A Long-Awaited Opus!, March 22, 2010
This review is from: Really Mysterious Pennsylvania: UFOs, Bigfoot & Other Weird Encounters Casebook One (Paperback)
Really Mysterious Pennsylvania-UFOs, Bigfoot and Other Weird Encounters-Casebook One
By Stan Gordon
ISBN 978-0-9666108-2-6
(c) 2010
"Remember, you only an hour away from one of the most prominent researchers in Pennsylvania" - those were the words that a friend told me when I moved to Pittsburgh so many years ago. The name "Stan Gordon" was a constant in the UFO press of the 1970s and the research of his UFO/paranormal groups was covered everything from saucer sightings to some of the most spellbinding accounts of encounters with Bigfoot and other beings. All this, including the legendary "Kecksburg Crash" of 1965, made the great state of Pennsylvania a treasure-trove of forbidden lore.
Decades later, I would have of being among the first to set eyes on Really Mysterious Pennsylvania - the book that everyone had expected Stan to write for so long, unlocking the contents of his paranormal archives. And it does not disappoint!
In recent years, research into the "far out and far away" has taken a decidedly Western leaning, with researchers concentrated in the Southwest and California, hovering around Roswell. This new book is a reminder that we have mysteries - and then some - on this end of the lower 48.
In the 18th century, when William Penn became the owner of the kingdom-sized estate known as Pennsylvania, little did he realize that he had acquired a land of extraordinary paranormal activity, ranging from winged monsters in its forests, hairy bipeds in its lofty ridges, to unexplained lights in the sky. Really Mysterious Pennsylvania takes the reader through ten chapters devoted to UFO sightings of all descriptions - lights in the sky, cases involving ground traces and high-strangeness events, even truly dangerous encounters with the unknown. Act II of the book, so to speak, concerns the "Eastern Bigfoot" and its interaction with bewildered humans: of particular interest here is "Chapter 14 - Government Intervention" which describes the active role that the FBI has taken in some cases. The book's final section is a delight to the seekers of high-strangeness cases, involving Thunderbirds, mysterious ice falls, and "The Mysterious Fowl Eater"
The best feature of Really Mysterious Pennsylvania is that it promises to be the first in a series of books on our state's wonders and enigmas - and what better tour guide than Stan Gordon?

Awesome Book!, June 14, 2010
This review is from: Really Mysterious Pennsylvania: UFOs, Bigfoot & Other Weird Encounters Casebook One (Paperback)
This is one of those books that you simply cannot put down once you start reading....finished it in one evening and was hungry for for. Fortunately for us Stan Gordon's other book "Silent Invasion" is due to be released soon. When it comes to odd happenings in Pennsylvania Stan Gordon is THE AUTHORITY on such matters and has been actively researching and investigating these claims most of his life. This book hit me just right....highly recommended.

A must have for Paranormal enthusiasts, May 11, 2010
This review is from: Really Mysterious Pennsylvania: UFOs, Bigfoot & Other Weird Encounters Casebook One (Paperback)
Growing up in Pennsylvania and reading about these reports in the newspaper, and hearing of these reports directly from Stan this book brings back memories. It is a fascinating tale of the strange and mccabe going on in Pennsylvania. With Stans 51 years of experience and these reports, this book is one you have to have. Once I picked it up, I could not put it down. At an early age, Stan became a mentor for me and I've followed his work for 30 years and this book is a great summary of some of the reports over the decades that Stan has recieved and investigated. If you want to learn about what is really going on in Pennsylvania, buy this book! You wont be dissapointed!
