Review: Another Bigfoot?
Rating: 5 out of 5

Like most people, I suspect, I possess an interest in the paranormal and the unknown. I used to love the old “In Search Of …” series with Leonard Nimoy, for example. One of my favourite speculations from that show was on the famous Bigfoot or Sasquatch of the Pacific Northwest. Could such a creature exist? Although some of the evidence is pretty sketchy (the obviously faked Roger Patterson video, for example) the wilderness of where this creature is supposed to inhabit is so huge it is at least possible.Imagine my surprise then when I learned of a similar creature known as the Kushtaka which is supposed to inhabit Alaska. Kushtaka, or the land otter, are a major part of the culture and legends of the local Tlingit Indians of the area. Could there be anything real behind this legend? In this book Mr Waller takes a scholarly approach as he mixes research (some original) with myth. You may not come away from this experience believing in the Kushtaka (on the other hand you might) but you will likely enjoy the journey. Recommended for all those who believe in the possibility of other worldly things.
