This book presents the most extensive and well-documented
examination of this incredible phenomenon. It includes more than 75
colour and B&W photographs. This volume is the first and most
extensive examination of what is known as the 'Orb phenomenon' -
where photographs show extraordinary images of glowing orbs and
other amazing light forms, when such objects were not present at
the taking of the picture. "Beyond Photography" is the fullest
personal account of one couple's experience with this
ever-increasing phenomenon. The authors, who are professional
photographers, were originally sceptical of New Age ideas, but
after thousands of their photographs showed the same amazing
objects they started to reach some extraordinary conclusions. With
its stunning photographs of this incredible phenomenon, and the
firsthand accounts of eyewitnesses, this volume is a must-have for
anyone interested in the paranormal.
After sharing her own story in Haunted, Dorah L. Williams compiles
first-hand accounts of the spiritual encounters of others. Upon
writing Haunted: The Incredible True Story of a Canadian Family’s
Experience Living in a Haunted House, Dorah thought her situation
was unique. What she didn’t realize was how many others would
relate to how it feels to be haunted, too. After being flooded by
emails from people with similar experiences, Dorah began to realize
this wasn’t uncommon at all. It seemed these paranormal
happenings were universal — in all areas, within all age groups,
and among all walks of life. So, Haunted Too came to be. Not only
will it entertain the reader, as good ghost stories always have,
but it will also help the reader to better understand this
phenomenon, with the inclusion of shared experiences, opinions, and
advice of professionals in this field. Whether fear-provoking or
poignant, these collective supernatural encounters are directly
quoted in their own words by those who have experienced them
first-hand, and are enlightening as well as entertaining.
In this book Robert Bard takes readers on a spine-tingling journey
around Kent to some of its most haunted locations. He discovers
tales of ghostly apparitions, unexplained events and paranormal
phenomena. Among the places investigated is Pluckley, which was
named in the 'Guinness Book of Records' as England’s most haunted
village. Its twelve spirits include a screaming man who fell to his
death and a spectral highwayman who haunts a spot named Fright
Corner. Pluckley’s most famous reported haunting is that of the
Red Lady, or Lady Dering, who died in the twelfth century and is
seen in the churchyard of St Nicholas. Other haunted sites are
Rochester Castle with its thirteenth-century White Lady;
Chislehurst Caves with sounds of children's laughter, footsteps and
sightings of a woman dressed in white; and Bilsington Priory with
its hooded monks. Hever Castle, once home to Anne Boleyn, lays
claim to her spirit, and Dover Castle is a popular spot for
organised ghost hunts, where reported apparitions include a
headless child, a woman clad in red clothes and a soldier who
prowls the underground tunnels. Ghostly episodes from Canterbury
and Chatham also feature, together with Blue Bell Hill where
drivers have reported colliding with phantom pedestrians.
Illustrated throughout, ‘Paranormal Kent’ will appeal to those
interested in the supernatural and local residents who want to
discover their county’s haunted heritage. Are you brave enough to
read on?
