Book Reviews of The Creature: Personal Experiences With Bigfoot

Book Review: Incredible if true
Summary: 5 Stars

This this is perhaps the most fascinating Bigfoot book I've ever read--and I've read nearly all of them. Jan Klement (pseud.), a science professor at a college in Pennsylvania at the time this was written (1976) allegedly befriended a Sasquatch that took to visiting his cabin in the Pennsylvania hills. Yes, _befriended_. The author allegedly had literally dozens of encounters with a being he nicknamed "Kong" and which he describes at length. If this story is true it far overshadows other alleged close observations of Bigfoot, from Albert Ostman to William Roe's. Furthermore, the story would have value because the main eyewitness was a university science professor and his observations, while amateur, are intelligent and extremely insightful.

Is the story true? I think so. The story seems hard to believe because quite simply, no one has ever reported such close and consistent contact before. The author does also describe some strange events. However, there is nothing that stands out as being obviously manufactured, nor is there any pattern to the implausibility or any indication of insincerity. The story is told in a straightforward and detailed manner.

If it is a hoax, it is a sophisticated one hatched by an intelligent, learned person and frankly I doubt such a person would invest so much time cooking up such an elaborate hoax. (Bigfooters, who are the exact opposite on the other hand just might but as a rule lack the sophistication and communicative skills.) As for the author, he wrote the book in anonymity and states that if identified, he will deny all knowledge of the events described. He says in the book, "whether you believe these events is of no importance to you or me." Quite frankly, I believe him, and I believe this hidden gem might be the most significant Bigfoot book avaliable on the market today.
