SynopsisHere are wonders of the animal kingdom, bizarre social practices of the past and present, remarkable and compelling human achievements, and breath-taking tales of nature at its most unpredictable. The photographs do not lie, and this book proves the adage: Seeing is believing.The true details of the famous stories are here: What's really going on at Loch Ness; what does Roswell, New Mexico, tell us; and, what about that cloud that looked like Jesus during the Korean War? The surprising, little-known tales are here as well: the window washer who fell 47 floors and walked away; and, the Christmas burglar who got stuck in a chimney .As P.T.Barnum might say: Strange but True is a colossal compendium of crazy coincidences, peculiar people and astounding animals.

I read Time Life books as a kid. I loved the pictures and the material. I loved In Search Of as a kid. Mind you many of these are brief snap shots of stories. But I still love it.
