| Bigfoot researchers are coming to West Virginia for a three-day exploratory in April.
Efforts by the Herald to find out if the 18 researchers might visit Calhoun County, have not proved successful.
A Calhoun sighting was posted on the organizations website, saying a Bigfoot was sighted near Arnoldsburg.
The infamous 1967 "Patterson movie" showed a tall, furry, long-limbed, human-like creature quickly looking back toward the camera before lumbering away.
Millions have been fascinated with the legend.
The creature has often been reported to be about nine feet tall.
The Bigfoot Field Researchers Organization, an Internet-based community of scientists and journalists, have compiled the world's most extensive database of Bigfoot encounters and reports.
BFRO investigator Stephen Willis, a retired U.S. Army first sergeant and Webster County native, said, "A lot of people have this impression that Sasquatch only exists in the Northwest, but they are everywhere that you can imagine as long as there is a deer population for food and shelter to protect them from severe winter weather."
Willis said his group will not disclose the exact location of this year's search for fear that curiosity seekers and media could mess-up the search.
