An undertaking such as this would not have been possible without the monumental efforts previously put forth by other Fortean authors and investigators from around the world. This book is built upon the shoulders of these human giants and I would like to personally thank them for their incomparable contributions to the field of Forteana and their inexhaustible efforts to collect and categorize all manner of unexplained phenomena from ghosts to goatmen, and all things in between.

Sanderson, Stephen Wagner, Jenny Randles, Rosemary Ellen Guilley, Janet and Colin Bord, Peter Guttilla, Mary Green, Karl Shuker, Frank Edwards, Michael Paul Hensen, Billy Green, and the man who started it all; the late, great Charles Hoy Fort.

Personal thanks go to Linda Godfrey, Ash Staunton, Nick Redfern, Terry Wilson, Frank Boyett, the Henderson County Public Library, Tony Gerrard; and the most tireless and dedicated UFO researcher Ive ever known; Albert S. Rosales.

All possible sources have been utilized in the production of this work, from printed material; books, magazines, newspapers and online submissions readily available for public consumption to the many hours of personal investigations and interviews that Ive conducted with witnesses over the course of the last twenty-five years.

Every incident cited herein has been presented, either to me or to some other writer/researcher, as a true event which actually happened to real inhumanoid witnesses.

Also included are a few of my own personal encounters with unexplainable entities, the authenticity of which I can attest to without reservation. However, because the scope of this book is extremely broad, it is my intention here merely to report these encounters as I found them, or experienced them; not to verify, substantiate or prove anything concerning them. The readers must, ultimately, decide for themselves the value of the data being presented here. Everything is, after all, subjective. Everything, that is, except the truth. Every account must inevitably be either accepted or rejected according to ones own disposition. And thats as it should be. There are no real experts when it comes to the unknown; only experiencers and guessers.

As I write these words the rain is pelting on the windows of my home in western Kentucky and the wind is howling through the trees and across the gently rolling pastures outside my door. A full moon looks down approvingly as the thunder booms and the lightning crashes. Its a good night to speak of such things.

So, curl up and join me by the light of a gently crackling fire. All is well. Youre safe and warm in the comfort of your home. And theres nothing standing outside looking in at you from the darkened window. Or is there?

Introduction

By Nick Redfern

A few years ago, I was contacted by a man named Bart Nunnelly; a fellow-seeker of all-things monstrous and weird. We chatted, exchanged data, opinions, cases and thoughts on a wide-range of mysteries, kept in regular contact, and over time became good friends. And so, I was very pleased when Barts book, Mysterious Kentucky , was published in 2007 and revealed a wealth of data on high-strangeness in his home-state.

Now, Bart is back with a new title; The Inhumanoids . Disappointed, you most assuredly will not be.

Back when I was eleven or twelve, I used to heartily devour books by the likes of the sadly-departed John Keel and Gray Barker that were packed with tale-after-tale of dark, mysterious and ominous encounters with strange and alarming life-forms of unknown origin.

Night after night as a young kid, I would curl up under my bed-covers, and immerse myself in the pages of The Mothman Prophecies ; The Silver Bridge, UFOs: Operation Trojan Horse; and countless other titles of a distinctly strange and unsettling nature. All the time, I would be wondering what unmentionable things might be lurking outside, in the darkened corners of my parents property.

And, Im very pleased to say, Barts book skillfully captures the heart and the essence of those classic titles, and takes me back to those years when monsters and mysterious beasts first entered my life. The Inhumanoids also presents us with a fantastic look at the bizarre, quasi-human creatures that lurk among us.

In the pages that follow, you will learn much about (amongst many other things!) lizard-men; gargoyles; centaurs; hairy man-beasts of a distinctly Bigfoot variety; mermen and mermaids; Spring-heeled Jack; phantom clowns; the Dracos; the Flatwoods Monster; the Men in Black; the Skeletoids; the Hopkinsville Goblins; blood-thirsty werewolves; flying humanoids; and much more indeed.

If you want to learn about the absolute multiplicity of strange entities that are said to lurk, walk and fly among us, then Barts The Inhumanoids is vital reading. Penned by a man with a fine, entertaining style of writing, and someone with intriguing and thought-provoking ideas concerning what may be at the heart of the many complex and puzzling encounters with such manimals, it is a title that I recommend to anyone and everyone fascinated by the monstrous, Fortean world in which we live.

Nick Redfern is the author of many books, including Men in Black ; Theres Something in the Woods , and Contactees .

Foreword

By Linda Godfrey

They are the stuff of incoherent night terrors; the subjects of astounding tales whose tellers risk ridicule at their mere mention. When sighted and experienced, they are catalysts that crack personal belief systems wide open and change the shape of the known world forever.

They go by many names in many cultures, but all have this in common; they do not fit in the known order of earthly biology. Barton Nunnelly has studied and witnessed anomalous creatures all his life, and has come up with an apt term for them; inhumanoids. The prefix in means not and the suffix oid means like or resembling. Therefore, an inhumanoid is not a human yet is somehow like or related to us. It seems paradoxical.

That is why our skirmishes with these unexplainable beings cause such great shock. No matter how monstrous, peculiar or otherworldly these manifestations may appear, they always reflect some element of humanity; whether in their anatomical features, their behavior or just the way that stare back into our widened eyes. Our befuddled recognition of their sentience coupled with our observation that they are not truly human is what makes them even scarier. As a species, we are generally not comfortable in such uncharted territory.

Nunnellys quest is to catalog and try to understand these weird beings of all kinds. His interest is very understandable to me since Ive spent much of the past two decades collecting reports and writing mainly on one specific creature; canines that walk and run on their hind legs in the wild. What I have found most interesting in my own research is that wherever this upright canid is found, other odd or unknown beasts, phantoms or phenomena are also likely to be reported. Inhumanoids, it seems, run in mixed packs.
