The Bigfoot hunters starring on Animal Planet's hit television series "Finding Bigfoot" went on a search for the mythical creature in southwestern Pennsylvania, an area that locals claim is a hot spot for supernatural activity and Bigfoot sightings.

On the popular program, which is now in its fifth season, four researchers travel to a different location in the United States and interview people who claim to have seen Bigfoot. Then the researchers set up re-enactments of the sighting to try to prove the existence of the mysterious creature.

The team consists of Bigfoot Field Research Organization (BFRO) President Matt Moneymaker, researchers James "Bobo" Fay and Cliff Barackman, and scientist Ranae Holland.

On Aug. 26, the producers of "Finding Bigfoot" explored Uniontown to find "a Sasquatch in these woods."

According to the Herald-Standard, Bigfoot believers from as far as Ohio and West Virginia were among the more than 200 people who attended a town hall meeting where people shared stories about their interactions with the ape-like creature. The meeting was held at the State Theatre Center for the Arts in Uniontown.

"We knew we needed a venue that was capable of holding all these people," said show producer Sean Mantooth. "It's beautiful and centrally located in downtown Uniontown. It was a great location."

Erica Miller, the executive director of the theater, mentioned that the theater received publicity from the show.

"We've had a lot of famous names and faces in here, but it's not every day we film a TV show here," she said, adding "It's great exposure for the theater."

"This is the best town hall meeting we've ever had - the sheer amount of stories we had - we literally did not have enough time before we had to start wrapping things up," said Mantooth.

"We've gotten a lot of support from the local community. They've been very welcoming to the cast and crew and made it a really good episode for us," he continued.
