Pamula Pierce-Barcelou is the daughter of independent film pioneer, Charles B. Pierce (The Town That Dreaded Sundown). Pamula has recently acquired copyright to his first film, the groundbreaking documentary (docudrama), 'The Legend of Boggy Creek', and has restored/remastered (4K) this classic at The George Eastman Museum, and Audio Mechanics. 'The Legend of Boggy Creek' is the "granddaddy" of all Bigfoot films, and has inspired countless filmmakers, including 'The Blair Witch Project's Eduardo Sanchez and Dan Myrick, and a rapidly growing sector of science, "Cryptozoology". 

This is 'The Legend of Boggy Creek's first authorized release since 1975, and replaces decades of "pan and scan" bootleg prints...finally restoring the wide-screen Techniscope format, the critically-acclaimed cinematography, and Jaime Mendoza-Nava's beloved soundtrack (including the creature's terrifying scream), all captured from original elements! 

Pierce-Barcelou appears in 'The Legend of Boggy Creek' alongside her actual mom playing 'Bessie Smith', who implores her children not to run! as well as the later, 'Boggy Creek 2- The Legend Continues'. She has worked as a MUA for her dad, and many others. 

Pierce-Barcelou is also the Administratrix of The Charles B. Pierce Estate, in addition to being a wife, and mom of 5 children.

William Lunsford, is from Texarkana, Arkansas and has had over 40 Bigfoot sightings. He's been researching them for 43 years. He saw the Fouke monster in 1977 and he's been hooked on the subject of Bigfoot ever since. As a teenager, William was walking down a road when he saw something strange. “And this thing was on the side off the road. He had squatted down, and he had a limb in front of his face. And he stands up. he lifts this limb and then he keeps standing up." Lunsford stood frozen in fear. “And he looks at me, and he's just wobbling, but you can see his eyes. They're as black as coals. It looked like he was reading my mail, and I just thought "Oh my gosh!" I knew what I was seeing. He sits there for a minute. He teeters, and turns and just that quick. In two steps, he was in the woods."

William researches in multiple states and has had several experiences. Due to all of his sightings and experiences, he has tons of great stories to share!
