are gearing up for a Bigfoot expedition in Canock Chase, a rural countryside in Staffordshire county, England. Since 1995, reports have been made there of a large hairy creature with glowing red eyes. In 2004, it was spotted at Castle Ring, an ancient hill fort.
