Ranging from the 18th century to the present and from Beacon Hill
to windswept Cape Ann, Holly Nadler's collection of true ghost
stories from Boston and its environs offers a varied sampling of
supernatural phenomena. Many of these tales offer a satisfying dose
of ghoulish and frightening details; others are colored with a
certain poignancy or even humor.
This classic casebook chronicles the author's personal experience
with psychic phenomena from when she was six years old and into her
later years. Facsimile reprint of the 1920 edition.]
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.
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.
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.

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.

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.
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?
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."
