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

What happens after a person's physical death? Can a person's soul incarnate again - and if so, under which circumstances and with what goal? How did the knowledge about life after death, about karma and reincarnation, disappear from the Christian western world? Feelings and thoughts, vague inklings, have been raised by mankind since the beginning of time, on the "wherefrom" and the "whereto," the "whys" and "what fors." The suppression of the knowledge of reincarnation brings with it devastating consequences: if we knew that we would be coming back, would we be so careless about how we treat our Mother Earth and the life on it?

"Superb survey of the paranormal ... I cannot recommend it highly enough." - New York Times bestselling author Herbie Brennan This is the most entertaining and broad survey of the paranormal ever made, combining forgotten lore, evidence from parapsychological experiments and the testament of scientists, archaeologists, anthropologists, psychologists, physicists and philosophers, and also quite a few celebrities. Exploring the possibility that paranormal phenomena may be - and that some most likely are - objectively real, this travelogue through the twilight zone of human consciousness is both scientifically rigorous and extremely entertaining. Readers may be surprised to learn that reputable scientists, among them several Nobel laureates, have claimed that telepathy is a reality, that Cleopatra's lost palace and Richard III's burial place were recovered by means of clairvoyance, and that an espionage program using psychics was set up by the US military! The author proposes that all humans (perhaps all living beings) are linked together in a sort of "mental internet" that allows us to exchange "telepathic emails" and make clairvoyant downloads of information. Could it be that what we usually call "supernatural" is a natural but little understood communication via this mental internet? An engaging, entertaining and informative analysis of a controversial subject, in which these phenomena are approached as potential expressions of unexplained powers of the human mind.

An entirely channeled book of messages from The Council, a group of ascended master beings, that communicate to us that we have the power to be the Creators of our lives. The Wisdom of the Council is an entirely channeled book of messages by The Council, a group of ascended master beings. Their messages are both empowering and gentle, and guide you towards ascending to a new level of consciousness, stepping into the greatest version of you, and recognizing that you have the ability to create your own Heaven on Earth-a new way of perceiving your human experience. The Council assures us that we have the power to be the Creators of our lives.

The Council encourages us to expand our consciousness and awareness so we can go beyond our thinking mind. Only then can we expand our potential, come into alignment with who we truly are, manifest from a place of wholeness rather than lack, and ultimately live out our destiny.
