MONSTER HUNTERS: ON THE TRAIL WITH GHOST HUNTERS, BIGFOOTERS, UFOLOGISTS, AND OTHER PARANORMAL INVESTIGATORS

Book ID/图书代码： 12580015B79394

English Summary/英文概要： Do ghosts exist? What about Bigfoot or Skinwalkers? And how will we ever know? Journalist Tea Krulos spent more than a year traveling nationwide to meet individuals who have made it their life’s passion to hunt down evidence of entities that they believe exist but that others might shrug off as nothing more than myths, fairy tales, or the products of overactive imaginations. Without taking sides in the debate, Krulos joins these believers in the field, exploring haunted houses, trekking through creepy forests, and scanning skies and lakes as they collect data on the unknown poltergeists, chupacabras, Skunk Apes (Bigfoot’s stinky cousins), and West Virginia’s Mothman. He even attends an attempted exorcism. Along the way, he meets a diverse cast of characters—true believers, skeptics, and hoaxers—from the credible to the quirky. It is hard not to be swept up in the investigators’ never-wavering enthusiasm, and Kurlos has a couple of hair-raising encounters that make him second-guess his own beliefs. Yet in the end, he leaves it to the reader to decide: are these people onto something, or are they tilting at supernatural windmills?

Chinese Summary/中文概要： 真的存在幽灵吗？那大脚怪或皮行者呢？我们是怎么知道他们的存在的？记者Tea Krulos花了一年多的时间在全国寻找并采访那些以追踪超自然生物的踪迹为人生目标的人。作者并没有表达自己的立场，而是和他们一起进行实地考察，探索灵异的房子、阴森的树林，通过扫描天空和湖泊搜集证据。他甚至还参加了一场驱魔仪式。一路上，他见到了各色人等，有真正的信徒，也有怀疑者，甚至骗子。作者还经历了几次令人毛骨悚然的遭遇，令他开始怀疑自己的信念。最后，作者还是决定让读者们自己来判断——这些人所追寻的究竟是否真实。（LYR）

Awards/获奖情况：“Tea Krulos的这本《怪物猎人》和你读过的那些有关超自然生物老掉牙的故事完全不同。这本说可谓让你大开眼界，对那些致力于解决‘世界终极之谜’的人进行了诙谐又深刻的描写。而作者探访的这些人物和他们所执着追踪的生物一样独特而有趣！”——Nick Redfern，《怪物日记》和《怪物档案》的作者

“Everyone has their own idea of what a ghost or Bigfoot may look like, but what about those that dedicate themselves to the pursuit of these stories? Krulos strikes out in the dark, expertly shining a flashlight not on legends or creatures of folklore, but on the very human individuals who seek their own personal truths.” —Aaron Sagers, Travel Channel host, ParanormalPopCulture.com founder, Blastr.com Editor At Large

“Tea Krulos’s Monster Hunters is not your average "seen-it-all-before" study of Sasquatch, aliens, and creepy critters. It’s an eye-opening, witty, and insightful look at the people who have dedicated their lives to solving some of the world’s biggest mysteries. In many ways, the characters Krulos crosses paths with are as unique and fascinating as the "things" they seek!” —Nick Redfern, author of Monster Diary and Monster Files
