On October 20, 1967, Roger Patterson and Bob Gimlin filmed what they claimed to have been a living, breathing sasquatch at Bluff Creek in Northern California. The footage took the nation, and the world, by storm. The story of how Patterson and Gimlin came to be at Bluff Creek that day is well documented. The story of how the female sasquatch, nicknamed "Patty" in tribute to Roger Patterson, came to be there, however, has never been told. Until now...

Shadow Cats: The Black Panthers of North America

For generations residents from coast to coast have reported encounters with large, black, long-tailed cats. These black panthers have left a trail of dead livestock and confused witnesses in their wake. These are animals that are not supposed to exist; animals that are not recognized by science. Despite the reluctance of wildlife officials to accept the reality of these cryptid cats, anomalous tracks continue to appear, pets and farm animals continue to disappear, and sightings continue to be reported.
In this full-color book with dozens of illustrations, author Michael Mayes examines historical sightings, interviews contemporary witnesses and big cat experts, sorts through a host of intriguing photographs, and takes a close look at the potential suspects in one of America’s most enduring unsolved mysteries. What are the shadow cats that haunt the woods, bottomlands, and waterways of our country? What are the black panthers of North America?
"Mayes brings a refreshingly scientific and analytical perspective to the gathering of extensive data and the assessment of large black cat sightings... this book will be of interest to academic zoologists as well as their cousins in cryptozoology.” — Angelo Capparella, Ph.D., Illinois State University
