"Bigfoot" filmed for new TV show

Stories of Bigfoot sightings are often scoffed at, but if someone says he saw the big hairy beast last month in the mountains of West Virginia, it's true. A crew from the National Geographic Channel was in the state last month filming a show on the fabled creature.

Two actors dressed as a cross between a human and an ape were filmed in numerous scenes shot in Canaan Valley and Smokehole Caverns.

Stories of Bigfoot sightings are often scoffed at, but if someone says he saw the big hairy beast last month in the mountains of West Virginia, it's true. A crew from the National Geographic Channel was in the state last month filming a show on the fabled creature. Two actors dressed as a cross between a human and an ape were filmed in numerous scenes shot in Canaan Valley and Smokehole Caverns. Pam Haynes, director of the West Virginia Film Office, said, "West Virginia stood in for central Mongolia. They filmed for four days the week of July 10." The shoot was especially exciting for Charleston resident and Capital High teacher Robert Haddy, a special effects artist who was contacted by the National Geographic producer to turn two actors into Bigfoot creatures. "When they called me I was on my way to the beach," Haddy said. "And I hadn't had a vacation in five years. But I don't get very many of those kinds of calls. "I was very ecstatic.

Then they told me they needed it in a week. I told them there was no way I could do a suit like that in a week, and I was out of town. But the producer was insistent that I do the show. "And she needed two suits, not one," he said." Haddy squeezed in a few days at the beach, then headed home to tackle the Bigfoot project in time to meet the crew for filming.
