Introducing The Host: GOT KNOCKERS?
Got Knockers is the creative force behind the Central Pa Bigfoot & Cryptid Festival.
Got knockers
founded in 2022
Got Knockers is an intriguing brand with its roots firmly planted in the mysterious world of Bigfoot investigations. It all began in 2021 during an expedition in the Allegheny National Forest when a fellow investigator crafted some impressive wooden knockers from branches. This playful ingenuity sparked the creation of a humorous T-shirt, which soon evolved into the well-known Got Knockers brand. Founded by Gwendolyn Purcell, Got Knockers has grown beyond its whimsical origins to become a significant entity that not only offers unique merchandise but also educates young enthusiasts about Bigfoot and other cryptids. The brand actively hosts research investigations across the globe, fostering curiosity and scientific inquiry in the realm of cryptozoology.
