Fear in the Forest, volume 10

This volume has a wider vaiety of cryptids than normal with some very difficult to identify.

The first story is about 'white walkers' which are identified as living in a forest, long arms, bony and glowing. The second story is also hard to identify specifically as it has some Bigfoot traits but also some different ones.

These are following by four Bigfoot sightings. There's the normal bad smell, huge footprints and one instant of a stare-down but there's also an instance where a Bigfoot lost a foot. It would have been nice to know if that had been examined by scientists and what they determined it to be.

Then there's a Wendigo story and two black-eyed kids stories with their traditional old fashioned clothes. The question here is why do they seem to always have old-fashioned clothes?

Then there's two problematical stories. One is about a mother and her son living in a cabin and there's a Wendigo involved. The problem is that, as long as they seem to be staying in the cabin, the boy never goes to school. There's no mention of home-schooling, either. Then there's a story about a hunter without guns or bow and arrow but he's hunting deer.

Then there's another Bigfoot story and another black-eyed kids story. That one is very interesting as it refers to what happened to a person who let them in.

Then there's a lake-monster story followed by a wolf-woman story. The last event is Glimmer Man story.

This edition has the two problematic entries but is otherwise pretty normal for this series.
