Two Sasquatch hunters died after they went missing while searching for the elusive mythical creature in the Oregon wilderness on Christmas Eve.
The bodies of the two men, ages 37 and 59 years old, were found in a heavily wooded area of the Gifford Pinchot National Forest in Washington State, the Skamania County Sheriff’s Office said Saturday.
Police said the pair appeared to have died of exposure amid the harsh weather conditions and their ill-preparedness for the forest.
The men had set out on their excursion into the wilderness hoping to spot Bigfoot with intentions to return home before Christmas.

A family member reported the two men missing to Skamania County police at around 1 a.m. on Dec. 25.
A “grueling” three-day search was conducted for the men as over 60 volunteer search and rescue personnel took to the area looking for the Bigfoot fanatics.
