Sunderland's proud history encompasses its beginnings as a major
centre of religious learning in the early medieval period and its
growth into a major port and shipbuilding centre on the mouth of
the River Wear. Today, the city and the surrounding Wearside area
is a major centre of car manufacturing and other industries in the
North East. In this book author Steve Watson investigates the rich
supernatural heritage of this city and the surrounding Wearside
area, not only the well-known phenomena but also lesser-known
hauntings from the past and present day, including ghostly
happenings at the North East Land Sea and Air Museum on the site of
an old airfield near Washington and mysterious sightings at the
Phoenix Lodge, the oldest purpose-built Masonic lodge in the world,
and many more. Paranormal Sunderland takes the reader into the
world of ghosts and spirits in the city, following their footsteps
into the unknown. These tales of haunted places, supernatural
happenings and weird phenomena will delight the ghost hunters and
intrigue everybody who knows Sunderland and Wearside.
The inspiration for the film The Dark Divide starring David Cross
and Debra Messing, one of America's most esteemed natural history
writers takes to the hills in search of Bigfoot-and finds the
wildness within ourselves. Awarded a Guggenheim Fellowship to
investigate the legends of Sasquatch, Yale-trained ecologist Dr.
Robert Pyle treks into the unprotected wilderness of the Dark
Divide near Mount St. Helens, where he discovers both a giant
fossil footprint and recent tracks. On the trail of what he thought
was legend, he searches out Indians who tell him of an outcast
tribe, the Seeahtiks, who had not fully evolved into humans. A
handful of open-minded biologists and anthropologists counter the
tabloids Pyle studies, while rogue Forest Service employees and
loggers swear of a vast conspiracy to deep-six true stories of
unknown, upright hominoid apes among us. He attends Sasquatch Daze,
where he meets scientists, hunters, and others who have devoted
their lives to the search, only to realize that "these guys don't
want to find Bigfoot they want to be Bigfoot!" Since its original
publication, the author's fresh experiences and finds have been
added to his original work through an updated chapter. With an
evaluation of recent DNA evidence from Bigfoot hair and scat, the
study of speech phonemes in the "Sierra Sounds" purported Bigfoot
recordings, an examination of the impact of the wildly popular
Animal Planet series Bigfoot Hunters, the reemergence of the famous
Bob Gimlin into the Bigfoot community, and more, Walking With
Bigfoot keeps every Bigfoot enthusiast's mind wide open to one of
the biggest questions in the land and brings Pyle's work on the
"legend" of Bigfoot into the new century.

Reveals how the number science found in ancient sacred monuments
reflects wisdom transmitted from the angelic orders * Explains how
the angels transmitted megalithic science to early humans to
further our conscious development * Decodes the angelic science
hidden in a wide range of monuments, including Carnac in Brittany,
the Great Pyramid in Egypt, early Christian pavements, the Hagia
Sophia in Istanbul, Stonehenge in England, and the Kaaba in Mecca *
Explores how the number science behind ancient monuments gave rise
to religions and spiritual practices The angelic mind is founded on
a deep understanding of number and the patterns they produce. These
patterns provided a constructive framework for all manifested life
on Earth. The beauty and elegance we see in sacred geometry and in
structures built according to those proportions are the language of
the angels still speaking to us. Examining the angelic science of
number first manifested on Earth in the Stone Age, Richard Heath
reveals how the resulting development of human consciousness was no
accident: just as the angels helped create the Earth's environment,
humans were then evolved to make the planet self-aware. To develop
human minds, the angels transmitted their own wisdom to humanity
through a numerical astronomy that counted planetary and lunar time
periods. Heath explores how this early humanity developed an expert
understanding of sacred number through astronomical geometries,
leading to the unified range of measures employed in their
observatories and later in cosmological monuments such as the Giza
Pyramids and Stonehenge. The ancient Near East transformed
megalithic science into our own mathematics of notational
arithmetic and trigonometry, further developing the human mind
within the early civilizations. Heath decodes the angelic science
hidden within a wide range of monuments and sites, including Carnac
in Brittany, the Great Pyramid in Egypt, Teotihuacan in Mexico,
early Christian pavements, the Hagia Sophia in Istanbul, and the
Kaaba in Mecca. Exploring the techniques used to design these
monuments, he explains how the number science behind them gave rise
to ancient religions and spiritual practices. He also explores the
importance of lunar astronomy, first in defining a world suitable
for life and then in providing a subject accessible to
pre-arithmetic humans, for whom the Moon was a constant companion.
A look inside the hospitals, asylums, and sanatoriums in which
formal spectral residents refuse to move on. Hospitals are supposed
to be places of healing, places of birth, and places of hope. But
with all of the varying highs and lows that are experienced in
these buildings, is it any wonder when echoes linger indefinitely?
How about asylums, which house some of society’s worst offenders
and troubled inmates, or sanatoriums, places where the mentally and
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.
