Cryptozoology: Science & Speculation

BY: CHAD ARMENT Cryptozoology: Science & Speculation was written by Chad Arment, a famous cryptozoologist who has conducted much research on Bigfoot, and has also dismissed and proved a few cryptids as hoaxes.

This book compiles and sorts the most significant sightings, but also provides a look at hoaxes, misidentifications, and the influential perspective of newspaper editors as they dealt with reports of cryptids.
