Every culture on earth has its tales of the paranormal. While many contain stories of ghosts and supernatural events, the existence of paranormal creatures is an idea which has spread to almost every culture. With such a vast array of differences in the world of flora and fauna, the myriad of potentially mystical creatures created by our ancestors has passed down to us. Now, we find ourselves familiar with everything from werewolves to the Tasmanian tiger. Some of these animals are flights of fancy; others are real species which have been driven to extinction. But all over the world, you will find people who are certain that they continue to exist.

In this book, we will be traveling the world and search for the truth behind some of the planets strangest, deadliest, and most fascinating paranormal creatures. In fact, there is a whole branch of science dedicated to the pursuit. It is named cryptozoology. The goal of cryptozoology is to peel back the curtain and discover the truth about the myths, legends, stories, and even hoaxes that exist around the world. For anyone intrigued by the natural world and the human psyche, these creatures provide a captivating history of human culture and how it differs across the planet.

From the Loch Ness Monster to the giant anaconda, there have always been rumors of something strange and deadly lurking beneath the surface of our knowledge of the natural world. Could it be possible that we have missed some of the world’s strangest creatures despite them existing right in front of us? Are all of the stories simply myths and elaborate hoaxes? Is there a grain of truth to even the most outlandish stories? Read on to discover the reality behind some of the planets strangest paranormal creatures.

Very entertaining book! Myth or reality? Some of the creatures described in the book seem to be a hoax, others... I'm not so sure. Certainly piques one's imagination! The reader is left feeling the real possibility of the existence of some very strange animals!

This book was available for free on Kindle when I found it, so the very least I can do for the author is leave a review. I am happy to say I enjoyed this book, and it introduced me to a couple of cryptids which were totally new to me!

I had never heard of the Beast of Bodmoor. Exmoor, yes, but not Bodmoor. I had also never heard of Flying Rods. I had heard a tiny bit about the Bunyip and the Wendigo, but the Beast of Gevaudan was a complete surprise. I was so happy to learn more about the world's legendary creatures. To be honest, before this book I knew more about the World of Darkness Bunyip and Wendigo then the legends that gave the game developers the names.

Bauer only spends a few pages per cryptid, but he gives extensive citations for further followup. His tone is skeptical, and he is unafraid to admit where there is scanty evidence or a known history of hoaxes. He's also unafraid to let his complete disbelief show, as in the Flying Rods chapter. While he is diplomatic, he seems to give more weight to the debunkers than the promoters of this photographic phenomenon.

I look forward to reading other books by Bauer, and giving my thoughts on them as well. Four of five stars.

1.0 out of 5 stars Disappointing. . .
Reviewed in the United States on January 20, 2016

I have studied the paranormal and the occult nearly my whole life and in this time there are very many things in this avenue that I have learned, in fact many have changed my life completely and the way I look at the world. So, you can understand my frustration as I'm reading this and the author is carelessly throwing all caution to the wind and disregarding everything I have learned through so many years of meticulous study and that has me convinced whoever this person is (or whoever he thinks he is) he has not done the research to back up any of his outlandish claims: for instance that there is more evidence to support the yeti than bigfoot, that there is no evidence to support the growing idea of the Reptilians despite the heaping world of proof in every ancient civilization across the world that all our ancestors worshipped snakes, the Nagas, the "Gods". On top of being entirely too disappointed by the lack of real effort or support in his theories I find the book to be too short and could be far more in depth considering all the hundreds, perhaps thousands, of credible witness accounts of these phenomena. This book was written by an amateur and I would never recommend it to anyone. In fact, I whole-heartedly regret wasting the very little amount of money I spent on it in the first place.

Mr. Bauer is a serious writer and treats the theme with the due respect, I'm still reading the book but it just confirms what I've seen from his other works! As a fan of cryptoozology, I must say this is a relish to be duly enjoyed without any hurry but rather savoring the many flavors it reveals along the way.

4.0 out of 5 stars Not bad for an introduction (but you might already know most of this)
Reviewed in Germany on April 19, 2019

I love cryptozoology and the idea that unknown creatures lurk somewhere waiting to be discovered -- but at the same time, I have scientific training, enjoy rigorous reasoning and don't think "believing" should be an issue when it comes to explaining hitherto unexplained phenomena.
Over several years now, I have collected quite a library of kindle ebooks on cryptozoology and other "fringe science" topics whenever I found them available for free or on sale, and the titles by Conrad Bauer are clearly among the best in the prize range. Different to other authors, his style reads better than a middle school essay (or worse, the completely ungrammatical stumblings one occasionally stumples across).
Having said that, there are also books that are a lot better, deliver better research, dig a lot deeper, have better writing and enjoyed rigorous proof-reading -- but then these books will also be a lot pricier.
If you are just developing your new-found interest in Nessie, Bigfoot and other such creatures/concepts, by all means, start here. Bauer's book is reasonably well researched, will save you a trip or two to the library, and gives a solid overview over a range of "cryptids" which also includes a few very fringey creatures that you might not find discussed everywhere (e.g. the wendigo). There even is a thread of skepticism, occasionally offering alternative explanations to some sightings.
However, if you consider yourself a weird mysteries buff (or have read three or more books on the subject, really), then chances are, you might not discover much new here.
