Salt Publishing Seahurst
Book SynopsisEvie Meyer and her son Alfie flee from her abusive partner Seth to spend New Year with her half-brother Luke at their late father's summer home on the Suffolk Coast, only to find Seahurst abandoned and Luke missing. Evie searches for her brother, filled with a deepening dread that something is very wrong at Seahurst and their father's death may not have been suicide after all. As Seahurst's ancient and sinister secrets unfurl around her, Evie fears the souls of the dead will soon claim another terrible revenge.Trade ReviewI absolutely raced through this, completely gripped by the present day horrors faced by Evie and Alfie: uncertainty, loss, grief, and an all too believably manipulative and controlling man. Seahurst itself is a wonderful creation; beautiful, sinister, gleamingly modern, and built on the bones of a terrible tragedy. Highly recommended. -- Amanda Mason, author of The Wayward Girls and The Hiding PlaceSeahurst is everything a dark and chilling gothic ghost story should be. And I loved it * Cal Turner Reviews *Seahurst is an excellent gothic read. * Short Book and Scribes *Seahurst is a gripping, dark, spooky novel that had me turning the pages and devouring it in a matter of days. * JudeFire33 – The Book Blog *Sally Harris’s new book Seahurst, which is a truly sinister, shadowy, scintillating, and scarily sublime modern gothic read … that will thrill and terrify you all at once. * The Fallen Librarian *This is a gripping and atmospheric tale. The Suffolk setting is powerful and the characters are well drawn with all the different elements of the plot sensitively handled. I thought it was great and was sorry when it came to an end – though I took care not to read it late at night, or in a strange place. * More About Books *

Inner Traditions Bear and Company Secret Journey to Planet Serpo: A True Story of
Book SynopsisOn July 16, 1965, a massive alien spacecraft from the Zeta Reticuli star system landed at the Nevada test site north of Las Vegas. Following a plan set in motion by President Kennedy in 1962, the alien visitors known as the Ebens welcomed 12 astronaut-trained military personnel aboard their craft for the 10-month journey to their home planet, Serpo, 39 light-years away. In November 2005, former and current members of the Defense Intelligence Agency--directed by Kennedy to organize the Serpo exchange program--came forward to reveal the operation, including details from the 3,000-page debriefing of the 7 members of the Serpo team who returned after 13 years on the planet. Working with the DIA originators of the Serpo project and the diary kept by the expedition’s commanding officer, Len Kasten chronicles the complete journey of these cosmic pioneers, including their remarkable stories of life on an alien planet, superluminal space travel, and advanced knowledge of alien technologies. He reveals how the Ebens presented the U.S. with “The Yellow Book”--a complete history of the universe recorded holographically, allowing the reader to view actual scenes from pre-history to the present. He explains how the Ebens helped us reverse-engineer their antigravity spacecraft and develop technology to solve our planet-wide energy problems--knowledge still classified. Exposing the truth of human-alien interaction and interplanetary travel, Kasten reveals not only that the Ebens have returned to Earth eight times but also that our government continues to have an ongoing relationship with them--a relationship with the potential to advance the human race into the future.Trade Review“I cannot overemphasize the importance of this book. Kasten has cast the bright light of scholarship on a subject that cries for understanding and will change our world and everything that we have come to believe about ourselves and our place in the universe. The shocking truth is, we are not alone and have never been alone.” * Robert O. Dean, Command Sgt. Major, U.S. Army, retired *“Len Kasten’s work is abundant ad infinitum with similar and truthful mind bending revelations known only to insiders; this is a monumental accomplishment. No Ufology’s library is complete without Secret Journey to Planet Serpo. The book is a masterpiece!! Rating: 5 Stars all the way.” * Art, UFOs, and Supernatural Magazine, August 2013 *“Secret Journey to Planet Serpo was a ‘mind-blower’ for me. A well-written, easy read, with numerous b&w illustrations and 27 colour plates, I think it will test your powers for discerning its credibility and make you begin to wonder what else of monumental importance is being withheld from the citizens of earth.” * Alan Glassman, New Dawn, November 2013 *Table of ContentsIntroduction Part One Prelude 1 Germany 2 Antarctica 3 Roswell 4 Los Alamos 5 Kingman 6 Kennedy Part Two Project Crystal Knight 7 Selection and Training 8 The Landings 9 The Voyage 10 Arrival 11 Adjustment 12 Confrontation 13 A Police State 14 Feast, Fun, and Death 15 Exploration 16 The Return Part Three Epilogue 17 Eben Technology 18 The Movie Appendices 1 Team Training Curriculum 2 Supplies and Equipment 3 Serpo Statistics 4 Serpo Planetary Motion and Time Measurement Comments 5 The Eben Energy Device: The Crystal Rectangle 6 The Eben Propulsion System 7 Eben Religious Beliefs 8 The Defense Intelligence Agency by Victor Martinez 9 Deep Space Probes 10 Back-Engineered Alien Craft: A Disclosure Project Statement 11 Excerpt from President Reagan’s Briefing of March 1981 12 A Framework for Public Acclimation 13 Serpo Team Debriefing Film Narration

