Lon Strickler Books

"Our world is more than we can see, more than what we have discovered and more than what we can imagine." - A cryptid investigator. In the fall of 1988, Lon Strickler, researcher, author, and publisher of the syndicated Phantoms and Monsters blog, came face to face with a red-eyed winged humanoid. This encounter changed him forever and set him on a path that has spanned decades seeking answers and ultimately the truth regarding these mysterious creatures. In the pages of this book, he covers a wide variety of winged cryptid eyewitness reports which he has personally received and directly researched over the past thirty plus years. Some of these eyewitness reports will shock, others terrify, but all will give better insight into this phenomenon and leave you wondering just what they could be.

The sightings of strange winged beings is as old as history itself and it's still happening today. In the late summer of 2011, three reports of Mothman-like flying humanoids surfaced in the city of Chicago, then nothing. Whatever it was disappeared. Then unexpectedly in early 2017, a smattering of encounters emerged from different locations throughout the Chicago metro area. These reports quickly grew to nearly fifty before stopping suddenly at the end of the summer. Why Chicago? Why now? This book will examine the witness accounts as well as the investigators thought processes in real time as these incidents were brought to our attention. The sightings continue... but we are determined to find the truth.
