Some of KEELS best work. Mandatory reading

mandatory reading for all of John Keel fans. I've read all his work and in some cases two or three times such as this book it's even better on Audible.

Glad to have it read to me

Keel was a prolific collector of Forteana, but I fear his scholarship was subservient to his editorial musings and personal theories. A thought provoking collection of research regardless.

poor delivery

terrible narration, old content from the 70s not published in 2014 like audible would have you believe

pretty good.

I liked this book quit a bit, my biggest issue was I did not know that it was written in 1994. the author mostly talks about stuff from the 60s so it is a bit dated, but still has good info and is enjoyable.

Interesting, but it drags

Interesting topic but audio quality is less than stellar and the reader drones a bit as a consequence. I enjoy Keeles writing but this particular book was not my favorite.

Cool Stories...but from years ago

I guess I didn't realize that most of the stories covered in this book are old and happened a long time ago. I was hoping for something more current. I had read/heard about many of them before.

thoroughly researched!

Very informative without sensationalism! This book covers all levels of species and and witnesses brilliantly.

thought provoking

Entertaining and thought provoking certainly a worthwhile read. I hope he releases more books of this nature

Really interesting book

Ok where do I start, really interesting book full of interesting facts or fiction. Well researched and will make you want to read other books, e.g bigfoot etc. John Keel’s book are alway thought provoking. Why not give it a try!

Entertaining!

Enjoyed listening to all the different stories. Really interesting. I can recommend it to anybody who is interested in the weird and the strange...
