the reaper's creative side, meet the disgusting ghosts of
Louisville and find out more than you wanted to know about

Writing Phantoms in the Night or ETs? was not easy for author
Lorraine McAdam, and what she relates in this book might not be
believed by the vast majority of people -Â which is why she
delayed writing it for so long… Indeed, until now, only those in
her close, nuclear family had known of the details of her story,
which has been a lifelong one. But in her heart she eventually
realised that withholding her story -Â of what she has now
come to believe is some form of ongoing ET contact - was no longer
an option. And because it seems that the world at large has moved
to a more enlightened attitude towards ‘abductees’ or
‘experiencers’ who have experienced and gone through this high
strangeness, loosely called ‘alien contact’, McAdam now thinks
that the time is ripe to reveal her story. “This is my own
simple, truthful, riveting, intriguing, and sometimes frightening
account of multiple encounters, and experiences, with beings I
believe originate from other worlds and, possibly, other
dimensionsâ€, she writes. “And yet I am, to all who know me, an
ordinary English teacher, wife, and mother. So why me? I have no
answer.â€
The Greek myths, refined by the great poets and playwrights of
Ancient Greece, distil the essence of human life: its brief span,
its pride, courage and insecurity, its anxious relationship with
the natural world - earth, sea and sky, represented by powerful
gods and monsters. Taking inspiration from the incomparably
beautiful and intense poetry of Homer, Aeschylus, Sophocles and
Euripides, Spurling - a lifelong classicist and an award-winning
playwright and historical novelist - spins five more myths for
contemporary readers. These captivating tales centre on male-female
pairs - Prometheus and Pandora, Jason and the sorceress Medea,
Oedipus and his daughter Antigone, Achilles and his mother Thetis,
Odysseus and Penelope - that destroyed dynasties, raised and felled
heroes, and sealed the fates of men.
Now safely back at home, Ian and Lilli are free to return to normal
life. Except there's a major problem: Ian keeps seeing the big bad
boss dragon Atreus everywhere, and he can't tell whether it's real
or in his imagination. So the internet is no longer an option.
That's right. Ian, king of online gaming, is out on the soccer
court instead. When Atreus shows up . . . everywhere, he knows he
needs his sister. But he's legally obligated to never say Dra-er,
the name of the game, so how is he supposed to ask for help? When
Ian and Lilli finally sign back online, it's clear that Atreus has
truly been released on the open web-and even worse, Ikumi has been
kidnapped and imprisoned in a video game. It's back into virtual
reality, but this time it's to Mech Ops, a futuristic world of
zombies and evil robots-and the game's not even finished. Will Ian
and Lilli have what it takes to jump through unfinished levels
undetected? Or will they get booted . . . and even worse, are there
do-overs in VR that isn't even built yet?
On December 26th, 1985, Whitley Strieber was woken in his isolated
cabin in upstate New York, he saw a creature in his bedroom. His
next memory is sitting in the woods around the cabin. Hypnosis
revealed that Whitley Strieber had been abducted by a UFO and that
he had been subjected to medical testing by aliens. Strieber came
to realise that he had been abducted by these alien life forms for
most of his life, and began to record his experiences with visitors
from 'elsewhere'. Whether the reader believes or not his story it
will fascinate and terrify. The sincerity and detail of Strieber's
account of his experiences is powerful and it will force every
reader to ask: what are the aliens trying to communicate, are they
here to guide and transform mankind, has the greatest mystery of
our time been solved? Is Whitley Strieber an ambassador for beings
from another world to contact mankind?

Step away from sunny Jersey's present day and into the sinister
shadows of the past ... the island's history is filled with dark
deeds and restless spirits. Collected here for the first time are
stories that have endured through centuries to chill the blood.
This unique anthology gathers together the most famous tales, such
as the Ghost Bride and the White Lady, along with lesser-known
tales, such as The Lake. Erren Michaels' and Noah Goats' skilful
storytelling, along with Ryan Thomas' detailed illustrations,
beautifully combine to relate these haunting tales of murder and
vengeance that refuse to be forgotten.
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.

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 the Old West's most
extraordinary apparitions, sinister spooks, and bizarre beasts. You
may know of the famous and well-documented Alamo, but perhaps you
haven't heard about: -The Mamie R. Mine, plagued by Tommyknockers
who beckon miners into danger by mimicking the screams of children;
-The Mizpah Hotel, where a murdered seductress whispers in the ears
of male patrons and leaves pearls to those she visits; and -Yuma
Territorial Prison, one of the most inhospitable prisons in US
history where over a hundred inmates had perished--some by their
own hand.
'There is evidence to suggest that our world and everything in it -
from snowflakes to maple trees to falling stars and spinning
electrons - are only ghostly images, projections from a level of
reality literally beyond both space and time.' This is the
astonishing idea behind the holographic theory of the universe,
pioneered by two eminent thinkers: physicist David Bohm, a former
protege of Albert Einstein, and quantum physicist Karl Pribram. The
holographic theory of the universe encompasses consciousness and
reality as we know them, but can also explain such hitherto
unexplained phenomena as telepathy, out-of-body experiences and
even miraculous healing. In this remarkable book, Michael Talbot
reveals the extraordinary depth and power of the holographic theory
of the universe, illustrating how it makes sense of the entire
range of experiences within our universe - and in other universes
beyond our own.
G.L Davies invites you to join him on his most terrifying
investigation yet. In 2009 one woman from Pembrokeshire believed
she was abducted by aliens. What followed was a terrifying ordeal
of alien visitation, nightmarish visions, encounters with
terrifying creatures, a connection to the past and a prophecy of
destruction on the scale never before seen in Pembrokeshire's
peaceful history. Should these events be true, then no one is safe.
The harvest has begun... 'Masterfully written and a terrifying true
journey into Alien Abduction. The benchmark for all paranormal
accounts from the greatest paranormal author of his time.'
