Its all beensaid many times before: A race of hairy giants roam the wild landsand woodlands of North America, creatures of a strange origin seenperiodically and by thousands of witnesses. These patterns continuetoday, with these undiscovered beings seemingly out of the reach ofman.

We have looked into the dark, piercing eyes ofsomething that most say does not exist: an evasive, self-seeking,shy creature that quickly moves away with cunning and craftiness,its unsuspected intelligence leading it along. There are manychasing the Mystery, the Mountain Devil, as it has beencalled, one of the many names associated with this two-legged,upright-walking being. Expeditions of varying sizes, comprised ofindividuals from all walks of life, have tried to gather criticalevidence to demonstrate the existence of these forest giants, andthe search for a Sasquatch-type living and breathing humanoid isnot limited to any one country.

In the 1970s and 1980s, in the small, quaint loggingand mining town of Princeton, British Columbia, my two brothers andI played witness to the supposedly impossible encountering thespecter coming from the wilderness. Back in 1970, our mother mayhave sighted a similar creature when a mysterious forest dwellerterrified her in the night.

From a witnesss standpoint, I will try and explainthe supposed reality of this legend and what else may be lurkingwithin the shadows of this phenomenon. Through nothing more thanbasically dumb, blind luck, this ghostly myth of apparent fleshshowed itself to us, though it has eluded mankind in general surprisingly for generations. And strangely enough, the phenomenonmay have shown itself yet again, possibly visiting the rental towerof a Lincoln County, Montana, fire lookout in the early summer of2005. My wife and our youngest boy were present that fateful night,and our strange visitor(s) left no tracks or traces of theirpresence.

This is the story of the Sasquatch, the wanderings ofa legendary needle in a haystack an explanation of a growingdilemma that continues to challenge mans mind and abilities.

Because of the high degree of controversy involvedwith this subject, I have written this book about the many caringindividuals who were kind enough to share their ideas, knowledge,and beliefs. This is all a part of the Sasquatch mystery at thispresent time. To all of them, I am extremely thankful.

For those new to the phenomenon, welcome to the worldof Bigfoot! And for those who have been searching as long and hardas I have for answers, tighten your seatbelts! Were all riding inthe same bus together on this journey, and were in for quite aride.

I believe the creature I saw in 1974 and again in1985 was flesh and blood, an undiscovered race of bipedal giantsstill roaming the forests of North America, and there is evidenceto support this belief.
