KC Cryptid Con in Kansas City on September 12 offers a packed stretch of lectures, vendors, exhibits, field talk, folklore, creature lore, and community for people who never stopped wondering what might be moving just beyond the tree line. KC Cryptid Con casts a wide net across dog man, Bigfoot, Mothman, fairies, and other strange subjects.
The speaker lineup includes Scott Nelson, DA Roberts, and Margie Kay, three names that bring different strengths to a cryptid conference.
Scott Nelson is often associated with serious attention to language and communication questions in the Bigfoot field. For attendees who like the more analytical side of Sasquatch research, his appearance should be a major draw. Bigfoot discussions often center on tracks, sightings, and audio. A speaker who can address possible structure, interpretation, and evidence from a different angle adds depth to the day.
DA Roberts brings the perspective of an author and storyteller with deep roots in creature fiction and cryptid-themed narratives. That kind of speaker helps bridge the gap between folklore, entertainment, and the reports that inspire modern monster culture. Cryptid fans often enjoy both the campfire tale and the investigation file. Roberts fits that space well.
Margie Kay is a familiar name in paranormal and unexplained phenomena circles, and her presence adds a broader investigative thread to the event. Since she is also listed for the Ozark Mountain Bigfoot Conference in October, Missouri attendees have two chances this fall to hear from her in different event settings with two different presentations.
The event plans include: Vendors, Exhibits, A costume contest, Games, DJ, Dancing, A movie " Legend of Boggy Creek" and more.
Vendors offer a chance to pick up books, art, gear, collectibles, and handmade oddities. Exhibits can help ground the strange in objects, displays, and visual context. A costume contest brings out the playful side of the cryptid community, which is part of the fun. This is an outdoor event so bring your lawn chair.
