Saturday Presenter Schedule:

10:00 am: Legacy Discoveries

Established in April of 2023, in Coeur D' Alene Idaho. Legacy Discoveries is a diverse team of boots on the ground paranormal and Cryptid field researchers, dedicated to the truth. We research all aspects of the Sasquatch and other cryptids alike, including the woo. We at Legacy Discoveries understand the Sasquatch not as a monster, or primate, but as a parallel human species. It is our intention to protect the clans we research, while spreading awareness of their human capacity. The idea for Legacy is to become a trusted non biased data center for anyone willing to learn in a respectable safe way. We believe anything can be possible until proven otherwise. Understand that the Sasquatch phenomenon has only been dismissed and redirected. Not debunked, nor proven imaginary. These occurrences do happen, and Legacy Discoveries has taken it upon themselves to get to the truth of the forest people across the states from East coast to West coast. And from Texas to Alaska. Whether you believe or are just plain curious, Legacy Discoveries welcomes you to join the search for the truth!

12:30 pm: Thom Cantrell

Thom is a veteran of more than 66 years of research in the field of Sasquatch.  His interest was piqued by the 1958 Jerry Crew incident in far Northern California, a spot not far distant from him Sonoma, California area home.  That interest grew through the 1960’s until the US Navy transferred him to Washington’s Olympic Peninsula where he lived and worked through the 1970’s and into the 1980’s.  His time here taught him the basics of these people we call Sasquatch with many sightings and several very close encounters.  This continued on into the new century until 2010 when, on September 25th of that year, he met his “Teacher”…  The sasquatch being who brought him to where he is now… having experienced these people from Alaska to Georgia.  He is the author of 15 books on the subject and a popular presenter at Sasquatch Conferences and Festivals from coast to coast.  His 81 years have slowed him some, but he still gets out when he can and he attends several conferences and festivals each year, enjoying the opportunity to talk to people and helping them to understand this being we call Sasquatch!
