Customer Reviews

Great read!

I had no idea there had been so many UFO sightings, nor so many different varieties of creatures, manimals, etc. This is an intriquing account of the many mysteries and possibilities. The only fault I found with the book is the author's obvious fear that he could be branded a 'nut' if he shared any of the opinions or beliefs he wrote about. He makes it known several times that 'he is simply listing actualy reports'. Other than this small stumbling amongst the pages, the book is very well organized, researched and the writing is engaging. Chrissy K. McVay author of 'Souls of the North Wind'

A cryptozoological classic!

This dated paperback is one of the finest texts on cryptozoology I've ever had the pleasure to read -- sadly, most of the dozen or so books on the subject are drivel that may as well have been regurgitated from the tabloids. Not so with this one. A number of "mystery creatures" are discussed at length and in detail. Sasquatch-type creatures make up about a third of the content, and the remainder covers such difficult to classify oddities as "Mothman" (and similar winged entities), the "Jersey Devil", and "Phantom Cats & Dogs" (which includes seance manifestations as well as the myriad types of black panther-type entities encountered throughout North America. Loren Coleman co-wrote this gem with Jerome Clark -- I've read several books by both individual authors, and this is probably the best of them all. There is an abundance of useful information to be found "between the lines" -- make the connections yourself. Check this one out!
