Bigfoot, the chupacabra, and thunderbirds aren't just figments of our overactive imaginations - according to thousands of eyewitnesses, they exist, in every corner of the United States. Throughout America's history, shocked onlookers have seen unbelievable creatures of every stripe - from sea serpents to apelike beings, giant bats to monkeymen - in every region.

Author, investigator, and creature expert Linda S. Godfrey brings the same fearless reporting she lent to Real Wolfmen to this essential guide, using historical records, present-day news reports, and eyewitness interviews to examine this hidden menagerie of America's homegrown beasts.

This is an excellent guide for the cryptic lover in your life.
It belongs next to the birdwatching books.

How to tell a Bigfoit from a Dogman.

I wasn't very thrilled with the narration. Especially the pronunciation of place names. it's nitpicky, but it bothered me. the Mothman story has been retold enough now, but people should know how to pronounce Gallipolis.

good book, bad narration

It is an interesting topic and does cover more than I thought it would. This is the sort of material to read if you are interested in Cryptoids.

Informative

I learned about a lot of different monsters that I have yet to hear about. She does a good job telling the story while still going over necessary details. It’s a good introduction to various Cryptids.

Must read for those interested in USA crytids

Nothing too in depth but a fun listen. Great collection of stories from all across America.

Great collection of short tales

Entertaining and fun. This is the kind of book I would have loved in highschool, or to listen to while on a camping trip. It's entertaining to hear eye witness accounts of the strange and unique. I recommend it.

A lovely listen, Rachel Dulude, has a perfect voice for audio books. Linda Godfrey has had personal experiences and really done her research on the topics making the book feel very informative.

A well written view on crypto biology from someone who has covered it from a journalist’s perspective.

An interesting read.

My wife & I really enjoyed this book on a weekend road trip recently. Narration is good & the book covers many different types of American Cryprids (many we'd never heard of) by using interviews & recent incidents (post 2010 in many cases) while also providing historical/folklore context when available.

The book does a good job of not drawing too many conclusions & instead presents the evidence & witness testimony in a well written & researched book. Like a cross between George Knapp & Nick Redfern, Linda Godfrey is really good at using her skills as a professional journalist to thoroughly research these stories for the most credible evidence she can find, then connect with the reader & convey her findings in the way of a trusted small town newspaper writer.

i would recommend this book if you're interested in American Crytid Animals, looking for a fun change of pace, &/or if you're trying to find something for multiple people w/ different tastes. I mean really,.. Who doesn't love a good monster story?

Really Informative Book.

What about Rachel Dulude’s performance did you like?

Clear, precise delivery, However, there were several distracting mispronunciations in the first section, which interrupted my absorbing the material.

Good Entetainment, But A Bit Distracting
