Worth the buy.......2007-09-06
I liked the book. It had quite a few encounters that I had not read about before. In the second part of the book you will find in brief outline the different sightings by date, but you can browse through it very quickly to find the sightings in your state. I recommend adding this to your library. The only thing that I didn't like about it is that it has included stories that link bigfoot to UFOs. I think they could have been left out.
Invaluable Resource.......2007-01-25
The Bigfoot Casebook (both the original and the updated version)is a great resource for anyone who studies the Bigfoot phenomena. Whether a field researcher, or of the more Fortean variety, the individual interested in Bigfoot needs this book. In fact, anyone who is interested in Bigfoot who is serious about research needs this book.
This book is also fun for the person who is curious about Bigfoot, even if not a researcher.
Whatever you fall on the scale of interest, the book is an excellent resource.
While the book is a useful research tool, it isn't pedantic, or difficult to read. The person who's curious about Bigfoot and enjoys reading about Bigfoot or Sasquatch will find this enjoyable.
Casebook doesn't delve deeply into any one particular Bigfoot case; that's not the purpose of the book. It's an excellent guide to specific dates, locations, etc. of Bigfoot activity/sightings.
One thing I personally appreciated was the inclusion of so-called "paranormal Bigfoot" events; those encounters involving UFOs, Bigfoot, and other anomalous phenomena.
Bigfoot Casebook gives a history of Bigfoot sightings, and presents a time line and context of sightings that any Bigfoot researcher, as well anyone with a more casual interest, will find usefull and enjoyable.
Casebook is very informative.......2007-01-16
This book is great for the person who would like to know more about bigfoot. It is broken down into sections where it describes certain aspects of what bigfoot is like, and why he is next to impossible to see. It almost gives you a feeling of what bigfoots thought process might be. It then gives a chronological description of encounters with bigfoot throughout recorded history. I would defintely recommend this book.
Bigfoot Casebook Updated: Sightings and Encounters from 1818 to 2004.......2007-01-08
I found the first addition back in the 80's at the public library and the copy was very tattered and worn. I loved it. I searched for years and finally found a used copy about 6yrs ago. I was very excited to see the updated version. Very good read. Lots of info on sightings. I was a bit disappionted that the updated didn't cover more sightings, but still a must for anyone with an intrest in Bigfoot.
Disappointed in this book but it does have information.......2006-11-29
I ordered this book because Amazon recommended it to go with Sasquatch: Legend meets Science by Jeff Meldrum. I almost wish I hadn't gotten the book because it isn't as good as I'd expected. I had in the past read some UFO/Bigfoot stories, you get a lot of that here too.
Just over half the book is a recounting of sightings/ encounters of creatures from all over the U.S. from 1818-2004. This includes not just the classic Bigfoot from Washington/Oregon but all sorts of creature sightings. I found it to be somewhat interesting reading but found that many of the cases were something like "June 1870 John Smith in Ohio saw a "hairy man" in the back forty last night" with a few other details. Most of the cases were very skimpy but some were detailed.
Some interesting pictures are included (including some bad photos of creatures, one dead) but these usually don't have anything to do with the text and are sometimes more interesting.
Section 2 of the book is a chronological listing, not updated past 1980, of cases. This is followed by a short bibliography, a magazine list and some online sources- this last could be the best part of the book.
