Kala speaks with Mary Ann Winkowski, the real GhostWhisperer, on whom the TV show Ghost Whisperer is based. Mary Ann Winkowski talks to dead people—she sees them all the time, everywhere. Her earliest memories include speaking with spirits of the deceased as if they were living people and helping these entities come to terms with their unfinished business on earth and cross over to the other side. In WHEN GHOSTS SPEAK: UNDERSTANDING THE WORLD OF EARTHBOUND SPIRITS (Grand Central Publishing mass market; October 2009) Mary Ann shares a lifetime’s worth of information about the spirit world and reveals her often surprising interactions with some memorable ghosts. Mary Ann shows the human side of the paranormal—stories about ghosts from the ghosts’ perspectives—and teaches us how we can coexist peaceably with the spirits that surround us.

Join Kala and Mary Ann as they discuss topics from Mary Ann's book including:

• The Truth About Ghosts—they do not “draw” energy from your TV or other electrical devices, they do not have ‘super powers’, they cannot walk through you and you cannot walk through them, and earthbound ghosts know that they are dead.
  
  
• Where Ghosts Congregate—contrary to popular belief, cemeteries are not the most haunted spots on earth. They will gather anywhere they are likely to find sources of emotional energy (think shopping malls, theaters, amusement parks, hospital emergency rooms)
  
  
• The White Light—this manifestation of positive energy provides an opportunity for ghosts ‘stuck’ on earth to cross over. Mary Ann is able to create it on the spot, and tells her readers how they can begin to access the special powers of this potent force.
  
  
• Why Some Souls Stay Behind—while spirits are meant to go into the Light once they leave their bodies, they often stay here for many reasons including attachments to places or things, fear of final judgment or punishment, seeking revenge or pursuing justice, or staying to protect the living
  
  
• Funerals—Mary Ann shares what ghosts do at their own wakes or funerals, what she does at these events, reveals the most common questions from the living to the deceased, and discloses the most common complaints that she hears from the dead.
  
  
• Are you Alone?—Mary Ann discusses the ways you may intentionally or unintentionally attract an earthbound spirit and details the signs that a spirit is around you
  
  
• How to Deal with Ghosts—tips and strategies for protecting yourself from the influence of earthbound spirits (for example, do not talk to or yell at the spirits as you are giving them exactly what they want—your attention and energy)

More About Mary Ann Winkowski:
Mary Ann Winkowski was born in Cleveland Ohio and has been communicating with Earthbound spirits for most of her life.

Mary Ann shares a lifetime’s worth of information about the spirit world and reveals her often surprising interactions with some memorable ghosts. Mary Ann shows the human side of the paranormal—stories about ghosts told from the perspectives of the ghosts themselves-and teaches us how we can coexist peaceably with the spirits that surround us. Unlike the sensationalized tales of most ghost lore, WHEN GHOST SPEAK presents real stories of troubled people—both the living and the dead—not simply the terror of sinister paranormal manifestations served up by the horror novels and Hollywood.

Mary Ann offers lessons on death and the immortality of the spirit that only someone who can actually speak with the deceased could teach. Her abilities have offered solace to countless people, either by reuniting them with loved ones who have died or by removing unwanted spirits and negative energy from homes, businesses or possessions.

Kala speaks with Bob Curran about his book, Werewolves; A Field Guide to Shapeshiters, Lycanthropes, and Man-Beasts. Most of us are familiar with the idea of a werewolf-that someone can change, either deliberately or unwillingly, into a ravenous creature-but is there some justification for such a belief? And if so, how is it achieved-through magical potions or ointments or simply by the light of the full moon? Or is the whole thing simply a form of delusion, the product of a disturbed mind? In Werewolves, author Dr. Bob Curran examines the deep psychological roots that underlie this profane linking of human and beast. Do the roots of such a belief lie in the supernatural world, or are there other explanations? How has the discovery of feral children shaped our ideas of human-beasts? And what is the future of such beliefs? The author also considers the use of genetic engineering-in this case, the fusing of human and animal genes-in order to cure some human diseases and alleviate suffering. Is the idea of man turning into beast really so far fetched? Werewolves is an essential reference book that takes an in-depth look at a fascinating subject. One word of warning, though: It must never be read under the baleful rays of a full moon. You have been warned!

