Bigfoot

True-Life Encounters with Legendary Ape-Men

De: Rupert Matthews

Narrado por: Nick Landrum

Bigfoot, Sasquatch, Yowie, Yeti...the idea that monstrous man-apes lurk in the remote forests and high mountain valleys of the world is an enduring and popular one. Hardly a week goes by without some report of a fresh encounter.

In 1793 the Boston Gazette reported a sighting of what the Cherokee call a "chickly cuddly" or "hairy man thing". In 1818 the Watchman recorded the visit of a "Wild Man of the Woods". Ever since, hundreds of eyewitness accounts of a giant, elusive beast that stands upright on its hind legs have come flooding in.

One creature was seen trying to catch a calf in a farmer's field; a group of them used rocks to pound the walls of a remote cabin. More recently, four teenagers in rural America were startled when a huge hairy creature landed on the roof of their car.

Bigfoot takes a fresh look at the man-apes reported to exist in North America, South America, Australia, the Himalayas and Central Asia. It examines historic sightings as well as up-to-date ones - and poses the crucial question: are they really out there?

Interesting, well narated

One of the better perspectives on cryptic animals. There were a few geographical errors, notably Faulk.

good listen

great stories, well thought out and prepared. I would listen to more of these in the future

Good book

Enjoyed the read and would pass it forward to the next cry to reader. Enjoy!!!

Enough with the measurement conversions

As I did enjoy the stories, I did not enjoy the measurement conversions with every single story. It really took away from the book and became quite annoying. You may want to consider a redo less the conversions, use either one or the other to improve the review ratings.

Exploring the evidence for Sasquatch

In "Bigfoot," Matthews examines the years of collected documentation for the proof of Sasquatch. Are there animals hidden from science, or simply denied by the scientific community? The author puts photographic evidence under a microscope, and questions audio and video clips, and footprints. Even though Matthews sets out to support the Sasquatch existence theory, he does point out obvious hoaxes. Matthews lists the many eye-witness reports of "big foot" and groups of unknown ape-like creatures. Does sasquatch exist? Listen to this audiobook before deciding.
