Mysterious America is a book. You can get it from Amazon.com if your local bookseller doesn’t have it.
But, honestly, I’d go for one of Loren and Jerome Clark’s compediums on Fortean phenomenon.
I loved Mysterious America when I was a kid, and maybe it is just my time with it and having read all those stories over and over again, but if you already have some knowledge of Forteana, then it is a bit elementary (no offence Loren!)
If you are brand new to Fortean literature though, give it a read, then dig a little deeper. If Loren hasn’t written a book on what you are looking for, I’m sure Jerome Clark or someone else has.

Happy Mother’s day….I’m also reading MA and find it well written and interesting…JMHO

Best guess…like fire ants….gators have been crawling northward….they are “protected” in southern Oklahoma…

seeing is believing….

I am a little new here to the blog where can I get Loren’s Mysterious America I have never seen on a mag rack here in Indiana. Or is it a Book??
Please someone let me know.

Coincidentally, I am currently reading about the para-powerful “Bridgewater Triangle” in my new copy of Loren’s “Mysterious America”.

I grew up in nearby Providence, and remember hearing stories about all kinds of strange incidents ocurring in the ponds, lakes and interconnected creeks, streams and rivers thruout R.I. and Mass as a kid.

My brother once caught a snarling, hissing and thrashing 10-foot black eel while fishing in a small pond in South Providence’s Roger Williams Park!

Another time a fisherfriend, using salt water gear, hooked a giant something in another of the Park’s ponds, and after a half hour battle to get it close to shore, saw a scaly green thing as big as a rowboat roll on the surface… and break the line.

Probably a large carp… but they didn’t think so!
