THEY ARE BELIEVED BY MANY TO BE THE AGENTS OF THE "DARK GODS!" - THEIR MASSIVE WINGS, WHEN SPREAD FANLIKE, ARE KNOWN TO CAST A PARALYZING SHADOW OVER THE LAND! THEY EXIST ALONGSIDE US IN THE "REAL WORLD," YET WE KNOW NEXT TO NOTHING ABOUT THEM! THEY APPEAR TO INHABIT PHYSICAL BODIES, BUT THEY COULD BE ARRIVING FROM OTHER DIMENSIONS OR THE MULTI UNIVERSE THROUGH "WINDOW" AREAS OR PORTALS! They are the winged wonders from the Twilight World of Cryptid creatures. O - Living Pterosaurs have been seen from Guantanamo AF Base in Cuba to the jungles of Papa New Guinea where the locals call them the "Ropa." O - They are the Flying Felines of the Egyptian dynasties to the Greek Heroes living in underground caverns on Mount Olympus. O - Here is the Mothman Creature, initially seen around the hamlet of Point Pleasant, West Virginia, and associated with the collapse there of the Silver Bridge - but now recently observed by dozens of credible witnesses in downtown Chicago. Some researchers say Mothman is a harbinger of death. O - The Jersey Devil is said to be a demon who flies near the Pine Barrens mainly in the dead of night, while the Thunderbirds are massive creatures with wingspans of more than 30 feet. O - Dragons are thought of as beings rooted firmly in mythology and the stuff of movies such as "The Hobbit" and popular cable TV shows such as "Game of Thrones." Yet sightings of these aerial demons known to spit fire have been seen worldwide and are part of every culture - past and present - from Europe to the United States, and every continent in between. O -- Even more eerie are the flying and floating "alien" humanoids and witchy "brohaus" observed widely in Mexico and South America. Here are dozens of the creepy-crawly narrations - backed up by the strangest of photographed evidence - of bizarre and unknown flying cryptids who frolic in our sky as if they have not a care in the world. Theories abound as to their origin(s) and nature and their overall grip on our perceived reality, as explored in this dramatic work by such respected researchers as Sean Casteel, Brad Steiger, Paul Eno, Allen Greenfield, Lon Strickler, Tim Swartz, Scott Corrales, Hercules Invictus, Jonathon David Whitcomb, Albert Rosales, Paul Dale Roberts, Steve Ward, Nomar Slevik, with the added editorial flare of "Exploring the Bizarre" co-host Tim Beckley. Are they demons straight from hell or from an unknown shadow world? Ultra-terrestrials who have strayed into "our territory" from another time and space continuum? Or simply prehistoric monsters thought to have died out millions of years ago, but who still exist living just beyond our reach, ready to be rediscovered by science? Whatever they are, they are truly BIZARRE!

"Our world is more than we can see, more than what we have discovered and more than what we can imagine." - A cryptid investigator. This casebook will present a wide variety of winged cryptid eyewitness reports that I have personally received and directly researched over the past three decades. I also update the investigations conducted by Phantoms & Monsters Fortean Research that pertain to the Chicago area winged humanoid phenomena and other unexplained winged entities. In Autumn 1988, I was asked to investigate a series of loud screams at a Boy Scout camp in south central Pennsylvania. The reports of troops suddenly fleeing the camp were becoming a concern. The red-eyed winged humanoid, that myself and two other witnesses encountered that weekend, suddenly changed my perspective on the unexplained. I wanted answers and the truth. Over 30 years of research and investigations are offered in this book for your own conclusions.

Cryptids & Other Creepy Creatures is a collection of forty of the most fantastic, unusual, creepy and exciting modern and urban myths, from giant, rarely sighted monsters in the world's wildernesses, such as the Yeti and the feline Beast of Bodmin Moor, to supernatural occurrences and spooky happenings such as crop circles and the Bermuda Triangle. Myths and monsters are drawn from all around the world, with strange creatures and frightening tales from modern African, Asian and European mythology and cryptozoology. Illustrated throughout with outstanding new full-colour annotated artworks and factfile boxes!

Explore the fascinating world of cryptozoology with this fun guide, filled with eyewitness accounts of 50 cryptids found throughout the world, some of which have been proven real. Cryptozoology is the study of mysterious creatures that fall between the realm of real and imaginary on the scientific spectrum. Cryptid Creatures: A Field Guide offers a closer look at fifty of these amazing creatures, examining the best possible evidence for each, including scientific papers, magazine and newspaper articles, and credible eyewitness accounts. The fifty cryptids are arranged in order alphabetically, and in addition to speculative illustrations, include details like when they were first reported, whether they are terrestrial, aerial, or aquatic, and each have a reality rating of 1 to 6, in which 1 means that the cryptid has been confirmed as a hoax, and 6 means the cryptid has been proven as real. This page-turning guide will inspire curious readers to investigate more on their own, and maybe even help to prove if a cryptid is a hoax or is real.

“Old school horror.” —Jonathan Maberry THE LEGEND LIVES Everyone knows the legend of the Jersey Devil. Some believe it is an abomination of nature, a hybrid winged beast from hell that stalks the Pine Barrens of southern New Jersey searching for prey. Others believe it is a hoax, a campfire story designed to scare children. But one man knows the truth... THE DEVIL AWAKES Sixty years ago, Boompa Willet came face to face with the Devil—and lived to tell the tale. Now, the creature’s stomping grounds are alive once again with strange sightings, disappearances, and worse. After all these years, Boompa must return to the Barrens, not to prove the legend is real but to wipe it off the face of the earth... THE BEAST MUST DIE It’ll take more than just courage to defeat the Devil. It will take four generations of the Willet clan, a lifetime of survivalist training, and all the firepower they can carry. But timing is critical. A summer music festival has attracted crowds of teenagers. The woods are filled with tender young prey. But this time, the Devil is not alone. The evil has grown into an unholy horde of mutant monstrosities. And hell has come home to New Jersey... “Shea delivers a tense and intriguing work of escalating tension splattered with a clever, extensive cast of bystanders turned victims...An otherwise excellent, tightly delivered plot...Fans of cryptid creatures are likely to revel in this love letter to a legendary menace.”– Publishers Weekly Raves for The Montauk Monster “A lot of splattery fun.”—Publishers Weekly “Frightening, gripping.”—Night Owl Reviews