Book Description
Vampires are the most fearsome and fascinating of all creatures of folklore. For the first time, detailed accounts of the vampire and how its tradition developed in different cultures are gathered in one volume by eminent folklorist Alan Dundes. Eleven leading scholars from the fields of Slavic studies, history, anthropology, and psychiatry unearth the true nature of the vampire from its birth in graveyard lore to the modern-day psychiatric patient with a penchant for drinking blood.
The Vampire: A Casebook takes this legend out of the realm of literature and film and back to its dark beginnings in folk traditions. The essays examine the history of the word “vampire;” Romanian vampires; Greek vampires; Serbian vampires; the physical attributes of vampires; the killing of vampires; and the possible psychoanalytic underpinnings of vampires. Much more than simply a scary creature of the human imagination, the vampire has been and continues to haunt the lives of all those who encounter it—in reality or in fiction.
Customer Reviews:
Wasted Time.......2001-07-09
This book is certainly one of the worst books I ever purchased. The information about the subject is completely irrelevant and of cource misleading.The author Alan Dundes clearly states that Vampyrism has nothing to do with Vlad Tepes!!! I literally had to tear this book apart when I got to know the real essence of it.If you're a fan of superstitions and scary stupid rumurs go for it,but if you are searching for truth don't even think about buying this book.I should have known it by even looking at the cover.
An excellent collection of academic perspectives on vampires.......2000-11-04
If you are interested in getting behind the fiction to the facts of vampires, this is an excellent place to start. The collection of scholars who wrote essays for this volume come from anthropology as well as psychiatry, with historians as well as students of Slavic culture. Consequently, you are bound to find one perspective on vampires that will suit your personal inclinations. More importantly, taken as a whole the book provides a broad spectrum of academic study of the popular phenomenon.
Eleven scholars unearth the legend........1998-11-06
The vampire of literature and films is perhaps too familiar, but the underpinnings of the legends in the folk traditions of southeastern Europe are quite different from the popular image, and more interesting.
Eleven fascinating essays by scholars in Slavic studies, anthropology, history, and psychiatry here illuminate this dark corner of primitive imagination, show how such a seemingly bizarre belief is tied to certain folk practices of exhumation, bring the studies up to date with cases of modern "vampires", and offer a psychoanalytic interpretation of the phenomenon. (The "score" rating is an unfortunately ineradicable feature of the page. This reviewer does not "score" books.)
interesting book.......1998-11-03
The Vampire--A Casebook, is fairly informative. It makes the observation in the first chapter that the word Vampire is actually of serbian origen, not transalvanian or hungarian as many people think. It is edited mostly by college professors none of whom seem to believe in any kinds of vampires as being real. One guy teaches a class on vampires at the University of Virginia. He edits the chapter of the book which deals with seventeen or so brief--one paragraph--reports of peasents in Romania's accounts of what vampires do. They're capable of drawing illusions of enchanted forests in so doing converting a hapless victem who believes the illusion into a vampire. The chapter on the greek vampire points out differences and variations of customs from other regions' as well as the similarity of: one way of making a vampire is to have a cat (or sometimes any other object) cross over a corpse. The grusome cover of this book will grab your attention.

