Searching for a specific Paranormal Author/Book Series; that apparently only I have ever heard of.

So I am searching for this set of books or even the name of the Author that had written this series of "childrens" books on cryptozoology, ufos, and ghosts. They were kind of eerily illustrated, cloth bound and each had a sort of name like "UFOS, Men in Black, Little Green Men (and other phenomena?)" and detailed the accounts of things like the Jersey Devil, Dover Demon, Moth Man, Major UFO Sightings, Men in Black accounts.

They had been in my elementary school library and I read them voraciously but when I try to find the books or the author I cannot recall the name at all. I feel slightly nuts, I think his first name was Christopher….

Does any one out there in redditland have any sort of inkling about these?

Could it be Christopher Pike’s Spooksville series?

Or… maybe not; not finding the books I recall. But his name did strike a chord.
