What You'll Find Inside

This book explores many strange and "true" stories about different monsters. It has eight main parts. You can read about wild-men, and even bigfoot or sasquatch. It also covers mysterious sea creatures, like the famous Loch Ness Monster. Plus, you'll find tales about vampires and werewolves.

Each part of the book starts with an introduction to that type of monster. Then, you'll read short stories about supposed encounters people had. After each story, there's a "fact file." These fact files look closely at what happened in the story. They also share other interesting facts about similar events.

The book is written in a way that lets you decide if you believe the stories are true or not!
