    The Legendary Animals and Creatures Series

    About this series

    I’ve written a number of books about legendary beings such as Bigfoot, Dragons, Thunderbirds, Sea Monsters, Giants, and more. I also wrote a book titled “The Mythical People of Ireland” which covered the Tuatha Da Danann,  Druids, and Leprechaun elves. The information I found for that book caused me to become more curious about the little people generally.

    There are legends of the Little People all over the world. Even more interesting is that a race of very small people who were close to three feet tall were uncovered recently in Indonesia. This race is called the Flores Man and was of a similar size to the beings in many of the legends of the little people.

    This find is amazing because none of the other legendary beings have confirmed evidence of those little people in archeological sites. These findings add a lot of credibility to those old legends.

    In this book we cover these little beings from different areas of the world. This includes where they came from, stories about them possibly coming from different dimensions, and stories about sightings of them.

    Hope you enjoy this adventure into what seems like it might be a real race of intelligent legends.

      What are Cryptozoological animals? They are very rare animals which might even be imaginary or fantastical. In this book we examine a group of these top cryptids which may or may not be real. The history and observations of these animals comprise each chapter and an evaluation of the evidence for their existence is provided at the end of each chapter. Are all of these sightings fantasy or do these animals really exist? And how can they hide from most of us who have actively looked for them in the past? We also provide available pictures, videos, and witness testimonies about these Cryptids. You really should enjoy reading this book and hopefully you will have enough information to make your own decision.

      Fire is fascinating isn’t it? We love to watch fires, whether in a campfire, one in a backyard hearth, and in a house fireplace. We love to cook in it, use it to purify things, or even produce weapons. Building fires is also a lot of fun. What a rush to start a fire from sticks and fire starters that you put together then watch it burn.  And what about cooking “s’mores” as a dessert with your friends of family? There are also lots of methods to start a fire. Fires also protect us from wild animals. Even the largest predator doesn’t want to go near a fire. They are scared of it—and for good reason. There are also many legends of fire beings from the fire breathing dragon to the Phoenix which burns to death and is reborn out of the ashes. Fires have also destroyed many cities in history as well as wild fires which can destroy huge areas of land and the properties on it. These fires led to the development of fire departments. Cooking was first done on fires and is still done on many fires today. Thousands of years of recipes were all developed over open fires. There is also poetry written about fire. I’ve included some near the end of the book. Man’s climb from animals to modern humans is closely related to the usage of fire. We would probably not have survived through history without the command of fire.

      Dragons are an enduring icon around the world. Many cultures have dragons in them as mystical creatures. Dragons also affect the art and stories of many cultures throughout history. There is also the question of whether dragons really existed or not and do they exist today? Most people would say that the ideas of Dragons being real is just a fantasy. Yet there are videos and pictures of Dragons all over the modern world. Dragons are part of history and many stories of heroes include stories of them killing dragons. Like the story of St. George and the Dragon. In this book we examine the history of Dragons, stories about them and evidence for their possible existence.

      I was curious about the reality of many claims over the centuries of sea serpents or large ocean monsters so I thought I’d research this subject myself There were many amazing stories such as the giant whale which attacked a ship in the nineteenth century. This event was the reason Herman Melville wrote the book “Moby Dick”. There are many records of giant fish and serpents in the water. The question is which of these have some basis in reality. History records many types of monsters of the deep. The question is how many are real or just mythology. We also now have satellite pictures which show some incredible images of possible water monsters on our Earth. In this book I tried to do some comprehensive research on the giants of the deep and I hope you find this interesting.

      Thunderbirds are giant birds which have been known by the North American Indians from time immemorial. These birds are part of the culture, totem poles, and Indian history and mythology. The giant birds have also be seen in modern times. Some observers say they are just giant regular birds while others say they have the appearance of Pterodactyls. In this book we review American Indian beliefs and legends about these giant birds. We also review the many reports not only in North America, but all over the world of giant birds and/or flying reptiles. There are similar sightings all around the world too and we cover these also. Finally, I make an effort to determine what these sightings really are and if they might also make a case for living Pterodactyls in our world. It’s an exciting journey so please come aboard and learn about the amazing Thunderbird.

      There are thousands of reports of Bigfoot in North America and other sites around the world. These sightings include videos, pictures, and the stories of witnesses. I’ve researched and written about many types of cryptids and the reports of Bigfoot sightings are orders of magnitudes greater than any other cryptid sightings. These witnesses definitely saw something which is not human but bipedal. The questions to me which need answering are ones like: ·        How could so many Bigfoots exist in North America but the sightings are still pretty rare? ·        Why haven’t any Bigfoot skeletons been discovered? ·        Where do they live at and what do they eat? ·        Do they have any supranormal abilities? ·        Is Bigfoot an interdimensional being?  We will try to answer some of the questions in this book and propose some out of the box possibilities too.  There is a lot of Bigfoot information in this book so I hope you enjoy reading this compilation about Bigfoot.
