Wales is said to be the most haunted country in the world, and its
capital city is no exception. Cardiff has been at the heart of many
of the country’s defining historical events, from bloody clashes
with invading armies to ecstatic moments of sporting jubilation,
and the ghosts connected to these occasions do not rest easy.
Paranormal Cardiff takes the reader on a spine-chilling journey to
dozens of supposedly haunted locations, which range from well-known
tourist destinations to more secluded spots off the beaten track,
each with its own eerie tale to tell. These include: the haunted
theatre where stars of the past continue to tread the boards, a
vengeful eagle that protects a fairy-tale castle from thieves, the
fashionable manor house plagued by a daily supernatural visitor,
the ‘cursed’ changing room in the national sports stadium, and
the spooky streets of Llandaff, which inspired the twisted
imagination of a young Roald Dahl. Paranormal Cardiff takes the
reader into the world of ghosts and spirits in the city and the
surrounding area, following their footsteps into the unknown. These
tales of haunted places, supernatural happenings and weird
phenomena will delight the ghost hunters, and fascinate and
intrigue everybody who knows Cardiff.

A Must-Have Guide for Investigating the Paranormal
Have inexplicable spheres and fogs ever ruined any of your
photographs? If you discarded them, thinking dirt on the lens or
camera glitches were to blame, you may want to retrieve them and
reconsider. These spheres and fogs may be paranormal light
forms.
Light forms are mentioned in literature on angels, aliens, UFOs,
ghosts, crop circles, near-death experiences, inter-dimensional
beings, magick, and thought forms. Hypnotized subjects describe the
lights as the forms we become between lives on Earth.
This entertaining book examines the many theories about what
these energies may be and presents evidence throughout history that
confirms their existence.

An exploration of contemporary trance and physical mediumship at a
private spiritualist home-circle called the Bristol Spirit Lodge.
Located in a garden on the outskirts of Bristol, the Lodge is a
wooden shed specially constructed for the purposes of mediumship
development and spirit communication. Through a combination of
ethnographic observations in séances – including his own
experiences of mediumship development – and interviews with
spirits and their mediums, Hunter delves into a sub-urban world of
trance states, ectoplasm, spirit lights and discarnate entities.
Issues relating to altered states of consciousness, personhood,
performance and the efficacy of ritual are examined in order to
make sense of the processes by which spirits become manifest in
social reality.  A large part of Manifesting
Spirits is given over to a broader discussion of
anthropology's evolving attitudes toward the 'paranormal' as a
component of the 'life-worlds' of many people across the globe, and
argues for the development of a non-reductive anthropological
approach to the paranormal, and mediumship in particular. This
emerging framework – referred to as 'ontological flooding' does
not attempt to explain away the existence of spirits in terms of
functional, cognitive or pathological theories (as most mainstream
theorists tend to do), but rather embraces a processual perspective
that emphasises complexity and multiple interconnected processes
underlying spirit possession performances and 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.

physically ill find themselves trapped, even after death? Journey
inside the history of these macabre settings and learn about the
horrors from the past that live on in these frighteningly eerie
tales from Canada, the United States, and around the world.

change. "The Road of Transition" will teach the reader "How to Make
the Transition for Happiness, Peace and Prosperity."
