Kalamazoo's violent and often anguished history has given way to
myriad ghostly tales surrounding some of the town's most prominent
places. From the tortured souls roaming the Asylum Lake Preserve to
the infamous suicide of the amateur actress Thelma, who reputedly
haunts the Civic Auditorium to this day, it is no small wonder that
the town is filled with apparitions longing to make their stories
and their presence known. In this startlingly spooky collection of
tales, ghost hunters Bray and DuShane gather stories from legend,
lore and residents alike that bring new meaning to the age-old
adage 'seeing is believing.'
Paul Bunyon and Babe, Native American Indians, ghosts, river
mysteries, and more populate the pages of Spooky Wisconsin. You'll
meet the shrouded horseman of Milwaukee, the troll of Mount Horeb,
the dark horse of the Dells, and more as you join folklorist S. E.
Schlosser to discover the spooky stories from the Badger state,
from the Illinois border to Lake Superior, and the Mississippi
River to Lake Michigan.
After several years of being out of print and becoming a bit of a
collectors item; TAKEN, the startling accounts of alien abduction
as documented by the late Karla Turner, has been refreshed and
reissued faithfully with the sole input and authorization from
husband Elton Turner. With a new foreword written by the legendary
Nick Pope who with 21 years of experience at the British
Government's Ministry of Defence and an incredible history of
research and broadcasting, puts it best that Taken is a real
'researcher's book'. This is the ultimate investigation of the
paranormal links between humans and 'other worldly' beings.
Charles Hoy Fort (1874-1932) was an American writer and researcher
into anomalous phenomena. Jerome Clark writes that Fort was
"Essentially a satirist hugely skeptical of human beings' --
especially scientists' claims to ultimate knowledge." Clark
describes Fort's writing style as a "distinctive blend of mocking
humor, penetrating insight, and calculated outrageousness." Writer
Colin Wilson describes Fort as "a kind of patron saint of cranks"
and also argues that running through Fort's work is "the feeling
that no matter how honest scientists think they are, they are still
influenced by various unconscious assumptions that prevent them
from attaining true objectivity. Today, the term Fortean or
Forteana is used to describe various anomalous phenomena.

"Conspiracy of Silence" examines how many ordinary people in
Ireland have seen extraordinary things in our skies. Some have gone
through bizarre experiences, but the truth about these encounters
have been concealed in a conspiracy of silence. Butler and Nally
firmly believe that UFOs are a reality and no matter what causes
might be suggested, the phenomenon is as real here in Ireland as it
is throughout the rest of the world. The book examines close
encounters in Ireland and all aspects of the UFO phenomenon are
covered, from encounters, to an examination of the history of the
phenomena; to what the bible has to say about the subject. Certain
places are closely examined, such as Newgrange, where paranormal
activity is recorded more often than anywhere else in the country,
and new theories are given to such events as the mysterious summer
solstice.
"In terms of the written canon of Scripture, the Book of Revelation
is God's 'last word.' Common logic would seem to dictate that a God
who is intelligent, reasonable and articulate would speak 'last
words' that would be easily understood by the vast majority of His
audience. Unfortunately, in the case of The Revelation, the reality
is quite different. For most of the last two millennia of Church
history, Christians have fussed and fought (metaphorically, if not
physically) over the intent, intelligibility and interpretation of
The Revelation. What was given as a source of encouragement, unity
and hope has become a cause of discouragement, division and fear."
In this book, the author presents a series of "portraits" of Jesus
Christ, which are revealed in the successive apocalyptic visions
contained in the Book of Revelation. These visions were not given
to stir fear or confusion but to inspire hope and to give courage
to a young Church - a Church that was struggling with the harsh
realities of living according to the teachings of Christ in the
midst of a decidedly non-Christian world. The author claims that
Jesus is the focal point and central figure of this mysterious and
final book of the Bible. In this manner, he seeks to make the
message of Revelation relevant and reasonable to every reader.
The subject of the afterlife and ghosts is often deemed suspicious
and related more to pseudo-religion, occultism or something equally
distant from science as well as disturbing and ominous. Some people
consider anything that they cannot comprehend or accept to be
impossible while others are convinced that rejecting such problems
makes them intelligent, so that they deliberately ignore them. On
the other hand, supporters of the theory that everything depends on
the brain would explain ghosts by brain disorders, illusions or
hallucinations. However, there are surprisingly many individuals
who have had the opportunity to experience - in a more or less
direct way - the existence of an invisible world and its
inhabitants. In fact, no one can quite sincerely deny that they
exist. There is no point in negating something, just because it
cannot be seen or measured. In this book, the writer relate the
latest findings of physics about the next world and the beings that
live in it. Writer also going to analyse these findings from the
scientific point of view and to describe the spiritual world using
scientific terms. This book will be interesting both for those who
belive in afterlife but need scientific confirmation as well as for
the sceptics who may change their minds after having read this
publication. This book refer to the first publication of Mr.
Tadataka Kimura's book "Truth of soul" published in 2011.
Pull up a chair or gather round the campfire and get ready for
creepy tales of ghostly hauntings, eerie happenings, and other
strange occurrences in the Hoosier State. Whether read around the
campfire on a dark and stormy night or from the backseat of the
family van on the way to grandma's, this is a collection to
treasure.
