viewers over the course of seven spooky seasons, covering the
supernatural and otherworldly spirits, to ghosts, ghouls,
unexplained paranormal activity, and everything in between. In
their thrilling debut book, cohosts Shane Madej and Ryan Bergara
(lovingly known as the "ghoul boys" to fans) deep-dive into dozens
of haunted locations around the USA and a few abroad, including
subjects from some of their most favorite and talked about
episodes, as well as brand-new locations not previously seen before
on their show. As they explore the history behind haunted houses,
creepy graveyards, former insane asylums, abandoned buildings, and
horrifying hotels, Shane and Ryan use their trademark wit and humor
to dissect each terrifying tale with their most hilarious
highlights and biting commentary. So hold on to your hell-bound
soul, boys and ghouls-it's about to get demonic up in here.
Lighthouses and ghosts are two popular passions. Melded together by
master storyteller and lighthouse expert Ray Jones, these tales of
spirited lights are guaranteed to grab the attention of all
readers. As an added bonus, practical information is given for
those who wish to visit the featured lighthouses for themselves . .
. if they dare.
The highly anticipated memoir from the star of the hit series
"Lisa Williams: Life Among the Dead"
When Lisa Williams was four years old, she told her parents about
the spirits in her bedroom. Since those first sightings, Lisa has
seen and communicated with thousands of people who have passed
over, listening to their stories and delivering messages of comfort
to the loved ones they left behind.
In "Life Among the Dead," Lisa invites readers into her
extraordinary life, from her childhood in Birmingham, England,
where her grandmother -- also a renowned psychic -- encouraged her
to respect and nurture her talent, to her decision to move to Los
Angeles, where her smash-hit Lifetime television show quickly made
her one of the world's most beloved mediums. Lisa shares memories
of her earliest psychic experiences and her gradual acceptance of
her gift, and recalls many of the amazingly accurate communications
she has shared with believers and skeptics alike. In her
compassionate, down-to-earth style, she reveals exactly what it's
like to live surrounded by spirits every day, and she recounts the
joy she feels in bringing solace to those who have lost someone
dear and the insights she has gleaned about spiritual phenomena,
hauntings, psychic healing, and the afterlife.
Warm, witty, and surprising, "Life Among the Dead" is a
wonderfully intimate account of Lisa's life as a medium, healer,
wife, mom, and TV star who has already won the hearts of millions,
a woman with an astonishing gift for seeing beyond the ordinary and
into a mysterious and fascinating realm.
Haunted Hotels comprises more than two dozen tales of ghosts,
unexplained phenomena, and other spooky happenings at hotels, inns,
and rooming houses across America and around the world. Tom Ogden,
author of four other books in the Haunted series, also provides
information for readers who wish to check in and check out the
spirits themselves . . . if they dare.
Long ago, the Galactic Federation sent the Atlans, a fierce group
of humans from the Pleiades, to Earth to confront the newest colony
of the combative ever-spreading alien race known as the Reptilians.
The ensuing battle sank the continent of Lemuria and drove the
Reptilians underground beneath the Indian subcontinent as well as
to Antarctica. Able to shapeshift to appear human, the Reptilians
then infiltrated the Atlantean civilization, abducting humans and
creating Reptilian hybrids. As Len Kasten shows, this technique of
infiltration and hybridization prior to an all-out attack has been
the hallmark of Reptilian conquest throughout the
galaxy.Chronicling the history of the Reptilian Empire's influence
on Earth and their conquest of 21 star systems, Kasten reveals how
the human race is enmeshed in a skillfully concealed plot to
enslave humanity and exploit our planet's physical and biological
resources.Revealing Hitler's pact with extraterrestrials and the
Reptilian influence on the Nazi state, he shares new documents that
disclose the rescue and rehabilitation of Nazi war criminals to
assist in the Cold War, which then corrupted many U.S. government
institutions. Focusing on crucial events in the decade after World
War II, he examines the Reptilians' human allies, the Illuminati,
who control the levers of financial, technological, and military
power throughout the world through various secret societies.
