La très catastrophique visite du zoo

Joël Dicker

Description

Does a hulking, hairy, mysterious and elusive roam the woods and back country throughout North America--and the world? Venture deep into the shadowy forests, remote mountain ranges, and isolated wildernesses of the world and search for the truth in this enthralling collection of Bigfoot encounters.

Explore the physical evidence--footprints, hair samples, photos, and videos; the circumstantial evidence--nests and tree structures; the anecdotal evidence--numerous witness stories; and the history and potential explanations for the creature--the giants mentioned in ancient texts, the evolution from Neanderthals, extraterrestrial origins, and shapeshifters; and ancient history, mythology, and folklore. Bigfoot Sightings: True Encounters tells of encounters, sightings, and reports across cultures and continents, from Native American legends to modern-day sightings in the Pacific Northwest and beyond. You'll learn about the history and the common threads in the thousands of eyewitness reports--powerful footprints, inexplicable noises, and a primal sense of being watched.

Whether called Bigfoot, Sasquatch, Yeti, or something else, you'll encounter a trove of stories and evidence from across North America and the world such as:

The Skunk Ape of Florida and portions of Alabama and Georgia, which is sometimes called a "cousin" of Bigfoot and named for its foul smell

The Ojibway Ragaru that appears in times of danger

Accounts of eerie howls echoing across desolate landscapes

The adventures of Sasquatch hunters René Dahinden, John Green, Grover Krantz, and Peter Byrne

Widely covered newspaper reports of a giant apelike creature invading homes, killing livestock, and even stalking people

Examples of Yeti "scalps" venerated in village monasteries in Nepal

Chilling late-night encounters with towering, shadowy figures

Stories of shy giant figures lurking in the woods

Hunters, hikers, and even skeptics recounting moments of awe as they come face-to-face with the legendary beast.

Whether you are a seasoned believer or a curious skeptic, Bigfoot Sightings will pull you into the mystery of Bigfoot, leaving you to wonder: What is out there in the wild? And are you prepared to encounter it yourself?
