Poltergeists are the most physical and tangible phenomena in the
field of paranormal research. "Poltergeist" is German for a noisy
ghost, an entity that can throw objects, toss furniture around the
room, and even attack people. Some poltergeists have demonstrated
incendiary abilities and caused fires. In certain instances,
poltergeists have developed voices that give evidence of a clever,
mischievous intelligence behind the phenomenon. For thousands of
years, poltergeist victims, exorcists, clerics, and psychical
researchers have debated whether the frightening, violent
disturbances are caused by ghosts, demons, elementals, or some
burst of psychokinetic energy released by the human mind in an
expression of frustration, hostility, repression, or corrupted
creativity. In 1965, Brad Steiger's newspaper column on the
paranormal attracted the attention of Ivan T. Sanderson, noted
zoologist, Fortean, and explorer of the strange and unknown.
Sanderson encouraged Steiger to write a book dealing exclusively
with poltergeist cases, and with Sanderson as his mentor, Steiger
agreed to enter the eerie reality that is the domain of the most
bizarre phenom- enon in all of psychical research. Released
originally in 1966 - but now with a Foreword by Loren Coleman and
an Afterword by Brad Steiger - "Strange Guests" has the distinction
of being the first of Steiger's now more than 160 books that dealt
exclusively with the paranormal.
This is a new release of the original 1962 edition.
The Story Of Subhumans On Five Continents From The Early Ice Age
Until Today.

Ivan T. Sanderson, who captured the most famous film footage of Big
Foot in Northern California, a graduate of Cambridge University and
world famous zoologist, naturalist and writer, presents evidence
for not one, but possibly four separate kinds of unidentified
hominids that walk the earth, on every continent except the
AntArtic and Australia. From the foothills of the Himalayas, to the
steppes of Russia and the Klamath mountains of Northern California,
thousands have witnessed these incredible and elusive creatures.
With more than 30 years of evidence and dozens of maps and
photgraphs, Sanderson presents the case for the existence of the
Abomidible Smowman, and the reasons why this elusive creature has
avoided capture
Scottish zoologist IVAN TERRANCE SANDERSON (1911-1973) coined the
word cryptozoology and first used it in print in this hard-to-find
1961 work, the story of "hairy hominids" across the planet from the
very beginnings of human civilization until the mid 20th century.
With its scientific, anthropological approach, this is one of the
first books to treat the phenomenon of "Bigfoot" seriously, and
introduced a groundbreaking classification system for the spectrum
of subhumanoids. "I am happy that a whole new generation of
cryptozoologists-in-training will be able to read Ivan T.
Sanderson's classic book," says cryptozoologist Loren Coleman in
his new introduction. "This book opened the minds of many to the
vastness of the hominoid reports... and spotlighted for people that
Bigfoot/Sasquatch research was the next area for exploration in
North America." This new edition, complete with the original
illustrations and maps, is part of Cosimo's Loren Coleman Presents
series. LOREN COLEMAN is author of numerous books of cryptozoology,
including Bigfoot!: The True Story of Apes in America and Mothman
and Other Curious Encounters.

Just below the surface, I then made out a shape. It was thick in
the middle and tapered towards the extremities. It was a sort of
blackish-grey in colour. To demonstrate that it was no trick of
light-defraction, it moved steadily from one side of the leat to
the other and then back again. When a chance puff of wind touched
the surface it disappeared in a maze of ripples but when the water
stilled it was always there. Its size judging from the width of the
leat was between 40 and 45 feet long. No details were visible nor
did any portion of it again break surface. It was simply an
elongated shape of large size moving purposefully to and fro at the
edge of deep water. F. W. Holiday, The Great Orm of Loch Ness"
