OKLAHOMA CITY -- If you have an interest in the mysterious and paranormal then you may want to head down to Atoka on October 22 and 23 for the annual Boggy Depot Bigfoot Conference.
The Boggy Depot Bigfoot Conference is not only a chance for folks to learn more about the elusive cryptozoological creature but it is also an opportunity for money to be raised for the Children's Miracle Network.
Among the activities taking place includes the 5k Bigfoot Charity Run/Walk and Bigfoot Movies in the park.
And among the amazing speakers at the conference attendees will hear from cryptozoologists/authors Nick Redfern (Science Fiction Secrets, There's Something in the Woods), Ken Gerhard (Big Bird: Modern Sightings of Flying Monsters), Cullan Hudson (Strange State: Mysteries and Legends of Oklahoma), as well as Scott Nelson, who will talk about a Sasquatch language, Choctaw storyteller Olin Williams, New Zealand-based guest Daniel Falconer, and Robert Swain, writer/artists of "Laughsquatch."
And beyond discussions about Bigfoot, author Cullan Hudson and Kendall Rubio, with Paranormal Investigations of North Texas, will discuss their investigations in Oklahoma and Texas.
Additionally, there will be activities for children, including facepainting, Choctaw-related learning opportunities (basket making, stickball, pottery making, bow and arrow usage, etc.), and the Sick Reality Car Club, which will feature "some of the coolest cars ever assembled."
There will be plenty of vendors on hand selling foods, drinks, and neat Sasquatch-related merchandise.
Admission for the Boggy Depot Bigfoot Conference is $10 for adults and children under 13 are admitted for free.

And to read a story that your Red Dirt Reporter wrote nearly six years ago related to Bigfoot sightings and research, here is an Alexandria-Pineville, La. Town Talk news article I wrote headlined "Bigfoot hunter gets airtime on Canadian children's TV show." This was one of many articles I wrote on Bigfoot during the six years I worked as a reporter for The Town Talk.
