Forgotten Bigfoots Around the World - Malcolm Smith - Bog

Everyone has heard about the bigfoot, or sasquatch, of North America, but it is less well known that mysterious bipedal apes of a similar nature have been reported throughout the world. The author of this book has therefore chosen to introduce the English speaking readers to reports published in obscure, little known journals, especially those originally written in French and Spanish. You will read of the detailed investigations of a French zoologist in a remote corner of Pakistan, which effectively proves the existence of the "abominable snowman", and who was murdered attempting to follow up his research. You will read, also, of the Soviet investigations into similar "wild men" in the Caucasus. The second half of the book then ventures down strange pathways: to the possibility of a late survival of such creatures in Europe, of hair raising encounters with huge apes throughout Latin America, and finally to various encounters in the heartland of Africa. This book will prove essential reading to all those who wish to gain a fuller understanding of the phenomenon.
