4.0 out of 5 stars
A Fun Read,
By
This review is from: The M-Files: True Reports of Minnesota's Unexplained Phenomena (Tales of the Supernatural) (Paperback)
This is a short book about creepy things/legends in Minnesota: UFO's, ghosts, strange lights, monsters, etc. The treatment is lighthearted, as is appropriate to such an offbeat topic. The chapter headings are illustrated with drawings which help to lend interest. There are a dearth of books about such things in Minnesota, and so this book is particularly fascinating to a Fortean aficionado living in the Land of 10,000 Lakes.
If you read this book by day, you may smirk. If you read it by night, you may get the willies and find yourself glancing out the window...
5.0 out of 5 stars
Close to home...,

This review is from: The M-Files: True Reports of Minnesota's Unexplained Phenomena (Tales of the Supernatural) (Paperback)
I think this was a great read. I found a sighting that my father was involved with, and also found that the sighting was corroborated by a third whitness just over the county line. It's interesting to see that, as I have the original local newspaper article about the sighting, and at least 2 of the 3 whitnesses were police officers at the time of the sighting.
4.0 out of 5 stars

This review is from: The M-Files: True Reports of Minnesota's Unexplained Phenomena (Tales of the Supernatural) (Paperback)
This book is a great winter time read on those long cold nights when one doesn't want to go out. Full of strange encounters with UFOs, Bigfoot and the like, it does pass the time nicely.There are some incidents in here I have never heard of before in the cases of a few UFO encounters which is always good for those searching for information on such things. The book gives a good flavor of Minnesota which I have visited many times and plan to return. As others have stated, it is a lighthearted book but it does have plenty of heart as it does not make fun of the subjects or the people who were unfortunate to have the encounters. The local stories add that touch of authenticity which makes these stories and encounters a welcome change of pase Recommended for those interested in both paranormal and local folklore.
