Bigfoot Statue Made of Mount St. Helens Ash: Museum Owner's Story

In a recent video from the YouTube channel Bigfoot and Beyond Podcast, hosts Cliff Barkman and Matt Puit interview guest Joe Bongiovanni, a Bigfoot researcher and owner of the Mount St. Helens Museum at North Fork Survivors. The interview takes place in front of the museum's most famous attraction, a 22-foot tall concrete Bigfoot statue named "Barie" after Blair Barner, a friend of Bongiovanni's who owned the property where the museum now stands. The museum is located in the area known as Maple Flats and Kid Valley, which was devastated by the mudflow from the eruption of Mount St. Helens in 1980. The A-frame building that once stood on the property was buried in eight feet of mud and has since been excavated and turned into a tourist attraction. Visitors can now walk around the building and see the effects of the eruption up close. Bongiovanni has a long history with Bigfoot research, having appeared on the television show Finding Bigfoot and having his own personal experiences with the creature. In the interview, he shares some of his encounters and discusses the importance of preserving the history and folklore surrounding Bigfoot. The Mount St. Helens Museum at North Fork Survivors is a must-visit for any Bigfoot enthusiast. Not only can visitors see the famous Bigfoot statue, but they can also learn about the history of the area and the impact the eruption of Mount St. Helens had on the surrounding communities. The museum is open year-round and offers guided tours, making it the perfect destination for a day trip or a weekend getaway. As a Bigfoot believer and a curator of all things Sasquatch, I highly recommend checking out this video and visiting the Mount St. Helens Museum at North Fork Survivors. Who knows, you might just have your own Bigfoot sighting while you're there!
