Do you love blurry photos of a hairy creature mid-stride? Have you been in the woods and seen something you can’t explain? Do you believe in Bigfoot? Then the Great Florida Bigfoot Conference could be for you, as it is set to return this spring.

The countdown has begun for the 9-hour conference that’s returning for its third annual event in Ocala, Florida, on April 22.

According to the Great Florida Bigfoot Conference’s website, this year’s event will feature an “all-star lineup of Bigfoot researchers, investigators, and authors” for event goers to speak with to hear their findings and experiences with the mythical beast.

Those looking for more information on the least photogenic creature ever known will be able to attend the event, as it is open to the public.

But anyone who wants to make sure they can get in should purchase a ticket in advance, according to organizers.

Expedition Bigfoot’s Ronny LeBlanc is listed as a headliner for the event being held at the World Equestrian Center in Ocala. He shared his excitement for the event, noting that there will be national and local experts speaking.

Among the discussion points will be the Skunk Ape, a creature believed to be the cousin of Bigfoot, which event goers say is often sighted roaming the swamps and forests of Florida. Hundreds of reported sightings were documented in the 1950s and 1970s by The Bigfoot Field Researchers Organization, ESPN-WFL reported.

Since 2010, the organization shared that 48 out of 67 counties have had a reported sighting.

However, whether or not the creatures truly exist remains a mystery, and the Great Florida Bigfoot Conference looks to dive deep into the possibility. For more information on the event or to get tickets, visit the conference’s website here.
