California takes steps toward officially recognizing Bigfoot

California Assemblyman Chris Rogers has proposed AB 666 to designate Bigfoot as the state's official cryptid, reflecting ongoing debates about the creature's place in folklore.
California has a history of Bigfoot sightings, particularly in Northern California, with the last recorded sighting occurring in Humboldt County in September 2024.
Despite 463 reported sightings in California, scientists maintain there is no scientific evidence confirming Bigfoot's existence.
If passed, the bill will require a majority vote in the California State Assembly to become law.
