From pre-Columbian legends to modern-day eyewitness accounts, this comprehensive guide covers the history, sightings and lore surrounding the most mysterious monsters in America--including Bigfoot, the Jersey Devil, and more.
Bigfoot, the chupacabra, and thunderbirds aren't just figments of our overactive imaginations--according to thousands of eyewitnesses, they exist, in every corner of the United States. Throughout America's history, shocked onlookers have seen unbelievable creatures of every stripe--from sea serpents to apelike beings, giant bats to monkeymen--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 America's homegrown beasts.

What's hiding in the woods? Here is the definitive account of today's nationwide sightings of upright, canine creatures - which resemble traditional werewolves - and a thorough exploration of the nature and possible origins of the mysterious beast.
"She has the ability to send chills up and down your spine."--Brad Steiger, author of "Real Ghosts, Restless Spirits, and Haunted Places" "If you thought the likes of "The Wolfman," "The Twilight Saga: Eclipse," and "Underworld" had no basis in fact, it's time to think again " --Nick Redfern, author of "There's Something in the Woods
"Real Wolfmen is a riveting work of amazing scope and depth. You'll be hooked from the first page."--Rosemary Ellen Guiley, author of The Encyclopedia of Vampires and Werewolves"
The U.S. has been invaded - if many dozens of eyewitnesses are to be believed - by upright, canine creatures that look like traditional werewolves and act as if they own our woods, fields, and highways. Sightings from coast to coast dating back to the 1930s compel us to ask exactly what these beasts are, and what they want.
Researcher, author and newspaper reporter Linda S. Godfrey has been tracking the manwolf since the early 1990. In "Real Wolfmen" she presents the only large-scale cataloguing and investigation of reports of modern sightings of anomalous, upright canids. First-person accounts from Godfrey's witnesses - who have encountered these creatures everywhere from outside their car windows to face-to-face on a late night stroll - describe the same human-sized canines: They are able to walk upright and hold food in their paws, interact fearlessly with humans, and suddenly and mysteriously disappear.
Godfrey explores the most compelling cases from the modern history of such sightings, along with the latest reports, and undertakes a thorough exploration of the nature and possible origins of the creature.
