Thom Cantrall – Founder of International Society for Primal People – Conference Organizer
Thom is a fifth generation son of the west and has been in sasquatch research for over sixty years. His years spent as a forester and logger on Washington’s Olympic Peninsula afforded him the opportunity for a solid basis on which to enjoy a lifetime of investigation of this enigma. He has recently concluded a formal five year investigation into sasquatch made glyphs and structures based in his team’s research base in British Columbia, Canada. Health concerns have limited his field time recently, but he remains active as an advisor and Senior Affiliate to such research groups as “Squatching with Barb and Gabby”, “West Georgia Sasquatch Research Group” and Dr. Igor Burtsev’s, “Forest People’s Communications”. Thom is a prolific writer, having penned ten books on the subject and is currently working on an eleventh. www.GhostsofRubyRidge.com
Scott Taylor
Scott Taylor has been a BFRO investigator for many years now. He has investigated over 120 reports and has been on expeditions in Washington, Oregon and Utah every year since 2006. Scott has personally seen six sasquatch and has been a mere three feet from one in the dark. He is most interested in habituation studies. Scott will speak on his experiences in the woods with these magnificent creatures and will discuss how to establish your own relationship with these remarkable beings. Scott will offer tips on the “do’s and dont’s” for the novice or the in-depth results of his findings for the professional.
Ron Morehead
Best known for the Sierra Sounds, Ron Morehead is an adventurist, researcher, author, and producer. He’s been known for decades for his world-wide research into the Bigfoot/Sasquatch phenomenon. The Sierra Sounds are the only Bigfoot recordings that have been scientifically studied, time-tested, and accredited as being genuine. Ron has documented his personal interactions with these giant beings and produced his story on CD and in his book, “Voices in the Wilderness.”
Keith is a researcher from Western Georgia and is the author of the very fine volume, “Forest Friends of the Night”. Keith began as an agnostic if not a complete skeptic but when things began happening that he could not explain on the family hunting lease, he had to stop and reassess his opinions. Fortunately, he was open-minded enough to be able to do this without harming his basic psyche. Over the years, his investigations have led him to understand that what he was dealing with was not an unfeeling, unthinking animal but a sapient being, one capable of independent thought and reasoning. It has only been in the past handful of years that he has come to know the sasquatch people on a face to face basis, but since that has happened he has grown by leaps and bounds in his understanding of the nature of them. This weekend, Keith will share with us his latest research and activity in the field.
Sandy Nelson
Sandy is rapidly becoming a prime forensic investigator. It was her work that preserved the site of the two butt casts from the east side of the Cascade Mountains in September of 2018. She has been with the “Squatchin’ with Barb and Gabby” group for several years now after having met the Barb half of the team at a monthly meeting then conducted by Dr. Matt Johnson in the Tacoma, Washington area. Since those simple beginnings, that team has gone on to conduct the best outdoor expeditions investigating this phenomenon of any I have seen. Sandy will be teaching us how to preserve and keep safe anything found of interest. This will be done in two Sunday outdoor classes in Greenwater, Washington.
