American Monsters: A History of Monster Lore, Legends, and Sightings in America

From pre-Columbian legends to modern-day eyewitness accounts, this comprehensive guide covers the history, sightings and lore surrounding the most mysterious monsters in Americaâ€”including Bigfoot, the Jersey Devil, and more.

Bigfoot, the chupacabra, and thunderbirds arenâ€™t just figments of our overactive imaginationsâ€”according to thousands of eyewitnesses, they exist, in every corner of the United States. Throughout Americaâ€™s history, shocked onlookers have seen unbelievable creatures of every stripeâ€”from sea serpents to apelike beings, giant bats to monkeymenâ€”in every region.

Author, investigator, and creature expert Linda S. Godfrey brings the same fearless reporting she lent to Real Wolfmen to this essential guide, using historical record, present-day news reports, and eyewitness interviews to examine this hidden menagerie of Americaâ€™s homegrown beasts.
