Bigfoot - Is It Real?: True Stories and Curious Patterns in the Anthropology of Belief (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781777253875)

What do eyewitnesses really see when they claim to encounter Bigfoot? And why do so many people across cultures share eerily similar stories of this elusive, ape-like creature?

Cultural anthropologist Sharon Eby dives deep into the strange, fascinating world of Bigfoot sightings, folklore, and belief systems. In this unique blend of ethnographic study and storytelling, she explores what people believe about Sasquatch-and why.

Featuring true eyewitness accounts, contributions from renowned cryptozoologist Loren Coleman, and personal testimony from Bigfoot experiencer Rebecca Wilson, this volume investigates the roots of belief, cross-cultural patterns, and the deeper meanings behind our fascination with this legendary being.

Drawing on interviews, surveys, and social theory, Eby presents an honest, thought-provoking look at Bigfoot through the lens of cultural anthropology. Is Bigfoot a flesh-and-blood creature, a spiritual symbol, or something else entirely?
