IN THE BIG THICKET:
On the Trail of the Wild Man
by Rob Riggs |
|
|
|
|
|
"Rob Riggs's new book takes the reader on a wild tour through
one of America's weirdest wonderlands. Riggs has produced a
great collection on such mysterious Texan wonders as the Marfa
and Bragg Road ghost lights, and the Big Thicket's Wild Man,
including one delightfully named Ol' Mossyback. A shamanistic
journey."
—Loren Coleman, author Mysterious America: The Revised
Edition
In the big thicket, the unknown makes profound intrusions into
what we call "reality." There are wonders in this region of
East Texas and in Southwestern Louisiana—"ghost lights,"
phantom Indians, howling ape-like "wild men," and fireballs
that streak through the nighttime skies—that defy both our
common sense notions of space-time and all attempts at
scientific explanation. So come along, if you dare, for a trek
in this forest primeval. You'll emerge with a heightened sense
of wonder and a deeper appreciation of the subtle links
between the mysteries of nature and the human mind. |

About Rob Riggs |

|
ROB RIGGS is a journalist and the former publisher of a series
of award-winning community newspapers in Texas. His interest
in "ghost lights," "wild man" sightings, and related phenomena
began as a child when he heard tales about them in his
hometown of Sour Lake in Big Thicket country. Riggs began
writing about the subject more than twenty years ago while
working as a reporter for the Kountze News. Since then
his studies of the phenomena have been featured in the
Houston Chronicle and the Beaumont Enterprise. Riggs has
also consulted on ghost lights for Waseda University in Tokyo
and the Harvard College Observatory (see
