Encountering Bigfoot: Eyewitness Accounts

Nine eyewitness accounts of suspected bigfoot encounters, from across the United States, eight of which occurred within the past seventeen years.  These occurrences took place in Pennsylvania, Washington state, Alaska, New Jersey, Texas, Oregon, Ohio, and California. One sighting was by a postal work delivering mail, another by a snowmobiler, another by a man fishing his favorite fishing spot along a river, another by an experienced deer hunter, and yet another by a family hiking.

The book leaves the topic open ended, saying this is what these people think happened. “What do you think the men saw?” (7) “Or could it have been something else?” (9) “But could he have been mistaken about what he saw on that dark night?” (11)  And there is a disclaimer on page 3 saying, “Stories in this book are taken from eyewitness accounts and cannot be proven true or false.” The majority of the accounts were told to the Bigfoot Field Research Organization (BFRO) who found them to be credible.

The graphic novel presentation of this topic will appeal to readers. Especially since there are so few actual photos of bigfoot and most encounters seem to be short and visual.
