A California-based research team has left the Wiregrass without finding conclusive evidence of Bigfoot.

Bigfoot expert Tom Biscardi believes several sightings near the Coffee/Geneva County line were credible.

Over the years, there have been several encounters with a large, hairy creature that appears to be half man, half beast.

Biscardi believes there was a pod of Bigfoot heading further south for warmer conditions.

At this time, the team is en route to western Pennsylvania following a credible sighting there.

The researchers are expected to return to Coffee County in the near future for a follow-up visit.
