Legends of abandoned old graveyards and some not so abandoned
abound-the crying dog in the cemetary well, the wandering ghost of
Long Tom March, who carries a deck of cards and won't rest until he
finds a winning poker hand. Next to a graveyard where an arm is
buried, the old piano in the fogotten church plays. These and other
tales along with some more recent real-life experiences will
intrigue you, skeptic or not. Read the tales with an open mind.
They are for pleasure, a bit of paranormal, a little seriousness,
and hopefully a laugh or two. If you are a nonbeliever in the
supernatural, you may change your skepticism is etched in stone.
Then again the author learned that nothing is etched in stone
forever. This humorous book also includes some unusual coffins,
tombstones, and epitaphs as well as some early Texas burial
traditions.
For over fifty years an incident near Roswell, New Mexico, has
sparked the imaginations of UFO enthusiasts. Did the military
recover a crashed "flying saucer" there, along with several
extraterrestrial bodies? Has the government gone to great lengths
to hide the evidence? Over time these speculations have reached the
status of unquestionable truths in the minds of many ufologists.
In this definitive study of the Roswell incident, longtime UFO
researcher Karl T. Pflock-who is convinced that some UFO reports
are real alien sightings-concludes, after an exhaustive
investigation, that no alien craft or bodies were ever found at
Roswell. Pflock admits at the outset that he too once strongly
believed there might be something to the Roswell alien stories, and
he describes how he then came to discover the whole truth. Using
formerly classified records he proves that the U.S. government has
absolutely no physical evidence of aliens, shows how critical
weather data completely refute key claims of Roswell believers, and
explains why the case now rises and falls on the testimony of just
one witness, who cleverly manipulated leading investigators and
continues to do so today.
Pflock's intensive research and access to once-classified
documents-including facsimilies of important formerly classified
documents, 28 witness affidavits, and the entire Pratt-Marcel
interview transcript-make this book must reading even for UFO
buffs-believers and skeptics alike- who feel they know everything
about Roswell.
Archangel Michael taught interactive healing to author Rekha
Vidyarthi; through this technique, she has assisted the healing
process in people for sixteen years. Michael said to her "You need
to heal yourself in order to heal others." Written with Jesus's
guidance, Healing Hands of Jesus illustrates how you can choose to
change the karmic things and past lives that are happening right
now. Angels heal many lives at once by healing one personality and
integrating one fragment at a time into the higher self, shortening
the incarnation of a troubled past and present. Every experience in
life is created by unconscious thoughts. Your outer situation
triggers your innermost emotions and feelings. The mind requires
answers in order to change one's perspective. Because most answers
lie either in childhood or in a past life, it is necessary to look
within. The angels trigger our memories to identify the connection,
which is when healing begins. Such things as parental imprinting,
family karma, ego, anger, fear, guilt, sadness, depression, or
learned behavior perpetuate from one life to the next. These issues
repeat themselves through many lives until we learn how to heal the
issues. Healing Hands of Jesus explains that we must ask
forgiveness for the negative things that are happening to us now in
order to heal ourselves.
This is book two of a trilogy. The first book titled; Awake, Arise
and Triumph and subtitled Book 1 - God's Original Intent spoke of
the period from Genesis 1: 1 of the Holy Bible through the time
that man fell (Genesis 3: 6) being decieved of Satan. This second
book titled; Awake, Arise and Triumph and subtitled Book 2 - God's
Road to Redemption reviews creation, the fall of man and the
mechanism by which Satan worked to decieve Adam. And how he
contines to work in our lives to our detriment. Than praise God we
see how our Redeemer, our Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ is revealed
in the Old Covenant on the Road of God's mercy.
"The definitive account of a beloved hotel that has played a
memorable role in San Antonio's history....the fascinating story of
the people who owned the Menger and the noteworthy folk they
entertained.....This generously illustrated book is one that
visitors and San Antonians alike will want to make their

Frank W. Jennings
Historian, journalist, and author of "San Antonio: The Story of an
Enchanted City"
"An engaging and generous history of a Texas institution. Williams'
work is a mix of panoramic views and detail, from resident ghosts
to army generals, from recipes to love stories, that should give
anyone a peg for their curiosity".

true German grit of William and Mary Menger or the eerie wanderers
of the Menger corridors. I love the Menger and so will you, if you
don't already".

