Ron Morehead (Friday Night Speaking Appearance Only)
Challenged by skeptics, but time-tested by science, Ron Morehead’s account of the legendary bigfoot brings an exciting report of unsurpassed vocal interaction between humans and modern day giants. He has produced two CDs and a book, which have actual vocalizations of bigfoot and their attempt to interact with man.
Science has established that these unusual sounds were spontaneous and made at the time of the recordings. And, a complex language has recently been discovered. Ron believes they are sentient and, like humans, have cognizance. His story provides the reader with a unique insight into the nature of these giants.

Doug Waller
Working for the Guernsey County Library for over 20 years has given Doug Waller plenty of opportunities to access
and read well over one hundred books on the subject of Bigfoot. Doug became interested in the creatures during the early 70's when the Missouri Monster or "Momo" was covered in newspapers across the country. Doug and a co-worker began to research in January of 2006 and they concentrate their efforts in and around Salt Fork State Park, Guernsey and Coshocton counties.

SOSBI is a very active group made up of Bigfoot researchers, investigators, witnesses and others who are just interested in the hairy giant. They have been featured in newspaper articles and TV news stories. Several speaking engagements are scheduled for this year and Mr. Waller will be releasing his first book as well.
