Bigfoot and Beyond writes “Cliff Barackman and James “Bobo” Fay speak with the owners of the West Virginia Bigfoot Museum, David and Laurel Petolicchio! David and his mother Laurel discuss their interests in ‘squatchy things, the reports and evidence they receive in West Virginia, and much more in this episode!”

A Fantastic episdoe. They get gobs of people stopping in a very small town and lots of people giving David and Laurel their stories. Laurel said there Bigoot festival in late June brings in thousands of people. The native folks in this area seem to treat the Bigfoots as just another animal in the woods. One visitor had an amazing and damn near deadly story. He was a 3 tour Afganistan soldier and very large gentleman. He took this smallish woman who he wanted to date to the New River to swim. She got caught up in the fast moving river and swept downstream. He swam after her a long ways, finally caught up and tossed her up on a large boulder and pulled himself out as well. Looking toward the shore was this huge bigfoot that threw a large rock at him. He had to duck or the rock would have killed him with a head shot. Instead the rock hit his shoulder and did considerable damage. He showed the damage to Laurel. His thoughts went to the Bigfoot thought he was hurting the female. They immediately hugged and got back to shore. Best part was they are now married. A couple months back I heard a similar story outside on Minerva, OH.
