“Paranormal author and rock journalist Maxim Furek has arrived as the
21st-century incarnation of John Keel. In *The Lost Tribes of Bigfoot*,
Furek explores the unchartered waters surrounding the cryptid’s forbidden
realm in a rousing and controversial expose.” Doug Hajicek,Monster Quest
In his latest book, The Lost Tribes of Bigfoot (2024) 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,
listed variously 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.