Book Description
Throughout the modern UFO era, thousands of honest scientists and informed laymen have seen through the official denials, the suppressions, and the whitewash -- and realized that, indeed, we are not alone. To them, author Jacques Vallee, the world's most renowned UFO expert, presents a tantalizing question. What if -- just if -- these alien visitors are Not from other planets? What if they have always been among us?
What if we can finally prove the case to which so much evidence points: That they have lived on earth for centuries, perhaps, from the beginning of time. That they may inhabit another dimension, a dimension so startlingly different from our own that our consciousness lurches to experience it religiously.
At once exhilarating and persuasive, Vallee's brilliant insights include a metaphysical odyssey through some of the most mystifying incidents in religious and mythological lore.
The miraculous visions of the Lady of Fatima in 1917.
The "cloudships" said to have visited medieval France.
The ancient Tzeltal Indians of Mexico kidnapped by flying half humans.
With his unparalleled knowledge of thousands of close encounters. Vallee -- the UFO authority celebrated in Steven Spielberg's Close Encounters of the Third Kind -- constructs an eye-opening, yet ultimately irresistible theory: one that reveals the shocking reality of the ever-present, ever-powerful interdimensional aliens of Earth... and humanity's persistent inability to understand them.

old but good.......2007-08-20
i really am enjoying this book, granted im not all the way through it yet. valee did such a job with this book.
Interesting, but insubstantial.......2006-04-09
Dimensions: A Casebook of Alien Contact provides dozens of fascinating stories and provocative questions. Yet most of the questions are reiterations of one another, and none of it is backed up by substantial analysis or evidence. I don't mean to say that such analysis or evidence could not exist--just that it isn't in this book. The author seems to think he is performing science when instead he is telling stories, and the result fails to be a very good example of either.
Seeing beyond the illusion of space and time.......2003-04-25
This book deals with the concept of alternate realities and other dimensions. It also shows how this seems to explain the simularity between the reports of "gods" and faery folk in the past, with reports of UFO's and their occupants in the present. It is interesting that Vallee (who was the model for the French scientist in "Close Encounters of the Third Kind") doesn't see UFO's as extraterrestrial visitors. He maintains that they have always been here with us.
Here we have the idea that our everyday conception of space and time is merely an illusion. The universe is a much stranger and more complicated place than we assume. Space and time are illusionary constructs for a limited consciousness. The truth appears to be closer to a holographic universe. As Vallee states it, the synchronicity and coincidence that abound in our lives suggest that the world may be organised like a randomized data base (the multiverse) rather than a sequential library (the four dimensional world of convensional physics.) Occationally human beings see beyond the illusory curtain of space-time, but it seems to take a major "shake-up" of the individual's mind and habitual way of seeing things. Sometimes this "shake up" seems to come from without- from the "visitors." But this is not an "invasion", it is instead a spiritual system that acts on humans and uses humans.
A book that further explores this theme is _Daimonic Reality_ by Patrick Harpur.
Level-headed and open-minded.......2001-12-17
Vallee is a rarity in the world - an open-minded scientist who takes UFOs seriously and can write about them with wit and style. In all of his books, one senses a serious man who has no time for either the true believers that UFOs are all extraterrestrial craft nor the mindless skpetics who think the thousands of eyewitness accounts are likely the result of indigestion, like Scrooge's sightings of a ghost. His theory, that these may be interdimensional beings who are toying with us, or teaching us, or both, is original and provocative. And he has a number of great lines which I have highlighted in my copy of the book. My favorite: "There is a strange urge in my mind. I would like to stop behaving as a rat pressing levers-even if I have to go hungry for a while. I would like to step outside the conditioning maze and see what makes it tick. I wonder what I would find. Perhaps a terrible superhuman monstrosity the very contemplation of which would make a man insane? Perhaps a solemn gathering of wise men? Or the maddening simplicity of unattended clockwork?" This is typical of his thinking and writing. Of all his books, I would recommend this as well as Passport to Magonia, although there is some overlap between them. Vallee has been studying UFOs since the 1960s and there is no better authority today.

Book Description
A revised, updated edition of Keith's classic investigation of the disappearing scientists, reported in a 1975 BBC documentary about an international conspiracy to abduct top space scientists. This is a secret program of space migration for elites to escape the pollution and overpopulation. To accomplish this, citizens are kidnapped by secret government UFOs to ultra-secret space colonies, where they are subjected to mind control and used as slave labor.

A lot of forbidden history!.......2006-07-06
This was my first book by Jim Keith. I must say that, he is one of my favorites! I have other books by him, but,I have not read them yet. This was my first.
I love this book. It has a lot of info about the secret societies that other books dont. And, also I loved the chapters about Project Paperclip. Do yourself a favor and check out Project Paperclip. An actual program that the govt. actually admits, too! A great hidden moment in AMERICAN HISTORY! The book sited actual books about the subject. I wanted to buy copies of those books, but, they are out of print! Go figure!
This book is a great read! It has a lot of ideas about what is really going on in the US and the rest of the world! If U dont have an open mind, forget this book! If U think U have everything under control, forget reading this book! But, if U have clicked on this review, chances are, U do have an interest!
The beauty of being alive is that, U can decide for yourself the truth of the book!
The author sources every point that I have researched from the book, and his sources add up!
If U call yourself an American, read this book! If U are a human being read this book! If U are not the least bit intrigued, then send me an e-mail and tell me why! There will be a short quiz about the book, before we begin the debate! HAHA!
Take care all! "U are! The moment U decide to be!"
This Book has alot of Conjecture.......1999-07-11
This being my first Jim Keith book, I didn't know what to expect. He likes to trash other authors, but he really doen't come up with any real visions himself or names. places,etc. Theories about what he perceives with a little help from some other auithors that he agrees with.
Product Description

