Suppose you could communicate with a visitor who was not from this
place, time-space or even this dimension? What would you want to
ask them? The answers probably lie in what our own response would
be if we were them. This book is based on a collection of
interviews I have had with a few individuals who may have actually
had such an experience. The idea is that if enough of us are ready
to ask the questions and gain the answers, then our collective
knowledge and understanding of the “ multiverse” about us can only
continue to be enhanced. Sometimes the responses that you will read
here are similar; often they are diametrically opposed to each
other. An open but highly skeptical mind is extremely necessary if
you are going to sift through the data that is presented in this
book. The intent is that it should peak your curiosity to learn
more about “ visitors.” In this way, we may be better informed and
prepared, and thus in some sort of coherent shape to deal with
their arrival. If you read this book, you must be well prepared to
choose for yourself what you will or will not believe.
It was the summer of 1991 and the weather was hot and still.
Bernard and I sat in the shade of the back of our weekend home
making small talk. We were at the height of our careers, prominent
designers in the Canadian Fashion Industry, enjoying a fabulous
lifestyle-dinners out every night, the finest wines, expensive
watches, jewellery, and cars-everything one expects of a life of
success. We were young, attractive and madly in love with each
other. I made a move to go feed our dogs... Bernard went upstairs
to shower... and died instead. It was the day that altered both of
our lives forever. Written with the strong emotions of true love,
this story takes you on a thoughtful, spiritual journey of love
between two souls and a deep overall love of God. It is a story of
life, absolute love, and immeasurable grief. If you had never known
Shelley Wickabrod and Bernard McGee as a couple, nor felt the love
between these two souls, this story makes you feel like you have
known them all of your life... or possibly for many lives.
-Katherine Goodes, Editor, MyEditor.ca This is a story of
uncompromising and unconditional love... Shelley Wickabrod writes a
compelling story that will touch us all. It reads like a movie.

Step into Stephen Fry’s richly colourful world of magic, mayhem, monsters and maniacal gods in MYTHOS: THE ILLUSTRATED STORY . . .
No one loves and quarrels, desires and deceives as boldly or brilliantly as Greek gods and goddesses.
In Stephen Fry's vivid retelling, we gaze in wonder as wise Athena is born from the cracking open of the great head of Zeus and follow doomed Persephone into the dark and lonely realm of the Underworld. We shiver in fear when Pandora opens her jar of evil torments and watch with joy as the legendary love affair between Eros and Psyche unfolds.
Mythos: The Illustrated Story captures these extraordinary myths for our modern age in striking colour - in all their dazzling and deeply human relevance.
The Uncensored Word - GOD'S GIFT is about my exposure to the
supernatural world. A world I have been some what silent about for
most of my life. I have never felt truly comfortable in talking
about my exposure. Always striving to maintain my composure in
hopes of learning more from each event. I'm telling my story now
because I realize I was given a gift. To explain my gift, I must
now expose my supernatural experiences. GOD's GIFT is the first of
three books. D. J. Bahr
This book takes an unusual slant on life, both from a socioeconomic
and cultural standpoint. The underlying sense of humor leans
towards Native American and the working class, you know the people
that really built America and every other country on this planet.
This being said, the reader will find a connection to the author
and this book. The book takes the reader on a journey of discovery
that opens that primal dormant eye of the hunter in all of us. The
author was raised in a couture that is rich in oral history.
Stories told around tables and campfires a couture that believes in
signs and visions both are depicted in this offering. The author
said that the family stories were wrote just like they happen only
some of the names were changed. There are strong intelligent female
characters through-out this book. The only character created was
one to help explain a dream or vision depending on ones belief
system. A vision that the author had while in the mountains. This
book asks the reader to question everything around us, some
questions are even quantum based. There is a freckle here and a
wort there but overall this book is well worth the read. You will
laugh and cry and your spirit will fly. Beneath Archers Tree has
been read by some of the smartest people in this country, some
worked for NASA, some were professors, one, is one of the author's
hero's. This hero is Russell Means the Indian activist and actor
and author of, "Where White Men Fear To Tread." A book every
American should take a moment and read. Mr. Means read a chapter
from Beneath Archers Tree, the chapter was Stain Glass Sky, he sent
a note saying how much he liked it.
Pull up a chair or gather round the campfire and get ready for
creepy tales of ghostly hauntings, eerie happenings, and other
strange occurrences under starry skies. 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.
America's oldest city, St. Augustine, has its fair share of things
that go bump in the night. With such a long and varied history,
it's no surprise that a few restless souls have stayed on long
after their lives ended.
Green Bay has always been a city with a fierce sense of tradition
complemented by a friendly atmosphere. Those qualities seem to
attract not only living visitors but also spirits of the dead. Tour
the city's haunted past with Tim Freiss as he follows the trail of
the tragic, the inexplicable and the just plain spooky. From the
desecration of the father of Wisconsin's burial spot to the winery
that was a stop on the Underground Railroad to the nightclub
haunted by a bullet-riddled love triangle, Haunted Green Bay stirs
up the kind of history that keeps us awake a little bit longer once
the lights are out.
'A fascinating testimony to our nervous hunger to map the hazy, haunted territory at the edges of the rational... engrossing, entertaining and distinctly unsettling' Sarah Waters 'Shiversomely eerie... so impressive in its research and remarkable in all it uncovers' Tom Holland Late one evening the telephone rings, and on the line is a stranger. They tell you that your nine-year-old son gave them your number. Your heart stops. You tell them that your son has been dead for almost 20 years. They know this, they say. He wants you to come and see him. What do you do when reality begins to fray around you? Where do you go when science cannot explain your experiences? The Society for Psychical Research was founded in 1882 to tackle these very questions and to shine light on the shadowy world of the supernatural. Distinguished members have included prime ministers and Nobel Prizewinning scientists. But the most prolific of all the SPR's paranormal investigators was a young British naval officer named Tony Cornell. A rationalist and a sceptic he became haunted by a wartime encounter in India that changed everything . Between 1950 and 2010 he became perhaps the world's most prolific investigator of psychic phenomena and paranormal events. Alongside his colleague, the psychologist Alan Gauld, they combined the roles of detectives, exorcists and psychiatrists, returning time and again to the unsettling spaces that exist on the very periphery of our tidy, rational lives: Ghosts. Poltergeists. Psychic powers. Drawing on a previously untapped archive of Cornell's case files, which survive as a unique repository of encounters reported by ordinary people, Chasing the Dark is the compelling story of our relationship with the supernatural. What do these atmospheric and often chilling cases teach us about who we are, and the anxieties that consume us? And why do the dead still find ways to make themselves known?
From the phantom pig at the Minnesota State Fair to the ghostly
gangsters of the Wabasha Street Caves, St. Paul bristles with
haunted history. Let the spectral usher of the Mounds Theatre show
you to your seat as Chad Lewis reveals why the bits of St. Paul's
past that insist on intruding on the present deserve to have their
stories told. By the time the lights come back on, you will be
convinced that sometimes the strangest things have happened in the
dorm room upstairs . . . or the table next to you at your favorite
restaurant...or even in your own backyard.
