Baker D. Dr THE PHENOMENA OF MATERIALISATION 1981 Pb 68pp Larger format b&w photographs slightly soiled on some tops of pages o/w G+ £3. When extraordinary things are observed each eye witness' account assumes importance. Sometimes one witness will fill a gap in his story of events that others have left out. The author has travelled to different parts of the world, to hear the views and opinions expressed by scores of observers and to examine carefully the evidence of their photographs and testimonies. Some of the author's conclusions are more occult or esoteric than those of spiritualists, but they are just as sincere and well intended. The part played by the thousands of sitters at materialisation seances is indispensible. In most instances their patient devotion made phenomena possible. Materialisation is but one of the many ways in which a soul may express itself.

Ball P. JACK THE RIPPER - A PSYCHIC INVESTIGATION - THE COMPELLING PARANORMAL SEARCH FOR THE KILLER'S TRUE IDENTITY Index 1998 Hb 192pp Dw b&w photographs Some slight tanning on page ends o/w VG+ £5. This book is different from all the other books on the "first serial killer" by giving a completely new dimension to the insights into the main characters of the drama. Using her psychic skills the authoress is able to revisit the scenes of the "horrible murders" which took place in the autumn of 1888 and to make contact with the people and events at the centre of the nightmare. Piecing together key facts from research over the years by other Jack the Ripper investigators and adding to them her own often startling conclusions, Pamela Ball has created a fascinating record of her voyage into the unknown. Each murder was an event in its own right, and yet it seems that each was also part of a web of intrigue, poverty and deception. The process of investigation itself is an unfolding adventure that draws us ever nearer to the solution of a riddle that has perplexed and transfixed the world for over a century - who was Jack the Ripper?

In 1943 a destroyer at the Philadelphia Naval Yard was made to disappear for several minutes in an "electronic camouflage" experiment. The crew either fell ill, or went mad, or died. Officially, the experiment has never taken place. In this book, eyewitness accounts have been gathered together: people have wanted to talk. People have died mysteriously. The secret behind the experiment? Magnetism. We know less about this than any other natural force. Its power, when intensified as in the Philadelphia Experiment, may shoot solid objects and human beings into other dimensions. Some of the crew even said that they had passed into other worlds and seen and spoken to strange beings: what is known is that serious, deleterious effects resulted.

The anecdotal material in this book is absolutely fascinating.

Daniken E. Von MIRACLES OF THE GODS - A HARD LOOK AT THE SUPERNATURAL (Translated from the German by Michael Heron) Souvenir Press 1975 1st GB Ed Hb 219pp Illus b&w photographs Dw VG £5. The author visited many places that have become the shrines of countless pilgrims after visions have been sighted there. Fascinated with the phenomenon for over 10 years he has collected evidence from Montichiari in Italy, Lourdes in France, Heroldsbach in Germany, Guadalupe in Equador, Concepcion in Chile and countless other places. He looks for clues in the mystery of water divining (why are visions so often accompanied by magic springs?), in the recent medical applications of Bio-feedback, among modern scientific theories on the nature of space and time, mind and matter. His conclusion, that there may be a "psycho feedback", a "plug-in" to a mind dimension outside our present concept of space and time, that in turn releases natural powers of self healing, will intrigue all those who, like the author, love a mystery, a conundrum of nature. This book offers to readers an irresistible confrontation with traditional ways of thinking, particularly to those within established religions.

In this book are gathered a few of the stories which form part of the richly diversified ghost-lore of England.

Some concern ghosts who once haunted our shores and have now passed to their rest; some deal with modern instances of ghosts recently seen. All have been told and believed by the people of England at some time or another and have enriched our lives with terror and romance.

How do we explain cases like the girl who lost her gold watch only to find it five years later, at the same spot, in perfect condition?

What do we make of the parallel lives of two American presidents who were both shot dead under circumstances that mirrored one another? Is it "mere" coincidence? This book explores over 100 stories like these, many of them contemporary, demonstrating what a strange world we inhabit. There seems to be forces at work we do not fully comprehend, which fly in the face of science and reason. This book, like the hit TV series it accompanies, is not only concerned with coincidence. It also highlights those special events which defy the norm. If you want proof of the mysteries and miracles that affect our daily lives then this is the book for you!

