This book was written by a true believer. Dog-men, Sasquatches, UFOs, portals to other dimensions, strange glowing balls of energy, and more are discussed almost as if they are given facts. There is speculation on their origins, but never any doubt about their actual existence. If you're a believer in these kind of phenomena, then you'll find this reassuring in your opinions. If you're a skeptic, like myself, you'll be asked to take a lot on face value with little room for doubt.

I first heard about this book when the guys at Astonishing Legends podcast interviewed Mrs. Godfrey. Since then it has been on my list to check out. I have always been into strange things, so I was intrigued by what Linda Godfrey had to say.
She is a veteran reporter who started researching strange and mysterious sightings when she worked for a local paper. She isn’t quick to jump to conclusions and, as you’ll see in this book, she runs through many possibilities as to what the sightings may infer.
Perhaps it is my love of mystery and strong desire for there to be wonder in our vast world, but I am not quick to discount all mysterious creature sightings as desperate cries for attention, hoaxes, or recreationally altered states of consciousness. People that I know and trust have had their own experiences. The Bible has numerous accounts of supernatural occurrences. And I am a healthy skeptic of the limits of scientific method to explain everything that we experience in our world. This book just gave me more food for thought.

3.5 stars but I'm rounding up to 4 because I enjoy it. I like hearing about people's experiences with these beings...its interesting...but theres nothing here that backs any of it up and while some people seem really credible...others dont...and that makes it harder to "buy" the whole thing. But it was entertaining enough.
