Where the Wild Things Are Texas Observer

Stayton Bonner visited the recent Ninth Annual Texas Bigfoot Conference, hosted by the Texas Bigfoot Research Conservancy. Bonner talked with many attendees and presents much of their stance regarding the search for the most elusive cryptid of all. Bigfoot research celebrities, such as Bob Gimlin of the Patterson/Gimlin 1967 Brushy Creek Bigfoot film fame and Smokey Crabtree of The Legend of Boggy Creek, as well as award-winning naturalist/author Peter Mathiessen and high strangeness author Nick Redfern were in attendance. With images and video. Also in attendance were many vendors, including one selling the "Sasqwatch," a timepiece featuring a plastic of a Bigfoot footprint, an example of which you'll find on the unfamiliar arm that accompanies a familiar face at Nick Redfern's "There's Something in the Woods". That arm appears again with a different timepiece in a photo that accompanies a tribute to a fallen comrade and news of a much-anticipated book due for release next year, as you'll see in Contactees, Cryptoterrestrials & Mac.
