“Paranormal author and rock journalist Maxim Furek has emerged as the 21st-century incarnation of John Keel. In “The Lost Tribes of Bigfoot,” Furek explores the uncharted waters surrounding the cryptid's forbidden realm in a rousing and controversial exposé."
— Doug Hajicek, MonsterQuest

In his latest book, Maxim Furek, a former psychologist and rock journalist, delves into the intriguing world of Bigfoot synchronicity, embracing interdimensional theories, mass hallucinations, and Jung's collective unconscious.

Furek's dedication to the subject is evident in the hundreds of accounts from researchers who strive to answer the question, “If it's not flesh and blood, then what is it?” This question forms the heart of the author's evocative thesis as he tirelessly scours American and Canadian records for evidence of this elusive cryptid.

For centuries, early newspapers printed accounts of bipedal creatures, variously listed as “Wild Men,” “Hairy Giants,” or “Sasquatch,” a narrative that has expanded into a larger scientific, religious, and paranormal reality. This reality, as Furek presents it, is a complex web of scientific theories, religious interpretations, and paranormal phenomena that intersect in the study of Bigfoot.

Furek's investigation into the tribes of true believers congregating at conferences, campsites, and online websites is a testament to their shared philosophy and “Bigfoot's sociocultural energy.” He takes issue with hoaxers, whom he charges “have sold their souls,” but his respect for the believers is unwavering.

The author challenges traditional beliefs about Bigfoot and encourages readers to embrace the seemingly impossible. After reading this book, your perspective on Sasquatch will be forever changed as you look at traditional science, anthropology, and religion through a different lens and with a different expectation.
