Book Description
From the “wonderfully quirky imagination” of the New York Times–bestselling author: A tabloid reporter is surprised to find magic in a mundane world (The New York Times). Vera Pearl is a staff writer for This Week, a supermarket tabloid which trades in the bizarre and the absurd—though rarely, if ever, the true. No one is better than Vera at imagining these weird, wild stories, because more than anything, she wants them to be real. During one particularly slow week, Vera takes a photograph snapped by a colleague showing two children selling lemonade outside their Brooklyn home and drafts up a scoop to fit the snap, the story of two enterprising children who have discovered—and are profiting off of—the literal Fountain of Youth. By astonishing coincidence—or perhaps by magic—the details she concocts about the children (except for the properties of the tap water) turn out to be true, and hundreds of miracle-seekers descend upon this modern Lourdes-in-Flatbush. The resulting lawsuit sends this master of hoaxes into a very real tailspin: she is fired, her estranged husband flies in from Los Angeles to whisk away their precocious young daughter, and Vera takes off for Arizona to attend a meeting of the Cryptobiological Society, hoping for evidence of their furry quarry, Bigfoot. Just one glance, and Vera’s longing to finally transcend the quotidian may come true . . .

Bigfoot
Author: Paul Glover
Publisher: Grosvenor House Publishing
ISBN: 180381487X
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 236
Book Description
The mystery of Bigfoot has endured for generations, folklore has touched on this through the centuries and yet we have not come any closer to recognising this phenomenon as a reality. How can this be when countless numbers of people have witnessed these incredible beings? Even in the United Kingdom there have been many reports, including modern day encounters. Are all these witnesses mad or is there some truth behind this myth? The Green Man adorns many Medieval Churches and Cathedrals dotted around the British countryside.... but what do they all mean? This whole mystery has stretched through hundreds of years, and across different continents, so isn't it about time that we can get some answers? A 10 year journey has culminated in some explosive revelations that will throw some light upon this enduring mystery. For example: what has William Shakespeare got to do with Bigfoot? And did Charles Dickens even carry on with this storyline? And one of the most iconic fictional characters celebrated around the world will come under the spotlight and their true origins will be revealed. But is this a fictional character or one based upon a folklore reality? And does that historical reality live on into the modern world? Thought provoking statements will be made that will get you thinking about the things that you accepted since childhood. Will Christmas ever feel the same again after reading this book? Is Bigfoot just a Fairy Tale or is there a magical world out there that we are only just starting to explore? Fairy Tale or a Tale that has links to historical references to Fairies? You be the judge, but as they say, seeing is believing and that is exactly what this book will offer some the chance of doing. Your own journey into the Bigfoot World starts right here....

The Bigfoot Book
Author: Nick Redfern
Publisher: Visible Ink Press
ISBN: 1578595789
Category : Body, Mind & Spirit
Languages : en
Pages : 576
Book Description
The definitive guide to Bigfoot, Sasquatch, Yeti, and other man-primates from an established author and respected expert on the unexplained and paranormal. 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!

My Cosmic Trigger
Author: Matt Vaughn
Publisher: TrineDay
ISBN: 1634244532
Category : Body, Mind & Spirit
Languages : en
Pages : 551
Book Description
High strangeness denotes happenings so uncanny they are deemed "utterly absurd." It involves the intersection of multiple paranormal phenomena, revealing an eerie undergirding of reality. MY COSMIC TRIGGER is a deep dive into the subject, covering its history, theories, and notable researchers, analyzing mechanisms behind this cosmic enigma. The author's personal experiences provide a penetrating understanding of the phenomenon by demonstrating how and why extramundane weirdness manifests on a personal level, helping people navigate their own 'synchromystic initiation' with a sense of clarity, fostering a constructive relationship with odd occurrences (not a destabilizing one), and enabling readers to successfully pull their own cosmic trigger.

Bigfoot
Author: Joshua Blu Buhs
Publisher: University of Chicago Press
ISBN: 0226502155
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 297
Book Description
Last August, two men in rural Georgia announced that they had killed Bigfoot. The claim drew instant, feverish attention, leading to more than 1,000 news stories worldwide—despite the fact that nearly everyone knew it was a hoax. Though Bigfoot may not exist, there’s no denying Bigfoot mania. With Bigfoot, Joshua Blu Buhs traces the wild and wooly story of America’s favorite homegrown monster. He begins with nineteenth-century accounts of wildmen roaming the forests of America, treks to the Himalayas to reckon with the Abominable Snowman, then takes us to northern California in 1958, when reports of a hairy hominid loping through remote woodlands marked Bigfoot’s emergence as a modern marvel. Buhs delves deeply into the trove of lore and misinformation that has sprung up around Bigfoot in the ensuing half century. We meet charlatans, pseudo-scientists, and dedicated hunters of the beast—and with Buhs as our guide, the focus is always less on evaluating their claims than on understanding why Bigfoot has inspired all this drama and devotion in the first place. What does our fascination with this monster say about our modern relationship to wilderness, individuality, class, consumerism, and the media? Writing with a scientist’s skepticism but an enthusiast’s deep engagement, Buhs invests the story of Bigfoot with the detail and power of a novel, offering the definitive take on this elusive beast.
