This book examines the social history of ghosts from the medieval period to the present. Belief in them has been manipulated for political and religious purposes, generated social panics and scandals, been a perennial source of literary inspiration and learned investigation. Underpinning Davies' approach is the awareness that for all the intellectual and scientific advances of the last five centuries the belief in ghosts continues to be vibrant and socially relevant. Understanding the history of ghosts helps explain why we continue to feel haunted by the people of the past.

"LORD, I know that people's lives are not their own; it is not for them to direct their steps.

Truth has little to do with what people believe, but that profound statement did not enter Jessica Flannery's sixteen-year-old mind when she saw something outside her window one evening that she would never forget. She had no idea, until nearly twenty years later, that the event was only a prelude of the future.

In her memoir There is No Edge, Jessica chronicles an abusive childhood where she attempts to make the best out of her life, knowing that nothing out of the ordinary ever happens in Garrison, Michigan-until the evening of December 6, 1968. Suddenly without warning as the interior of the house explodes into a brilliant white light, Jessica realizes she and her family have just witnessed a UFO sighting. As a series of belief-shattering events ensue that involve aliens, vision quests, shamanism, and spirit guides, Jessica learns that life is not what our government, church, schools, friends, family, or prevailing culture has taught and must reconcile the paradox in order to find happiness.

With the help of hypnosis, Jessica explores an advanced civilization that provides clues to humanity's existence and eventually comes to the optimistic conclusion that her survival may not rest entirely in the hands of humankind.

In DIMENSIONS, the first volume of a trilogy, Dr. Jacques Vallee reexamines the historical record that led to the modern UFO phenomenon and to the belief in alien contact. He then tackles the enigma of abduction reports, which come from various times and various countries, as well as the psychic and spiritual components of the contact experience. In the last portion of the book, he notes the factors that inhibit research into the phenomenon--the triple coverup and political motivations--and concludes that the extraterrestrial theory is simply not strange enough to explain the facts.

What if the "aliens" are not from other planets? In THE CRYPTOTERRESTRIALS, Mac Tonnies proposes that at least some accounts of alien visitation can be attributed to a humanoid species indigenous to the Earth, a sister race that has adapted to our numerical superiority by developing a surprisingly robust technology. At the same time, this groundbreaking work attempts to reconcile the mythological and contemporary accounts of "little people" into a coherent picture. "For too long, we've called them 'aliens, ' assuming that we represent our planet's best and brightest," writes Tonnies. "Maybe that's exactly what they want us to think."
