Description: This meticulously researched and thrilling exploration of the otherworldly will challenge your idea of reality. Mysterious wolf-people, sentient mists, and UFOs ... If you've ever heard a curious bump in the night, caught a glimpse of a strange-looking someone (or something) out of the corner of your eye, or seen an unusual craft dart across the sky before it vanished without a trace, there's only one person to call: Linda S. Godfrey. An expert in strange creatures and lore, she has offered reporting on bigfoots, werewolves, strange energy forms, and other bizarre beings for years.
Godfrey will enthrall even skeptics as she leads you through the mystical, legendary, and scientific angles of these creatures and the myths that surround them. In this book, you will encounter first-hand testimony of a terrifying transformation from woman to beast (during a church service, no less); the Lost Lizard People of Los Angeles; a growling, phantomlike home invader; wolfmen who walk on two legs; and people stalked by invisible predators. Delivering a broad mix of modern-day and historical sightings, and supported by Godfrey's interviews with eyewitnesses, Monsters Among Us is a must-listen for anyone hunting for the real accounts behind their childhood campfire stories.Brief description: Linda S. Godfrey is one of America's foremost authorities on modern-day monsters.
