The Phenomenal Sasquatch: Seeking the Natural Origins of a Cultural Icon

by Matt Pruitt

The Phenomenal Sasquatch is a comprehensive exploration of one of the most intriguing mysteries of modern times. Is the sasquatch an undiscovered animal or a product of the imagination?

Author Matt Pruitt takes a multidisciplinary approach to this question, drawing on insights from biology, psychology, anthropology, and other fields. Examining the fossil record, indigenous knowledge, historical records, eyewitness accounts, and physical evidence, Pruitt takes the reader on a journey into the heart of the sasquatch phenomenon. He explores the possibility that sasquatches are simply large, rare primates, and delves into the psychological factors that may be at play during people’s encounters with these creatures. Alternatively, he considers the hypothesis that the sasquatch is merely a construct of the human mind that exists only in stories and art. In this thought-provoking work, Pruitt presents a balanced and rigorous analysis, providing readers with an in-depth look into the search for the natural origins of this cultural icon.

Whether you are a skeptic or a believer, The Phenomenal Sasquatch will challenge your assumptions and deepen your understanding of this enduring mystery.

My rating is strictly based on the content, writing, and research presented… not if I am convinced or not 😉. I was very impressed with the extent of the information presented and also the sophistication of writing. Pruitt’s research and content is quite substantial in this book. This was such a multidisciplinary approach to the Sasquatch and I felt like Matt Pruitt touched on everything. With the culmination of information, he makes some interesting points that really make you think. One way or another, I’ll be thinking twice about the sounds I hear out in the woods at night around my house.

I tend to be very optimistic on the prospect of a biological bigfoot that is more than likely descended from some other great apes, so this book was right up my alley. Pruitt very carefully constructs his arguments and gives a very fair shake to numerous perspectives, his ability to go after the over zealous on both sides of the argument is refreshing, consuming a lot of sasquatch content involves listening to a lot of folks state things so affirmatively, so to see a balance look that focuses on the evidence society has at hand was a welcome change. I was also surprised at a lot of introspection he offered towards the end of the book. Overall I have to say this is the Sasquatch book I have been waiting for and I enthusiastically recommend it to anyone with even a passing interest in the subject.

A super thorough and in depth look into the Sasquatch phenomenon. From the science behind what the Sasquatch might be to “is this just all made up and a psychological phenomenon?”. Matt covers all the bases and goes in depth but at an obtainable level. This book is smart, I really learned a lot in general but more so about the psychology and culture behind the Sasquatch. Matt you did it! This really is the best way (in my opinion) to understanding the Sasquatch.

Well-researched, logical, intelligently written, and thought provoking

Very, very nicely done analysis of both the biological and psychological perspectives on Sasquatch. The author has “done his homework” and it shows. I particularly appreciate his unwillingness to “dumb things down” for his audience. People curious about Sasquatch are intelligent and knowledgeable on their topic of interest. His respect for this comes through on every page.

This could be the Definitive Bigfoot Book .It's an honest and scientific look at the search for the sasquatch.He does get a bit scientific at times , but in no way is it for scientists.This is clearly NOT a book full of testimonies, there are more than enough. It is an analysis and a criticism of the established scientific world and media.Highly recommended.

It was a well-written and researched book. My qualm was that it presented one theory as a fact and pretty much dismissed any other theory as being nonsense.

That is all we have with Sasquatch: theories. To flatly refuse other ideas and claim yours is the only way came out very closed-minded to me.

That being said, the arguments were well laid out and presented well.

Matt Pruitt does a great job in presenting the case for Sasquatch. One of the most comprehensive books on the topic and he doesn't "dumb it down." A lot of good information that answer many of the questions that individuals ask "why don't we have..." regarding the Sasquatch.
