Cliff Barackman waits for filming to start. James “Bobo” Fay talks with a fan of the show. TONY SHOEMAKE PHOTOS Town Hall meeting filmed in Hosford for an upcoming episode of ‘Finding Bigfoot’

by Teresa Eubanks, Journal Editor People from surrounding counties gathered to share some unusual stories with the crew from Animal Planet’s “Finding Bigfoot” series last week at the Wesleyan Church in Hosford. Some fans of the show joined local folks who described encounters with something they can’t quite explain for the Town Hall segment featured in each episode. Those taking part in the invitation-only gathering had to sign agreements not to share what they heard inside before the show airs later in the year. As the camera crew filmed people describing what they believe to be Bigfoot-related sightings, they were being filmed by another crew for a behind-the-scenes special. During breaks in filming, the show’s cast - including Matt Moneymaker, Cliff Barackman, Ranae Holland and James “Bobo” Fay - met with fans and signed a few autographs. Chad Hammel, the show’s co- executive producer who has worked on 40 “Finding Bigfoot” episodes (including eight that have yet to air) said they spent six days filming in Liberty, Leon and Gadsden counties before leaving Monday. Their efforts were met with a week of heavy rain but, “We have to work with what Mother Nature gives you,” he said. His show is a little more challenging than most reality shows, he said, because, “We’re out in the woods a lot following people around.” Barackman spent a rainy night camping in Torreya State Park hoping to recreate a sighting reported last year by Stacy Brown, Sr. and Jr., father-and-son Bigfoot hunters from Crawfordville. Hammel said they had a great turnout Animal Planet Channel Executive Producer Keith Hoffman is filmed inside the Wesleyan Church in Hosford as he hosts a at the Feb. 19 Town Hall meeting. behind-the-scenes look at the “Finding Bigfoot” show during breaks in last week’s Town Hall Meeting. “Everyone was really nice and open with their stories,” he said.
