The story of its fall from grace, the legend that would birth the Bat, has remained untold for 80 years. That's about to change. Superstar creators Tom King and Phil Hester team up for the first time to tell the definitive origin of Gotham City: how it became the cesspool of violence and corruption it is today, and how it harbored and then unleashed the sin that led to the rise of the Dark Knight. Two generations before Batman, private investigator Slam Bradley gets tangled in the "kidnapping of the century" as the infant Wayne heir disappears in the night...and so begins a brutal, hard-boiled, epic tale of a man living on the edge and a city about to burn"--

Unidentified Flying Objects, like religion, have found a way to divide humanity. One-third into believers, one other into sceptics and the third not really knowing where they live. The search for answers, like religion, also has been constant dead ends. Now we cannot deny the fact that once in awhile strange things happen in our skies. However, people seem to make the assumption that unidentified flying object is directly correlated to alien life. Fact? No. A UFO simply refers to anything in flight that cannot be identified or explained through conventional reasoning. This being said. However, it would not be irrational to relate the two, but the initial is not always as a result of the former. In this book, we shall cover about twenty chapters of the most infamous UFO sightings, encounters and even abductions of all time. Some of the accounts live behind an eerie chilly feeling as one goes through them with the thought that we might not be the only one but some, as is very common are merely publicity stunts or are as a result of sycophancy. It is worth noting also that one can really not pinpoint the first ever UFO sighting. Human beings have had a knack for being curious for quite a while now. From as far back as before Christ, people reported to seeing a strange object in the sky. However, life back then was much more simple, and people always assumed that all of these strange objects was as a result of religious interventions. We certainly hope that this book will go a mighty long way into breaking down the world's most infamous UFO sightings and accounts of Interstellar coming together. There are too many UFO sightings to fit in one e-book. We also do hope that this book is as factual as it could be. However, this is not to say that every account in here is true. Most UFO sightings are marred with inconsistent tales, and we have tried to sum up, through research what we believe were the actual events. Also, we hope that you would be able to distinguish between the writer's opinion and facts. Scroll to the top of the page and click Buy Now to learn more about this fascinating subject

Many people across the world believe in an ape-like humanoid creature who is covered with hair and walks on two legs. Those who claim to have seen this creature generally say that he has reddish-brown hair, is approximately seven to 10 feet tall, has a conical-shaped head, emits a powerfully obnoxious stench, and has enormous, human-like feet. In the United States, this creature is known as the Sasquatch or Bigfoot. He is attested to in Native American myths and legends that speak of giants, as well as in eyewitness accounts that predate the birth of the country. Bigfoot has relatives all across the world. In the Himalayan countries of Nepal, Tibet, and Bhutan, the local people believe in and even revere a creature that they call the Yeti, known to many Westerners as the Abominable Snowman. Many Chinese believe in the Yeren, or Wild Man, who is said to inhabit mountainous areas of the country. The Yowie is attested to by the aborigines of Australia, and the Orang Pendek (or short man) is believed to live on the island of Sumatra in Indonesia. The fact that so many cultures attest to the existence of an ape-like bipedal humanoid who lives on the outskirts of society is seen by many as evidence that such a creature does, in fact, exist. Bigfoot is generally believed by the scientific community to be something known as a cryptid, or a legendary animal whose existence has not been proven. However, thousands of people every year claim to see the creature known as Bigfoot. The number of eyewitnesses grows each year as more and more people profess to have seen Bigfoot Some have presented photographic and video evidence of him, and some have even given hair, skin, and other DNA samples!

If you are reading this, you are probably interested in Bigfoot and want to know more about the mysterious creature. Maybe you have had an eyewitness encounter with the beast yourself or want to visit an area known to be inhabited by Bigfoot in the hopes of seeing the elusive creature. You are not alone. People all over the world are searching for their own opportunity to see him. This book contains valuable, easy-to-understand information about the cryptid, including what he is and different theories - some more believable than others - that attempt to explain his existence. It talks about early Native American stories about Bigfoot as well as the role that he played in the people's spiritual life. From there, it discusses numerous Bigfoot sightings across the United States, including Alaska, as well as some in Canada. It also contains information about other cryptids, such as the Loch Ness monster, Yeti, and the giant squid. By the time you finish this book, you will have gained immense knowledge about the creature known as Bigfoot. If you are a sideline believer, unsure of whether or not he actually does exist, you will surely have come to your own opinion by the time you finish reading. Hopefully, this book will make a believer out of you. It may even lead you to seek out Bigfoot for yourself. Scroll to the top of the page and click Add To Cart to learn more
