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.
Paranormal investigator Zak Bagans has travelled all over the
world, seeking answers to life's deepest and most terrifying
mysteries. What happens when we die? Why do some spirits move on
while others remain stuck in some sort of in-between place? What do
the spirits really want from us? Zak has dedicated his life to
finding out the truth. He has bought a demon house in Indiana that
has been described as a 'portal to hell,' summoned the devil at the
Hellfire Club in Ireland, and been attacked by a possessed doll in
Mexico. But sometimes it's his interactions with the living that
rattle him the most, from innocent people harbouring evil spirits
to crazed fans to the victims of violent spirit attacks. Through
his investigations of the world's most haunted places, Zak has
learned far more about the living and the dead than anyone should.
He's been to the edge of death and back and come away with a
spiritual key that unlocks doors to another world that few have
ever seen. Come along for t
Chippeny Hill, located in the northeast corner of Bristol (then New
Cambridge), Harwinton and Plymouth has long been known as the home
of Tories. Tories in Revolutionary War times were those that
remained loyal to England, or were perhaps just fond of the
Anglican Church. The Puritans were a stern bunch and those of the
Church of England had songs to share, Christmas trees, feasts and
presents. Rev. Newell of the First Congregational Church of New
Cambridge said such things were of the devil. After the French and
Indian War, England needed to replenish its sorely depleted
treasury. England felt that since much of its expenditure was to
protect the American colonies from French incursion, it only seemed
right that the colonies should pay their share. The American
colonies did not agree and the beginnings of the Revolutionary War
struggles began. Those loyal to England gathered on Chippeny Hill.
Their stories are today's legends, ghosts and myths--the very
fabric of early Connecticut.

'People are emotionally drawn to the supernatural. They actively
want weird, spooky things to be true . . . Wiseman shows us a
higher joy as he deftly skewers the paranormal charlatans, blows
away the psychic fog and lets in the clear light of reason.'
Richard Dawkins Professor Richard Wiseman is clear about one thing:
paranormal phenomena don't exist. But in the same way that the
science of space travel transforms our everyday lives, so research
into telepathy, fortune-telling and out-of-body experiences
produces remarkable insights into our brains, behaviour and
beliefs. Paranormality embarks on a wild ghost chase into this new
science of the supernatural and is packed with activities that
allow you to experience the impossible. So throw away your

exploration into how fairies influenced everyone from Henry III to
Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. You will even learn the best ways to seek

'A major work ... an extraordinary tour de force, [this book] will
materially help to bring both sides (science and paranormal
studies) together in a way which could lead to real and important
advances in our view of the universe' - New Scientist First
published in 1978, Mysteries is the powerful and enlightening
sequel to The Occult, continuing Colin Wilson's investigations into
the paranormal, the occult and the supernatural. The experience of
his own panic attacks gave Wilson his insight into the concept of
the ladder or hierarchy of selves with which we are all associated.
In this book he fully explores this idea of multiple selves,
explaining how our lower, childish selves are linked to depression
and anxiety. The book offers an optimistic message to counteract
our contemporary tendency towards pessimism and nihilism:
purposeful activity will always allow us to call on our higher
selves and bring concentration, control and a sense of meaning into
life. Wilson uses the concept of the multi-personality to explain a
wide range of paranormal phenomenon, from dowsing and demonic
possession to precognition and spoon-bending, and he analyses the
work of all the big names in 20th-century supra-rational research
(from T C Lethbridge to Margaret Murray to Carl Jung) from this
perspective. The story ranges widely, from the stone circles to
1960s LSD adventures, and Wilson's analysis is woven with hundreds
of entertaining paranormal anecdotes and case studies taken from
throughout history, including his own experiences of dowsing at the
Merry Maidens stone circle and of visions and lucid dreaming.
Dowsing simply means searching for something by intuition. It's
widely regarded as being a psychic method of looking for water, but
it's so much more than that - you can dowse for everything from
lost objects to the self-knowledge hidden in your subconscious -
and this book will show you exactly how.All of us have intuition
but in this modern world we have become disconnected from this
ancient power. Uri Geller is famous around the world for his
intuitive, paranormal powers, which range from bending spoons to
astounding feats of dowsing, such as his location of huge offshore
oil field on behalf of Mexico's national oil company (for which he
was rewarded with Mexican citizenship). In this amazing book, he
guides you step by step through the hidden world of dowsing that he
knows so well. Simple exercises in the form of Uri mini-class
activities, and fun games such as crystal hide-and-seek, teach the
basic skills you need to dowse, whether you use divining rods, a
pendulum, a forked twig or just your hands. The book then explains
how to use these skills to find everything from lost objects to
water, fossils, archaeological remains and even hidden treasure!
Most importantly, Uri reveals how dowsing can help you unlock
submerged thoughts and knowledge and evaluate vital choices in
business, love and family life. Also including real-life case
studies of amazing dowsing events, stories of celebrity dowsers
through history and background explanation of the science of
dowsing, this is a super accessible and fun guide to the most
useful of the paranormal skills.

