Witnessing Bigfoot: Flesh and Blood, Native American Legend, or the Devil Himself?

Glen Boulier

Glen Boulier’s many personal encounters with Bigfoot led him to investigate the phenomenon. He spent years researching the stories, the legends, the speculations. He questioned individuals about their own particular experiences and interviewed researchers, Native Americans, hunters and trackers, and forestry workers. He examined the written accounts and listened to opinions from many sides of the debate. He studied Bigfoot from as many angles as he could, trying to understand exactly what he and so many others have seen with their own eyes. Is it a spirit? Is it a flesh and blood animal? Is it the devil?
This book is the record of Glen’s own quest. He presents his vast collection of information objectively, and then submits his own conclusion for consideration. Now it’s your turn to read the accounts and decide for yourself: What exactly is Bigfoot?

How to Cook a Bigfoot

Ray Crowe

Who doesn’t have a hankerin’ for a little Bigfoot on a Spit or some Braised Skookum Paws?

Join Ray Crowe, one of the top 100 Bigfoot researchers in the world, with his book full of Bigfoot lore about 17 versions of Bigfoot from all over world (plus dozens of local names and variations). Every location comes complete with scrumptious recipes from around the world – 60 in all. And each recipe matches the local cuisine of the region being described. (Substitutions for Bigfoot meat are offered, of course, because Bigfoot meat just isn’t always available.) You’ll read about:

1. Bountiful Bigfoot
2. Scrumptious Skookum

4. Sumptuous Sasquatch
5. Tasty Kushtaka

8. Glorious Gigantopithecus
9. Yummy Yeti
10. Outrageous Orang Pendek
11. Amazing Alma
12. Crunchy Chuchunaa

14. Marvelous Mapinguary
15. We Love Woduwasa Whatever Its Real Name Is

He also pokes a little fun at hunters who think they can capture a Bigfoot. The cartoon saga of the Special Hunt Investigation Team on a trek to bag a Bigfoot of their own is truer than many Bigfoot “researchers” are willing to admit. The elusive hide-and-seek champion of the world never fails to give them the slip. The book also features artwork from past issues of the world-renowned publication, The Track Record.

Ray Crowe is the founder of the Western Bigfoot Society and editor of the newsletter, The Track Record. Mr. Crowe is the type of man that would invite anyone and everyone to share his passion about Bigfoot. His name is mentioned as the man who introduced many prominent researchers to Bigfooting. Before social media like Facebook groups and blogs, even before you could Google “Bigfoot,” Ray Crowe’s Newsletter, The Track Record, was social media the community of Bigfooters used to share information. He is listed as one of the top 100 Bigfoot researchers in the world. Since the early 1970s, Ray has been called upon as an expert by network news, television shows, organizations, and newspapers from all over the globe. He has been a featured speaker, guest lecturer, and authored innumerable articles on Bigfoot lore and legends. He’s even been on camera with Stephen Colbert.

Bigfoot in New Jersey

William Matts

Since the 1894 report that a “Wildman” with a club was seen traveling through Morris County, strange creatures resembling Bigfoot have been reported in New Jersey. The Pine Barrens, 1.1 million acres covering parts of seven different counties and 22% of the entire state, has been a rich source for glimpses of the legend. Many other parts of the state have been visited by Bigfoot as well. In this book WR Matts documents 68 of these recorded sightings from all across the Garden State.

In addition, he provides three comprehensive reports about his own research in High Point State Park and Wharton State Forest. Matts explains his personal methodology, the success of which led him to encounter one eight-foot creature at the Godfrey Bridge Campground in the Pine Barrens.

Other chapters of the book discuss how studies of Bigfoot are evolving with the realization that these intelligent creatures can avoid current research methods such as camera traps and call blasting. Recent reports of long-term habituation experiences seem to point in the direction of using Bigfoot’s natural curiosity as a more effective way to make contact.

Visits from the Forest People

Julie Scott

Julie Scott and the rest of the Scott family report on their experiences in Western Washington while sharing the forest surrounding their home with a group of Bigfoot, which Scott calls Forest People. The reports include several sightings and other evidence, interactions between the Scott family and the Forest People, and, amusingly, Bigfoot’s uncanny ability to avoid being photographed despite the extensive efforts of a team of Bigfoot researchers.
Julie includes her thoughts about the origins of Bigfoot, explanations for some of the difficulties in collecting evidence of Bigfoot, thoughts about the current state of Bigfoot research, and suggestions for establishing more effective communication between Bigfoot and humans.

Julie is a member of Oregon Bigfoot and the United Bigfoot Research Group. She is a co-host on a weekly Blogtalk Radio show discussing Bigfoot, the paranormal, and cryptozoology, and has been a guest on several other shows as well. Julie volunteers her time as a contact person for local law enforcement, fish and game, and forest service departments by providing education about Bigfoot sightings in her area.