Kala speaks with Brad Steiger about his book Real Vampires, Night Stalkers and Creatures from the Darkside. A chilling chronicle by Steiger who shares that vampires are not immortal, do not have fangs or sleep in coffins, and have no fear of sunlight or crucifixes, the examination dispels many myths but also confirms the truth behind several traits of real vampires, such as the insatiable thirst for blood and the dream of an eternal soul. Complete with 30 spine-tingling tales of the hideous wraiths and creatures that lurk in shadow, this fascinating collection includes the stories of the Mexican prostitute who mesmerized an entire village, convincing them she was an Incan goddess who required human sacrifice for her magic.

Does extraterrestrial life exist? Have alien beings actually visited Earth and, indeed, left clear traces of their visits? One man has the answer...and his son can now break the silence.

The Roswell Legacy is the story of Major Jesse Marcel, the intelligence officer for the 509th Bomber Group (famous for dropping the atomic bomb on Japan), and the first military officer to reach the scene of one of the most famous and enduring UFO events in the recorded history of mankind. This book docments the recovery of debris from the crash of an extraterrestrial craft and how the Marcel family became forever linked to the event. It details what the debris looked like, how it greatly differed from that of the "weather balloon" that was supposedly recovered, and the physical characteristics that prove it could have only come from a technology that was not available in the 1940s (or, perhaps, even now).

Kala speaks with Ryan Buell about PRS and his show, Paranormal State. PARANORMAL STATE is a half-hour series chronicling the extraordinary life of Ryan Buell and other members of the Penn State University Club The Paranormal Research Society (PRS) as they seek to find the truth behind terrifying real life mysteries, hauntings and ghosts. In some ways, the members of PRS are your basic college kids - dealing with the problems of school, dating, and finding their way in the world. The difference is that these students are drawn to examining "other" worlds as well -- working on cases that include ghosts, hauntings and other paranormal phenomena. Each week, they are contacted for help by outside parties ranging from the Catholic Church to ordinary families who are terrified by unusual events in their homes.

It's time to shiver with delight and fright as you join Kala on America's Haunted Road Trip with John Kachuba, L'Aura Hladik and Michael Varhola on a guided tour of the most haunted places in Ohio, Virginia, New Jersey and Illinois.

Kala speaks with Stanton Friedman about his latest book: Flying Saucers and Science, a comprehensive look at the scientific data on the flying saucer phenomenon. Nuclear physicist and lecturer Stanton T. Friedman has distilled more than 40 years of research on UFOs, and shares his work on a wide variety of classified advanced nuclear and space systems. He answers a number of physics questions in layman’s terms, and establishes that travel to nearby stars is within reach without violating the laws of physics. Photographs of little known, far-out advanced propulsion systems, on some of which he worked, are included. Friedman also presents data demonstrating the ability to withstand high accelerations with some surprising results. He clearly shows that government policy on this subject has been to provide false, misleading claims and disinformation, and establishes that the subject truly represents a Cosmic Watergate. Flying Saucers and Science presents intriguing data from a number of large-scale scientific UFO studies that almost no one, especially the noisy negativists, has discussed in detail. It deals with a host of “why” questions such, as reasons for the cover-up, reasons for aliens to come to Earth, and reasons for not landing on the White House lawn. Friedman unveils the SETI program, and details the antipathy of science-fiction writers to UFOs and other mysteries of the saucer conundrum. False notions about those who believe in the reality of alien visitors and the adequacy of coverage by the journalistic and scientific communities are reviewed.

Stanton discusses many topics including: What type of energy and technologies could provide travel between the star, The most likely locations in the universe where aliens come from, Why the aliens are here, Who believes in the flying saucer phenomenon and the government’s motives to cover-up,
and much, much more.

On October 30, 2007, at the National Press Club in Washington DC, Richard Hoagland and The Enterprise Mission (a private research and public policy group) held a major review entitled: NASA, its 50 years of cover-ups and hidden solar system data. In this interview, Richard Hoagland discusses some of the questions answered during the two-hour international press briefing including: Why does NASA continue to represent itself and its programs as “civilian space research,” when its official Congressional Charter reveals that the President can legally classify under the rationale of “national security”, ALL of NASA’s findings?

-Why did NASA official direct Ken Johnston – a former NASA contractor in Charge of Apollo photos in NASA’s Lunar Receiving Laboratory during the Apollo Program – to destroy priceless copies of official astronaut photographs taken on the Moon …?

-Did Apollo astronauts discover and bring back to Earth bona fide “ET artifacts” salvaged from the Moon? And, was one of those artifacts an amazing “robot head” – immediately classified, under NASA’s Charter, because of its enormous national security implications?