Now in this ground-breaking book, the author produces startling new evidence that the hitherto unsolved Ripper murders were in fact the culmination of a full-scale cover-up organised at the highest level of government and extending to the monarchy itself.

MacKenzie A. APPARITIONS & GHOSTS Arthur Baker Ltd 1971 1st Ed Hb 176pp Dw G Contents VG £8. Are ghosts and apparitions simply the products of a vivid imagination? Many people believe that this is the only logical way to look at the strange happenings reported to physical researchers.

Maple E. THE REALM OF GHOSTS Pan 1967 Pb 207pp Illustrated Page ends tanned o/w G+ £3. For thousands of years in activities have been observed and recorded by generation upon generation of competent witnesses, and purely on statistical grounds alone the case for its existence has been securely established. Among those who have actually seen it have been kings, prime ministers, lords, nobles and commoners. Distinguished scientists have been terrified by it grave prelates have watched with apprehension its progress through their bedchambers, lesser clerics have exorcised it, and curates have held conversations with it. Granted the existence of the ghost it seems only logical that some attempt should be made to understand the character and role of the vast army of phantoms in our midst, and to attempt to discover the reason for their existence. Long ago the author read a macabre tale of the childhood of Thomas de Quincey. It seems that his elder brother often terrified the children of the household with a dreadful saga of ghost stories based upon the theme that the world of the living was a tiny garrison under ceaseless attack from the countless legions of the dead. This grim army was eternally engaged in a series of terror raids with the object of overcoming the citadel of life and establishing in its place the Kingdom of Ghosts. In this book, the author has tried to tell the story of that invasion, its impact upon men and women of all ages.

Marvels & Mysteries STRANGE TALENTS Parrallel 1995 Pb 112pp Well Illus VG £4. This is a book about people with special talents - not especially good or especially bad, but different. In these pages, you will find men and women who can tune in to dead composers or take up a long-dead artist brushes; others who can heal or destroy at a distance, perform surgery without cutting, and walk through flames without even being singed; and yet others who can solve mysteries, communicate at a distance, and move or alter matter using nothing but the power of their own minds. All of these people have one thing in common; their talents. The majority of them are ordinary enough, apart from their extraordinary talents,to make us wonder about the possibility of untapped potential in the minds of every one of us.

Moss P. GHOSTS OVER BRITAIN - TRUE ACCOUNTS OF MODERN HAUNTINGS BCA 1977 Hb 1st Ed 173pp Larger format Dw slight tear at bottom right hand corner o/w VG Illus b&w photographs VG £5. Are ghosts a thing of the past, or do spirits still roam the British Isles? Through original research, Peter Moss has found that ghosts are being seen, heard and felt as much as ever. Indeed, hauntings may even be on the increase. The sixty accounts in this volume are true experiences, sincerely related to Peter Moss by witnesses. These modern ghosts, such as the strangling ghost of Aberdeen, the hitch-hiking phantom of the A38 and the vicious poltergeist of Coventry, are very difficult from the old idea of the ghost in a white sheet dragging chains around a medieval castle. The ghost of the seventies appears in modern dress and in modern places such as council houses, modern flats - even a public lavatory! The hauntings take place all over the British Isles and were experienced by all sorts of people - housewives, old-age pensioners, lawyers, rich men, poor men, old and young... the one common feature of each is the sincerity with which they believe their experiences. This volume includes many photographs taken specially for this book and 40 amazing illustrations by Angela Lewer, drawn from descriptions given by the people who saw the ghosts.

