'A grisly treat' Financial Times on the podcast Based on the
'world's spookiest podcast' of the same name comes Unexplained: a
book of ten real-life mysteries which might be best left
unexplained. . . ******************************* What can a case of
demonic possession in 1970's Germany teach us about free will? What
might we learn about how we construct reality from the case of a
poltergeist in the Fens? And what can a supposed instance of
reincarnation in Middlesbrough tell us about how we develop a
concept of the self? Taking incidents once thought of as
supernatural or paranormal and questioning whether radical ideas in
science might provide a new but equally extraordinary explanation,
Unexplained asks what real-life unexplained events can reveal of
our unique human experience. 'These mysteries are all the creepier
for being true' Tatler
When Ghosts Talk, the Living Should Listen
Based on over twenty-five years of spirit communications and
thousands of professional readings, the world-famous medium James
Van Praagh shares with readers the amazing stories of ghosts and
spirits, their personal regrets, misgivings, remorse, and, most
important, advice for the living from those who have passed away.
These spirits have a great deal to say about what they have learned
and discovered on the other side and how we, the living, can
benefit from their experiences.
'Wow! [This book] has it all - a terrific new character, devious
twists, plenty of action and one hell of an ending' JONATHAN
MABERRY, New York Times bestselling author of Ink and Rage Angels
walk among us, but so do other unearthly beings in this brand-new
series by the international bestselling author of the Anita Blake
and Merry Gentry series. Meet Detective Zaniel Havelock, a man with
the special ability to communicate directly with angels. A former
trained Angel speaker, he devoted his life to serving both the
celestial beings and his fellow humans with his gift, but a
terrible betrayal compelled him to leave that life behind. Now he's
a cop who is still working on the side of angels. But where there
are angels, there are also demons. There's no question that there's
evil at work when he's called in to examine the murder scene of a
college student - but is it just the evil that one human being can
do to another, or is it something more? When demonic possession is
a possibility, even angelic protection can only go so far. Now the
race is on to stop a killer before he finds his next victim, as
Zaniel is forced to confront his own very personal demons, and the
past he never truly left behind.
Almost two decades after writing his famous The Occult, Colin
Wilson re-examined the whole spectrum of the mystical and
paranormal, producing a general occult theory that remains as
compelling as the evidence of atomic particles. Originally
published in 1988, Beyond the Occult contains a huge amount of new
material and evidence, which came to light following publication of
The Occult. It combines scientific thinking on the nature of
physical reality with a wide range of fascinating case studies,
from the Swiss dowser who located the body of a missing woman to
the lucky American whose dreams foretold the winning horses in
multiple races to scores of accounts of mystical experiences of the
Divine, of spirit possession and of poltergeists. Part One covers
the amazing hidden powers of the human mind: ESP, clairvoyance,
psychometry, precognition, psychokinesis, and dowsing. Part Two
considers the more mysterious forces for good or evil -
poltergeists, spirit possession, and reincarnation - that convinced
Colin Wilson of the reality of disembodied spirits. In Beyond the
Occult, Colin Wilson puts forward a convincing case that our
so-called 'normal' experience may, in fact, be subnormal, and that
evolution may have brought us near the edge of a quantum leap into
a hugely expanded human consciousness. This new edition includes a
foreword by Colin Wilson's biographer, Colin Stanley.
A book discussing the work of leading paranormal investigator Jayne
Harris and her studies into haunted objects.
Two controversial authors debate the nature and methods of science,
its dogmas, and its future. Rupert Sheldrake argues that science
needs to free itself from materialist dogma while Michael Shermer
contends that science, properly conceived, is a materialistic
enterprise; for science to look beyond materialist explanations is
to betray science and engage in superstition. Issues discussed
include: materialism and its role in science, whether belief in God
is compatible with a scientific perspective, and parapsychology.
Michael Shermer is Editor-in-Chief of "Skeptic "magazine and the
author of numerous books including "Skeptic."Rupert Sheldrake is a
biologist and author of ten books including his most recent,
"Science Set Free," which challenges scientific dogma.