Who inhabits the Shadow World? We're not just talking about spirits of the dead. And "friendly" is not a proper description of their character. Having conducted research through five decades and across four continents, investigator Brad Steiger concludes that a richly populated Shadow World exists all around us. When it impinges on our ordinary plane of shared reality, this dark dimension is sometimes frightening, occasionally menacing, but always worthy of cautious exploration.

Spirits of the dead are but one of the many types of beings that inhabit in the Shadow World. Others appear to be multidimensional beings, some of whom may be benign, while others seem to be cosmic tricksters or troublemakers bent on mischief. And unfortunately some of the beings that seem to have our best interests at heart may in fact have entered our world with the intention of possessing our bodies or capturing our souls.

Journey with Kala as she explores the depths of the Shadow World with Brad Steiger. His book is: SHADOW WORLD True Encounters with Beings from the Darkside.

Richard Hoagland runs the Enterprise Mission, an expanding research program seeking the facts behind the discovery in the last 4 years of "intelligently-designed, ancient artificial structures" on additional NASA and Soviet photos, not only of Mars... but of the Moon...Including -- surface photographs of "artifacts" taken by the American astronauts themselves. In terms of methodology, analytical research to date has focused on the extensive photographic databases of NASA and Soviet lunar and planetary images.

In the myths, legends, and folklore of many peoples, the returning, physical dead play a significant role, whether they are the zombies of Haiti or the draugr of Scandinavia. But what are the origins of an actual bodily return from the grave? Does it come from something deep within our psyche, or is there some truth to it?

Kala speaks with Bob Curran as they explore his book: Zombies: A Field Guide to the Walking Dead and how some of these beliefs may have arisen and the truths that lay behind them. Examine the myths from all around the world and from ancient times including Sumerian, Babylonian, Egyptian, and Celtic. Curran traces the evolution of belief in the walking cadaver from its early inception in religious ideology to the "Resurrections" and cataleptics of 18th century Europe, from prehistoric tale to Arthurian romance. Zombies even examines the notion of the "living dead" in the world today--entities such as the "living mummies" of Japan. Zombies is a unique book, systematically tracing the development of a cultural idea of physical resurrection and explore the myths that have grown around it, including the miracles of Old Testament prophets. It will interest those enticed by the return of the corporeal dead and also those curious as to how such an idea sits within the historical context.

In 1971 Doubleday published a book called Journeys Out of the Body, a Virginia businessman's memoir of his weird and wonderful adventures on other planes of reality. That book, which has sold more than a million copies, and that man, Robert Monroe, helped cement the concept of astral travel into the American psyche and made the "out-of-body experience" a household word. Monroe not only helped others understand this state of being, but through his research on binaural beats and his development of the technology known as Hemi-Sync, he made the OBE accessible through programs at The Monroe Institute, which is attended by thousands of people each year. However, Monroe made consciousness research more than an esoteric thrill ride. He put his technology to practical use by creating frequencies that have helped people with everything from meditation and learning, to insomnia, quitting smoking, and pain control. In this interview, Kala speaks with Ronald Russell about his time spent with Robert Monroe, what occurs at the Monroe Institute and the life of Robert Monroe.

There are places that turn up in literature or in film - mystical and legendary places - whose names may be familiar but about which we know little. We nod knowingly at the reference, but are often left wondering about places such as Atlantis, the lost land overwhelmed by the sea or El Dorado, the fabulous city that vanished somewhere in the South American jungles. Other names are more evocative Mount Olympus, the Garden of Eden, the mystic Isle of Avalon and Davy Jones' Locker. But did such places actually exist and if so, where were they, and what really happened? What are the traditions and legends associated with them?

In "Lost Lands, Forgotten Realms", historian, Dr. Bob Curran, sets out to find the answers by journeying to the far-flung corners of the world and to the outer reaches of human imagination. Inside you will: climb the high mountains in search of the mythical Shangri-La; navigate the deep swamps and jungles in a quest for the Seven Cities of Cibola; travel to the depths of the dark oceans to look for sunken lands such as Lemuria and Lyonesse; experience unspeakable danger in a realm rarely visited by men - the subterranean lair of Judaculla; and discover the secrets of Heliopolis, Yggradsil, Hy Brasail, the Kingdom of Prester John, Llyobia and the Hollow Hills.

Dr. Míceál Ledwith began an intense and systematic study of orbs in all sort of situations, day and night, and in all sorts of atmospheric conditions, in order to discover all he could about their nature, the situations in which their presence could be most easily detected, and what implications they might have for our understanding of our own place in the cosmos. To date, he has amassed a collection of well over 100,000 images.

