In 1775 Cherokee leaders sold most of Tennessee and Kentucky to the recently arrived white settlers, but Dragging Canoe, a proud chief, said that the sacred land should not be defiled by the white man's ax and plow. "This is the Dark and Bloody Ground " he proclaimed to the assembled chiefs.

Perhaps it is the abundance of decaying mansions that harbor dark and sinister secrets, or perhaps it is Tennessee's tragic heritage of war and defeat, or it may just be the love of a good story that accounts for the fact that Tennessee is steeped in strange tales. Each of these 40 accounts has been exhaustively researched and is presented as accurately as possible, inclulding:

• The day in 1877 when it rained foot-long snakes in Memphis
• The arch rivals who are buried in the state capitol building; on quiet nights one can still hear them arguing
• Elvis's ghost, who visits Graceland in the early morning in his black limousine
• The mathematics professor from the University of Nashville who suddenly burst into flames
• Andrew Jackson's encounter with the infamous Bell Witch
• The vampire found in Bradley County, with a wooden stake through her heart
• The day a UFO buzzed Huntsville, Chattanooga, and Knoxville

Upton Sinclair is primarily known as the Pulitzer Prize-winning author of The Jungle, Oil, and Dragon's Teeth, anD as a fiery advocate of social justice and reform. Few know, however, of Sinclair's deep interest in, and connection to, psychic research.

Sinclair's own wife, Mary Craig Kimbrough, claimed to have "mind reading" or telepathic abilities, and asked Sinclair to help her better understand these abilities. He devised a fascinating series of 300 tests that incontrovertibly proved the reality of telepathy while revealing the vast, untold powers of the mind.

In one room, Sinclair would make a drawing and place it into a sealed envelope, while in another, Mary would "tune in," retrieve the image, and make her own copy. Or she would record a telepathic message sent from someone far away. Her accuracy rate was astonishing, leaving no room for random chance as an explanation, as they continued to collect scientific data over three years.

In Mental Radio, Sinclair describes remarkable experiments, comparing telepathy to radio broadcasting, with one brain sending out a "vibration" and another picking it up. The results convinced Sinclair that telepathy is real, that it is unaffected by distance, that it can be cultivated, trained and--most importantly--can be verified and studied scientifically.

For the first time in many years, here is the complete text of Mental Radio, including Mary Craig Kimbrough's well-tested instructions on how to learn the "art of conscious mind-reading." Here is the classic book that impressed Albert Einstein who, in his preface to Mental Radio, praises Sinclair for being a conscientious observer and writer and for his good faith and dependability in reporting paranormal research. William McDougall, known as the "Dean of American Psychology" at the time, was so inspired by Sinclairs' work that he established the parapsychology department at Duke University, which went on to become, for a time, the country's premier paranormal research institution.

After our schooling is completed on this planet we will journey onward to discover new worlds to explore.

In his first and now classic book, Out-of-Body Experiences: How to Have Them and What to Expect, Robert Peterson taught us the mechanics of out-of-body travel. In Lessons Out of the Body, he describes how we can benefit from those experiences.

According to Peterson, who has been an avid out-of-body traveler for more than 20 years, OBEs help us learn important spiritual lessons and achieve greater happiness and self-awareness. They do so by allowing us to experience life from a unique, nonphysical perspective. To prove his point, he provides personal examples of what OBEs have taught him about love, dying, and even finding his soulmate. After explaining how OBEs differ from alien abductions, lucid dreams, and near-death experiences, Peterson teaches us to embark on out-of-body travels with a deeper purpose--that of learning, growing, and adventuring on a spiritual, as well as a physical, level. Finally, he includes tips for inducing OBEs, a troubleshooting guide, and a question-and-answer section.

Do you believe someone can read your mind? Lior Suchard can. He can delve into your innermost thoughts, and know what you are going to say even before you do. His outstanding performances of mind reading, thought influencing, predicting and telekinesis have earned him international acclaim as a top class supernatural entertainer and mentalist. Suchard was born in Tel Aviv, the youngest of three sons. At seven years old, he first realized he had an extraordinary mental power. His two older brothers served as guinea pigs as he explored his abilities, and he'd ask them to think of numbers or have hide small objects in their hands and have him guess in which hand. In high school, a math teacher, aware of what Suchard could do, made a deal with him, giving him five minutes at the end of every class to demonstrate what he could do. Lior would ask him to think of a formula, which he would write down in his notebook. Then the teacher would write it on the board and it would be the same. Suchard graduated from high school and completed the mandatory three years in the Israeli army, where they made good use of his skills. Suchard gained worldwide recognition after winning the international competition show "The Successor" to officially take over for celebrated mystifier Uri Geller. Now 27, Suchard is a world renowned supernatural entertainer and mentalist with an extraordinary talent for mind reading, thought influencing and telekinesis. He takes you on an incredible journey through the wonders of the human brain.
