A NEW YORK TIMES PICK FOR TOP 22 NONFICTION BOOKS TO READ THIS FALL ! \;
\nStanley Milford Jr. grew up in a world where the supernat
ural was both expected and taboo\, where shapeshifters roamed\, witchcraft
was a thing to be feared\, and children were taught not to whistle at nig
ht. \; \;
When he joined the fabled Navajo Rangers&mdash\;a l
aw enforcement branch of the Navajo Nation who are equal parts police offi
cers\, archeological conservationists\, and historians&mdash\;the paranorm
al became part of his job. Alongside addressing the mundane duties of over
seeing the massive 27\,000-square-mile reservation\, Milford was assigned
to utterly bizarre and shockingly frequent cases involving mysterious live
stock mutilations\, skinwalker and Bigfoot sightings\, UFOs\, and maliciou
s hauntings. \;
In The Paranormal Ranger\, Milford recounts th
e stories of these cases from the clinical and deductive perspective of a
law enforcement officer. Milford&rsquo\;s Native American worldview and in
vestigative training collide to provide an eerie account of what logic dic
tates should not be possible. \;
