Everything.
The highly anticipated memoir from the star of the hit series
"Lisa Williams: Life Among the Dead"
When Lisa Williams was four years old, she told her parents about
the spirits in her bedroom. Since those first sightings, Lisa has
seen and communicated with thousands of people who have passed
over, listening to their stories and delivering messages of comfort
to the loved ones they left behind.
In "Life Among the Dead," Lisa invites readers into her
extraordinary life, from her childhood in Birmingham, England,
where her grandmother -- also a renowned psychic -- encouraged her
to respect and nurture her talent, to her decision to move to Los
Angeles, where her smash-hit Lifetime television show quickly made
her one of the world's most beloved mediums. Lisa shares memories
of her earliest psychic experiences and her gradual acceptance of
her gift, and recalls many of the amazingly accurate communications
she has shared with believers and skeptics alike. In her
compassionate, down-to-earth style, she reveals exactly what it's
like to live surrounded by spirits every day, and she recounts the
joy she feels in bringing solace to those who have lost someone
dear and the insights she has gleaned about spiritual phenomena,
hauntings, psychic healing, and the afterlife.
Warm, witty, and surprising, "Life Among the Dead" is a
wonderfully intimate account of Lisa's life as a medium, healer,
wife, mom, and TV star who has already won the hearts of millions,
a woman with an astonishing gift for seeing beyond the ordinary and
into a mysterious and fascinating realm.

Kalamazoo's violent and often anguished history has given way to
myriad ghostly tales surrounding some of the town's most prominent
places. From the tortured souls roaming the Asylum Lake Preserve to
the infamous suicide of the amateur actress Thelma, who reputedly
haunts the Civic Auditorium to this day, it is no small wonder that
the town is filled with apparitions longing to make their stories
and their presence known. In this startlingly spooky collection of
tales, ghost hunters Bray and DuShane gather stories from legend,
lore and residents alike that bring new meaning to the age-old
adage 'seeing is believing.'
Paul Bunyon and Babe, Native American Indians, ghosts, river
mysteries, and more populate the pages of Spooky Wisconsin. You'll
meet the shrouded horseman of Milwaukee, the troll of Mount Horeb,
the dark horse of the Dells, and more as you join folklorist S. E.
Schlosser to discover the spooky stories from the Badger state,
from the Illinois border to Lake Superior, and the Mississippi
River to Lake Michigan.
Charles Hoy Fort (1874-1932) was an American writer and researcher
into anomalous phenomena. Jerome Clark writes that Fort was
"Essentially a satirist hugely skeptical of human beings' --
especially scientists' claims to ultimate knowledge." Clark
describes Fort's writing style as a "distinctive blend of mocking
humor, penetrating insight, and calculated outrageousness." Writer
Colin Wilson describes Fort as "a kind of patron saint of cranks"
and also argues that running through Fort's work is "the feeling
that no matter how honest scientists think they are, they are still
influenced by various unconscious assumptions that prevent them
from attaining true objectivity. Today, the term Fortean or
Forteana is used to describe various anomalous phenomena.