Pedler K. MIND OVER MATTER - A SCIENTIST'S VIEW OF THE PARANORMAL Thames Methuen 1981 1st Ed 189pp Illus Dw G-VG £5. The author is unusually well qualified to take the critical but open-minded approach that a study of the paranormal needs. Trained in medicine, with a second doctorate for his work on the eye, he has also worked on computer simulation of brain cells and written several documentaries for television about science subjects. This book stems from the research that he did for the Thames Television series of the same name, which he wrote and presented. This book is about unusual connections between the human mind and the outside world. It stems from the voyage of discovery through the "new" physics, which the author embarked upon for Thames Television series. One eye takes in the beauties of the universe for our mind to delight in, our hands sense the coolness of the grass, and we can effortlessly enjoy the scent of roses in the evening. But some people claim to have entirely different connections with the world around them. Some say they can see directly into the future, or discover what someone else is experiencing miles away. Because the abilities claimed cannot involve any of the ordinary senses, they are called "extra-sensory" and since they also involve a kind of perception, they are sometimes called "extra-sensory perception". So for nearly 20 years the author occupied his research as a biological reductionist believing that his painstaking research would eventually reveal ultimate truths. Then he began to read the new physics. The experience was shattering. This book describes his fascinating account of his investigations.

Sampson C. GHOSTS OF THE BROADS Jarrold 1976 Pb 173pp Larger format Illus G £3. As is well known, the periodicity of apparitions comes around with extraordinary accuracy, definite manifestations occurring on certain days, such as St Mark's Day, 5 March, St Anthony's Day, 13 June, and All Hallows E'en, 31 October. I would like to remind readers that all apparitions are not perceptible to everybody. Some physically sensitive people can see them, but not necessarily all of them. This is due to the fact that certain perceptions can only "tune-in", as in radon, to certain wave-lengths or vibrations, just as only certain ears are capable of hearing certain sounds, whilst others suffering from note deafness are incapable of receiving the vibrations of particular notes. The author has chosen some data during a period of 25 years for your delectation and prays that your acceptance in the same good faith with which these chronicles are offered for the first time in collected form.

This book traces the history of mysteries and superstitions, miracles and mysticism, magic and wizardry.

Why do reports of miraculous and unnatural events persist in an age when scientific rationality dominates our lives? Do modern urban myths do for us what the tales of the Odyssey and Iliad did for the ancient Greeks? This book provides the first truly accessible, thoroughly documented analysis of the supernatural. This book is published in conjunction with the television series, "Divine Magic" made for Channel Four.

Time-Life Books MYSTERIES OF THE UNKNOWN - PSYCHIC POWERS Time-Life Books 1989 Hb 151pp Well illus in b&w and colour G-VG £6. In the world of everyday existence, the five senses reign, but their powers are sharply limited. We perceive the universe in glimpses through narrow portals, acquiring our knowledge by sight, hearing, smell, taste and touch. But what if knowledge has wider gateways and thresholds? What if, beyond vision, humans have another way of seeing? All over the world from time immemorial, some people have been called gifted with what is known as second sight, the third eye, the sixth sense - powers of the mind that seem to bypass the usual sensory channels and transcend mundane reality. Shamans have communed with their gods, saints have seen visions, oracles have foretold the deaths of kings. And from time to time, ordinary people have felt a moment's slippage into the explicable and uncanny. Researchers have begun trying to codify psychic experiences. Among the categories are clairvoyance, telepathy, precognition and retrocognition. For years, such experiences have been claimed and studied. But they have not, as yet, been fully explained.

Time-Life Books MYSTERIES OF THE UNKNOWN -VISIONS AND PROPHECIES Time-Life Books 1988 Hb 149pp Well illus in colour and b&w photographs VG £6. For most people, the godlike ability to foresee tomorrow has always seemed to hang, tantalizingly, just out of reach. Lacking prophetic vision, many have turned to divination - the art of discovering hidden knowledge through the interpretation of omens and symbols. Humanity's attempts to know the unknowable by such means are reflected in some of its earliest artifacts. It is not the present but the future that holds the greatest allure for would be soothsayers. And they are not interested in just any future, but in the fascinating matter of human fate - be it the destiny of an individual or of a nation. Among the categories are Omens and Auguries, Body Languages and Symbolic Guides to Fate.

