An old Scottish prayer reads: “From Ghoulies and Ghosties, and Long-Legged Beasties and Things that Go Bump in the Night, Good Lord Deliver Us!”
In this chronicle of fantastic and phantasmic beasts, we are less concerned with “ghoulies and ghosties” but we will be looking quite a bit at the beasties, long-legged or otherwise.
The Bonnacon is a silent but deadly fantastic beast best not approached from behind, as this unwise 12th century warrior is about to learn.
This is the first post on my new blog. I’m just getting this new blog going, so stay tuned for more. For Southern Paranormal Tales check out my Dixie Spirits blog. The Fantastic Creatures will deal mostly with Cryptozoology and allied topics, so expect us to investigate aspects of nature–and super-nature–that Richard Attenborough wouldn’t touch with a ten-foot pole.

I am an author, lecturer, and consultant with six books currently in print. My my interests span a wide variety of subjects, including Archaeology, History, Politics, Folklore, paranormal phenomena and forteana , as well as anthropology. I work in different literary genres, including investigating things that go bump in the night.
I currently have six books in print: Strange Tales of the Dark and Bloody Ground, Ghosts and Haunts of the Civil War, Dixie Spirits, Ghosts and Haunts of Tennessee, and The Paranormal Presidency of Abraham Lincoln, a factual history of some more esoteric--and hitherto overlooked--aspects the sixteenth President. My most recent effort is Ambrose Bierce and the Period of Honorable Strife, published in hardcover by the University of Tennessee Press and chronicling the wartime experiences of young Ambrose Bierce, noted American author. Bierce has been called many things by many people, but hero and patriot and idealist, should be added to the list after reading this book.
I am currently at work on several projects, some dealing with the American experience but also several fiction and non-fiction works exploring the mysterious recesses of the Age of Arthur.
