An eager crowd listened to a recording of the sounds of forest nightlife in an expansive banquet hall inside the Fort Worth Convention Center.
Crickets chirped, the wind rustled the leaves and a faint howl could be heard in the distance. A distant grunt could be heard in the background, followed shortly by the thunderous sound of a rock striking a tin roof. The reported source of the propelled stone: a Bigfoot, located in an undisclosed region of Oklahoma.
The 12th annual Texas Bigfoot Conference, a convention devoted solely to the crypto-zoological creature, drew hundreds of enthusiasts, researchers, authors and witnesses to this year’s event. Hosted by the North American Wood Ape Conservancy, the one-day event featured several lectures by key speakers from various backgrounds, as well as a vendor’s room showcasing everything from books and DVDs to foot castings.
