Join us at Southwest Virginia Cultural Center on Wednesday, July 31st for an evening of the mysterious "Paranormal Bigfoot"! This is one of the latest films written and directed by Bill & Amy Lancaster. Together, they are small business owners in SWVA who also enjoy following cryptozoology and other fringe subjects. "Paranormal Bigfoot" is an investigation into a segment of the Sasquatch Community that believe there is more to the mysterious creature than a simple animal. "Paranormal Bigfoot" exposes an uncomfortable and divisive topic for those who look to represent themselves as scientifically credible. Yet the question remains, can the scientific process validate even the strangest of evidence? Tickets are $7 and VIP tickets are $15 (early entry and drink ticket included). Doors open at 7:30 and beer, wine, and snacks will be available.... See MoreSee Less
