BAT BOY LIVES! by David Perel & The Editors of the The Weekly World News
Once again the YOU NEVER KNOW theme can be found in books. BAT BOY LIVES!: WEEKLY WORLD NEWS GUIDE TO POLITICS, CULTURE, CELEBRITIES, ALIEN ABDUCTIONS, AND THE MUTANT FREAKS THAT SHAPE OUR WORLD is a compilation of stories from The Weekly World News. This newspaper was begun in 1979 and is committed to bringing the truth, from aliens to things that happen on your street.
Some of the stories selected are bizarre, like the woman with built-in high heels or the three-legged model. If you prefer animals, there is a blabbermouth parrot at a divorce trial. You will also find the usual, Elvis Presley sighting and a story about Richard Nixon’s ghost wandering the White House. Let’s not forget Bat Boy. He was found in a cave in West Virginia. Bat Boy stands two feet tall and weighs 19 pounds. The scientists who found him in 1992 thought he was 3 or 4 years old. As I said before, these are the bizarre truths of The Weekly World News.
But the really strange items are the photographs. Are they real? Some may be, but only you can decide.
THIS BOOK IS RECOMMENDED FOR ANYONE OVER 14 WHO WANTED TO LOOK AT THOSE STRANGE NEWSPAPERS WHILE WAITING WITH YOUR MOM ON THE CHECKOUT LINE AT THE SUPERMARKET.
