Wales is said to be the most haunted country in the world. Restless
spirits roam the ancient land, from the lofty peaks of Snowdonia to
the dark depths of the abandoned mines. In Paranormal Wales author
Mark Rees takes the reader on a spine-chilling journey to dozens of
these locations, which include well-known tourist landmarks and
more secluded spots well off the beaten track. These accounts of
disembodied voices, supernatural mists and pesky poltergeists range
from centuries-old legends to modern-day sightings. Visit the
'oldest pub' in Wales, where more than 180 people are claimed to
have been sentenced to death by hanging. Explore the majestic opera
house built by a world-famous soprano, who some say continues to
perform on her beloved stage from beyond the grave. Spend the night
in a seemingly idyllic manor house, where the presence of a
Victorian housekeeper is said to reduce unsuspecting guests to
tears. Or step back in time at one of the many ivy-strewn castles,
where ladies in white patrol the Gothic battlements as tortured
screams ring out from the dungeons below. Some of these stories
might be familiar, others less so, but they all have one thing in
common - they will make you think twice about turning off the light
at night. Illustrated throughout, Paranormal Wales will be of
spine-tingling interest to those wanting to discover more about the
country's haunted and hidden heritage.

Synchronicity and the Seventh Seal is a true life adventure where
the crossroads of parallel universes meet to reveal the core
formula of reality. Told against the backdrop of King Solomon's
underground catacombs, this book explores the pathway to the
Unified Field through the principle of synchronicity. In 1990, when
Peter Moon encountered Preston Nichols and opened the door to the
public investigation of the Montauk Project, he began to experience
odd synchronicities that were far beyond the range of what could be
considered ordinary coincidences. In the midst of writing and
editing books, Peter found that these synchronicities accelerated
at a far greater rate than he could easily chronicle and put into
book form. Only now, after a dozen years is he beginning to catch
up and publish the first instalment which is entitled SYNCHRONICITY
AND THE SEVENTH SEAL, Peter's first solo authored book since THE
BLACK SUN in 1997. This new book begins with a historical and
scientific look at synchronicity before leading into a
recapitulation and new perspective on the many synchronicities that
are now part of the Montauk legend. After revealing the paranormal
prelude that led him to the Montauk Project, which includes the
origins of the Remote Viewing phenomena, Peter gives a riveting
account of and a totally new perspective to the Babalon Working
which was revealed to him as a result of his adventures with
Marjorie Cameron, the wife of Jack Parsons who was the vehicle used
to precipitate the return of the Goddess. SYNCHRONICITY AND THE
SEVENTH SEAL reveals new mysteries about the Babalon Working and
how his study of it led to further synchronicity, including a
unique penetration of the work of John Dee and Edward Talbot Kelly,
two magicians who inspired the Babalon Working and also dictated
the future course of Western Civilization under the sponsorship of
Queen Elizabeth I. Ultimately, this path of synchronicity leads to
the revelation of the Seventh Seal itself. It is not what you
think, but you will not be disappointed, and you will learn the
greatest secret by which the multitudes have been duped since the
beginning of the Christian Era.
After World War II and the subsequent occupation of Germany, Allied
military commanders were stunned to discover the penetrating depth
of the Nazi regime's state secrets. The world's best intelligence
organization was not the least of these revelations. Also
discovered were massive and meticulous research files on secret
societies, eugenics and other scientific pursuits that boggled the
imagination of the Allied command. Even more spectacular was an
entire web of underground rocket and flying saucer factories with
accompanying technology that still defies ordinary beliefs. A
missing U-boat fleet possessing the most advanced submarine
technology in the world left many wondering if the Nazis had
escaped with yet more secrets or even with Hitler himself. Behind
all of these mysteries was an even deeper element: a secret order
known to initiates as the Order of the Black Sun, an organization
so feared that it is now illegal to even print their symbols and
insignia in modern Germany. The Black Sun probes deeper into the
secrets of the Third Reich and its Tibetan contacts than any other
previous attempt. Author Peter Moon ties all of these strange
associations to Montauk Point, where an American military facility
was used by the Nazis to further their own strange experiments and
continue the agenda of the Third Reich. Peter Moon unravels more
Montauk mysteries which leads to the most insightful look ever into
the Third Reich and their ultimate quest: the Ark of the Covenant
and the Holy Grail. This quest penetrates the secret meaning behind
the Egyptian and Tibetan "Books of the Dead." Includes photographs
and illustrations.
Sunderland's proud history encompasses its beginnings as a major
centre of religious learning in the early medieval period and its

North East. In this book author Steve Watson investigates the rich
supernatural heritage of this city and the surrounding Wearside

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.
This is the truth about demons and demonology - in more than 400
entries. The conflict between good and evil can be found in every
culture, mythical tradition, and religion throughout history. In
many cases, the source of evil has been personified as demons or
devils, and in many belief systems, both are considered to be real
entities operating outside the boundaries of the physical world to
torment people or lead them astray. In some traditions demons are
believed to be the direct opposite of angels, working against the
forces of good and challenging them. Real or not, demons are at the
heart of many fascinating beliefs and traditions, several of which
are widely held today. ""The Encyclopedia of Demons and
Demonology"" explores this dark aspect of folklore and religion and
the role that demons play in the modern world. This comprehensive
resource presents more than 400 entries and more than 80
black-and-white photographs documenting beliefs about demons and
demonology from ancient history to the present. The key topics
covered include: Demons in different cultural and religious
traditions; Demons in folklore and popular culture; Exorcism and
other means of confronting demons; Historical cases of possession
and demon activity; The history of demonology; Magic and
witchcraft; Possession and other demonic phenomena; Modern-day
demonologists and exorcists; Strange creatures and entities related
to demons; and, Types of demons.
Placing Bruno--both advanced philosopher and magician burned at the
stake--in the Hermetic tradition, Yates's acclaimed study gives an
overview not only of Renaissance humanism but of its interplay--and
conflict--with magic and occult practices.
"Among those who have explored the intellectual world of the
sixteenth century no one in England can rival Miss Yates. Wherever
she looks, she illuminates. Now she has looked on Bruno. This
brilliant book takes time to digest, but it is an intellectual
adventure to read it. Historians of ideas, of religion, and of
science will study it. Some of them, after reading it, will have to
think again. . . . For Miss Yates has put Bruno, for the first
time, in his tradition, and has shown what that tradition
was."--Hugh Trevor-Roper, "New Statesman"
"A decisive contribution to the understanding of Giordano Bruno,
this book will probably remove a great number of misrepresentations
that still plague the tormented figure of the Nolan
prophet."--Giorgio de Santillana, "American Historical Review"
"Yates's book is an important addition to our knowledge of Giordano
Bruno. But it is even more important, I think, as a step toward
understanding the unity of the sixteenth century."--J. Bronowski,
"New York Review of Books"
