In Denver, the spirits aren't just penned to the city center. No,
even the suburbs and outlying cities have the kind of history that
could give quite a fright to the unsuspecting. Folks might be
surprised to learn that a house in northwest Denver comes fully
equipped with a basement theater--and spectral performers as
well--and former phantom residents still roam their old homestead
in what is now an Adams County open space. From Westminster's
Bowles House Museum, where even the ghosts were involved in
renovations, to Littleton's Melting Pot restaurant, a former
Carnegie library that offers diners a side of the supernatural,
accidental ghost hunter Kevin Pharris explores further tales of
supernatural haunts and unexplained phenomena surrounding the
Mile-High City.

Tales of hauntings, strange happenings and other local lore
throughout the Sunshine state!
What better locale to consider for spooky happenings than the home
of the Salem witch trials? From mysteries at sea to ghosts and
unexplained footprints, you'll shiver your way through these
mesmerizing tales. Set in the state's historic towns, charming old
islands, and sparsely populated backwoods, the stories in this
entertaining and compelling collection are great for the whole
family.
Things that go bump in the night, disembodied voices, footsteps in
an empty stairwell, an icy hand on your shoulder...let your
imagination run wild as you read about Wisconsin's most
extraordinary apparitions, sinister spooks, and bizarre beasts. You
may know of Lotta Morgan, Ghostly Lady of the Evening, but perhaps
you haven't heard about: -A man driven crazy at the Summerwind
Mansion after finding a mummified corpse in a drawer -The phantom
acapella music of the Lost Spirits of Coolidge -The flying manbat
known as mothman of LaCross -The mythical haunchies of Haunchyland
who hung a man for discovering their underground tunnel system.
Crop circles are the finest, most beautiful and original art forms
of modem times, and they are totally mysterious. Behind the crop
circle phenomenon is an evident purpose. Some intelligence, human,
alien or spiritual, is in the process of communication. It is
exposing us to a course of re-education, beginning with the symbols
of sacred knowledge and wisdom. The most striking evidence for this
view is the amazing formation that appeared at Crooked Soley in
Wiltshire on the 27th August 2002. Clearly expressed in its design
are certain numerical symbols that are known esoterically as the
'Keys to Creation'. They are also keys to that universal science
associated with the Holy Grail. From time to time it is revealed
again, and when that happens, culture and the human spirit are
renewed and life on earth is restored to its natural state as a
reflection of paradise.
Maine has a rich supernatural history and ghost stories from the
state are as varied as they are prolific. Freelance writer and
reporter Tom Verde first became interested in such eerie
occurrences while researching first-hand encounters with ghosts for
a series of public radio programs. This book recounts some of the
spine-tingling tales he uncovered in his research, including: *The
dagger-wielding shade who terrorized a Portland couple *The
murdered Indian who revisited Means's Tavern *Famed diva Lillian
Nordica, whose voice still echoes through the Farmington auditorium
named in her honor *The hostile spirit who tried to frighten the
tenants out of an Orrington house *Even an entire phantom ship,
bound eternally for Freeport These are not fictitious creations of
literary imagination. People from all walks of life-including many
who were positive they would never believe in ghosts-attest to
these encounters.
