Hudson Valley Paranormal - Dr. CS Matthews, Professor WHAM

Welcome to the neighborhood: home of UFOs, Little People, Lights and Bigfoot.  CS Matthews covers other oddities in her book, including missing time and haunts along the underground railroad. About that up close and personal experience with Sasquatch. We talk about the night she was driving home and being extremely cautious, anticipating the ever possible deer encounter and hoping to avoid contact. Then she saw Bigfoot.

Amazon Review: A specific book in a field that often generalizes -"I love that this book has the courage to look at the weird and particular. It doesn't just go the usual "UFOs over [your state here]" route-- it really feels lived in and personal. It captures that inimitable, strange Hudson Valley magic."Brief reference to her dissertation - Taken: Constructions of Race, Biology and Colonialism informing the Alien Abduction Narrative in the United States.  568 pg. PDF. (Contact her.) Underscores the need to further explore the differences between cultures, Indigenous, African American vs White narrative in the UFO experience. Tons of reference material.
