Bigfoot enthusiasts will finally get a chance to see if a team of Bigfoot researchers were able to find the mysterious creature during their hunt in Southwestern Pennsylvania last summer when the episode of "Finding Bigfoot" airs.

In August, the Bigfoot hunters starring on Animal Planet's hit television series "Finding Bigfoot" went on a search for the ape-like beast in the Fayette County area, which locals claim is a hot spot for supernatural activity and Bigfoot sightings. The "Finding Bigfoot" episode that was filmed in the region is scheduled to air at 10 p.m. on Jan. 25 on the Animal Planet.

According to the website's description of the episode, which is titled "Paranormal Squatchtivity," the team went "to Pennsylvania to investigate reports of Bigfoot activity in forests that are also allegedly haunted."

On the popular program, which is now in Season 6, 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.

Before the producers of "Finding Bigfoot" explored Uniontown to find a Sasquatch, they held a town hall meeting on Aug. 19, which was attended by 220 people from as far as Ohio and West Virginia, according to the Herald-Standard. During the meeting, people shared stories about their interactions with the mythical creature 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 "Finding Bigfoot" 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, said 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. "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," Mantooth added.