Tutt H. TRUE LIFE ENCOUNTERS - Unexplained Natural Phenomena Orion Media Pb 285pp Larger format Inscribed on first page by previous owner o/w VG £3. We live in an era of conservative science: there seems to be little serious attention paid to events which defy conventional explanation. And yet a wealth of unexplained phenomena persist: from sightings of the Loch Ness Monster and Bigfoot, to reports of spontaneous human combustion and ball lightning; from encounters with angels and nature spirits to experiences of telepathy and psychokinesis, things are happening to ordinary people the world over which science is powerless to explain ... yet. So what is the truth? All we can do is examine the evidence and believe or disbelieve something is out there. The Sci-Fi Channel True Life Encounters is a new series of books written and compiled under the guidance of renowned ufologist John Spencer. Classic and new accounts are objectively investigated and reported to let you, the reader, make up your own mind. We are all afraid of the unknown - it is programmed into our very cells to be so. This instinctive fear is the reason we have survived as a species; by being alert to new dangers, new threats, new opportunities. We have needed this fear to keep us safe - while our need to survive has been stronger and more important than our need for truth. After all, who cares how many planets fill the skies when the wolf is howling at the cave mouth? Many of us in the modern world are now fortunate to have solved some of the basic problems of survival; when food is short we can go shopping, not hunting; when water runs dry we turn on a tap; when our fires go out, we can always switch them back on. This, we understand, is called civilization. And if civilization brings anything worth having, it is the opportunity to make the search for truth more important than the desire for survival and comfort. It brings hope that we can find answers to our deepest and strangest questions about our world, our universe, and the unexplained natural phenomena that fill them. This is not a book about easy answers. It is a book for those who want to do the searching for themselves, because in the end, the real search for truth never stops. If we ever reach a point where we think we have reached the truth.. then we just stopped looking. I don't know whether every word in this book is true. The phenomenon described here are certainly real to the people who experienced and reported them. Just because we were not all there at the time, does not mean the experiences are not true. It also does mean they are true. In the end it is for you to decide ... or not decide.

Welfare S & Fairley J. ARTHUR C CLARKE'S MYSTERIOUS WORLD BCA 1981 Hb 311pp (Dw slightly creased o/w G) Illus Contents VG+ £5. Beyond the world we can quantify, classify and analyse there is another more mysterious world. In this book Arthur C Clarke investigates this supra-scientific world. Under his direction, the authors travelled five continents interviewing witnesses of strange and unexplained phenomena. They talked to men and women who had seen monsters from the depths of oceans and lakes, had been showered by frogs and fishes and had watched "unidentified flying objects" crossing the night sky in brilliant light; they talked to explorers and mountain people who had seen the yeti, the abominable snowman and his cousin "Bigfoot". More threatening events are also evaluated in the hope that we can glean evidence which may prevent future catastrophe. Arthur C Clarke would not wish, even if it were possible, to provide answers to all the questions posed in this book. As he writes: "The universe is such a strange and wonderful place that reality will always out-reach the wildest imagination".

Whittington-Egan R. (ED) WEEKEND BOOK OF GHOSTS Associated Newspapers Group 1975 Pb 127pp Larger format b&w photographs G+ £3. It is easy to laugh at the notion of spooks and phantoms in the tossing, shimmering sunlight of a summer afternoon. But when the world is cold and black. It is a different matter. Scepticism and high-noon courage seep away with the fading daylight. Can you say for sure that they are all imagination? You must, at some time in your life, have had the odd experience of going into a house, or perhaps a room, and suddenly for no reason that you could put your finger on, feeling uneasy, apprehensive, saying to yourself: "There is something about this place I don't like". It is as if the very air is charged with a sensation of enormous unhappiness or evil. And just sometimes - if you take the trouble to delve into its history, you may find that this has indeed been the scene of some old tragedy, some great and terrible sadness. Here in this book, you will find strange and uncanny stories told by all sorts of people, professors, scientists, doctors, clergymen - and ordinary folk who can hardly believe the weird things that happened to them. You will find too, first-hand accounts of investigations which the author carried out and which left him utterly perplexed, sure of one thing: that they really did happen. Read on and render your verdict!
