Book Synopsis

History's most enduring mysteries and legends involve tales so incredible that they blur the line between fact and fantasy. This nonfiction series for age 12 and up examines current evidence surrounding Bigfoot, alien activity, and other mythical creatures and sites, as well as related conspiracy theories, cover-ups, hoaxes, and famous sleuths. The truth is out there--uncover it! It dwells in a dark lake in the Scottish Highlands--so says the legend of the Loch Ness Monster. For thousands of years, people have told stories of "Nessie," the giant water creature with a long neck and flippers. But is it real or a hoax? Scientists and historians seeking the truth debate conspiracy theories about the secretive animal, while tourists line the shores, watching for proof. For readers age 12 and up, this title investigates the phenomena surrounding Nessie, from historical accounts and popular myths to evidence and notable sleuths. Includes a glossary, index, sidebars, and further resources.
