#WhatNornsReads – BIGFOOT, UFOs & The PARANORMAL (4 book series)

I’m completely taken by Sasquatch/Bigfoot – have been for a long as I can recall. I’m not an outdoorsy gal, though I’ve done my share of camping and hiking, so you won’t find me searching anything in the woods. Still, I’m constantly after other resources of data, such as this book.
A proud great-granddaughter of a Cherokee medicine woman, Native American lore and wisdom is important to me. It’s blended into my Christian faith as naturally as being an author is part of my storytelling heritage. That being said, I’ve gravitated to the tales of Sasquatch/Bigfoot, and even written my own books about them. I think it’s safe to say that, even though I’m not certain what exactly they are, I believe they exist.
Of the accounts in this book, I was most moved by Sam’s. His experience is most in-line with what I’ve found with the Salish beliefs and what I believe. The guy stalked by a group (Rake, I think) seems feasible, too, because he understood they “could have” overpowered him “if they chose.” However, none were violent. I do have to say, Rake’s “missing time” does play into the hypothesis that Sasquatch/Bigfoot is some sort of alien. Interesting…
Whatever you believe, these are entertaining stories of personal experiences. It is a quick read, filled with mystery, action, and wonder. It doesn’t answer any questions, but it never promised to, either. I recommend this to readers who love myth and lore, aliens, and unsolved mysteries.

I found this anthology to be intriguing. They aren’t able to be substantiated, but they don’t have to be. They are the accounts of eye witness experiences, and whether or not you believe their story is up to you.
For me, I only wish there had been more details. I appreciate knowing as much as I can to have as complete a picture as I can. With that in mind, knowing more about these cases would have made them more compelling. However, they did exactly what they were intended – they entertained.
If you love the topics listed in the title of the book or just enjoy a fast paranormal read, then this is a great pick up. It will be a fun book to absorb while waiting in line, commuting, or just passing an afternoon. Happy Reading!

This installment was a great addition to the collection. The stories are varied, and I appreciate the style of the writer/interviewer. Paul Buckner gives his own observations without judging or altering the telling. It’s more personal.
The last interview was my least favorite, but the author’s epilogue was the perfect closure. It made sense why he’d select the Little People stories to end the book. His message turned what felt like a flippant observer’s tales into something incredibly meaningful.
I recommend this book and the series. It’s a fast read, but worth it. I think Paul is right; there’s something about sharing the experience and story.

I appreciate how the author let’s the story be authentic. His commentary is a beautiful lead into the witness account and a final wrap up. It is conscientious, thought-provoking, and respectful. It truly adds to each experience shared.
I was entertained by this book because I love Bigfoot. The stories shared were interesting with elements I didn’t expect. Yet, they match legends I’ve heard of, making them unsettling.
I recommend this book and this series. As I said, Paul G. Buckner honors the truth as it’s lived not as it’s judged. He let’s the story be told by the one who experienced it then leaves it for us to decide ourselves. Well done, especially in today’s world of every loud voice trying to make their opinion more important than any other.
