If you've ever heard an inexplicable bump in the night, caught a glimpse of a strange-looking someone (or something) out of the corner of your eye or seen an unusual craft dart across the sky before it vanishes without a trace, there's only one person to call. Linda S. Godfrey - author of numerous books that offer rare reporting on bigfoots, werewolves and strange energy forms - explores the mystical, legendary and scientific angles of these creatures. and the surprising secret portals and doorways they may use to enter our world.
"Godfrey frequently draws from myth and folklore and cites cases from history and pop culture, demonstrating extensive knowledge of her subject matter. The book will prove a handy encyclopedia for enthusiastic cryptozoologists of all ages." Publishers Weekly
"[Godfrey]'s most satisfying book to date...Monsters Among Usisway morethan a collection of camp-fire tales of bloodthirsty werewolves,rampaging Dogmen, and mystifying activity.It keeps the reader captivated and skilfully plunges them deep into the heart of the mystery.By heading down a winding path marked Paranormal Phenomena and Fringe Science, Linda has made the most significant steps in this area since John Keel got the UFO- and monster-hunting communities coming out in rashes by daring to suggest the things they sought- and much more were part and parcel of the same thing."--Nick Redfern, author of Women In Black and Bloodline of the Gods
She has the ability to send chills up and down your spine.
