All of my books, and in particular Sixty Psychic Years, relate my
concerns for Earth, its inhabitants and the creatures on it.
Listening to the various scientific bodies located around our
world, I contemplate their submissions of doom. The diversity of
opinion seems, at times, contradictory, and yet as Earth reveals in
her changing moods a threat to humanity's future, the majority of
us continue to ignore her warning. There are two over-powering
reasons that should influence us to pause and rethink the strategy
to live our lives here. First is the transient aspect of it,
second, our inevitable transition into the next world when it ends.
'Sixty Psychic Years' describes a life-time of psychic experiences
I have witnessed both from seances, held by my mother; a practicing
spiritual medium over that period, and many inexplicable events
that have occurred throughout my life.
Nantucket Island has just more than 10,000 year-round residents --
and a sizeable population of very real ghosts. The 44 tales in this
book were collected as oral history. Some of these spirits are
benign, even protective; others terrorize the humans who encounter
them. All are memorable.
IF UFOS DON'T EXIST, THEN THEY CAN'T CRASH. But something did crash
near Corona, a tiny town not far from Roswell, New Mexico, in 1947.
And that crash has been dissected and debated ever since.
Aviation/science writer Don Berliner and nuclear physicist Stanton
Friedman, the original civilian investigator of the so-called
Roswell incident, have delved into the controversy to find the
truth. They sifted through once-classified government documents,
interviewed military and civilian witnesses, pieced together
evidence, considered alternative theories, and concluded that a UFO
crashed near Corona-and the U.S. government knew it and covered it
up. Crash at Corona proves that what was found in the New Mexico
desert wasn't a weather balloon or a secret weapon-it was a UFO.
"One of the more credible books arguing the existence of
UFOs...Most arresting of all is the testimony of those who handled
the debris, who had no opportunity to compare notes, yet have
described the materials ...in almost identical
language."-Publishers Weekly DON BERLINER has written more than 300
magazine articles and 25 books on aviation history and space and
was also a staff writer for the National Investigations Committee
on Aerial Phenomena (NICAP). He is board chairman of the non-profit
Fund for UFO Research, Inc., and is a delegate to the UFO Research
Coalition. STANTON T. FRIEDMAN is a nuclear physicist who has
worked for General Electric, General Motors, Westinghouse, and
other corporations. He is also the author of TOP SECRET/MAJIC and
has appeared on Larry King, Unsolved Mysteries, and Nightline, and
was involved with the documentaries UFOs Are Real and Flying
Saucers Are Real. He was the final speaker at the fiftieth
anniversary conference at the International UFO Museum and Research
Center at Roswell, and has given more than 700 lectures on the
subject of UFOs.

Because Door County received its name from "Death's Door," the
perilous strait with more freshwater shipwrecks than anywhere else
in the world, it should be no surprise that the idyllic county has
plenty of ghostly history. In the company of storyteller Gayle
Soucek, meet lighthouse keepers whose sense of duty extends beyond
the grave. Catch a glimpse of the phantom ship Le Griffon, never
seen for more than a moment since it sailed through a crack in the
ice in 1679. And it is not just the waters of Door County that
carry the freight of haunted tales--Country Road T has its share of
spooks, bizarre beasts have caused disturbances in the woods and
there are whispered rumors that infamous gangster Al Capone added
to the county's stock of ghosts through a handful of brutal
murders, including an ex-girlfriend and two unacknowledged
children.

It was the winter of 1947 when C. David Priest, then five years
old, first hears his aunt Rosalee tell the vivid and frightening
story of the Whippanini man, a strange presence that only comes out
when darkness falls. Terrified and curious all at the same time, it
is later that same night after David falls asleep that he sees the
Whippanini man for the first time, forever transforming his
innocent life.
As the spectral presence haunts David in his sleep, his aunt
relays more stories that cause him to begin to question everything
in his life-and all who have passed away before him, including a
cousin reported to have looked just like David. But at night,
nothing can stop Whippanini from invading David's dreams, at least
temporarily, and seemingly warning him of tragic events about to
occur. As the years pass and Whippanini disappears, David wonders
if the presence was just a figment of his childhood imagination.
Little does he know that the Whippanini man is about to make his
presence known again.
"The Whippanini Man" shares one man's struggle with a fearful
manifestation as he walks back into his past and he hopes to find
his true self.

For years, scientists and researchers have studied, speculated about, and searched for an enigmatic creature that is legendary in the annals of American folklore. Now, learn the truth about... BIGFOOT! In this fascinating and comprehensive look at the fact, fiction, and fable of the North American "Sasquatch," award-winning author Loren Coleman takes readers on a journey into America's biggest mystery -- could an unrecognized "ape" be living in our midst? Drawing on over forty years of investigations, interviews, and fieldwork on these incredible beasts, Coleman explores the modern debates about these powerful, ape-like creatures, why they have remained a mystery for so long, and what we can learn about ourselves from these animals, our nearest cousins! From reports of Bigfoot's existence found in ancient Native American traditions, to the controversial Patterson-Gimlin film of a Bigfoot in the wild, to today's Internet sites that record the sightings almost as soon as they occur, Coleman uncovers the past, explains the present, and considers the future of one of the greatest unsolved mysteries in the natural world.
