5.0 out of 5 stars Top Notch Researchers !, May 9, 2004
By William Ray (St. Louis, MO) - See all my reviews
Beyond Cryptozoology, past the paranormal, you name it these authors cover it. A fine collection of everything you have wondered about and many things you may have never known about. I don't want to give too much away, but this is much more than a fact filled book full of cold boring dates, the authors insight reveals and stimulates thought. An exciting and unique collection of the unexplained not found in any other book!
(Also recommended is Jerry D. Coleman's "Strange Highways" also found here at Amazon.com)

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent, January 23, 2006
This book provided me with many hours and hours of fun. It has an extensive list of strange events and weird creatures that have been seen (and allegedly seen.) It isn't filled with nonsense talk like "One day the world may come to an end if we don't turn to our space brothers who enjoy probing our butts."

It is a historical record of events (which may or may not have happened) and neatly categorized. It is definitely worth buying if you can afford it.

This listing of a wide variety of weird phenomenon with an index of places is very helpful for the field occultist. If you are interested in odd happenings that may have happened in YOUR HOME TOWN, you may find something in here that interests you!
