Bought this book from Amazon.com without even seeing the cover, but I knew who John Keel was, so I knew it would be good. It is GREAT. I also used this book for some information on a research paper freshman year.
Where does Keel get all this info? Like, his data on "hairy humanoid" sightings in the US seems contradictory to what I would think - like a high number of such sightings were of long-armed, knuckle-dragging type. I thought HH sightings were pretty much all uprights. This is one of the things that make me wonder where his data comes from.
If you want to explore any and every weird thing that anybody has claimed to have seen, this is a hefty resource.

This one was fun fun fun! A great compilation of thought provoking stories, anecdotes, and episodes. A great introduction to Fortean thought and a wake up call that there's a great deal to go bump in the night!
very strange stuff...I really don't know what to make of it all, but I take it all in with a very big grain of salt.
