For just $10 a pop, Bigfoot enthusiasts convened in Vilonia, Arkansas, on Saturday for a day-long conference dedicated to the mysterious apelike beast.

The Arkansas Bigfoot Conference was held from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. at the Arkansas Municipal Building. It featured a host of speakers, witnesses and reports. Spectators also learned about the existence of Sasquatch hunters, known as "squatchers," while viewing exhibits and Bigfoot relics.

J. Robert Swain, the founder of the Arkansas Primate Evidence Society, helped organized the event. He told the Northwest Arkansas Democrat Gazette that he would love to capture footage of the mythical creature just to confirm that his belief is real.

"For me, just knowing that it's real would be enough. To prove it to myself; not to make a million dollars, although that would be nice. I just want to know," he said.

According to squatchers, there are only four counties in Arkansas that have yet to report a Bigfoot sighting.

"I like to think that there's mysteries in this world, especially here in Arkansas that we don't know," Swain told THV 11.

"There's audio recordings that we have collected ourselves that don't match anything else that's out there," Swain added.

The 125 conference attendees were also allowed to inspect footprint moldings, view the panels and hear from experts like Big Jim Whitehead of the Mid-America Bigfoot Research Center, an organization devoted to Bigfoot research based in Oklahoma. He discussed DNA lines, hominids and the sounds that Bigfoot reportedly makes.

For Whitehead, proving the existence of Bigfoot to non-believers will come in a matter of time.

"It's going to be a case of when because, like I said, personally I've seen these things," he said. "I know they are out there. But the evidence is a lot more solid than people think. When you put all the pieces together, it's a lot harder to dismiss."
