festered since 1962 this book may make some "experts" seek shelter, others may lash out, but none can ignore the facts and logic presented in this book.  Strange Highways is chalked full of never before seen photographs and creature sketches.  By teaming actual field testing and real in person interviews, Jerry D. Coleman makes Strange Highways a must have!

"Strange Highways: A Guidebook To Americas Mysteries And The Unexplained" is a NEW fresh look at a mix of exclusive stories as well as some of the older popular cases.  Through it's fourteen chapters it takes you through many stories taking place here in East Tennessee.  Where is the exit in this Strange Highway and if taken does it lead to a dead end or a dark winding road going nowhere?

Explore the underbelly of American Strangeness with Author Jerry D. Coleman as he goes behind the scenes into some of the most mysterious cases in paranormal history.  With more than three decades of experience as an investigator of the unexplained, Coleman had delved into the unusual history of everything from ghosts to monster sightings, Bigfoot encounters, phantom creatures and other assorted strange phenomena.  Now finally, after all of these years, he has compiled his research into a book that will not only chill you but make you look nervously into the rearview mirror as you travel down unfamiliar roadways at night!  Roaming the country, he presents an amazing phantasmagoria of Bigfoot sightings, visits from beyond the grave, eerie encounters with anomalous
