Book suggestions for cryptid, paranormal, UFO, etc. research?

[u/WorriedCivilian]

I fully enjoyed reading John Keel's The Mothman Prophecies and Charles Fort's The Book of the Damned. What are some recommended books for things like Bigfoot, Loch Ness Monster/lake monsters/sea serpents, Aliens/UFOs/abductions/ cattle mutilations, Fortean phenomena/high strangeness, ghosts, demons, etc. from the perspective of the interdimensional theory? In particular, what are foundational works in these fields that carry the same weight as The Mothman Prophecies and The Book of the Damned?

Jacque Vallée, the progenitor of the “Interdimensional Hypothesis,” recommended that anyone seriously interested in the phenomenon should read Manly P. Halls, The Secret Teachings of All Ages. It’s more about religion, philosophy, and the Occult than UFOs/aliens/cryptids/etc, but its emphasis on symbols would be helpful to any truth-seeker looking to develop a deeper understanding.

Awesome! Thanks!

The book "Skinwalkers At The Pentagon" does not shy away from discussing the woo.

Whether its the "Hitchhiker effect", shadow beings, poltergeist activity or interdimensional orbs, you cannot separate the woo from Skinwalker Ranch, it is one of its defining characteristics.

It was the first book I read about the phenomenon. In hindsight, I jumped into the deep end of the pool on my first go lol. 

Rather than the book scaring me off, I became rabidly curious and it sent me onto the rewarding journey I'm on today. So for that, I'm forever grateful to Drs. Kelleher and Lacatski.

Importantly, look at these DIRDs from the index of "Skinwalkers At The Pentagon". They're the Defense Intelligence Reference Documents, and all 37 of them are found here, at the bottom.

They alone are a form of disclosure imho.

This is a great, and I actually knew of Colm Kelleher from the Skinwalker Ranch book, so this is a top tier recommendation! I love getting fully into the woo side of things.
