The Killingworth Bogman William Mitchell

'The Killingworth Bogman' collects the works of Will McCrea Jr, who's life was spent trying to prove the existence of the preternatural creature until his untimely death. William Mitchell collects in this volume McCrea's writings, journals, and photography, which trace the Killingworth Bogman from his original death in 1666 to today. Preserved in the preternatural bogs, a victim of an Indian tobacco curse, the bogman rises from the mire every hundred years, from his original death in 1666 to today, to terrorize the picturesque New England town of Killingworth, Connecticut. McCrea's works, somewhere between fabrication and revelation, are presented along with William Joseph's The 'Tobacco Geist of the Carolinas' and an introduction and critical essay by Bensa Magos.
