September 11 - 14 (Thurs. - Sun.)
BFRO organizers bring expedition
participants to areas where they will have encounters with Bigfoots at
night. The odds of success depend on their selection of locations, among
other things.
Selecting the best locations depends upon
sighting/encounter information -- the more, the better -- so the
BFRO selects organizers who have the most information in a given
state, and who have experience organizing trips there.
The organizer of this trip is Larry
Sidwell, who has organized and/or attended several BFRO expeditions over the years.
West Virginia is often overshadowed by Ohio in terms of media
attention related to bigfoots. Prior to the Internet there seemed
to be relatively few sightings etc. reported in West Virginia, compared to
Ohio and Pennsylvania, likely because there were no monthly meetings for
bigfoot researchers as had been happening in Ohio for many years, and
occasionally in Pennsylvania.
Once the Internet came around in the
1990's and the BFRO provided an easy way to report sightings, West Virgina
reports started to come in at a decent rate.
The BFRO conducted a
few expeditions in West Virgnia prior to "Finding Bigfoot". Then the BFRO
appeared in three episodes, partly or fully in West Virginia, for the
popular TV series.
West Virginia may have the high density of bigfoots east of
Mississippi. Their numbers are strongly tied to a combination of
terrain preferences and deer population. The terrain across this state is
exactly the sort of forested hill and mountain terrain they prefer, along
with a very high deer population that is not decreasing at all.
Larry Sidwell is taking registrations for this trip
now. You will be
put in touch with him if you follow the
instructions on the Frequently
Asked Questions page.
