Have you or someone you know seen a peculiar shape in the Brown County woods? You may be eligible for validation and connection with like-minded individuals at Indiana’s first ever Bigfoot Conference, hosted in beautiful and mysterious Brown County.
The conference is on the books for Friday and Saturday and is sponsored by the Indiana Bigfoot Research Organization.
The Indiana Bigfoot Research Organization is a non-profit organization that was first created in 2005 as a way to provide reports of Bigfoot sightings around Indiana while researching areas to gather and document more information, according to the Indiana Bigfoot Research Organization’s website (ibroindiana.com/).
Reports are separated by county and can be submitted on the website. At the time of this writing, Brown County has four reported incidents dating back to 1980 with the most recent in 2015.
Those reports can be found online at ibroindiana.com/ibro/reports/brown-county/.