The History Press Ltd The South Shields Poltergeist
Book SynopsisOne of the most significant cases in the last fifty years, The South Shields Poltergeist is a true and terrifying account detailing a family's brave fight against an invisible intruder.This intense, protracted and well-documented encounter spanning 200506 is said to be one of the best cases of its kind, and is certain to go down in the annals of psychical research. Objects moved on their own, carving knives were thrown around, coins appeared in mid-air before being thrown to the floor, sinister text messages were sent by the poltergeist, apparitions were seen, and a number of physical assaults took place on one unfortunate householder. Now, fifteen years on, this new and updated edition includes the original case review, which was first published in the Journal of the Society for Psychical Research in 2010. It contains a preface by Alan Murdie, and a new chapter that was originally omitted from previous editions.Based on the testimonies of those who experienced it first hand, The South Shields Poltergeist is a chilling reminder that reality is not what we think it is.Trade ReviewBooks about poltergeist cases written by those who were there and witnessed some of the action are very rare. Investigators who witnessed as much as Mike and Darren did and manage to record a great deal of evidence are even rarer. This book is a welcome addition to the literature on the most bewildering phenomena we are ever likely to encounter. -- Guy Lyon PlayfairIf events happened as alleged, it was reasoned there would be a considerable quantity of documentary, photographic and other evidence available that would be consistent with the claims made in the book. This proved to be the case – I am of the opinion the South Shields poltergeist joins a small but significant collection of spontaneous cases where credible evidence has been obtained by investigators whilst disturbances were still occurring. -- Alan Murdie LLB

Reaktion Books Ghosts: A Haunted History
Book SynopsisIn the history of the numinous there are few things more common than the belief in ghosts. From the earliest writings such as the Epic of Gilgamesh to today's ghost-hunting reality TV shows, ghosts have chilled the air of nearly every era and every culture in human history. In this book, now available in B-format paperback, Lisa Morton wrangles together history's most enduring ghosts into an entertaining and comprehensive look at what otherwise seems to always evade our eyes.Trade Review'Lisa Morton's brisk, handsomely illustrated Ghosts: A Haunted History canters through millennia of supposed uncanny interruptions with a kind of puckish scepticism ... Morton excels at presenting us with instances of the persistence of belief, across all times and cultures ... there are moments all the same when the hint of something truly uncanny is permitted to intrude.' - TLS; 'Halloween isn't the only time for ghosts and ghost stories ... Lisa Morton offers a compact account of the human propensity to believe in otherworldly apparitions. She discusses, among other matters, haunted houses, spiritualism, ghost-hunting, "Day of the Dead" and spectral terrors in literature, film and popular culture. To give body and shape to these phantoms and airy nothings, Morton packs her book with images - of paintings, creepy spirit photographs, movie stills and even a full-page illustration of Casper the Friendly Ghost.' - Michael Dirda, Washington Post; 'This year's Halloween has passed, but for many the interest in things that go bump in the night is alive and well. From classic ghost stories told around a campfire to the slew of recent ghost hunting TV shows, ghosts have been the most prevalent otherworldly beings around for years. Luckily for those of us who love a good ghost story, Lisa Morton has written the ultimate guide on the shadowy superstars of the supernatural realm.' - PopMatters; 'Ghosts is intelligent and well structured. It's also well informed, which is apparent in the sheer volume of spectral examples that Morton has collected, yet her writing style remains accessible ... the perfect companion for those who err towards skepticism over embellishment, yet still find themselves riddled in goose-pimples when they hear a creak in the floorboards in the dead of night.' - Rue Morgue magazine

