"After reading Fortean researcher Bruce Hallenbeck's book, one
instantly realizes that not only do 'monsters' exist in our
computerized world, but the Northwoods seem to be teeming with
them. From the Adirondacks and the Catskills to the depths of Lake
Champlain and the shores of Montauk--from aliens in the skies above
to gators in the sewers below--Hallenbeck takes the reader on a

The main reasons I wrote this first book is to encourage others of
a similar fate. I hope to encourage the lost and depressed in the
effort to guide them toward a bigger future without regret. For

listen. Not for money, but for the divine privilege to help them
overcome and see what a blessing they truly are. Nothing is to
great that you can not overcome through Christ.

exist in the imaginations of children and adults. I have begun
where others have ended. From the scene of the his final battle,
Arthur is taken by barge to Avalon to heal his wounds. In Avalon
Arthur becomes aware of the forces that made him King and receives
words of enlightenment that will guide his

his mind and in his soul, safe within a dream, always there to
bring forward whenever he chose." Before Arthur leaves the forest
he becomes aware of the ten life stages of man and the truth that
has always been available to those who search for
it. "The common folk, as
legend had it, believed King Arthur would return again and some say
he was sleeping in the Isle of Avalon. He was not asleep, however,
