weareindiana.net writes “Kentucky is prime territory for Bigfoot sightings. In May 2025, there is a big event planned to celebrate the elusive cryptid, and you’re invited!
Most Elusive Cryptid of Our Time
Bigfoot is perhaps both the most well-known, and most elusive of the cryptids rumored to inhabit North America. There have been reported sightings and encounters of the mammoth beast, also known as Sasquatch, that have been documented all across the internet.
Where Did Bigfoot Begin?
Where exactly did the legend of Bigfoot begin? According to History.com, it all started with a journalist in 1958, and a Sunday paper headline.
It was in a follow-up article in the same newspaper that it was reported that the loggers had begun referring to the mysterious creature responsible for the tracks as “Big Foot.”
The Lore Continues
Was the tale shared by the California loggers truly the beginning or was this only the first known public report? We may never know for sure but one thing is certain, the lore of these creatures has endured for decades.

Bigfoot in Kentucky
Bigfoot is such a big deal, that there are even entire organizations dedicated to hunting and tracking the creature, like the Kentucky Bigfoot Research Organization. In the video above shared by the Kentucky Bigfoot Research Organization, a US Marine Corp. veteran shares details of his encounter in Daviess County, Kentucky, just outside of the city of Owensboro.
Big Foot Festival in the Commonwealth of Kentucky
In celebration of the elusive creature, one Kentucky town is planning a festival. The Stanton Tourism and Convention Commission will host a Bigfoot Fest in the beautiful Red River Gorge of Kentucky!
Red River Gorge Bigfoot Fest is Free to Attend
The event will feature a Bigfoot contest, games, music, vendors and more. They are even planning a drive-in to show Bigfoot movies! The Red River Gorge Bigfoot Fest will take place May 30 – 31, 2025, and is completely free to attend. To learn more, visit RRGbigfoot.com.“

Thanks Wes for always bringing the Bigfoot Festivals and Conferences to our attention. This one must be hosted by Charlie and Lyndsey Raymond of the Kentucky BRO. They own a hotel adjacent to Stanton, KY in Clay City, Ky and I will try to attend. This area of Ky, according to Charlie is close to where Daniel Boone and his son purportedly shot a Yahoo (Daniels description from Guliver’s Travels) that they measured at 10 foot 6 inches tall along the Licking River.
