What is Creature Weekend?
Creature Weekend is a conference dedicated to the exploration and discussion of Cryptozoology. Held annually in Cambridge, Ohio, the conference attracts researchers from all over the USA and features speakers on various cryptozoological topics. Whether you are an experienced researcher, armchair enthusiast, or someone who would like to learn about the exciting field of cryptozoology, Creature Weekend offers something for everyone in a friendly and fun environment. We regularly have workshops that teach beginners and veterans the proper way to collect potential evidence for the existence of Cryptids and offer hikes into the field for a real investigative experience. We also sponsor a Summer Campout that is a family friendly way to share your experiences and best practices in the field with others who share your passion.
What is Cryptozoology?
Cryptozoology is the study of hidden animals, i.e. animals that have yet to be identified by science or thought to have been long extinct. Bigfoot, Dogmen, The Abominable Snowman, The Loch Ness Monster, Thunderbirds and many other mysterious and elusive creatures fall into this category.

2016 CONFERENCE UPDATE (5/20/2016)
Big News! Creature Weekend is extremely excited to announce that "The Beast of Whitehall : The Abair Road Incident" will be shown during the Dinner Break at the Creature Weekend Conference on June 4, 2016. "The Beast of Whitehall" is an award-winning film recounting the chilling sightings of the beast of Whitehall in the summer of 1976 in Upstate NY. Seth Breedlove, the film’s director and editor, has created Beast of Whitehall, an atmospheric film that will intrigue anyone with an interest in the timeless legend of Bigfoot, or other similar community lore surrounding creatures that appear to have no rational or scientific explanation. The film is about the mysterious sightings of an unidentified beast in Whitehall in August 1976. A number of eyewitnesses, including members of law enforcement agencies, saw a strange, huge, hairy, man-like creature in the Adirondack region, in the northeastern part of upstate New York. Discounted tickets to the Creature Weekend Conference will only be available online until May 29. |

For those of you who are coming to the 2016 Creature Weekend Conference this June and would like to take advantage of the wonderful campgrounds that the area offers, you are in luck! The good folks from the Ohio Bigfoot Co-Op have organized a group camp out at Salt Fork State Park the weekend of the Creature Weekend Conference. The group camping area is located on Parker Road off of Highway 22, just several miles from Deerassic Park. Although It is a primitive camping site (meaning only an outhouse is provided nearby for bathroom facilities), you will be able to use Salt Fork's Campground showers and porcelain bathroom facilities which are just a short drive away. For pricing and details, contact the Ohio Bigfoot Co-Op. Mark Hudak at [email protected] or 330.730.7112. |
