Synopsis

The stories between the covers of this book are for those who love their tales of the weird, unusual and macabre deliciously - real. Werewolves, vampires, aliens, cryptids, and ghosts are just a few of the mysterious creatures to whom you will be introduced or reintroduced through the voices of those who have encountered them. Come join the Paranormal Journalist as she guides you through a fantastical landscape inhabited by otherworldly beings too often relegated to the dark corners of humanity’s consciousness. Read about real paranormal investigators who go places few would go to meet and communicate with the spirits of those long dead. Find out about a harbinger of doom that foretold the collapse of a superstructure and launched a legend. Learn about an organization dedicated to the pursuit of evidence of UFO abductions and visitations. Many writers conduct academic research, but Pat Bussard has also traveled to many of the locations she wrote about in this book to bring to the reader a deeper connection to these places of historical supernatural significance. She has interviewed some of the most renowned voices in the paranormal field to give readers authentic true stories of the preternatural. The book is heavily illustrated by photographs taken by the author while she was on location. Foreword by Rosemary Ellen Guiley. Hear their voices. Read the book. Know the truth.
