The original THE BIBLE CODE - a phenomenal bestseller across the
world For 3000 years a code in the Bible has remained hidden. Now
it has been unlocked by computer - and it may reveal our future.
The code, broken by an Israeli mathematician, foretells events that
happened thousands of years after the Bible was written. It foresaw
both Kennedy assassinations, the Oklahoma bombing - everything from
World War II to Watergate, from the Holocaust to the Moon landing.
Published to a frenzy of media attention, THE BIBLE CODE became a
Number One bestseller.
This is the truth about demons and demonology - in more than 400
entries. The conflict between good and evil can be found in every
culture, mythical tradition, and religion throughout history. In
many cases, the source of evil has been personified as demons or
devils, and in many belief systems, both are considered to be real
entities operating outside the boundaries of the physical world to
torment people or lead them astray. In some traditions demons are
believed to be the direct opposite of angels, working against the
forces of good and challenging them. Real or not, demons are at the
heart of many fascinating beliefs and traditions, several of which
are widely held today. ""The Encyclopedia of Demons and
Demonology"" explores this dark aspect of folklore and religion and
the role that demons play in the modern world. This comprehensive
resource presents more than 400 entries and more than 80
black-and-white photographs documenting beliefs about demons and
demonology from ancient history to the present. The key topics
covered include: Demons in different cultural and religious
traditions; Demons in folklore and popular culture; Exorcism and
other means of confronting demons; Historical cases of possession
and demon activity; The history of demonology; Magic and
witchcraft; Possession and other demonic phenomena; Modern-day
demonologists and exorcists; Strange creatures and entities related
to demons; and, Types of demons.

Lincolnshire has many well-known stories of the supernatural, among
the best known of which is that of the Lincoln Imp. In this book
author Daniel J. Codd explores the supernatural lore of
Lincolnshire. It includes all manner of phenomena, from forgotten
poltergeist incidents and village miracles to recent allegations of
werewolf and yeti-type creatures seen in the wilds of Lincolnshire.
There are many hitherto unpublished accounts such as reports of the
ghost of a small man who appeared to builders renovating a house in
Lincoln; a ghostly lady who approached a house in Skellingthorpe
(whereupon previously unnoticed footprints were found in concrete
outside the door); and a phantom Second World War soldier who
crossed a road leading to his old house in Lincoln. There are also
stories of UFOs, two tall humanoid figures seen crossing wasteland,
monkeys and panthers running wild, and a smoky cross that allegedly
appears outside Scunthorpe's hospital when someone is about to die.
Paranormal Lincolnshire takes the reader into the world of ghosts,
spirits and poltergeists in the county, following their footsteps
into the unknown. It captures the spectrum of ghosts, haunted
places, UFOs, strange creatures and weird phenomena reported across
the county, old and new. These tales will delight ghost hunters and
fascinate and intrigue everybody who knows Lincolnshire.
