Eric Altman’s Pennsylvania Bigfoot Society will hold its conference today, on Saturday, September 27, 2008 from noon to 8:00 pm, in the banquet hall located above Pitzers’ Townhouse Restaurant, Jeannette, Pennsylvania. Speakers scheduled are Diane Stocking, Bob Chance, Billy Willard, Tom L, Joe Biello, and Eric Altman.

The conference for Bigfoot enthusiasts in Pennsylvania includes a tour of at least four spots in the area where the man-like beast has supposedly been sighted.

While Bigfoot, or Sasquatch, is commonly associated with the Pacific Northwest, about 250 reports have come in from Pennsylvania in the past 10 years.

Eric Altman of the Pennsylvania Bigfoot Society has organized this weekend’s gathering in Jeannette, a town about 20 miles east of Pittsburgh. He expects between 300 and 500 people, the Pittsburgh Tribune Review reported.
