When he worked at a pot farm in California in 1993, the gonzo journalist David Holthouse heard the shocking story about a brutal triple murder in the vicinity. The main suspect was the giant ape Bigfoot, locally known as Sasquatch. A story so far out that Holthouse is still haunted by it today and decides to solve the bizarre mystery - by actually taking it seriously. The result is a terrific ‘deep dive’ into a grey zone of American folklore, stoner life and a very true crime that was never solved. Knowing full well that most people know Bigfoot from grainy photographs à la Loch Ness monster and flying saucers, Holthouse manages to sow a seed of doubt in his own sceptical mind – and possibly also in ours?
