Book Reviews of Valley of the Skookum: Four Years of Encounters With Bigfoot

Book Review: Creative Fairy Tale
Summary: 2 Stars

The first three quarters of this book read like a creative writing accomplishment by the autor. If this poor lady had all of these experiences happen to her, she would indeed be considered a paranormal magi extraordinaire. Sali Sheppard-Wolford brings to mind an annoying acquaintance, who upon hearing of any pertinent experience, adds her own, "Oh, that happened to me,too." Each venture into the forest surrounding this lady's home in Washington state presented, according to her, yet another fantastic mysterious encounter to add to the long list of Bigfoot sightings, UFO experiences, spirit guide odysseys, spirit lights, phantom trains, and on and on.

I found the story interesting, however unbelievable, until an abrupt change in direction of the storyline during the last quarter of the book. All of a sudden, instead of the fantasy tale of monsters, hauntings, and alien phenomena, we are taken on a dark journey into the realms of the authors unstable marriage. There are comments from the very beginning of the story about the lack of interest that her husband has for her, and vice versa. This one revealing aspect of her tale made me wonder if in the midst of a very unhappy realtionship, she out of an unconscious need for a diversion, created these aberrations for herself. One would need the objective recollection of the other individuals in the story to put all the pieces of this puzzle together. Simply put: "Marginally believable, but entertaining."

Summary of Valley of the Skookum: Four Years of Encounters With Bigfoot

A four-year story of ongoing encounters between the author, Sali Sheppard-Wolford and a group of Bigfoot that played in her yard and thunderously walked by her house in the dead of night.

Four years of encounters with a group of Bigfoot in Orting, Washington. Investigations of Bigfoot and other strange phenomena in the area. In addition to the Bigfoot encounters, Sheppard-Wolford describes her spirit journeys with the Indian guide, Dream Walker, and investigations of other strange phenomena near Orting, including an old UFO crash where the old newspapers reporting the crash have mysteriously disappeared and spirit lights that appeared on the ridge above the river.
