Many people associate the term paranormal as only dealing with hauntings and ghosts. However, the paranormal also includes subjects considered to be outside the scope of parapsychology including UFOs, cryptozoology, telepathy, ESP, faith healing, clairvoyance, and many other subjects. We will look at all aspects of the paranormal world. From the Loch Ness monster and Bigfoot to the ghosts that still walk the battlefields of Gettysburg. We will travel through the records of some of the most famous UFO sightings and look at the strange phenomenon of Spontaneous Human Combustion, Strange animals and even the Shroud of Turin. But we will not stop there. We will journey into the parts of the unexplained that still make the most experienced paranormal investigator only stare in amazement.

Everybody loves a good mystery and sometimes the questions can be more interesting than the answers. Will Pearson investigates twenty unique mysteries with their broad spectrum of strangeness. Some, like the sudden disappearance of the sailing ship Mary Celeste's passengers and crew have gained universal currency. Was the Wow! Signal a radio transmission form deep space, or was it the ambient resonating frequency of a passing comet? Cryptids like Bigfoot and the Loch Ness Monster teeter on the boundaries of probable and improbable, hoax and reality, fact and fiction. Whether it be the intrigue of lost civilisations, like Göblekli Tepe in Turkey, sensationalist interest in The Zodiac Killer, or the elusive Shugborough Code that neither Dickens nor Darwin could crack, each unsolved mystery presents a challenge in its own way. Occasionally, it can feel as if there's a conspiracy at work - one in which scientists, journalists and 'professional explainers' want to put an end to anything and everything mysterious in life. Thankfully, not everything can be nailed down, sucked dry of its secrets and turned into a factoid. Mysteries do still exist - and continue to tease us. Sceptic or believer, the fun lies in probing them.

Thirteen Mind-Boggling Tales from Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, Massachusetts, Connecticut, and Rhode Island * Dressed in leather scraps, the Leather Man walked the same 365-mile-long route through Connecticut for more than twenty years, and his identity remained a mystery--or did it? * Dr. Timothy Clark Smith feared being buried alive, so when he dropped dead in Middlebury, Vermont, in 1893, his crypt included a window to his open casket, so passersby could raise the alarm if his worst nightmare came true! * For more than a century, people have reported seeing something they can neither identify nor explain in the waters of Lake Champlain--exactly what that something is, is the mystery. From vampires to an angel, a ghost rapper to a phantom ship, Mysteries and Legends of New England pulls back the curtain on some of the region's most fascinating and compelling stories.
