Thom Powell's The Locals

[Henry.May08]

Here is my review: This book is absolutely fascinating, and is perhaps the first to profile the controversial idea of habituation. It also brings to light some interesting patterns which witnesses observe with their "local" Sasquatches, such as using tactics to distract witnesses who see a Sasquatch in front of them, but hear others behind them making all kinds of vocalizations; a belly-crawling creature which seems to fit with the Skookum Cast creature (the belly-crawling was towards a fruit pile); continued temporary abduction of children to play with them or just for comfort after the Sasquatch lose a young one and other patterns which seem to be quite interesting and in some cases controversial. The Skookum expedition is given its own chapter as well. I do recommend this book quite highly. I would give it about 4 1/2 stars.

Just got my copy today, I'll let you knoe what I think.(not that that's important).
I just finished the "Impossible Visits" fiasco. Not only do I want my $40.00 back, I feel stupid for being convinced to buy it. Oh well, live and learn.

I have never read "Impossible Visits", what did you not like about it John?

I disagree with John. I found the book entertaining and interesting. I didn't buy the CD/photos, 'cause I have my own..lol. The book is only $22.(I am sure you can sell the book on E-bay/Craig's list or here.

I laughed so hard, tears running down my face, when I read "THe Rock Fight". One can read a sample of "The rock Fight, on "Impossiblevisits.com"...Chris Noel is from VT, a BF researcher too. He interviewed several families who have either adopted THEM or/and visa versa, over the years. Same with Thom Powell's "The Locals". Good read and entertaining as well. I recommend both books.

I have been reading some of the excerpts like the rock throwing incident & I am very intrigued to get this book to read it from cover to cover. The imitations of calling "mom" & the garden tools, etc. being moved overnight, they were having fun playing with this family. :D
