Aprašymas

Venture deep into the shadowy forests, remote mountain ranges, and isolated wildernesses of the world in this enthralling collection of true tales of Bigfoot encounters.

Revealing a creature that is as mysterious as it is elusive, Bigfoot Sightings: True Encounters tells of encounters, sightings, and reports across cultures and continents, from Native American legends to modern-day sightings in the Pacific Northwest and beyond. You'll learn about the history and the common threads in the thousands of eyewitness reports--powerful footprints, inexplicable noises, and a primal sense of being watched.

Explore the physical evidence--footprints, hair samples, photos, and videos; the circumstantial evidence--nests and tree structures; the anecdotal evidence--numerous witness stories; and the history and potential explanations for the creature--the giants mentioned in ancient texts, the evolution from Neanderthals, extraterrestrial origins, and shapeshifters; and ancient history, mythology, and folklore. Whether called Bigfoot, Sasquatch, Yeti, or something else, you'll encounter a trove of stories and evidence from across America and the world such as:

Accounts of eerie howls echoing across desolate landscapes

The adventures of Sasquatch hunters René Dahinden, John Green, Grover Krantz, and Peter Byrne

Widely covered newspaper reports of a giant apelike creature invading homes, killing livestock, and even stalking people

The Skunk Ape of Florida and portions of Alabama and Georgia, which is sometimes called a "cousin" of Bigfoot and named for its foul smell

The Ojibway Ragaru that appears in times of danger

Chilling late-night encounters with towering, shadowy figures

Hunters, hikers, and even skeptics recounting moments of awe as they come face-to-face with the legendary beast
