The inspiration for the film The Dark Divide starring David Cross
and Debra Messing, one of America's most esteemed natural history
writers takes to the hills in search of Bigfoot-and finds the
wildness within ourselves. Awarded a Guggenheim Fellowship to
investigate the legends of Sasquatch, Yale-trained ecologist Dr.
Robert Pyle treks into the unprotected wilderness of the Dark
Divide near Mount St. Helens, where he discovers both a giant
fossil footprint and recent tracks. On the trail of what he thought
was legend, he searches out Indians who tell him of an outcast
tribe, the Seeahtiks, who had not fully evolved into humans. A
handful of open-minded biologists and anthropologists counter the
tabloids Pyle studies, while rogue Forest Service employees and
loggers swear of a vast conspiracy to deep-six true stories of
unknown, upright hominoid apes among us. He attends Sasquatch Daze,
where he meets scientists, hunters, and others who have devoted
their lives to the search, only to realize that "these guys don't
want to find Bigfoot they want to be Bigfoot!" Since its original
publication, the author's fresh experiences and finds have been
added to his original work through an updated chapter. With an
evaluation of recent DNA evidence from Bigfoot hair and scat, the
study of speech phonemes in the "Sierra Sounds" purported Bigfoot
recordings, an examination of the impact of the wildly popular
Animal Planet series Bigfoot Hunters, the reemergence of the famous
Bob Gimlin into the Bigfoot community, and more, Walking With
Bigfoot keeps every Bigfoot enthusiast's mind wide open to one of
the biggest questions in the land and brings Pyle's work on the
"legend" of Bigfoot into the new century.

Wales is said to be the most haunted country in the world. Restless
spirits roam the ancient land, from the lofty peaks of Snowdonia to
the dark depths of the abandoned mines. In Paranormal Wales author
Mark Rees takes the reader on a spine-chilling journey to dozens of
these locations, which include well-known tourist landmarks and
more secluded spots well off the beaten track. These accounts of
disembodied voices, supernatural mists and pesky poltergeists range
from centuries-old legends to modern-day sightings. Visit the
'oldest pub' in Wales, where more than 180 people are claimed to
have been sentenced to death by hanging. Explore the majestic opera
house built by a world-famous soprano, who some say continues to
perform on her beloved stage from beyond the grave. Spend the night
in a seemingly idyllic manor house, where the presence of a
Victorian housekeeper is said to reduce unsuspecting guests to
tears. Or step back in time at one of the many ivy-strewn castles,
where ladies in white patrol the Gothic battlements as tortured
screams ring out from the dungeons below. Some of these stories
might be familiar, others less so, but they all have one thing in
common - they will make you think twice about turning off the light
at night. Illustrated throughout, Paranormal Wales will be of
spine-tingling interest to those wanting to discover more about the
country's haunted and hidden heritage.
