The Unexplained

The Unexplained surveys reports of cryptids, paranormal claims and unexplained phenomena from Britain and around the world. Karl P. N. Shuker includes Bigfoot, lake monsters, the chupacabra, the yeti, the thylacine and other creatures whose identities or existence remain disputed, alongside UFOs, crop circles and ball lightning.

Its scope extends beyond cryptozoology to historical and cultural mysteries, including the Green Children of Woolpit, the Shroud of Turin, the Nazca lines and stories associated with Atlantis. Geographical sections range across Britain, continental Europe, the Middle East, Africa and other parts of the world, presenting illustrated accounts of subjects that sit between folklore, anomalous experience and claims awaiting firmer explanation.
