BEVERLY HILLS, CALIF.: Cliff Barackman together with his castmates from the hitting Animal Planet show, "Finding Bigfoot," were facing a pretty tough crowd Th at the 2012 Television Critics Association Summer Press Tour.

Barackman, who lives inwards Portland, together with his beau bigfoot researchers, James "Bobo" Fay, Matt Moneymaker together with the show's resident skeptic/biologist, Ranae Holland, accept their investigations into bigfoot sightings unopen to the province seriously. But the critics together with reporters on manus were, at to the lowest degree initially, non what you'd telephone telephone on board.

Getting things off to a bumpy start were questions similar this one, directed toward an executive from Animal Planet: "What's made Animal Planet concentrate on bigfoot, cause got they run out of existent animals?"

On Twitter, critics were making snarky comments. But midway through, the musical note started to change, equally Barackman together with his cohorts made a sincere instance for keeping an opened upwards heed near the being of bigfoots -- nosotros too learned that's how y'all refer to bigfoot inwards plural. (Don't telephone telephone them bigfeet.)

Also, there's non only 1 bigfoot, equally Barackman believes, based on eyewitness sightings, photos together with footprint evidence. He theorizes that bigfoots are primates, a shape of ape that may too last real "human-like."

Before the panel, Barackman told me that his involvement inwards researching bigfoot partly accounts for why the Long Beach, Calif., native injure upwards moving to Portland, near 4 years ago. "I"m sort of a weird guy, together with thence I experience at dwelling there," Barackman said equally nosotros sat inwards the antechamber of the Beverly Hills Hotel, site of the TCA tour.

And, he added, "Bigfoots alive correct exterior of Portland," citing reports of bigfoot encounters inwards the Sandy River area, together with Clackamas County, for example. Not that they're express to the Northwest, Barackman added, equally he together with the "Finding Bigfoot" squad cause got together with thence far visited 22 states for the show.

Barackman, 41, outset got intrigued yesteryear bigfoot, or Sasquatch, investigation when he was inwards college, together with came upon scholarly reports discussing the possibility of bigfoot-like creatures. Though he has a marking inwards jazz guitar, together with has been a schoolteacher (at Cascade Heights Public Charter School, with others) Barackman is at 1 time working fulltime on Sasquatch research.

"Finding Bigfoot," which debuted inwards 2011, has been a hitting for Animal Planet, ranking equally the cable network's third-most watched show, behind "River Monsters" together with  "Whale Wars." The novel flavour of shows begins inwards November, with xi novel episodes.

Barackman, who is single, said that equally much equally he feels at dwelling inwards Portland, his Sasquatch travels choke on him on the route together with thence much he hasn't been able to pass much fourth dimension inwards the Rose City, fifty-fifty though he only bought a house.

And he's non concerned yesteryear skeptics who intend searching for bigfoot is a rather eccentric, shall nosotros say, calling. "It doesn't affair to me," he said. "When you're right, y'all don't cause got to testify it to anybody."

As to whether he's personally seen a bigfoot, Barackman cites the "Finding Bigfoot" episode shot inwards North Carolina. It was the middle of the night, inwards the woods, but Barackman thinks the creature he saw wasn't a human, but could real good cause got been a Sasquatch.

His conclusion: "I mightiness cause got seen one. But I can't last certain I saw one."
