This book is a legend in itself. 1000s of people came forward with their input. Over 70 detailed & credible (never before told) eyewitness reports. 14 exclusive interviews by the top researchers & scientists, answering your most requested questions. This is no 'ordinary' book on the Bigfoot issue, far from it. Linda Coil-Suchy has reached out to over 8,000 people and obtained many first-hand eyewitness reports on bigfoot sightings/incidents together with questions about the creature that people in general would like to see addressed. She has presented the best (most detailed, and most credible) reports verbatim. Most have not been published before in any media. She obtained answers to the questions in the form of interviews with the major scientists and high-profile researchers currently involved in the Bigfoot arena. This is the first time an extensive cross-section of interviews of this nature has been published under one cover. Linda's highly innovative approach to the subject is augmented with historical Bigfoot accounts (the 'Classics') and other accounts on record. A special color section showing photographs of some of the best evidence collected to date is also featured. For travelers, an illustrated guide to Bigfoot attractions in the West is a welcome addition. The depth and scope of Linda's research makes this work a valuable resource for those interested in Bigfoot studies, and a fascinating adventure for those with a flair for the unexplained, indeed, our vast forests will take on a whole new meaning.

5.0 out of 5 stars The best Bigfoot book I've read so far.
Reviewed in the United States on December 13, 2011

I have been into Bigfoot for over 40 years now, even having my own encounter at the age of 21 (once you've had an encounter your hooked). I have quite a collection of bigfoot books, 1 plaster cast and videos and I must say that I really enjoyed this book, I will be keeping it for my collection of Bigfoot books. I only wish I could have gotten a signed copy. I didn't get bored reading the book and I could see that Linda put a lot of effort and time into writing it. I enjoyed her stories about her Grandmother's encounters, her Grandmother sounds like she was a cool kind lady.

For those of you that love reading Bigfoot encounters, this is a good read. I read it at night and wound up not being able to put it down. My favorite section (besides her grandma's section) was the different bigfoot encounters told by many different people in many different areas.

Linda included a section on her interviews with the different bigfoot researchers since I've heard of them all and it was nice to learn a little more of each of them. I personally hope that bigfoot is never really truly "found" as they deserve to be left alone.

I recommend this book highly, a good read. Try reading it late at night!

This book is nothing more than a collection of reported sightings from people who claim to have seen a Bigfoot/Sasquatch. Each reported sighting is nearly identical and generally go like "we were hiking/camping/driving and heard/saw something and it was probably a Bigfoot/Sasquatch" - that's it. Many of the sightings/stories which have led to present day conspiracy theories (such as the Mount St. Helens incident) were made by anonymous people without any evidence to back any of it up.

In addition to this collection of stories/sightings are a handful of interviews with "researchers" and you've likely already heard everything they have to say by now. There are also a few photographs of hand prints, foot prints, "Patty", and some drawings which, again, you've probably already seen since so much of this material is repeated and regurgitated over and over again within the Bigfoot/Sasquatch community.

Is this a bad book? Not necessarily. Is it the author's fault that many of these stories/sightings are repetitive? No since she just reports what people said. However, unless you simply want to read 400 pages of reported sightings which sound nearly identical to each other, there is very little to be gained from reading this book (especially given the relatively high price for it) in my opinion.

5.0 out of 5 stars Bigfoot anecdotes
Reviewed in the United States on December 22, 2009
This sasquatch book is a rather large collection of stories, anecdotes, and reports of sightings and encounters with purported sasqautch/bigfoot creatures. The author starts out recounting her grandmother's repeating encounters over the years before settling into a lengthy presentation of a wide variety of sightings and reports from the Pacific Northwest. The classics are covered however there are a pile of fresh stories also. Some I may not have included as they really started having that 'hippy-all-is-peaceful-and-a-miracle' feel to them but that's up to the reader. I found a couple of the stories hard to accept and may not have included them either (a few overlap the hippy feeling stories). All-in-all though, a pretty good selection of stories covering a lengthy time period.

The author then moves on to a section about higher profile people/investigators of the bigfoot phenomenon. There's a general format of questions she asks and there are certainly distinct personalites from the subjects. These range from those actually trying to do research or honest reporting like Meldrum, Green, Steenburg, Rosa, Fahrenbach, and Fries. Then there are those looking to cash in on it and self-promote like Ray Crowe and Tom Biscardi (my opinion only) that lack any real conviction other than the noteriety that may come with finding one of these creatures. Oh and then there's Robert Morgan who claims to be a viable researcher but is little more than a self promoter and arrogant nutjob (again my opinion only). This section almost makes me want to detract a point in rating because the author seems to be quite supportive of these three men in particular but that is her choice and I certainly can't say she would be wrong about it, afterall, who am I to say who is right or wrong.

Next is another section of generalized sightings, I guess separated from the rest because maybe the author didn't interview them directly. Following is a simplified "need to know" guide regarding what to look for while out in the woods, some sasquatch history, and Native artifacts. Rounding out the book is a kind of sightseer guide to locations with tourist attractions for bigfoot ranging from Willow Creek's Bigfoot Days and other places you can find bigfoot carvings and the like. I am a little befuddled that there is no mention of the Happy Camp region which is just 90 miles north of Willow Creek and contains a giant bigfoot sculpture, a bigfoot statue outside the post office, and holds it's Bigfoot Jamboree the same weekend as Willow Creek's Bigfoot Days. Happy Camp was also the locale Java Bob's bigfoot cafe (maybe the bad Biscardi agreement causes a lack of mentioning).

Anyway, as a bigfoot book, you should have it in your collection as you are presented with a vast amount of fresh stories you may have never heard of before.

Reviewed in the United States on June 27, 2013
This was such a good book. Full of information and easy to read. I learned several things I did not know and I would recommend this book to anyone interested in the bigfoot experience. The sightings were so interesting. And varied. The author has conversations with prominent people in the bigfoot field. She did her research. I am sorry the book is finished. I would love to kerp reading! Buy it!

5.0 out of 5 stars Truly terrific book.
Reviewed in the United States on July 10, 2009
This book basically gives an interesting perspective on the Bigfoot/Sasquatch phenomenon because the author's Gram had experiences with what she called King Kong or The Beast, back before the name Bigfoot came along. Gram grew large vegetables which were raided by something, possibly a Bigfoot (she had several sightings). She used to also make cakes made of pumpkin and zucchini for the creature, which it would accept. There are also many historical and cultural aspects discussed in the book, including the classics, as well as sighting reports given to Linda. There are several interviews with notables in the field, including Jeff Meldrum, Thomas Steenburg, Bob Gimlin, John Green, Henner Fahrenbach, Dmitri Bayanov, Robert W. Morgan and others. I give this book, which is really great, a 4 3/4 out of 5 stars. Get this book!!!
