The West Virginia Bigfoot Museum in Sutton, West Virginia is a building that consists of no more than a handful of rooms, but houses one of the largest collections of bigfoot casts in the world.
Visitors from Hawaii to France have come to see the museum—a mixture of bigfoot believers, skeptics, and the simply curious.
The museum is run by Laurel Petolicchio and her son David, who said the whole thing started by accident, as the museum originally began as a consignment store to show off local craft makers. Laurel said one day a local wood carver brought in a statue of the creature to promote his work, and after that, they had many locals come in to look at the carving who then began sharing their own bigfoot encounters with the family.
