Bigfoot in Maine
ByPublisher Description
“A well-researched history of curious Sasquatch encounters . . . Souliere makes an enthusiastic and engaging argument for the existence of Bigfoot.” —Kirkus Reviews
The dark woods of Maine have been the setting for many eerie and unexplained events, none more captivating than sightings of a giant hominid known as Bigfoot. But what makes this corner of New England such a perfect place for this cryptid to live? Learn about the ecology and geography that support the legend and meet the people forever changed by close encounters with it. From previously unpublished eyewitness accounts to modern-day media portrayals, author and illustrator Michelle Souliere presents this detailed history of the phenomenon and folklore that has lurked in shadows for generations.
“Detailed, intriguing . . . As one reads the testimonials in Bigfoot in Maine, which date from the 1960s to the present, even a non-believer will start to question their assumptions.” —Mainer
“The case Bigfoot in Maine makes is compelling, extensively researched, and delicately handled.” —Livermore Falls Advertiser
“Includes first-person accounts from those who say they have seen the cryptid in Maine.” —The Portland Press Herald

“I had the great opportunity to read BIGFOOT IN MAINE by my friend @msouliere while actually visiting Maine. It made the reading experience all the more vivid after being able to wander some areas that are similar to those in the book. Michelle is a natural-born storyteller, so being able to read her histories and interviews with people who have seen Bigfoot, and then being able to explore areas that are like those described in her book, I could really understand how something like Bigfoot could remain so well hidden in the forests and wilds of Maine. If cryptids are your thing, then this book is definitely for you! You can order a copy directly from her shop, @greenhandbooks in Portland ME.”
