Bigfoot | Free Book
Bigfoot, Sasquatch, Yowie, Yeti... the idea that monstrous man-apes
lurk in the remote forests and high mountain valleys of the world is
an enduring and popular one. Hardly a week goes by without some
report of a fresh encounter.
In 1793 the Boston Gazette
reported a sighting of what the Cherokee call a 'chickly cuddly' or
'hairy man thing'. In 1818 the Watchman recorded the visit of a
'Wild Man of the Woods'. Ever since, hundreds of eyewitness accounts
of a giant, elusive beast that stands upright on its hindlegs have
come flooding in.
One creature was seen trying to catch a
calf in a farmer's field; a group of them used rocks to pound the
walls of a remote cabin. More recently, four teenagers in rural
America were startled when a huge hairy creature landed on the roof
of their car.
Complete with remarkable photos and
illustrations, Bigfoot takes a fresh look at the man-apes reported
to exist in North America, South America, Australia, the Himalayas
and Central Asia. It examines historic sightings as well as
up-to-date ones - and poses the crucial question: are they really
out there?
