The encounters and sightings in "Sasquatch Encounters" have never been published in print or online before! These incidents came to us from many states and they are in the words of those who met the Bigfoot. The events and sightings in this book include a well-accredited professor of anthropology offering his confirmation of the probability of the existence of these creatures and a fellow professor who had an actual encounter with Sasquatch before he ever met the other doctor. The encounter by Evel Knievel's father as was told to the author by his personal friend, Nic Knievel, brother of the famed motorcycle stuntman. Al Capone's shooting incident was found in a very old article that was prepared for printing in the Chicago Sun Times newspaper, but for reasons unknown was never submitted. Possibly due to fear of retaliation by the Capone gang. There are several incidents that came from the personal journals of early gold miners that were submitted by their descendants; proof that the Bigfoot has been there all along. We did not start out belonging to the Bigfoot believers camp, but as we were researching for our hiking book, "Hiking Sasquatch Country: Tails and Trails in Bigfoot's Backyard," we had some incidents that we couldn't explain until we came in contact with people in our Southern Oregon home that were able to shed light on our mysterious adventures, and it made Sasquatch more than just theory. Neither of us had before lived outside larger cities, and we found profound enjoyment in hiking, so we felt that a detailed hiking book would enable others to enjoy what we had. Then, after meeting so many people who had also had close encounters with the mysterious Sasquatch, we decided to collect these experiences to add to our book. The authors of these happenings are from all over the U.S., and it is amazing how much similarity there is in the descriptions of our mysterious Sasquatch, which certainly lends credence to the existence of this wild being that seems to have the same senses of hearing and seeing as humans, however magnified a hundred times. Welcome to Bigfoot country!
