The first in a series, Bonnie Geyer Florek brings you Totally
Haunted USA Williamsburg, Virginia is believed to be one of the
most haunted towns in America. Some people believe in ghosts, some
do not. There have been many skeptics who have become believers
after attending a Spooks and Legends Haunted Tour, however. Ghosts
have been seen and heard by guests and the presence of spirits have
often been felt. Just one visit to the Peyton Randolph House has
made believers of previous skeptics. A determined knocking is often
heard coming from the inside of the front door. The doorknob
rattles loudly and persistently as guests stand listening to true
stories originating from within those very walls. And what about
the side door slamming shut so hard that it makes you jump back a
few steps? These are just some of the goings on in town.....sights
that can be seen and sounds that resonate within your mind, long
after you have returned home. The George Wythe House is no
exception where haunts are concerned. Just stare at those windows
and see the inside shutters open and close before your very eyes,
though no one is inside the house. No living souls, that is. These
are only a few of the many ghostly experiences encountered in the
town of Williamsburg. To hear of more excitement, read on and then
come and visit us for a one of a kind, ghostly tour. You will never
forget nor will you want your ghost-loving friends to miss this.
Enjoy *Read Bonnie's other series, Totally Haunted UK, based on
researched ghost stories in England.

The untold account of the countless Americans who believe in, or
personally experience, paranormal phenomena such as ghosts,
Bigfoot, UFOs and psychics Given the popularity of television shows
such as Finding Bigfoot, Ghost Hunters, Supernatural, and American
Horror Story, there seems to be an insatiable public hunger for
mystical happenings. But who believes in the paranormal? Based on
extensive research and their own unique personal experiences,
Christopher Bader, Joseph Baker and Carson Mencken reveal that a
significant number of Americans hold these beliefs, and that for
better or worse, we undoubtedly live in a paranormal America.
Readers will join the authors as they participate in psychic and
palm readings, and have their auras photographed, join a Bigfoot
hunt, follow a group of celebrity ghost hunters as they investigate
claims of a haunted classroom, and visit a support group for alien
abductees. The second edition includes new and updated research
based on findings from the Baylor Religion survey regarding
America's relationship with the paranormal. Drawing on these
diverse and compelling sources of data, the book offers an engaging
account of the social, personal, and statistical stories of
American paranormal beliefs and experiences. It examines topics
such as the popularity of paranormal beliefs in the United States,
the ways in which these beliefs relate to each other, whether
paranormal beliefs will give rise to a new religion, and how
believers in the paranormal differ from "average" Americans.
Brimming with fascinating anecdotes and provocative new findings,
Paranormal America offers an entertaining yet authoritative
examination of a growing segment of American religious culture.
"Find your one true love and live happily ever after." The trials
of love and desire provide perennial story material, from the
Biblical Song of Songs to Disney's princesses, but perhaps most
provocatively in the romance novel, a genre known for tales of
fantasy and desire, sex and pleasure. Hailed on the one hand for
its women-centered stories that can be sexually liberating, and
criticized on the other for its emphasis on male/female coupling
and mythical happy endings, romance fiction is a multi-million
dollar publishing phenomenon, creating national and international
societies of enthusiasts, practitioners, and scholars. Catherine M.
Roach, alongside her romance-writer alter-ego, Catherine LaRoche,
guides the reader deep into Romancelandia where the smart and the
witty combine with the sexy and seductive to explore why this genre
has such a grip on readers and what we can learn from the romance
novel about the nature of happiness, love, sex, and desire in
American popular culture.
The book, The Earth all about Earthquakes and Volcanoes, Mountains,
Oceans, etc. Hence dear readers, grab the book as soon as you can,
for it's a treasure trove of knowledge and information, which you
can use it as a reference material for academic studies or extra
curricular activities. Happy Reading and Learning!