Hit show "Paranormal State" chronicles the extraordinary life of
Ryan Buell and the other members of the Paranormal Research Society
(PRS) as they seek to find the truth behind terrifying real life
mysteries, hauntings, and ghosts. Stone-cold investigators of the
supernatural and seekers of the unknown, they have dedicated their
lives to working beside countless amounts of families who seem to
suffer from the effects of paranormal experiences. In this
behind-the-scenes look, Ryan takes readers inside the cases from
the show. Revealing new facts, and discussing never-before-seen
cases, "Paranormal State" explores the intriguing mysteries
surrounding each case and the difficult decisions faced by Ryan and
PRS in the field, as well as their struggles with faith (their own
and that of those they're helping). Readers and die-hard fans will
finally get to see how Ryan and PRS have evolved, both from the
beginning and through the advent of the show. Connecting the dots
and finding out why these 'hauntings' may occur in the first place,
Ryan and his team have saved families. "Paranormal State" is the
official guide to their fascinating and frightening endeavours.
War has arrived in Ossiana; Four Treasures and four fae are all
that stand between Eilanmor and destruction. But with Ailsa and her
friends scattered to the winds, will they find each other before
their enemies tighten their chokehold on the continent? Still
reeling from her revelation in the mountains, Ailsa must prove she
is worthy of the Spear of Truth to win it from the witches.
Surrounded by strangers and abandoned by both her demon and her
spirit guide, things have never looked bleaker. But the gods have
their own plans and soon Ailsa and her companions find that what
was once dead and buried will rise again.
The present book by Hu Baozhu explores the subject of ghosts and
spirits and attempts to map the religious landscape of ancient
China. The main focus of attention is the character gui , an
essential key to the understanding of spiritual beings. The author
analyses the character gui in various materials - lexicons and
dictionaries, excavated manuscripts and inscriptions, and received
classical texts. Gui is examined from the perspective of its
linguistic root, literary interpretation, ritual practices,
sociopolitical implication, and cosmological thinking. In the
gradual process of coming to know the otherworld in terms of ghosts
and spirits, Chinese people in ancient times attempted to identify
and classify these spiritual entities. In their philosophical
thinking, they connected the subject of gui with the movement of
the universe. Thus the belief in ghosts and spirits in ancient
China appeared to be a moral standard for all, not only providing a
room for individual religiosity but also implementing the purpose
of family-oriented social order, the legitimization of political
operations, and the understanding of the way of Heaven and Earth.
'This book is an important contribution, and I hope it will open
many minds. What is particularly important in it are the
discussions of David Bohm, of bioplasma, biophotons, and
bioelectronics.' - PROFESSOR ZBIGNIEW WOLKOWSKI, Sorbonne
University, Paris "Answers so many questions, scientific and
esoteric, about the true nature of our reality... A seminal work...
Will revolutionise how we frame reality and the thinking of
everyone on this planet. Kudos to Professor Temple for striking the
first match to light the fire." - NEW DAWN The story of the science
of plasma and its revolutionary implications for the way we
understand the universe and our place in it. Histories of science
in the 20th century have focused on relativity and quantum
mechanics. But, quietly in the background, there has been a third
area of exploration which has equally important implications for
our understanding of the universe. It is unknown to the general
public despite the fact that many Nobel prize winners, senior
academics and major research centres around the world have been
devoted to it - it is the study of plasma Plasma is the fourth
state of matter and the other three - gas, liquid and solids -
emerge out of plasma. This book will reveal how over 99% of the
universe is made of plasma and how there are two gigantic clouds of
plasma, called the Kordylewski Clouds, hovering between the Earth
and the Moon, only recently discovered by astronomers in Hungary.
Other revelations not previously known outside narrow academic
disciplines include the evidence that in certain circumstances
plasma exhibits features that suggest they may be in some sense
alive: clouds of plasma have evolved double helixes, banks of cells
and crystals, filaments and junctions which could control the flow
of electric currents, thus generating an intelligence similar to
machine intelligence. We may, in fact, have been looking for signs
of extra-terrestrial life in the wrong place. Bestselling author
Robert Temple has been following the study of plasma for decades
and was personally acquainted with several of the senior scientists
- including Nobel laureates - at its forefront, including Paul
Dirac, David Bohm, Peter Mitchell and Chandra Wickramasinghe (who
has co-written an academic paper with Temple).