Supernatural elements are of central significance in many of
Shakespeare's plays, contributing to their dramatic power and
intrigue. Ghosts haunt political spaces and internal psyches,
witches foresee the future and disturb the present, fairies meddle
with love and a magus conjures a tempest from the elements.
Although written and performed for early modern audiences, for whom
the supernatural, whether sacred, demonic or folkloric, was part of
the fabric of everyday life, the supernatural in Shakespeare
continues to enthrall audiences and readers, and maintains its
power to raise a range of questions in contemporary contexts. This
edited collection of twelve essays from an international range of
contemporary Shakespeare scholars explores the supernatural in
Shakespeare from a variety of perspectives and approaches,
generating new knowledge and presenting hitherto unexplored avenues
of enquiry across the Shakespearean canon. -- .
Moncure Daniel Conway (1832 1907), the son of a Virginian
plantation-owner, became a Unitarian minister but his anti-slavery
views made him controversial. He later became a freethinker, and
following the outbreak of the Civil War, which deeply divided his
own family, he left the United States for England in 1863. He
gained a reputation for being the 'least orthodox preacher in
London', and was acquainted with many figures in the literary and
scientific world, including Charles Dickens and Charles Darwin. In
this two-volume work, first published in 1879, Conway draws from
examples across the world to discuss the origins and decline of
beliefs in demons. In Volume 1, he classifies types of demon and
argues that the various types are personifications of the main
obstacles to 'primitive man': he finds in mythology across the
world examples of animal demons and demons of hunger, fire and
disease.
A landmark new work in its field, The Greek Qabalah uses extensive
academic research to reach what some may consider to be a
controversial conclusion -- that the literal Hebrew Qabalah
actually has Greek origins. Drawn from a vast array of ancient
authorities and archaeological evidence -- from Aristotle to
Zosimus, from Pythagoras to St. Paul, from Egyptian papyri to
graffiti at Pompeii -- Kieren Barry carefully documents the use of
the alphabet in philosophy, religion, oracles, and magic in the
ancient world. He takes you on a journey through history, from the
dawn of the alphabet, to the late Byzantine Era, following the
continuous evolution of alphabetic symbolism from the
number-mysticism of Pythagoras, to the Greek philosophers, the
Egyptian magicians of Alexandria, the Romans, the Gnostics, the
early Church Fathers, the Neoplatonists, and the Jews. Special
attention is also given to the topical use of the Qabalah in the
Bible, Gnosticism, and in the recently discovered Nag Hammadi
Codices.
Also included are appendices containing tables of alphabetic
symbolism, a list of ancient authors, and a numerical dictionary of
several thousand Greek words, which represents the largest
collection of gematria or isopsephy yet available in print. The
Greek Qabalah is a revolutionary work that will be of enduring
interest to a wide range of readers, including students of ancient
history and early Christianity, Qabalists, and modern magicians,
for many years to come.
Fear Dat New Orleans explores the eccentric and often macabre dark
corners of America's most unique city. In addition to detailed
histories of bizarre burials, ghastly murders, and the greatest
concentration of haunted places in America, Fear Dat features a
"bone watcher's guide" with useful directions of who's buried
where, from Marie Laveau to Ruthie the Duck Girl. You'll also find
where to buy the most authentic gris-gris or to get the best
psychic reading. The Huffington Post tagged Michael Murphy's first
book Eat Dat, about the city's food culture, the #1 "essential"
book to read before coming to New Orleans. New Orleans Living
called it "both reverent and irreverent, he manages to bring a
sense of humor to serious eating-and that's what New Orleans is all
about." In Fear Dat, Murphy brings similar insights and irreverence
to New Orleans voodoo, vampires, graveyards, and ghosts.
Told with uncensored Southern wit and guidance, this inspirational
memoir "is a good primer on getting into the psychic realm"
(Booklist) and recounts the story of a Hollywood film executive who
journeys through the cosmic wilderness and, against all odds,
discovers psychic superpowers that radically transformed her life.
As a senior executive at one of the world's largest movie studios,
Julie Rieger spent her days marketing the imaginary stories of
ghosts, faeries, superheroes, aliens, and more fantastical
creatures. But after the devastating loss of her mother, the world
of make-believe became reality when Julie captured her first ghost
in a photograph and blew open a door to the Other Side. The Ghost
Photographer chronicles Julie's wild ride down the spiritual rabbit
hole. After a series of unexpected, mind-blowing, and sometimes
frightening encounters with the spirit realm, Julie was forced to
face this strange awakening, flying in the face of scientific dogma
and her own die-hard skepticism. Ultimately, she discovered that
what she thought she had lost with the death of her
mother-unconditional love-was in fact the greatest superpower one
can wield. "A hugely entertaining must-read for anyone who's ever
struggled with loss or wondered what might be beyond the veil of
our five senses" (Anita Moorjani, author of Dying To Be Me), The
Ghost Photographer offers insights into our relationship with the
spirit world, prayers and rituals for cleansing and protecting our
homes from unwanted ghosts, and guidance on how to develop our
intuition and sixth sense.
What if the tales from the Old Testament and other ancient
writings, such as those from Sumer, Babylon, Egypt, and Greece,
were not myths or allegory but accounts of actual historical
events? Known for his ability to read and interpret ancient
Sumerian and Akkadian clay tablets, Zecharia Sitchin (1920-2010)
took the words of our most ancient ancestors as fact and, through
decades of meticulous research, showed that they revealed a
coherent narrative about the true origins of humanity and
civilization. Drawing both widespread interest and criticism, his
Earth Chronicles series of books, beginning with The 12th Planet,
detailed how humanity arose after the arrival of the Anunnaki
("those who from Heaven to Earth came"), alien "gods" who created
modern man in their own image and imparted gifts of civilizing
knowledge. Each piece includes an introduction by Sitchin's niece,
offering context and insight into Sitchin's passionate work. These
introductions reveal the man behind the theories, a world traveller
known for his scholarship, dry humour, and precisely chosen words.
If his theories are true, as Sitchin wholeheartedly believed, then
this collection presents some of the most important knowledge we
have of our origins and future.
