Join Tobias and Emily Wayland as they take you on a journey into the darkest part of the year. Winter has always been a time of magic, monsters, and legendary figures; their stories told and retold across generations. But what if there was something more? Some authentic human experience that inspired these stories, so often told around fires built as much to drive back the shadows as provide warmth?
In this book, the Waylands look at Christmas legends and compare them to modern anomalous phenomena to see what similarities exist. From Sheepsquatch to Santa Claus, The Singular Fortean Society’s Yuletide Guide to High Strangeness covers a wide variety of reported sightings that might represent a startling truth behind the stories we tell...
Join author and investigator Tobias Wayland as he explores unusual phenomena and the commonalities that connect them. From cryptids to UFOs to ghosts and even stranger subjects, he has collected a wide variety of paranormal experiences for your perusal taken directly from The Singular Fortean Society’s case files. Common wisdom would have us believe that these experiences only exist independently of each other, but the narrative similarities seen throughout are undeniable. Take a journey into the heart of high strangeness with Wayland as he investigates the impossible in search of answers to these mysteries which can no longer be contained within the boxes created to separate them.
“Throughout his work, Tobias Wayland has been what I refer to as “the thinking person’s Fortean”—full of wonder, but hesitant to jump to conclusions. This refreshing blend of openness and actual (i.e. not reductive) skepticism first seen in his LAKE MICHIGAN MOTHMAN continues here, with a variety of stories that satisfy both serious researchers and armchair enthusiasts alike. This should be on the shelf of every paranormal enthusiast.”

Miscellaneous Media
This book represents over two years of research by a dedicated team of investigators who have taken dozens of reports of a weird, winged humanoid seen around Lake Michigan. Author and investigator Tobias Wayland has collected these reports for the first time in one volume, along with his analysis and insider perspective as a member of the investigative team. The phenomena described within represent the continuation of a decades-long series of events first recorded in Point Pleasant, West Virginia, in the late '60s, but that has likely been with humanity since our advent, and seems just as likely to be with us until our end.
* Paperback and Kindle Versions are available on Amazon.
“Packed full of eye witness accounts and testimony, thorough and in-depth research, and a healthy dose of classic Fortean elements which would make John Keel smile in appreciation, ‘The Lake Michigan Mothman’ is a book which can (and will) be appreciated by a wide range of individuals for a long time to come.

“Tobias’ openness with how his research was conducted should be a new standard among books of this nature.”
“It’s a story told by a man with a good handle on atmospheric writing; someone who knows how to conduct an investigation, and who kept his head on his shoulders at all times...”
“Tobias is an excellent writer who takes us deep into the ins and outs of not just the sightings of the Lake Michigan Mothman, but also the research, and legwork that he put into following up on reports.”
