It's no surprise that the historic Massachusetts seaport's history
is checkered with violence and heinous crimes. Originally called
Naumkeag, Salem means "peace." However, as its historical legacy
dictates, the city was anything but peaceful during the late
seventeenth century. Did the reputed Boston Strangler, Albert
DeSalvo, strike in Salem? Evidence supports the possibility of a
copy-cat murder. From the recently pinpointed gallows where
innocents were hanged for witchcraft to the murder house on Essex
Street where Capt. Joseph White was bludgeoned to death and then
stabbed thirteen times in the heart, Sam Baltrusis explores the
ghost lore and the people behind the tragic events that turned the
"Witch City" into a hot spot that has become synonymous with
witches, rakes, and rogues.

Maryland, with its role in the War of 1812 and the Civil War, is a
ghost-hunter's dream. This handy guide divides the state into six
regions, and profiles the best destinations in each. The USF
Constellation boasts three ghosts, including a sailor executed for
dereliction of duty; the Gridiron Club is haunted by an old woman
kidnapped and murdered by her slaves; Ellicott City is considered
the most haunted town in America, with an embarrassment of spooks
to choose from. These are just a few of the exciting places
profiled in this unusual guidebook.
Rosemary Ellen Guiley is a renowned expert on paranormal,
visionary, and spiritual topics. She puts her expertise to use in
this guide to the scariest sites in the Keystone State. Each
destination includes a detailed description and photographs so
readers may test their own ghosthunting skills or visit from the
safety of their armchairs. Firsthand accounts of otherworldly
encounters bring the spooks into view, while a Ghostly Resources
section points ghosthunters to further information.
The Lone Star State is so vast it includes just about everything --
including ghosts! This guide is divided into regions to make it
easy to find the phantoms. North Texas offers such creepy
destinations as the Old Alton Bridge and Miss Molly's Bed &
Breakfast. West Texas spooks haunt the Permia Playhouse and
Historic Fort Davis. In Central Texas, they've been spotted
terrorizing the Driskill Hotel and the Austin Pizza Garden. More
than 50 spooky sites are here, along with detailed maps and
photographs of each haunted locale.
Virginia and the District of Columbia are fertile ground for
serious and casual ghosthunters alike and have no shortage of
venues for paranormal investigation -- if visitors know where to
look. Author Michael J. Varhola has spared no efforts to make
"Ghosthunting Virginia" as useful a resource as possible for those
interested in visiting haunted sites as he leads readers on a
guided tour of the most haunted sites in the Old Dominion and the
nation's capital. A great many of these sites have some connection
to the Colonial era or to the Civil War, two defining elements in
the history of the region. Battlefields, cemeteries, tunnels,
caves, bridges, haunted highways, inns and taverns, lighthouses,
theatres, haunted cities like historic Winchester, Colonial
Williamsburg, and Washington, D.C., and all manner of other eerie
locales can be found in this novel and informative travel guide!
It's also perfect late-night reading for anyone who loves a good
ghost story.

This fascinating work begins with a scientific appraisal of time
and its relationship with 3D space. It explains in clear,
understandable language, the complex theories of such famous men as
Newton, Einstein, and Stephen Hawking. Is time infinite, or does it
have a beginning and an end? Do Black Holes and White Vortices
distort time, or penetrate it? The authors also analyse and
evaluate puzzling, well documented reports of time travel and
reincarnation, and strange cases of deja vu. Can time travel
account for such anachronistic discoveries as a 20th century
sparkplug found encased among fossils half a million years old?
Finally, the authors bring all the unsolved time-related mysteries
together in a unified field theory that suggests an awesome answer
to the mysteries of time-travel and reincarnation.
When did you last have a psychic experience? Are you in the
habit of seeing or sensing the presence of spirits and ghost? Have
you ever spotted a lake monster or sighted a UFO? When did you last
consult a fortune-teller, approach a medium work an Ouija board, or
read an astrology column? Have you ever had a premonition that some
odd event would occur, and then witnessed it actually occurring?
Did you ever experience a sense of "deja vu" or a moment of pure
bliss?
"Extraordinary Experiences: Personal Accounts of the Paranormal
in Canada" is a collection of over seventy short yet curiously
gripping accounts of experiences and events that may be regarded as
abnormal or paranormal. Colombo has collected highly readable
accounts of unusual experiences from the past and the present. The
supernatural practices of the Indians of the 18th and 19th
centuries are described by Samuel Hearne and Paul Kane. From the
turn of the century come accounts of "crisis apparitions,"
poltergeists, and haunted houses, as reported by spiritualists and
other observers. But the majority of the personal narratives derive
from letters sent to the editor in response to his requests
featured in daily newspapers across the country, for first-hand
accounts of the supernatural and the paranormal. Over one hundred
readers responded; here are some of there responses...
"Extraordinary Experiences" is an extraordinary reading
experience. No book quite like it has ever before appeared in
Canada. "
Among the most profound questions we confront are the nature of
what and who we are as conscious beings, and how the human mind
relates to the rest of what we consider reality. For millennia,
philosophers, scientists, and religious thinkers have attempted
answers, perhaps none more meaningful today than those offered by
neuroscience and by Buddhism. The encounter between these two
worldviews has spurred ongoing conversations about what science and
Buddhism can teach each other about mind and reality. In Mind
Beyond Brain, the neuroscientist David E. Presti, with the
assistance of other distinguished researchers, explores how
evidence for anomalous phenomena-such as near-death experiences,
apparent memories of past lives, apparitions, experiences
associated with death, and other so-called psi or paranormal
phenomena, including telepathy, clairvoyance, and precognition-can
influence the Buddhism-science conversation. Presti describes the
extensive but frequently unacknowledged history of scientific
investigation into these phenomena, demonstrating its relevance to
questions about consciousness and reality. The new perspectives
opened up, if we are willing to take evidence of such often
off-limits topics seriously, offer significant challenges to
dominant explanatory paradigms and raise the prospect that we may
be poised for truly revolutionary developments in the scientific
investigation of mind. Mind Beyond Brain represents the next level
in the science and Buddhism dialogue.
