Maine folklore is rich in tales of humans confronted by strange beasts, both wonderful
and terrifying. The Abenaki, or “First People” had their tales of Glooskap and Pamola.
Other tales came with European settlers; and others sprang up almost out of nothing
around the fires of the logging camps.
Based on meticulous research into these tales, this volume is an encyclopedia, a field
guide to the creatures that can be found in Maine and beyond. While the tales are
whimsical and fun, they can also be considered as serious scholarship. The entries have
been peer reviewed by notable experts in the fields of folklore, anthropology, Native
studies, and cryptozoology.
Chris Packard is a high school science teacher in Bangor, Maine. He has also been
involved in environmental work, including park and ecosystem restoration in northwest
Ohio and a naturalist fellow and instructor at Eagle Bluff Environmental in Minnesota.
His writing has been published in local papers and journals in Maine.
