The One Paranormal Festival In Texas That Will Spook You Into Oblivion

Good ol’ Bigfoot – we’ve been hearing about him for as long as we can remember, but I think it’s safe to say very few of us have actually taken time to research the history and mystery of the urban legend. Whether you’re a diehard believer or the biggest skeptic on the planet, October is a time to participate in Halloween festivities – even if you may find them a little hokey. The 17th Annual Texas Bigfoot Conference in Jefferson takes place on October 6 and 7, and it’s a fun way to get yourself into the holiday spirit (and maybe change your tune on how you feel about Sasquatch – who knows?).

The conference started back in 2001, so this will be the 17th anniversary. That means lots of people in Texas are interested in Bigfoot!

Three guest speakers have been confirmed: David Weatherly, Chester Moore, and Ken Gerhard. They'll be talking about the Native American-Bigfoot wars, a wildlife journalist's perspective on Bigfoot, and sightings around the world, respectively.

You might even be able to see some tracks! After all, East Texas is a heavily wooded area - perfect stomping grounds for Sasquatch. What do you think? Are these human footprints...or something else?

The festivities start on Friday night at 7 with dinner and a meet and greet with the speakers followed by presentations from 9:30 to 10.
