Belated Appreciation

I have a had strange relationship with this book. Years ago, back in the 1970s, I was immersed in Bigfoot/Sasquatch material. I was into Ivan Sanderson and John Green, John Napier and Rene Dahinden, and anyone else into "Sasquatchology". Even searched out an old edition of Theodore Roosevelt's "The Wilderness Hunter" at the University of South Carolina's Thomas Cooper Library to read the "Ghost Story" chapter, which is the famed "Baumann Recollection" of trappers attacked by a bipedal "whatsit" in Idaho's Salmon River Country circa the 1840s. Wanted to read the story as Roosevelt wrote it, and a chiller it is. Throughout all this period of bigfoot fascination, however, I always stayed, as I thought, "grounded in reality". This was some sort of primeval survival, I believed. This is an ape-man. This is a pithecanthropus or a gigantopithecus or some relative to one of these. It is smart and it lives in the forests and it avoids humans as much as possible. Everything I gleaned from anecdotes about Ape Canyon, Albert Ostman, the Ruby Creek sightings, William Roe and others convinced me we were dealing with a biological creature here. (And, in MOST...but not ALL...cases, still do). Then one day I spied on a bookshelf a slender little paperback volume with a greenish "impressionistic' cover that announced itself as "Bigfoot", by B. Ann Slate & Alan Berry. I thought, "Alriiiight!" and made the purchase. Took it home and began reading it and started scratching my head. Thought "Whaaaaat?". Paranormal bigfeet? Interdimensional manifestations? Three-toed sasquatches? Invisible ape-men? My "rational" self recoiled at such notions as reported therein. I thought "This is utter crap" Complete rubbish" and pitched the book into a box somewhere. Later on I heard more such "blather" from another writer named Eric Norman. I decided he was as full of it as Slate and Berry were. When the "Six Million Dollar Man" started encountering Bigfoot as a cybernetic "bodyguard" to space aliens on television, I decided I knew then who else had bought Slate & Berry to read, the six-mill producer! And figured their claptrap married up perfectly with his own. But, over the years, as I kept sticking my nose into such things, I kept ENCOUNTERING these three-toed, paranormalist-friendly accounts of bigfoot(with no Steve Austin attached to them).AND stories of sasquatch sightings in "window" areas with associations to UFOs and "spooklights". I started getting perplexed then. Why? Because little by little I started seeing/hearing incident patterns that harkened back to that "stupid" book I had so blown off years earlier. So what did I do then? I started LOOKING for the cussed book, fruitlessly. Finally tracked it down through a used book service and ordered it. THIS time I read it with a lot more of an open mind than I had back in the mid-70s (as well as with much more knowledge of corroborating material and testimony)...and found myself completely blown away

A skeptical but creepy account

First off, this book gave me the willies. It has a lot of information on the subject especially the events that took place near the Sierra's in the late 60s early 70s, but it relates the information in a well crafted narrative with atmosphere. Good at presenting possible supernatural/extradimensional aspect of sasquatch phenomena

A Veritable Jewel of a Book

When I read Slate and Berry's book in 1976, it finally helped the Bigfoot phenomenon "make sense" within my mind. The psychic/interdimensional component of this phenomenon has been sadly overlooked since the 1970's and even then, no book summarizes this approach better than B.Ann Slate and Alan Berry's own look into the subject. I would urge all researchers to spare no resources in finding this book. No library can be said to be truly complete without it.

Should be on everyone's bookshelf- if you can find a copy!

Alan Berry is a investigative reporter from the San Francisco Bay Area. He has also served as an aid to the California legislature. This man did not gain those positions without integrity. And you understand that Berry is not some crackpot immediately upon setting into the book. Berry's story starts in the California Sierra, with an invitation from a group of hunters, to meet a family of creatures that have been regularly visiting their campsite. Berry completes the long hike in to the remote sight armed with tape recorder and camera. The recordings that were made during his first trip are proof positive of Sasquatch's existence! (Sound recordings are available on CD) This is the research book that all others should be measured against...
