Reviews"...I can certainly recommend [t]his book to anyone seeking a clear, forward-thinking approach to this ever-intriguing subject. ...Drags Bigfoot into the 21st century - a welcome book." -- Karl Shuker, Fortean Times Issue 200, 2005.

SynopsisBigfoots ARE The Locals. They live here. They were here before we humans showed up on the continent and they will likely outlast us. This is a bigfoot book yet it probes much deeper than a simple treatment of the hackneyed question of Does Bigfoot Exist? This book delves into such questions as why bigfoots exist, why they behave as they do, and why they have not yet been, and may never be dragged into the spotlight of science and the media. And don't look to science for answers, because science is currently unequipped to shed any light on this profound anthropological mystery. The author's personal experiences in investigation and experimentation of the bigfoot hypothesis are chronicled. Frightening and humorous personal experiences are detailed in the manner of the genre we know of as the bigfoot book. We have a lot to learn about The Locals and there is even more we could learn from The Locals.

A MODERN TAKE & FASCINATING BOOK,....add it to your Bigfoot collection !
Like most amateur Bigfoot enthusiasts, I have read dozens of books on the phenomenon, but Thom Powell's THE LOCALS is truly the new standard to which all future books on the subject will be compared. ALSO: Thom Powell's third published book, Edges of Science is absolutely fantastic There are a number of reasons why this is such an excellent Bigfoot/Sasquatch book; however, rather than write endless paragraphs on them, allow me to make my points as a list: Powell doesn't waste his or the reader's time by rehashing (at least in lengthy detail) the "classic" cases--the Albert Ostman story, Ruby Creek, Mt. St. Helens, the Patterson film, etc. Instead, Powell focuses his energies on relating and interpreting more modern (or previously less publicized) accounts. Unlike some Bigfoot researchers who do what Sherlock Holmes described as a "cardinal" error--using facts selectively to fit theories--Powell lays out the facts of Bigfoot encounters as patterns, then develops theories that fit those patterns. This is truly the use of scientific method, and in an arena where conjecture runs rampant, Powell's approach is refreshing. As far as I know, Powell is the first Bigfoot researcher who has posited the idea that Bigfoots may possess "alternative" higher abilities, which would explain both the eerie similarities between accounts of encounters and the reason why the creatures have managed to elude humans so well for so long. For example, Powell spends several pages in the book discussing the possibility that Bigfoots may possess infrasound capabilities (emitting low-level frequencies to paralyze and disorient humans or prey). Bigfoots having this ability would explain the "I'm being watched" sensation so often felt by people venturing into an area populated by Bigfoots. People need to prepare for the truth and make all the connections now. This book does just that. I highly recommend adding this book to your Bigfoot collection.Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Neu

It reads very well..........
The writing style will draw a reader in, many books on this subject read like science journals, as it boring, not the case with The Locals.Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Gebraucht

An Authoritative Read
It is difficult to find good solid material about a topic like sasquatch but this is one of the notable exceptions. Full of inside information from researchers as weil as fascinating documented tales and reports that will make it difficult to put the book down. Very well written and a very interesting read for anyone looking for something more than another superficial look at a controversial topic or yet another sensationalized horror story. If you are seriously curious about the subject of sasquatch, this is a must read.Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Gebraucht
