Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview:

#1 In 1967, a stranger appeared in the back hills of West Virginia. He was dressed entirely in black, and he wore a black suit, black tie, black hat, and black overcoat. His face was barely visible in the darkness, and his voice lacked the typical West Virginia accent.

#2 Being a nonconformist is not easy these days. I grew my beard in 1966 while loafing on the farm of my friend, zoologist Ivan T. Sanderson. I kept it until 1968 when hair became popular and half the young men in America began burying their identities in a great sea of facial hair.

#3 The fact that many seemingly straight-forward accounts of monster sightings and UFO landings can be explained by irritatingly complex medical and psychological theories should not discount them. The theories may seem more unbelievable than the original events, but they are still worth considering.

#4 The house in New York's Greenwich Village is haunted by a strange ghost. Some people can move objects with the power of their minds alone, and some can see radiations and objects invisible to the rest of us.
