Twelve-year-old Pamela Manchester is an autistic savant whose reputation for amazing feats of memory and perception is quickly spreading. Large crowds flock to her live performances. YouTube and Facebook fame are gaining momentum. Back home in rural Minnesota, however, the girl has different priorities altogether. If not for her ambitious father, managing her "career," she would be happy just repeating her forest routines, learning esoteric facts about nature, and playing Minecraft on her tablet. The more he tries to control her, the more she fights back. This battle of wills seems hopeless until a family of Sasquatch gradually makes its presence known, changing everything-for better and for worse. Christopher Noël is the author of six books about our closest living relatives, including SASQUATCH AND AUTISM: TWELVE PARALLELS and NEXT OF KIN NEXT DOOR: HOW TO FIND SASQUATCH A STONE'S THROW AWAY. Noël recently released a documentary, "How to See a Sasquatch," covering his sixteen years of field research in northern Vermont.

***If you own IMPOSSIBLE VISITS or SASQUATCH RISING 2013, please don't buy this book. The material in OUR LIFE WITH BIGFOOT is contained in those earlier books but is being offered now in this streamlined, very affordable edition so that more readers may learn about habituation sites.*** ________________________________________________________________________________ The uncanny humanness of Sasquatch has emerged at "habituation sites" throughout North America. These are places with which members of this primate species have become familiar, returning regularly, often for years or generations. In the peaceful, inquisitive spirit of Jane Goodall and Dian Fossey, certain people have interacted with these visitors, seeking to learn their nature and behavior, to gradually reduce their ancient fear of us...and ours of them. OUR LIFE WITH BIGFOOT takes the reader behind the scenes to experience interactions at six such sites in Iowa, New York State, North Carolina, Oklahoma, and Texas, revealing the subtle intelligence of our partners in this strange inter-species dance.

Dr. Melba Ketchum's DNA study has found that Sasquatch arose long ago through crossbreeding between female Homo sapiens and males of another primate species, now extinct. Though the latter remains unidentified, it was almost certainly a fellow member of our Homo family tree. The uncanny humanness of Sasquatch has never been in doubt at "habituation sites," places with which they have become familiar, returning regularly to homes and properties, often for years on end. Throughout North America, certain people have interacted with these curious, wily visitors and-in the humane, inquisitive spirit of Jane Goodall-sought to foster (so to speak) an ongoing family reunion. Meanwhile, hunters are active in our forests, each hoping to become wealthy and famous by "harvesting" a specimen and hauling that first giant corpse before the public. This event will certainly change the world but will also mark a low point in the history of human ego. While feeding our hunger for material proof, it will leave us at a loss for deeper understanding. Therefore, ahead of that dark day, we must welcome an immediate flowering of vivid accounts showing all that peacefully occurs between our two species. I hope that the detailed testimonials presented in this and other books will help to establish legal protection by assembling a rich, highly textured infrastructure of knowledge and compassion-the best barrier standing between Sasquatch and its would-be trophy hunters. SASQUATCH RISING 2013 is the only available source to not only delve into the scientific revolution unfolding before us today but also to fill in the rest of the story, conducting readers behind the scenes at multiple habituation sites-in Iowa, New York State, North Carolina, Oklahoma, Texas, and Vermont-to reveal the subtle, surprising ways of our ancient living kin.

We need a radically new approach to Sasquatch research. For much too long, we have stereotyped our next of kin, certain that they must confine themselves only to the most remote wilderness, occasionally sneaking up to campsites just long enough to scare the hell out of us before withdrawing once again to the far corners of the forest. Incorrect. Increasingly, evidence is pointing a different way, toward an intimate proximity between our two species. Until we can demystify Sasquatch, know them as a fellow human species, and begin to get a handle on their fascinating behavior and intellectual gifts, they will remain abstract "monsters" seen through the wrong end of a telescope.What if they are not, after all, too far away for us to see-what if they are too close?
