From sinister goblins to the utterly terrifying Wendigo, Beyond The Fray: Paramalgamation has over two hundred pages of encounter stories that will send shivers down your spine. First you might be asking, what is paramalgamation? Simply, it is the melding together of inexplicable paranormal experiences, which can and should by all rights be wholly separate. In this second book by renowned paranormal researcher, Shannon LeGro and bestselling author, G. Michael Hopf; comes a collection of unexplained, nearly impossible to classify encounters with the strange, terrifying, and life-changing. Run-ins with goblins, creatures, and human-looking copies that don't fit into a neat little box like Bigfoot or ghosts. This is a collection of some of the strangest and scariest stories ever told by the people who experienced them. Sit back, relax and we suggest you keep a light on.

Be mindful of what lies beyond the wood line. It's argued that the recent search for Bigfoot officially began on September 21, 1958, when journalist, Andrew Genzoli of the Humboldt Times, featured a letter from a reader about loggers in Northern California concerning large footprints they'd found at a work site. What began as a fun article turned into an almost instant national sensation and since stories of the elusive creature have poured in, not just from California and the Pacific Northwest, but from around the world. BEYOND THE FRAY: BIGFOOT features personal eyewitness accounts and terrifying encounters, many taken from the transcripts of the popular podcast, iNTO THE FRAY. These stories are unique and scary. They will leave you wondering what this creature is and will no doubt give you pause before you cross the wood line and enter the woods.
