Harrogate's reputation as a quaint English spa town has been established since the early 1800s. However, one might be surprised to discover that the town and villages around it hide many terrifying tales. It took paranormalist Paul Forster over a year to collate this collection of real-life encounters with spirits, poltergeists and ghosts. Nothing could prepare him for what he uncovered as he explored the darker, mysterious side of this beautiful tourist destination. Drawing on historical and contemporary sources, Haunted Harrogate's chilling compendium of ghost stories includes accounts never before seen in print. From poltergeists in Harrogate's oldest drinking establishment to apparitions of monks in Knaresborough, this assortment of terrifying tales is bound to show this picturesque part of North Yorkshire in a new light. "When you have eliminated all which is impossible, then whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth". Sir Arthur Conan Doyle "Now it is the time of night, That the graves, all gaping wide, Every one lets forth his sprite, In the church-way paths to glide." William Shakespeare, 'A Midsummer Night's Dream' "The city man is not in sympathy with ghosts. Not so the mountaineer, peasant and sailor. Strange shapes which give signs are seen in clouds. Dim forms move over forest floors. They tread lightly along the brink of precipice and marsh, beckon the traveller into perils or give him warning. Dark and airy figures walk moors and plains or lonely shores. They go again through some happening on land; they re-enact a fateful drama of the seas. The man of the city unaccustomed to such ghost tales, laughs at them; he knows they cannot be true. Yet disbelief and ridicule by many such, have given place to firm conviction and awe, after visiting haunts where environment favours the appearance of ghosts." H. W. PERCIVAL

Rudolf Steiner introduced detailed, scientific knowledge of reincarnation and karma to the West. He gave concrete descriptions of the metamorphoses of individuals in the course of successive incarnations and specific examples of the working of karma, as well as practical exercises for experiencing the reality of reincarnation. He believed that experiencing the reality of successive earth lives would form the basis for true spiritual knowledge of the relationship of human beings and the cosmos.

These talks contain some of Steiner's most important teachings on reincarnation and karma. He gives examples and exercises that can lead to direct knowledge of the laws of reincarnation and karma. Included are:

-- How to get direct perception of the part of our being that passes through many lives on earth

-- How to develop a "feeling memory", which is necessary before direct experience of reincarnation is possible

-- Thought exercises for gaining knowledge of reincarnation and karma

-- Examples of the working of karma between two incarnations

-- How knowledge of reincarnation and karma affects our moral life

Why is belief in an afterlife so persistent across times and cultures? And how can it coexist with disbelief in an afterlife? Most modern thinkers hold that afterlife belief serves such important psychological and social purposes as consoling survivors, enforcing morality, dispensing justice, or giving life meaning. Yet the earliest, and some more recent, afterlives strikingly fail to satisfy those needs. In Inventing Afterlives, Regina M. Janes proposes a new theory of the origins of the hereafter rooted in the question that a dead body raises: where has the life gone? Humans then and now, in communities and as individuals, ponder what they would want or experience were they in that body. From this endlessly recurring situation, afterlife narratives develop in all their complexity, variety, and ingenuity. Exploring afterlives from Egypt to Sumer, among Jews, Greeks, and Romans, to Christianity's advent and Islam's rise, Janes reveals how little concern ancient afterlives had with morality. In south and east Asia, karmic rebirth makes morality self-enforcing and raises a new problem: how to stop re-dying. The British enlightenment, Janes argues, invented the now widespread wish-fulfilling afterlife and illustrates how afterlives change. She also considers the surprising afterlife of afterlives among modern artists and writers who no longer believe in worlds beyond this one. Drawing on a variety of religious traditions; contemporary literature and film; primatology; cognitive science; and evolutionary psychology, Janes shows that in asking what happens after we die, we define the worlds we inhabit and the values by which we live.

The primary contention of this book is that, as a spiritual being, each of us lives beyond death, and eventually returns to earth in a new human body. With this knowledge in mind, the authors give much sound practical advice as to how parents, and others who spend time with children, can welcome a soul to the world and help it grow into a healthy and responsible human being. Mainstream educational policies and practises can result in children being pushed prematurely towards adulthood, before having had a chance truly to experience childhood. As the authors demonstrate, an understanding of the nature of the human being as comprising body, soul and spirit leads to the conclusion that every child should be allowed to grow slowly into the world. 'One of the main purposes of this book', write the authors, 'is to demonstrate that human beings are primarily of spiritual nature, and only secondarily of bodily nature'. They explain how these two natures complement each other in the processes of maturation and development from the period before birth, or incarnation, to maturity. As well as a firm philosophical grounding, Your Reincarnating Child discusses critical questions surrounding the pre- and antenatal periods, including issues connected to clothing, food, play, work, technology, discipline, and much more.

"I died in the Battle of the Somme..." These are the astonishing first words spoken to clairvoyant and healer Stephen Turoff by the soul of James Legett, a young soldier who was killed in World War I. For two years, the world-famous psychic surgeon communicated with the soldier's soul and, in the process, wrote down his remarkable story--not the tale of Legett's tragically short life on the physical plane, but about his death on a battlefield in France and his soul's subsequent journey into the afterlife. Although he works with many discarnate spirits at his clinic, the dyslexic Turoff was initially reluctant to undertake the task of writing a book. But he was persuaded by the boisterous and genial soul of the man who had died. Their literary collaboration involved an unusual method--Legett presented spiritual pictures to Turoff, who then interpreted them into words through clairvoyant perception. The result is this enlightening testimony of life beyond the illusion of death--filled with insight, spiritual wisdom, and delightful humor. The author wrote this book to show that we are all eternal--there is no death, only change.