Inner Traditions Bear and Company Demons and Spirits of the Land: Ancestral Lore
Book SynopsisOur pagan ancestors knew that every forest has brownies and fairies, every spring its lady, and every river malevolent beings in its depths. They told tales of giants in the hills, dragons in the lakes, marshes swarming with will-o'-the-wisps, and demons and wild folk in the mountains who enjoyed causing landslides, avalanches, and floods. They both feared and respected these entities, knowing the importance of appeasing them for safe travel and a prosperous homestead. Exploring medieval stories, folk traditions, spiritual place names, and pagan rituals of home building and site selection, Claude Lecouteux reveals the multitude of spirits and entities that once inhabited the land before modern civilization repressed them into desert solitude, impenetrable forests, and inaccessible mountains. He explains how, to our ancestors, enclosing a space was a sacred act. Specific rites had to be performed to negotiate with the local spirits and ensure proper placement and protection of a new building. These land spirits often became the household spirit, taking up residence in a new building in exchange for permission to build on their territory. Lecouteux explores Arthurian legends, folk tales, and mythology for evidence of the untamed spirits of the wilderness, such as giants, dragons, and demons, and examines the rites and ceremonies used to gain their good will. Lecouteux reveals how, despite outright Church suppression, belief in these spirits carried through to modern times and was a primary influence on architecture, an influence still visible in today's buildings. The author also shows how our ancestors' concern for respecting nature is increasingly relevant in today's world.Trade Review“What are the ancient mysteries of earth and water? Guided by the sure hand of Claude Lecouteux in this erudite and accessible book, we find keys to the recovery and renewed understanding of indigenous European religious traditions concerning land and water. A valuable book--highly recommended.” * Arthur Versluis, author of Sacred Earth and Religion of Light *“Demons and Spirits of the Land is a scholarly investigation of the spirits present in the traditional landscape of Europe. Claude Lecouteux explains how humans are inseparable from our surroundings: we are not the only intelligent beings, for we cohabit the Earth with other sentient entities. Traditionally, these entities manifest as land spirits who take many forms: giants, dwarves, brownies, fairies, and dragons. Present in the land, they must be dealt with if humans are to live in harmony and well-being. This book details rites and ceremonies of coming to terms with the spirits of tree and forest, spring and mountain, taken from comprehensive documentary and folklore sources, including ancient authors, Arthurian legends, medieval romances, and Norse sagas. If you want to know about the nature of land spirits and how we relate to them, this is essential reading.” * Nigel Pennick, author of The Book of Primal Signs: The High Magic of Symbols *“A superbly written treatise on the folklore of place, showing how the church has demonized once revered and respected land spirits. The setting up of high crosses, statues of saints, and the ringing of bells has been done for two thousand years to repel and control the fairies, elves, dragons, dwarves, and giants our ancestors once placated and venerated. But are we better off for all the church’s civilizing efforts? “We are now at a turning point in human history where we need to come to terms with what we have wrought. The Earth Mother has given us food, healing, and shelter, and we have abused her in return. Reading these pages we learn that the dark path through the wilderness may once again lead us to a sacred space within the forest where in respectful company with the ancient deities, land wight’s, and the fey, we may yet resume our ancient offerings, begin the healing, and return to harmony with all creation.” * Ellen Evert Hopman, author of A Druid’s Herbal of Sacred Tree Medicine and The Secret Medicine *Table of ContentsForeword by Régis Boyer Introduction: We Dwell in a Haunted Place Part One A Haunted Universe 1 Unusual Manifestations 2 The First Inhabitants of the Earth 3 Demons and Fallen Angels 4 Cult Remnants 5 The Local Land Spirits 6 The Underside of Idolatry 7 The Evidence of Place-Names 8 Silvanus and Company 9 The Metamorphoses of Spirits 10 A Provisional Assessment Part Two Conquering and Defending the Land 11 Encountering the Spirits of the Local Land 12 Taking Possession of a Piece of Land 13 Circumambulation: Appropriation, Expropriation, and Protection Rites 14 Boundaries and Their Markers 15 The Enclosed Space Is Sacred 16 The Contract with the Spirits 17 The Circular and the Rectangular: A Hypothesis 18 The Conquest of the Space Part Three Survivals and Transformations 19 Waters, Springs, and Fountains 20 The Forest 21 The Mountain and Its Spirits 22 The Problem of Parédrie 23 A Composite Site: The Dwelling of Grendel and His Mother 24 The Moor 25 The Hybridization of Myths 26 The Return of the Place Spirits Afterword Notes Bibliography Index

Lone Pine Publishing International Inc. Ghost Stories of Virginia
Book SynopsisVirginia''s history is as rich as it is long: the first English settlement was established at Jamestown; Cornwallis surrendered to Washington in Yorktown, effectively ending the Revolutionary War; the Civil War ended only when Richmond, the capital of the Confederacy, fell. With a history such as this, it is appropriate that the Old Dominion State has a wealth of supernatural folklore to go with it. The spine-tingling tales that make up this collection span the 400 years of Virginia''s past to its present: * The spirits of two young lovers torn apart by tragedy but reunited in death reside at the bottom of a well on one of Virginia''s first plantations. * Blackbeard may not have come back to haunt anyone, but the same cannot be said for 13 of his fellow pirates who died on Gallows Road. * Ghosts of Union soldiers killed in one of the first battles of the Civil War cannot leave the place where they died. * An encounter with a witch in the Virginia Appalachians spooks a group of campers. * The origins of the Wampus Cat, the mysterious, cat-like creature that roams the wilds of Virginia, form the basis of much speculation.
