Ohio sees uptick in reported Bigfoot sightings, sparking debate

(CNN) - Do you believe that Bigfoot exists?

The long-running debate got a new spark in March due to an uptick in reported sightings in Ohio.

They were cataloged around Portage County, just east of Akron.

The reported unidentified figures were seen in the woods along the Mahoning River.

No clear photo of any Bigfoot has emerged after decades of searching.

Mike Miller, a Bigfoot hunter for nearly 20 years, shared this photo of a large footprint.

He said he is focused on uncovering the mystery.

Miller is convinced the alleged March sightings may have been evidence of a herd of Yeti on the move after a hard winter freeze gave way to a warmer-than-normal thaw.
