The Bigfoot Book: The Encyclopedia of Sasquatch, Yeti and Cryptid Primates



Nick Redfern is a prolific writer in the paranormal/supernatural/crypto/UFO genres and he has done an excellent job in a book called The Bigfoot Book: The Encyclopedia of Sasquatch, Yeti and Cryptid Primates. One of his more recent books, published about seven months ago, it covers the Big Guy in an encyclopedic reference. It not only documents Bigfoot, Sasquatch, etc., but many other primate-like cryptids and strange homonids. Below is the description for The Bigfoot Book: The Encyclopedia of Sasquatch, Yeti and Cryptid Primates:

"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 encyclopedic look at cryptid primates. It is a richly researched reference, overflowing with fascinating information to make readers think—and reconsider their next camping trip."

Is Sasquatch a "Missing Link"?

Image
Over the years, many people have speculated about Sasquatch as some kind of missing link in the evolutionary history of human beings. Certainly at first glance this may seem quite plausible considering what most of us were taught in school growing up. However, over the past ten or twenty years there have been many archaeological discoveries, both quite legitimate and quite controversial in their mainstream context. We have learned that Homo sapiens lived alongside numerous other hominid species - even having cross-bred with those such as Neanderthal peoples. The appearance date of what we know as the modern day human is continually being pushed back further and further. And with this, we are not merely talking decades or even centuries. It is now believed in many academic circles that Homo sapiens first appeared more than 300,000 years ago. Take a moment to let that sink in. It's difficult for us to imagine the passing of even 100 years, even as we tend to measure such th...

Something In The Woods

Image
While I have not yet been able to watch this movie, Something In The Woods looks to be a Bigfoot movie worth checking out. At first I was slightly disappointed that it was a PG rating expecting it was going to be a horror movie, but then I came to my senses and realized that this is inspired by a true event in the 60's and that most real world Sasquatch encounters aren't R-rated. They might be scary or frightening but usually nobody gets mauled and skewered on a pine tree. So I reevaluated my stance in approaching this movie and now it seems to me that it may portray a highly realistic characterization of a Bigfoot encounter. With that in mind, here's the synopsis provided on SITW website: "An independent feature film  inspired  by true events. The story follows the Hartman family and their dealings with a legendary creature when it begins coming around their farm house deep in the woods in the late 1960s." According to the IMDb, the inspiration for th...
