Cryptid U.S.: Tales of Bigfoot, Lake Monsters, and More from Across America
On October 20, 1967, Roger Patterson and Bob Gimlin encountered a large, man-like creature in Bluff Creek, California. Point Pleasant, WV, was terrorized by a flying monster in 1966. Sandra Mansi saw a "monster" rise out of Lake Champlain in 1977. A strange creature called the "chupacabras" attacked many helpless farm animals in Florida, Arizona, and Texas in 1996.
These are just a few examples of sightings of strange monsters, called cryptids, seen in the United States. Reports of these creatures, which range from Bigfoot, to lake monsters, black panthers, Thunderbirds, werewolves, and even an occasional live pterosaur, come from every state.

Great Cryptid Primer Book
This was an enjoyable book about the wide variety of cryptids supposedly found in the US. Grouped into categories, creatures like Bigfoot, dogmen, sea monsters, lizard men and more can be found in these pages, along with photos and drawings to enhance the encounters mentioned within. The author has done some extensive research and included a few I hadn't heard of, along with many encounters, some well known. A great primer for newbies and entertaining enough for cryptid fans, this is a wonderful read and I greatly enjoyed it. Looking forward to the author's next book.
