5.0 out of 5 stars Bigfoot in Maryland? Maybe!, April 8, 2009

Bigfoot isn't just for the Pacific Northwest anymore. This book chronicles bigfoot sightings in Maryland, some going back to the 19th Century. As a resident of the Free State, I found it fascinating. Some of the tales are wild and woolly -- and I remain skeptical on balance -- but I acknowledge that the author has done a great job pulling together info on sightings from all over the state.

Opsasnick clearly has affection for this topic and knows his way around the subject. The book is well written and engaging. If you are interested in bigfoot or Maryland folklore, this is the tome for you.
