As remarkable as the discovery of a manlike primate would be, what if bigfoot is something stranger still?
Volume II of Where the Footprints End follows the trail blazed by authors Joshua Cutchin and Timothy Renner, demonstrating how deeply the inexplicable, peripheral oddities of High Strangeness are infused in our contemporary wild man mythology. The journey concludes with a pair of case studies exemplifying how the mysterious mess of the supernatural collides with reality, generating truly baffling encounters.
No one knows exactly where the footprints end... but these mark the final steps of our journey.
Where the Footprints End: High Strangeness and the Bigfoot Phenomenon, Volume II: Evidence Reviews
-
Good companion to the first volume - carries the theory further and provides lots of good additional evidence.

This book was another insightful volume into the questions and mysteries surrounding Bigfoot. I'm not sure where I stand on believing in Bigfoot. I believe in ghosts and I think strange things are out there so I guess there is a chance Bigfoot could be real too and I think the authors do a good job in proving that Bigfoot may not be just a flesh and blood undiscovered animal. The only thing keeping this book from five stars for me though is at times it felt too repetitive which made reading feel like pulling teeth.

this has similar issues with the first volume in terms of credulity, and there is also a section where they try to apply mythic archetypes to some bigfoot case studies in an extremely superficial way, but mostly this has a lot of really out there bigfoot accounts that don't fit easily into any interpretation. you get to learn about how bigfoot print trails often lead nowhere or just have one print sitting in the middle of a field, bigfoot's ability to imitate sounds of all kinds, bigfoot that move with an unearthly gliding motion, and my personal favourite, a bigfoot that someone described as being 'impossibly black, like it absorbed light'. fun stuff

Topics in this second volume : multicolored lights seen in conjunction with or near Bigfoot sightings , portals , high strangeness that surrounds Bigfoot , Trickster archetype , spirits and elves , folklore , MIB's and so on.You also get a ton of sightings.The only thing I have a problem with is using David Paulides as a source.Recommended.

Great partner to volume one!
Both volumes are a well researched and written journey connecting Sasquatch with other phenomena. The authors are willing to explore these connections while admitting how little we all know about these phenomena. Excellent job! -
Great Book on High Strangeness
This 2 volume set reminds me a lot of John Keel’s work & I say that with high praise. What Keel did for UFOs, this does for Bigfoot. The phenomenon is weirder that the Bigfoot hunting community would like to consider. -
I liked it but It was hard to finish it and iam glad iam done lol.. unlike volume 1 where I was flying trough the pages . It still was worth reading but 1 less star than vol1 for that reason.

Interesting
The ideas presented by the authors are interesting. They may work for some and definitely won't work for others. An enjoyable read! -
Interesting take on paranormal bigfoot
The subjects touched on here are interesting, and likely something cryptozoologists would rather ignore. I've personally felt the spiritual or supernatural side of bigfoot sighting has alway needed to be addressed. Not only because it makes for more interesting stories, but the fact that the stories ape (forgive the pun) UFO stories and ghost stories help underscore the fact that these stories are folklore, and not fact. The authors treat every story as fully credible, and while this increases the fun factor, it also demonstrates that the authors approach this topic from a mystical point of view, and not a scientific one. -
This book may be the definition of exhaustive. Full of detail and examples, if it skipped anything I can’t think of what it could be. Well organized and cross referenced. Yet I found it tedious to read. Maybe just more information than I wanted as a casual reader.
