These are some good picks, that I would have been interested in back then, the first two are fictional and silly, but the last one is actually early america lumberjack folklore and is pretty interesting.

Harry Potter's Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them

Flanimals by Ricky Gervais

Fearsome Creatures Of The Lumberwoods: With A Few Desert And Mountain Beasts

A bit dated, but still one of my favorite books: Cryptozoology A to Z by Loren Coleman and Jerome Clark


https://www.amazon.com/dp/0684856026/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_tai_L3SLDbJSM7F84

Nothing too in depth about any one cryptid, but a nice overview of so many you have heard of, and even more that you may not have. Great for being inspired about where to journey next or which cryptid you'd like to investigate further.

It's for ages 8 and up. Seems to have favorable reviews and mentions mothman as well. I hope this helps, books are great!

The Monstrumologist series by Rick Yancey is another good fiction series.

For non fiction it's not quiet crypto but it is ghosts: Ghost Hunter- Hans Holzer. It's a collection of sorts about early paranormal investigation.

Another series I like that's fiction is The Newsflesh series by Mira Grant. It's zombies (I know, over done) but a really cool universe of post apocalypse society.

Disclaimer: I'm 100% biased, but I think 'Legends of the Nahanni Valley' is pretty great.

u/Captain_Crustacean · 7 pointsr/Cryptozoology

I genuinely enjoyed Sasquatch: Legend Meets Science by Jeff Meldrum. He takes a fairly unbiased look at some of the most convincing sasquatch evidence, and comes up with a conclusion on whether or not the creature exists. I'm normally not that interested in the Bigfoot phenomenon, but this book had me hooked all the way through.

u/doctorphyco · 3 pointsr/Cryptozoology

This book about Sasquatch has been highly recommended, but I haven't read it yet. http://www.amazon.com/Sasquatch-Legend-Science-Jeff-Meldrum/dp/0765312174

u/SmokeyMcPotUK · 4 pointsr/Cryptozoology

Explain all the newspaper clippings which end with the smithsonian coming to collect the bones,

Read this if you are interested in the topic, there's another book which is entirely filled with newspaper clippings but I didn't save the name when I was told about it and have since forgotten

This is a very interesting story and I have a serious case of the willies now.

For what it's worth, I'm going to give my thoughts about this. It may not make any sense to you, but I hope it at least gives you something to think about.

The fact that your mom had a dream the same night about the same creature is very interesting to me. It suggests a link between your psyche and your mom's.

It is a scientific fact that traumatic events are encoded in our DNA and handed down through generations (see the book "It Didn't Start With You by Mark Wolynn. Trauma can be so horrifying that it confuses our sense of reality. And when not sufficiently processed and released, it can be passed down through generations. Inexplicable feelings of terror and unreality can spring on people out of nowhere because of trauma incurred generations ago. Lacking a way to understand or process them, the mind can manufacture an image or symbol. Such as a reality-bending monster.

I don't know if I've explained myself sufficiently but I just wanted to point you in a possibly stabilizing direction.

u/DarkWendigo · 0 pointsr/Cryptozoology

Heres all the different names associated with the wendigo from its vast oral history.

Wiindigoo, Wendigo, Weendigo, Windego, Wiindgoo, Windgo, Weendigo, Wiindigoo, Windago, Windiga, Wendego, Windagoo, Widjigo, Wiijigoo, Wijigo, Weejigo, Wìdjigò, Wintigo, Wentigo, Wehndigo, Wentiko, Windgoe, Windgo, Wintsigo. Windigoag is a plural form (also spelled Windegoag, Wiindigooag, or Windikouk.)

There is at least a hundred different version from the same story. Some say its a physical creature, some say its supernatural.


Heres a book you can purchase if you so desire -

Here is another book of a personal account -

Excerpt from the book above -

“The Wendigo was gaunt to the point of emaciation, its desiccated skin pulled tightly over its bones. With its bones pushing out over its skin, its complexion the ash gray of death, and its eyes pushed back deep into the sockets, the Wendigo looked like a gaunt skeleton recently disinterred from the grave. What lips it had were tattered and bloody… Unclean and suffering from suppurations of the flesh, the Wendigo gave off a strange and eerie odor of decay and decomposition, of death and corruption.”


Heres a link to a hunting party that encountered a physical Wendigo in 1907 -

Feel free to use the canadian archives for further analysis. Heres the link -

Lastly, wendigo psychosis is a modern term used to describe people like swift runner or the modern equivalent, Vince li.


Heres your sources for those two individuals so you know there real -

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Killing_of_Tim_McLean

http://www.edmontonjournal.com/news/hanged/swiftrunner.html


The early idea for the term came from this source, but was attached to the supernatural oral history.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Jesuit_Relations


But since a portion of the oral history states the Wendigo as being a supernatural creature, then the other oral accounts must all be wrong. My bad.

Im not trying to argue its real, all I’m stating is there is more than a few oral histories available for the Wendigo legend and some viewed it differently. But since sources are important here, I’ve attached as much as I could remember outside of the canadian archives since I’m not digging that hard over a tard fight.