Many people believe they have seen ghosts, many others are
doubtful, but despite the rationalism of the present day, there has
been no decrease in the number of sightings: old ghosts have
survived for centuries and have been joined by modern ones, haunted
houses retain their eerie reputations, apparitions are studied by
parapsychologists, poltergeists still wreak havoc in homes. Ghost
Sightings is a wide-ranging guide to ghostly phenomena from all
parts of the globe up to 2015. It covers cases throughout history:
many of them famous, others less well known. It examines malign
spirits and gentle ghosts, apparitions, wraiths, haunted houses and
spooky urban myths. Each entry gives details of the date, location
and course of events, as well as providing a historical context and
analytical assessment of the phenomenon. The book's extensive
appendices provide fascinating additional information, including
the differing roles of ghosts in the world's religions, an
exploration of out-of-body and near-death experiences, and modern
theories offered to explain ghosts by figures such as Sigmund Freud
and Carl Jung. Ghost Sightings is a thorough study of a subject
that has intrigued, amazed and terrified mankind throughout
history.
Monsters have preoccupied mankind from the earliest times: even
cave art includes animal-human monsters. Certainly monsters were
present in the ancient religions of Egypt and Mesopotamia; the Old
Testament describes the giant land and sea monsters Behemoth and
Leviathan, while in the world of Classical mythology, monsters
embody the fantasies of the gods and the cruellest punishments of
human beings. While we may no longer worry about being eaten by
trolls on the way home, there remains a fascination with these
creatures who have shadowed us throughout history. This book
explores monsters down the ages and throughout the world. It
provides a dark yet engrossing visual history of the human mind,
lit up by flashes of wild and unearthly inspiration.

Witches and Warlocks of New York is a collection of legends and
historical accounts about witches and warlocks from the Empire
State. This will be the second in a series (the first being
Massachusetts publishing September 1, 2021). New York has a
surprisingly rich history of witches and witchcraft. These stories
are known locally in the towns where they occurred but have never
been collected into one book before. Included are a history and
origins of witchcraft in New York State and historical tales of
"witches" across the state including Hulda and the thirteen Witches
of the Catskills.
Perfect for Witches who are ready to dive into the paranormal, this
book helps you understand how hauntings work and prepares you for
eerie situations you might encounter. As a Witch, your ability to
manipulate energy allows you to interact with ghosts in ways that
other investigators can't. You can use this skill to identify and
resolve the four main classes of haunting residual, poltergeist,
human earthbound, and inhuman entity. J. Allen Cross covers haunted
homes, paranormal investigation, psychic senses, mediumship,
protection techniques, and the nature of matter. You will learn how
to craft a seal, open and close portals, perform an exorcism, and
help spirits cross over. This book shows you how to make the most
of your talents so you can bring peace to restless spirits and
those they haunt.
Examines the role that machines play in the struggle between
"spiritual man" and "mechanical man" throughout the ages * Explores
how we naturally project consciousness onto machines and how this
is reflected in human culture, science, artificial intelligence,
and literature * Demonstrates a direct connection between
consciousness and the history of machines in American history *
Looks at the contributions and influence of Grace Hopper, Richard
Feynman, Philip K. Dick, Nikola Tesla, Thomas Edison, Elon Musk,
David Bohm, Norbert Wiener, and Steve Jobs as well as the Nag
Hammadi Gnostic gospels Humans invented and constructed machines to
aid them as far back as the Stone Age. As the machines became more
complex, they became extensions of the body and mind, and we
naturally began projecting consciousness onto them. As Luke Lafitte
shows in detail, although machines complicate the already
complicated issue of identity, because they are "ours" and "of us,"
they are part of our spiritual development. In this sweeping
exploration of the history of the machine as a tool, as a
transpersonal object to assist human activity, and as a
transitional artifact between spirits and the humans who interact
with them, Lafitte examines the role that machines play in the
struggle between "spiritual man" and "mechanical-man" throughout
history. He interprets the messages, archetypes, and language of
the unconscious in the first popular stories related to
mechanical-men, and he demonstrates a direct connection between
consciousness and the history of machines in American history,
specifically between the inventors of these machines and the
awakening of our imaginations and our powers of manifestation. He
examines the influence of Philip K. Dick, Nikola Tesla, Thomas
Edison, Grace Hopper, Richard Feynman, Elon Musk, David Bohm, and
others and shows how the Nag Hammadi gospels explain how we can
take back our myth and spirit from the machine. Although the term
mechanical-man is a catch-all phrase, Lafitte shows that the term
is also a meeting ground where extra-dimensional communications
between different forms of matter occur. Every machine, android,
robot, and cyborg arose from consciousness, and these
mechanical-men, whether real or fictive, offer us an opportunity to
free ourselves from enslavement to materialism and awaken our
imaginations to create our own realities.
