Mountain Giants of the Adirondacks

By: Jason Lorefice

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

True Encounters of Giant Cryptids.

For hundreds of years, residents of Upstate New York have reported dramatic encounters with elusive large hairy hominids also known as Wildmen, Mountain Giants, Forest Wanderers, or as most people know them as "Sasquatch, or Bigfoot." Sasquatch in the Adirondacks is not a new concept. Abenaki people, and the Algonquin tribe located within the Adirondacks, are familiar with the “Kiwak” a large furry creature over 8 feet tall. Cryptozoology researcher, Jason Lorefice takes an inside look at real life cryptid encounters with these mysterious creatures that go bump in the night, including Dogman. A hairy, wolf-headed creature that walked upright and seemed unafraid of man as they terrorized many of the locals. The origins of these hominids are as mysterious as the stories themselves. Native American connections, historic lore and a keen-eyed look at possible explanations. Once fully digested, this book just may induce readers everywhere to keep a more careful eye out as they travel lonely country roads after dark.

The Encounters

I liked the constructive look at the area as a whole, the similarities of the surroundings and by the border of Vermont. Of course the chapter regarding Dogman is always up my alley of interest.

Only thing I wish it was narrated by an actual person. Because the pronounced word of Kinderhook, isn't "Kind-er-hook" but "Kinder-hook."