Ghost Hunting and Parapsychology - Is there a Difference?.......2007-09-15
This is a wonderful book that examines the ever growing field of "Ghost Hunting" and Paranormal Investigations. It brings a strong dose of critical thinking for anyone who wants to venture out into the night through dark cemeteries and the basements of creepy looking old houses.
I am grateful for Auerbach's scientific approach to the paranormal, PSI phenomena and the practical outworking of field research. Auerbach is one of the very few people in the world who actually has an accredited Masters degree in Parapsychology and is one of the top minds of the professional Parapsychological community. He is one of the rare individuals who rightly explains why "hunting for ghosts" in cemeteries (especially in the dark of night) is extremely contrary to true field research and reveals the difference between "hunting ghosts" for adult fun (a type of mature thrill-seeking) and truly approaching paranormal investigations with the desire of finding real answers.
This book is a welcome tonic in the midst of so many so-called "scientific" paranormal investigation shows on TV and paranormal investigation groups throughout the country. Just because one uses "advanced techonolgy" during an investigation does NOT make the investigation scientific or even rational. Hopefully more and more people who want true answers about Life after Death, Spirits, and Psychic Phenomena will discover Auerbach's great books.
I've read most of the books by so-called "ghost hunting experts" and find a great distance between such books and Auerbach's. The main difference is Parapsychology. Auerbach understands it and uses it and the others don't. If you don't know the difference then arm yourself with it. Be very weary of anyone who claims to be an "expert" in this field just because of the amount of investigations that they have done, because they are the president or leader of a paranormal group, or because of how many books they have written. Study Parapsychology. Auerbach explains and uses it in all of his books, and with it you will have the tools to recognize the self-proclaimed authorities and their un-scientific explanations.
Mostly all of the Paranormal Investigation groups today as well as the more famous TV shows of the same suffer from two main problems - ignorance and arrogance. Ignorance because of their woeful lack of real science (Parapsychology) and arrogance because their pride scoffs at the notion that they need to be more educated in their knowledge and understanding of the paranormal from where they are at now. Most leaders of these groups do not follow Parapsychology, do not continually seek better, more scientific understanding of the phenomena, nor are really humble people when it comes to these matters. The longer you are in this field the more you will find this the case.
Remember, at its most basic level, science is supposed to represent the investigation of the unexplained, NOT the explanation of the uninvestigated. To be ignorant of the science of Parapsychology does not help the field of paranormal investigations, but actually ends up hurting it.
A fascinating read.......2005-12-24
This is a terrific new book from America's best known ghostbuster, parapsychologist Loyd Auerbach. I suppose in some ways the title is a bit misleading, because this is far more than just a collection of ghost cases that Loyd has investigated. It covers all the basics. What ghosts are. What poltergeists are. What hauntings are. What makes them different. How you deal with them. What the right way is to approach a case. How to do a good investigation. And, perhaps more importantly (although often forgotten), how do you actually HELP the people who are having these experiences. I love this book. It's written in a wonderfully clear style and full of interesting tales of things that go bump in the night (not all of which are ghosts!). A great buy for anyone interested in paranormal phenomena.

