Special Guest Bill Dranginis from Virginia Bigfoot Research Organization

Virginia's foremost Bigfoot researcher. He founded Virginia Bigfoot Research (wdranginis@VirginiaBig footResearch.org) and spends an average of one weekend a month using a high-tech mobile laboratory to track his elusive quarry. Between expeditions, he works to design and perfect surveillance cameras and listening devices that will aid him in his search. Most weeks, Dranginis says he devotes about 20 hours to his new quest in life: to conclusively document a Bigfoot sighting and prove to the world that the mythical creature really exists.
