Paranormal investigator Ryan Dunn and his Savannah Ghost Research
Society return with a new collection of investigations and ghostly
hotspots in their second book on Savannah hauntings. Were people
really forced into piracy at the Pirate's House? Why did Matilda
Sorrel jump to her death at the Sorrel Weed House? Who is the child
spirit at the Marshall House Hotel, biting people in their sleep?
Why did one home require a Catholic priest to perform an exorcism?
Go along with the team as they sift through historical evidence at
the Georgia Historic Society, separating fact from fiction, and
read about their overnight encounters. This authoritative read will
take you from Savannah's earliest settlers to present day, and you
may find some of those earliest settlers refusing to remain in
their own time.
This book is a collection of poetry. Each were written individually
at seperate times in my life. They have been put together from my
earliest pieces to Amy newest symbolizing my thirty years. Some of
the pieces are sad, some are happy, while others can be
devastating. Regardless of the emotional rollercoaster, each one is
part of my life. These writings are simply lyrics, written out
emotions, thoughts and ideas representative of how I felt at a
certain time in my life. I hope you enjoy reading them as much as I
enjoyed writing them.
The book constitutes the final part of "Tathagata - A Divine Comedy
for Our Time" where Tathagata transcends the limitations of the
ego-bound world and sees himself as the Christ-Man, who embodies in
himself the mystery of existence of both Man and God. The dialogues
between the Christ-man and God touch upon the return of God to
human life and reveal the nature of the incomprehensible existence
of the Divine Being through an allegorical language, which grazes
between the realm of knowledge and reason and a world which lies
beyond all knowing and understanding by the human mind.If one
wonders about God, whose nature of existence cannot be explained in
any language known to man, this book may help to gain a closer
understanding of the way the Divine may appear and act in human
life.In modern time science denounces the ideas of Divinity and
considers the believers of God as people with brain dysfunction.
This book is a product of such a "dysfunctional brain" to whom God
has spoken. These dialogues between man and God will throw new
lights on the existence of Christ and Buddha, who do not exist in
the physical plane but manifest through human mind, and appear in
the inner realm as the presence of the Divine power which animates
all creations in the universe.
The eastern side of the Smokies abounds with spooky tales, like the
story of a Shadow Woman who appeared to a farmer each morning and
evening to beg for a cup of milk. Skinned Tom is another East
Tennessee haunt, though his is a sinister tale that warns the
unfaithful to steer clear of local lover's lanes for their illicit
trysting. From the farmer who finds a Cavern of Skulls to a
moonshiner who makes a deal with a water demon; and the Half Shaved
ghost seeking vengeance to the first (and only) meeting of the
Asheville Ghost Club, the Great Smoky Mountains and its foothills
abound with spooky tales. My favorites are in this collection.
Thrilling stories of supernatural occurrences in Connecticut,
including the curse on Dudleytown, the spirit of Hanna Cranna who
causes car crashes in Monroe, the phantom black dog of Meriden,
buried-alive Midnight Mary, the lost village of Bara-Hack, and many
more.
Do places where violent deaths occur somehow absorb the horror,
only to conjure up images that haunt the living for generations to
come? Many people believe that this can indeed happen; above all,
in the context of that manmade phenomenon that reaps so great a
toll in so short a time: War. Haunted U.S. Battlefields takes us on
a spine-tingling tour of America's most legendary spectral scenes
of human struggle-from the Revolutionary War to the Civil War, from
the Indian Wars to World War II and beyond. As America's bloodiest
conflict, the Civil War has yielded the greatest number of ghostly
sightings. Hence, most of the twenty-five battlefield legends this
book relates are from this era-whether the myriad strange spectral
happenings associated with Gettysburg, or this war's lesser known
but equally tragic events. Summing up the eerie essence of wartime
scenes across America-many of which today host popular ghost
tours-Haunted U.S. Battlefields is a must for students of the
paranormal, Civil War buffs, and all others interested in a
spine-chilling realm of military history that the history books
don't dare tell.