Are extraterrestrials real? Or are they the product of overactive
imaginations fed by weekly TV shows and tabloid headlines? Is the
government's silence due to ignorance, or to a plan that was
implemented long before the public ever heard of 'Martians'? Is the
motive of the media to simply profit from this phenomenon, or is it
to act as a medium of something much larger and more complex than
entertainment? This book is for both the believer and the sceptic
-- to be used to decipher the connection between the role of the
media and the history of UFOs. For nearly fifty years, in TV shows
from Captain Video to The X-Files, movies from The Day the Earth
Stood Still to Men in Black, from headline stories in both trashy
tabloids and respectable publications, and now on the internet --
we have constantly been exposed to extraterrestrials. This book
examines the media's saturation with UFOs and aliens, and addresses
a series of arguments as to how it became that way, when it will
end, and who's pulling the strings.
FLIGHT BEYOND THE STARS What is it you want? We struggle to become
successful, to achieve. We learn as children to "wish upon a star."
Flight Beyond the Stars suggests new heights to dream of, to
desire, and to achieve. In a competitive and specialized society
Dr. Kelsey offers expanses and freedom. The author believes and
shows how the tangible, the here and now, is the take-off platform,
for knowing and creating the journey to the metaphysical realities
which the soul craves: self-satisfaction, right relationships,
fulfillment, and a sense of truth and beauty in existence. Seeing
clearly what is in front of one, transports to the beyond. The book
illustrates story of places and things to help the reader focus on
their value. Objects become talismans to cherish and experiences
become testaments of a genuinely appreciated life with all of its
challenges. It is as if the balance of negative and positive create
the space necessary to see clearly for the flight. Crossing the
equator and yet coming home to a known, genuine self is the
journey. In paperback: "About the Author" at end of book in both
books. In the paper back, flaps info will follow "About the
Author."
The proposal of the School was made in 1998 to three institutions,
which responded enthusiastically: The Abdus Salam International
Centre for Theoretical Physics (ICTP), its main co-sponsor, the
International Centre for Genetic Engineering and Biotechnology,
both in Trieste, Italy, and the Chancellor's Office, Universidad
Simon Bolfvar (USB). The secretarial and logistic support was
provided in Trieste by the ICTP and in Caracas by USB and the IDEA
Convention Center. In addition the event was generously supported

Engaging and entertaining, UFO Sightings: The Evidence is the most
up-to-date overview of the UFO phenomenon, a controversy that gains
strength with each new report of strange happenings in the sky.
Written from the skeptical perspective, and applying the scientific
method to the cases explored, this book differs greatly from the
proparanormal tomes widely available today.
"Most broad survey UFO books contain absolutely uncritical
presentations of sensational claims," says author Robert Sheaffer.
"Typically, pro-UFO books deliberately omit all facts that tend to
discredit the cases."
UFO Sightings is unique because it gives the reader a broad
overview of the world of UFOlogy, dealing with most major cases and
trends, while offering references and commentary to provide a clear
perspective. Incidents and photographs are scrutinized within a
framework of objective science.
Included are the Jimmy Carter UFO sighting; the "abduction" of
Betty and Barney Hill; the incidents at Exeter; the Men in Black;
messages from space; mothmen, wolf girls, and transparent apes;
films; the UFO blitz of Mexico; and the comparisons to sightings of
fairies and witches in colonial times.
Understanding the Trinity is a revolution in Christian thought and
philosophy. True Christianity is a Jewish religion established and
organized by Jews. Gentiles were invited by Jews, with God's
approval, to participate in the Christian movement. However,
Gentile Leaders in most Christian Churches of the world today do
not preach the original Christian gospel message of salvation that
was first delivered to the saints by the apostle Paul (Galatians
1:8-9). "Understanding the Trinity, Three Persons vs Three
Manifestations," will bring us back to the original gospel message,
the oneness of God, and the power of God's name in the face of
Jesus Christ. (Deuteronomy 6:4, Luke 2:11). When Billy G. Newton,
Bishop, Diocesan of the 29th Episcopal District, Pentecostal
Assemblies of the World, Inc., Pastor of the Word of Church read
this book, he said, "This book was so fascinating I couldn't put it
down." When Kevin Seraaj, M.Div., J.D. Senior Pastor, Cornerstone
Baptist Church, Publisher, Central Florida Advocate News read this
book, he said, "Understanding the Trinity" is a timely, relevant
and extremely provocative piece of work. In a time when the church
must be challenged to move out of old ways, notions, thoughts and
traditions, this book will without question provide a forum for
much-needed theological discussion. For students of the Bible, this
book is a must read, for it is always that process of reading,
analyzing and debating that enables us to move forward in both our
personal and spiritual journeys." Great job When Frank E. Thompson,
Pastor of the Worship Center Church read the book, he said, "This
book should be taught in colleges and universities." Author's Note:
You have in your possession the true gospel of Jesus Christ. Don't
let the birds steal your seeds (Matthew 13:3-13) (KJV).
Take a spine-tingling journey with author Docia Williams as she
introduces you to the ghosts that roam the warm beaches of Port
Aransas and South Padre Island. You may want to keep the night
light on as she investigates the mysterious hauntings of La Bahia
at Goliad, the Golden Triangle, and the presidios of far South
Texas. Using tangible evidence and first-hand testimony, Williams
attempts to validate some of the bizarre and disturbing accounts of
ghosts along the Texas coast.
Renowned storyteller Docia Williams gathers a medley of some of the
best haunting stories from her four previous books Spirits of San
Antonio and South Texas, Phantoms of the Plains, Ghosts Along the
Texas Coast, and When Darkness Falls then she adds a hundred pages
of new ghostly tales from the Piney Woods of East Texas and from
North Central Texas, including the Dallas area.
Once again Mrs. Williams brings to light tangible evidence and
eyewitness testimony in Best Tales of Texas Ghosts to validate an
illusive world without dimension, one filled with bizarre and
disturbing accounts of unexplained presences.
After interviewing hundreds of people with firsthand experiences
and personally witnessing eerie manifestations, she has concluded,
[There are things happening all around us that can only be labeled
as supernatural.]
