For more than a century, stories of a towering, elusive creature stalking the forests of North America have ignited curiosity, controversy, and obsession. Eyewitnesses swear they've seen it. Scientists dismiss it. Governments stay silent. And somewhere between belief and disbelief lies the truth. In The Secrets of Bigfoot, JW Braatz takes readers deep into the tangled web of evidence, folklore, and scientific inquiry surrounding the world's most famous cryptid. Through eyewitness accounts, forensic analysis, and on-the-ground investigation, this book separates fact from fiction and asks the question most researchers avoid: What if the mystery itself is the key? Equal parts detective work and cultural study, The Secrets of Bigfoot reveals how one legend continues to evolve in an age of drones, DNA testing, and digital skepticism, and why, after decades of searching, we still can't look away from the shadow in the trees. If you think you know the story of Bigfoot... think again.
