  Canada is the second largest country in the world—a land of seemingly endless coastlines, vast prairies, jagged mountains, and deep boreal forests. Despite the vastness of its territory, 90% of Canadians live within 150 miles of the US border leaving room for all manner of strange beings to exist undisturbed. 
   
   
   
  Canadian Monsters and Mysteries will take the listener deep into the mysterious north where mammoths may still roam the frozen tundra while the Manwolf, loup-garou, and Waheela stalk the dense woodland and mysterious valleys. The many lakes of Canada are home to an astounding variety of aquatic cryptids while the skies house everything from Mothman-like creatures to UFOs. Phantom ships sail the waters of lakes and oceans alike as shadow people haunt the nights of those who remain indoors. 
   
   
   
  Canadian Monsters and Mysteries explores all these topics and more. Join author W. T. Watson on this tour of high strangeness in the Great White North.

  Bigfoot: The History and Legacy...

  Editors Charles River

  Through most of history, people have been closely tied to nature, hunting in forests and having an intimate knowledge of the animals in their regions. So-called “primitive” peoples were walking encyclopedias of the natural world, and yet most believed there were more creatures lurking in those woods than the ones they usually encountered.  
  In North America, the most debated subject in cryptozoology concerns the existence (or otherwise) of a large, unknown hominid inhabiting the Pacific Northwest of the United States and Canada’s West Coast. For many skeptics, this is nothing more than a woodland fairy tale that illustrates the credulity of believers, because they believe it would be impossible for such a creature to exist in a country as heavily populated as the United States yet remain completely unknown to mainstream zoologists. On the face of it, that seems a fair contention, since other large creatures such as bears, mountain lions, elk and many others live in the region. Biologists have been able to study these animals in the wild, to recover remains of dead animals, and even live specimens, but while a great many people have looked, to date, no one has been able to capture a Bigfoot or to find remains or other physical evidence such as hair that can be definitively shown to have come from an unknown hominid. That certainly seems to support the skeptics’ case. 
  	Nonetheless, sensible, knowledgeable, and seemingly witnesses continue to make sightings of something very large and odd in the vast forests of the Pacific Northwest. There is even tantalizing scientific evidence that suggests Bigfoot is something more than just a campfire tale. While these sightings are typically dismissed as errors or delusions and that all physical evidence thus far, such as footprints, have been hoaxes, fervent believers are still out there claiming that Bigfoot does indeed exist.

  I wrote this book to Build Confidence in Women all over the world. This book is a guide to God, and how He sees you. Sometimes our insecurities are that we try to carry everything ourselves.  We don’t realize that there is a God who is so much bigger than us. He lives in us and moves through us. Our lives are a reflection of Him and His power can be illustrated through us. To start this book there are God quotes because insecurity, anxiety and depression, can all be inflicted on us when we are trying to play Gods role.  We are just a piece of God‘s puzzle. I pray that you get value from this book and that these affirmations will change your life for the Greater Good. Happy reading.
