I Know What I Saw

Praise

“A striking collection of cryptozoological creatures and fantastical folklore from North America…. This quirky, deeply researched guide will be a great resource for monster hunters.”
—Publishers Weekly

“It seems that there are still bits of the ‘goblin universe’ out there—Goat Men, Puckwudgies, Spook Pooches and more. Ms. Godfrey gives an admirably tantalizing but evenhanded guide to them.”
—Wall Street Journal 

“The shadowy realm of monsters and weird human-animal hybrids is not limited to the ancient, dusty past, but exists right alongside us today, revealing itself in terrifying ways. There is no better navigator through this bizarre and scary landscape than Linda S. Godfrey, one of the most outstanding researchers in the cryptid field. This book will both thrill and chill you.” 
—Rosemary Ellen Guiley, author of The Encyclopedia of Angels

“The most frightening monsters you can imagine may be lurking in your own backyard.  In this unsettling collection of testimonials and anecdotes, veteran monster-hunter Linda Godfrey shows how ancient myths and indigenous legends inform modern sightings of walking wolves, dire dogs, deer people, and other strange beasts in rural America.  You will think twice before driving down a country road at night after reading this book.”
—Scott G. Bruce, editor of The Penguin Book of the Undead and Professor of History at Fordham University

“Linda Godfrey continues to position herself as a much-needed journalistic voice in an often overlooked subject. I Know What I Saw presents not just a fascinating, terrifying, scintillating series of spooky stories, but begins to pull at the strings that tie together some of the greatest mysteries of all time. Do real monsters exist? The answer might shock you.”
—Seth Breedlove, filmmaker at Small Town Monsters

“From ancient burial mounds to mysterious woods, reports surface of strange creatures that seem to be flesh and blood, but that, paradoxically, have supernatural abilities. Come with Linda Godfrey as she seeks for answers to the mystery and skillfully guides us through the monstrous mayhem!” 
—Nick Redfern, author of The Bigfoot Book
