Download or read book Where the Footprints End written by Timothy Renner and published by . This book was released on 2020-05-04 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Our forests seem to be hiding something much more complex than an undiscovered gorilla. Bigfoot may be howling from a lonely mountaintop, but the bigfoot phenomenon is whispering secrets... if we will only listen. Eyewitnesses, investigators, and cryptozoologists worldwide contend ample evidence exists supporting the survival of large, hairy, apelike creatures alongside mankind today, lurking in the wilderness. By all appearances, these beings seem wholly natural, interacting with their surroundings and leaving behind hair, blood, droppings, and, of course, footprints. Yet despite their apparently physical nature, bigfoot and its hairy hominid kin consistently appear mired in High Strangeness--the peculiar, ineffable, and nonsensical absurdities so often encountered in paranormal phenomena.Some sightings seem more consistent with mythology than biology. Bigfoot often present supernatual attributes, like luminescent eyes or the ability to pass, ghostlike, through structures. Anomalous lights are regulalry seen in areas of frequent sasquatch activity. Footprints persistently, if rarely, display odd numbered toes, and--most bafflingly--bigfoot trackways suddenly terminate in the middle of open, untouched terrain. In Volume 1 of Where the Footprints End: High Strangeness and the Bigfoot Phenomenon, authors Joshua Cutchin and Timothy Renner carefully examine not only the intersection of hairy apemen with global folklore--of poltergeists, faeries, extraterrestrials, magic, witches, ghosts, and archetypal women-in-white--but also question the fundamental assumptions underlying contemporary cryptozoological beliefs surrounding bigfoot. "Impressively, even exhaustively researched, Where the Footprints End should give all students of the anomalous serious pause for thought. By documenting both the high strangeness that surrounds Bigfoot sightings, and the deep folklore in which they are embedded, Cutchin and Renner so far broaden the context of Bigfoot encounters that it is no longer possible to credit any single theory or literalistic interpretation concerning their nature. Indeed, we begin to suspect that the reality of Bigfoot is less a problem to be solved than a mystery to dissolve our view of reality itself. Here at last is the book that dear old Bigfoot deserves."- Patrick Harpur, author of Daimonic Reality "This book poses a danger to the foundations of cryptozoology. While mainstream Bigfoot investigators would have you believe that people around the world are merely encountering a lost ape, Cutchin and Renner dig into the details they've swept under the rug, excavating countless Bigfoot reports involving glowing orbs, telepathic communication, and paranormal phenomena that have more in common with tales of ancient gods and alien abductions than they do with primatology. Meticulously researched and backed up with a treasure trove of footnotes, Where the Footprints End is poised to do for Bigfoot what Passport to Magonia did for UFOs."- Greg Newkirk, Director of The Traveling Museum of the Paranormal and the Occult & Executive Producer / star of Hellier

Download or read book Another Agenda written by John Waters and published by . This book was released on 2016-11-03 with total page 270 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Another Agenda?Those words conjure scenes of warped fairness, biased equity, grotesque frame-ups, stacked juries, prearranged courses of actions and events. Everyone deals with the day-to-day incidents and experiences of their lives, rarely speculating whether if what occurs is somehow being controlled or created by outside forces.Like the rest of us, Grant Westmore never wondered if there was an elite group of masterminds out there mysteriously plotting against him and his friends. Until one night when Rob Moretti placed a collect call from a federal prison in California to Grant, a former LAPD detective-turned-Beverly Hills-private-investigator and one of Rob's oldest friends.How did Rob, an ordinary citizen on the verge of success in his life, become the target of this meritocracy? Why, in the eyes of the secret society controlling his fate, did he have to be brought down by an illegal federal prosecution and incarceration?Another Agenda reveals how the evil activities of a self-appointed and pontifical meritocracy, driven by power and greed, surreptitiously operated for decades completely above the law. In most cases, its tampering effect crystallized into the most monumental fall in anyone's lifetime - a fall that would essentially be impossible to recover from.Finally, an unorthodox and improbable team tries to persuade the chief law enforcement officer of the United States of America to reverse the white-collar criminal case against Rob Moretti before it's too late.Will the White House endorse the Attorney General's plan to see true justice prevail, and can that plan work before there's an assassination at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue?
