[ominous music] - I've always had an interest in the paranormal.

Everybody was okay with that.

Everyone had a ghost story they heard from their mother, their grandmother or something.

The Brown Mountain Lights, the Macon Light, North Carolina's full of legends and all these other things.

Once we start talking about Bigfoot, then we cross the crazy line, right?

Now we're in the world of being abducted by aliens.

Everyone's got ghost stories.

Very, very few places have Bigfoot stories, let alone stuff happening right now.

My name is Stephen Barcelo.

I'm a commissioner in the town of Littleton, North Carolina, and we are at the Cryptozoology Paranormal Museum, which I run.

Cryptozoology is a study of creatures not proven to science, Bigfoot, Jersey Devil, Mothman, things of that sort.

I'm telling the stories of things that have been around here for well over 100 years, and people seem to be enjoying the heck out of it.

- [Woman] They saw a sighting of Bigfoot.

[ominous music] - [Man] Tell us what you saw.

- [Man] I know I saw a Bigfoot.

- [Man] Did it scare you?

- [Woman] Yeah.

- Now since I've been here, and I've only lived here eight years, I've had four separate sightings on [indistinct].

Bigfoot, we're not sure exactly what it is.

Now, we have a lot of folks that come in here to feel they're interdimensional or they're tied to UFOs.

You know, basically it's sort of like the aliens' pet.

Personally, I lean towards the fact that these things are flesh and blood.

This is the closest we've got to what they're seeing in here, and these things are seen moving in family pods.

It's not just one creature.

So you have some of the large, big prints that got the splayed toes, and you can see some are just downright kinda odd-looking, almost alien-looking.

As far as casting the prints, we actually sell the material in the museum.

We have Bigfoot go bags, we have evidence kits, and then of course, we give you information on places to go in the area so you can go out and do your own investigating.

It's amazing how many people have come out and never done this.

Once they get into it, they're hooked, they're done.

And next, you know, they're explaining to the wives why they're dropping, you know, $800 for a flare scope and buy this equipment.

When we go out, you know, myself, Johnny, George, we take it very serious.

We'll go camping and we're not there to camp.

We're there to investigate all night long, and we've caught some amazing stuff.

I mean, just look at that.

I mean, you just do kind of a general scan.

There's no way you gonna miss a person or a creature out there.

In here, it's up in here where I got that.

They came at my head, the parabolic dish that I could hear movement, and then with a scope I could see some heat once in a while and I figure it was a deer or something like that and then all of a sudden I can see it was upright.

It just looked too big and it was moving too smoothly in the dark with no headlamp.

It's either a Bigfoot or a really big naked camper.

I guess the moral of the story is don't give up.

There's a whole 'nother world just around the corner that we generally don't see.

We're just telling the stories.
