Our forests seem to be hiding something much more complex than an undiscovered gorilla.
While mainstream Bigfoot investigators would have you believe that people aro Our forests.
Here at last is the book that dear old Bigfoot deserves.- Patrick Harpur, author of Daimonic Reality This book poses a danger to the foundations of cryptozoology.
Indeed, we begin to suspect that the reality of Bigfoot is less a problem to be solved than a mystery to dissolve our view of reality itself.
By documenting both the High Strangeness that surrounds Bigfoot sightings, and the deep Folklore in which they are embedded, Cutchin and Renner so far broaden the context of Bigfoot encounters that it is no longer possible to credit any single theory or literalistic interpretation concerning their nature.
Impressively, even exhaustively researched, Where the Footprints End should give all students of the anomalous serious pause for thought.
In Volume 1 of Where the Footprints End: High Strangeness and the Bigfoot Phenomenon, authors Joshua Cutchin and Timothy Renner carefully examine not only the intersection of hairy apemen with global folklore-of poltergeists, faeries, extraterrestrials, magic, witches, ghosts, and archetypal women-in-white-but also question the fundamental assumptions underlying contemporary cryptozoological beliefs surrounding bigfoot.
Footprints persistently, if rarely, display odd numbered toes, and-most bafflingly-Bigfoot trackways suddenly terminate in the middle of open, untouched terrain.
Anomalous lights are regulalry seen in areas of frequent sasquatch activity.
Bigfoot often present supernatual attributes, like luminescent eyes or the ability to pass, ghostlike, through structures.
Yet despite their apparently physical nature, Bigfoot and its hairy hominid kin consistently appear mired in High Strangeness-the peculiar, ineffable, and nonsensical absurdities so often encountered in paranormal phenomena.
Some sightings seem more consistent with mythology than biology.
By all appearances, these beings seem wholly natural, interacting with their surroundings and leaving behind hair, blood, droppings, and, of course, footprints.
Eyewitnesses, investigators, and cryptozoologists worldwide contend ample evidence exists supporting the survival of large, hairy, apelike creatures alongside mankind today, lurking in the wilderness. if we will only listen.
Bigfoot may be howling from a lonely mountaintop, but the Bigfoot Phenomenon is whispering secrets...
