CRYPTOZOOLOGY is the science-based search for creatures whose existence remains unproven due to lack of evidence. Cryptozoologists refer to the animals they study as "cryptids." This includes living examples of creatures that are otherwise considered extinct, such as dinosaurs; animals whose existence lacks physical evidence but which appear often to reliable witnesses, such as Bigfoot and Chupacabra; and wild animals encountered dramatically outside their normal geographic habitat, such as phantom cats and the increasingly popular Dogmen, currently reported in over 20 states.
CRYPTID CREATURES FROM DARK DOMAINS: CONFRONT DIRECTLY SUCH DENIZENS AS THE DOGMEN, DEVIL HOUNDS, PHANTOM CANINES AND THE HORRIFIC WEREWOLVES OF FACT AND FOLKLORE.
Legends of black dogs and phantom hounds are widespread throughout the United States as well as in the United Kingdom. Though presented as a work of fiction, Sherlock Holmes creator Sir Arthur Conan Doyle based his most popular detective thriller, "The Hound of the Baskervilles," on true accounts of a mysterious black beast with blazing red eyes who is said to have attacked those crossing the moors. Some victims were lucky to have gotten away with their lives. Perhaps there are others who disappeared and whose bodies were not accounted for. Today's top paranormal researchers delve into stories of the bloody beast, who comes in various sizes and apparently even has the ability to shape-shift into an even more hideous creature when cornered, as described by England's leading cryptozoologist Nick Redfern in this stunning new work.
Here also is the latest research from Pennsylvania's foremost Dogmen researcher Butch Witkowski, who finds himself in the middle of an unprecedented wave of "bipedal canine" appearances to hunters and campers. These Dogmen are upright creatures, standing over seven-feet-tall and said to have a muscular physique similar to Arnold Schwarzenegger. The strange hairy frame is topped by the face of a hideous, snarling dog who breathes out dread and fear to all those who cross its path.
Meanwhile, newcomer Michele Lowe reveals for the first time the shocking details of a terrifying, vengeful Hellhound that supernaturally kept pace with the car she rode in as it "doggedly" pursued her through a Hollywood neighborhood.
Also included here are dozens of additional accounts by Tim Beckley, Sean Casteel, Andrew Gable, Tim Swartz and Claudia Cunningham; stories of devilish, gruesome, repugnant, mysterious beasts - said to be Satan's watchdogs protecting the portals to other dimensions and realms where no mortal should dare to tread!
