The Bigfoot Book | Free Book
Does a hulking, hairy, 800-pound, nine-foot-tall, elusive primate
roam the woods and forests throughout North America—and the world?
What should we make of the grainy videos and photos and the
thousands of eyewitness reports? Audio-recordings exist purporting
to be the creatures’ eerie chatter and bone-chilling screaming.
Whether called Sasquatch, Yeti, Bigfoot, or something else, bipedal
primates appear in folklore, legends, and eyewitness accounts in
every state of the union and many places around the world. The
fascination with the man-beast is stronger than ever in today’s pop
culture.
Exploring the history, movies, and literature,
the conspiracy theorizing, and the world of the
supernatural, The Bigfoot Book: The Encyclopedia of Sasquatch, Yeti, and
Cryptid Primates is a comprehensive resource to the man-beast. With
nearly 200 entries and 120 photographs,
drawings, and illustrations, it is the definitive guide to
understanding, hunting, and avoiding the brute, as well as
discovering the facts behind the sightings and horrifying tales. It
covers 400 years of folklore, mythology, history, and pop culture,
including Native American lore, the “wild men” reports in the pages
of 19th century-era American newspapers, Florida's Myakka Skunk Ape,
Australia's Yowie, China's Yeren, Himalayas’ Yeti, Russian
expeditions, Harry and the Hendersons, Exists and the countless movies
titled Bigfoot, as well as specials on the television
shows Animal Planet, Discovery Channel and National Geographic Channel, scientific reports and findings, and much, much more.
Various
documentaries and reality television shows have all superficially
tackled the subject, but Nick Redfern presents a truly complete and
comprehensive look at cryptid primates. It is a richly researched
reference, overflowing with fascinating information to make readers
think—and reconsider their next camping trip!