The scariest of the "Chicken Skin" series.......2001-07-19
I have collected all of Glen Grant's Obake (Japanese word for "ghost") books that I could get my hands on. My sister introduced me to these books a few years ago, which are the collected "stories of the supernatural" by Hawaii's reknown Time Walks host, Glen Grant. She gave me one a year as birthday presents, but I got impatient and tracked down the rest on my own.
His previous books (_Obake: Ghost Stories of Hawaii_, _Obake Files: Ghostly Encounters in Supernatural Hawaii_) focused on more folkloric ghost tales... urban legends, haunted places/objects, various spirits/ghosts/demons from Hawaii's multicultural heritage, etc. I think the reason I found this one scarier is because these stories are based on "actual" crime events... murder, rape, and suicide (the book includes a parental warning that, while he tries not to use unsuitably vulgar or graphic language, some parts of the book may be inappropriate for young children).
Mr. Grant is a fine storyteller (though there are several typos throughout the book, which I found a bit distracting). He has made a career of collecting people's personal stories of supernatural encounters and researched the connection to the myths and legends of Hawaii and her mult-ethnic people and acutal historic events. Even if you don't believe, it is a fascinating study in Hawaii's ethnic and social history. However, if you have spent any *real* time in Hawaii (I grew up there), you would have to acknowledge that the Land is very much alive... whether with local spirits, gods, or otherwise. My sister, an intelligent, practical person, could not read a few of his books at night. And if I still lived there, I would have been very uncomfortable too. OTOH, the stories also make me eager to find out more about Hawaii's recent and Ancient past. This is the mark of a good folklorist and storyteller.

Anecdotal Ghost Research.......2000-12-21
The author is a sensitive who writes about her own experiences and those that have been told to her by others. There is nothing compelling about the photographs and very little proof, research or data to back up her claims. This is a very light piece of work at best.
Book Description
Shocking evidence that alien implants are real...as told by the doctor who removed them!
Alien implants. The objects are real. The facts.are indisputable. But where did they come from?
*A defense worker experiences bizarre radiolike noises coming from inside his jaw. Dental X rays reveal a small triangular object of unknown origin....
*A woman witnesses a UFO one night in the San Fernando Valley. Ever since, she has carried a small, unidentifiable object implanted in her leg....
*A young boy witnesses a glowing, hovering object one night in a potato field. Years later, during a routine X ray, doctors find a mysterious metal object buried deep within his flesh....
Gathered here in shocking detail is hard evidence the medical community has long denied: tangible proof that alien implants are real. They cannot be explained by science. They did not come from earth. And each possesses the unmistakable characteristics of alien origin.
In this eye-opening book, Dr. Roger Leir--a true pioneer in this extraordinary field--documents eight amazing stories of unknown objects being removed from persons reporting alien abduction. The results are some of the most astonishing finds of any UFO research to date.
The question remains: Are we the beneficiaries of implantation...or its victims?

Good Sampling of Spirit Classics.......2005-02-27
The previous review appears to be for the Spirit book dealing with Haunted Ghost stories; this book is actually the "Spirit Casebook", which includes many classic tales. The stories are some of Eisner's best; this book is also excellent for anyone just being introduced to the Spirit.
Here's a list of the stories included:
"Two Lives", "Ten Minutes", "The Killer", "Wild Rice", "Life Below", "Gerhard Shnobble", "Meet P'Gell", "Death Of Autumn Mews", "Christmas Spirit Of 1948", "Lorelei Rox", "The Last Hand", "Visitor", "Fox At Bay", "The Embezzler", "Rat Tat, The Toy Submachine Gun", "Sand Seref", "Bring In Sand Saref", "Satin"

In this 160 page paperback, The Spirit appeared only as a host (rather like one of the characters in one of the old EC stories, except The Spirit did not make a ghastly pun or crack at the end of each story!) to tell 'true' accounts of haunting or appearances of ghostly apparitions. In most cases the source of each case is given, the majority of these accounts being set in Great Britain over a hundred years ago. While not in the "spirit" of The Spirit (to the letter), this is a wonderfully fun book and truly worth the effort of finding, Eisner fan or not.
