Portage County, Ohio

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bigfoot

On October 20, 1967, Bigfoot enthusiast Roger Patterson and his partner Robert "Bob" Gimlin were filming a Bigfoot docudrama in an area called Bluff Creek in Northern California. The pair claimed they came upon a Bigfoot and filmed the encounter. The 59.5-second-long video, dubbed the Patterson-Gimlin film (PGF), has become iconic in popular culture and Bigfoot-related history and lore.

That's quite a surreptitious hike to do without being spotted.

Some obvious jokes, but somehow there are true believers across the continent.