In The Orb Project, Ledwith and Heinemann present their fascinating discoveries, along with practical tips that amateur digital photographers can use to photograph orbs and properly distinguish them from "false" orbs that are really dust or water particles. They offer guidelines on deciphering the orbs' various patterns, features, and characteristics, based on their extensive research.

As Dr. Ledwith points out, once you develop a keen and sustained interest in photographing spirit entities, some quite interesting things begin to happen: the brain stops censoring these images, and you can begin to see with orbs with the naked eye -- in more color and detail than is visible to even a digital camera.

Ledwith and Heinemann also explore communication with orbs and what their existence means to our lives. The implications of a realization that we are "surrounded by a cloud of witnesses" are enormous and incredibly hopeful for the world at large.

Behind the ordinary history of the world lies a second, hidden story — of secret societies, lost civilizations, sinister conspiracies, and mysterious events. Alternative visions of history have been around for nearly fifty years and popular culture has rapidly fed into this growing obsession, from The X-Files to the phenomenon of Dan Brown's novel, The Da Vinci Code. But how secret are these secret societies and what traces do the murky events of hidden history leave behind? The Element Encyclopedia of Secret Societies and Hidden History holds all the information you've been looking for to guide you through the shadows of this mysterious world. Here you'll find the facts, arguments, important figures, and theories surrounding key questions being asked by many
today: Do secret societies actually control the world, and if so, what do they plan to do with it? What were the real origins of Christianity, the Freemasons, or the French Revolution? What is the significance of King Arthur, Leonardo da Vinci, and Adolf Hitler to the world's secret societies? Like the quest for the Holy Grail of legend, the truth behind the shadowy side of history is easier to seek than to find. John Michael Greer is a unique guide: using a wealth of research, he also draws upon personal knowledge of secret societies and the occult underground world to guide you through the fascinating labyrinth of conspiracy theories, unsolved historical mysteries, lost arcane sciences, and secret organizations.

Why are so many people fascinated by ghosts?
To answer that question, writer and paranormal researcher John Kachuba aka "The Ghosthunter" investigates haunted locations throughout the country and interviews scores of people who have had paranormal encounters. The author discovers a growing interest in ghosts today, which has spurred an American pop culture phenomenon based on the supernatural. Combining his case reports of actual hauntings, discussions with leading figures in the paranormal world, and stories about related subjects-- buying ghosts on eBay, buying and selling haunted houses, ghost tourism--Ghosthunters presents an intriguing and witty look at America's paranormal world.

Set off down the trail of the paranormal and read about:
-A ghost hunt in a Connecticut coffee shop with lay religious demonologist David Considine.
-Spending the night with the ghost of Miss Lily at St. Augustine, Florida's historic St. Francis Inn.
-Spiritualist minister Rev. Rose Vanden Eynden's abilities to talk with the dead.
-The search for the headless inmate on a ghost hunt at West Virginia's Moundsville State Penitentiary.

Since the beginning of recorded history, humans have cited the presence of angels in etchings, drawings, paintings, and written material. As we evolve, open, and expand our present technology to include the heart, the soul and the awareness of "consciousness", questions arise about the nature of reality. Humans have always asked these questions. Searching for ways to unify all peoples, to reach into the deepest parts of ourselves for answers, to fulfill potential, to access wholeness, and to express creatively and fearlessly, we wonder what is real, what and who we can trust. We spend time wondering who we really are and how to live in love and harmony. As our inner and outer world disintegrates, we reach even further into the realms of the invisible, wondering if it is possible to connect with our purpose, our path, and our truth. We reach from an inner yearning that moves us to uncover and discover our origin, our connection, and our oneness with spirit and each other.

In The Call - Awakening the Angelic Human, Toni Sar'h Petrinovich writes about this search for wholeness, within and without, and clarifies many of our age-old questions. Do angels exist? Are there angelic humans? Is the search for the angelic a call from our souls to fulfill an interconnectedness that knows no physical bounds, but opens us to the discovery that this angelic "spirit" is already within us? -that there are angels in human form. She helps us understand the angelic realm, its purpose and focus and our possible agreement with it.

With his recent best-selling books and hundreds of articles, as well as radio and TV appearances, Philip Gardiner has started a crusade for uncovering the truth, and nothing could be more indicative of that search than his latest foray into the dark and often sinister world of secret societies. Yet again, in Secret Societies, Gardiner finds himself on a journey across the world to uncover the ancient secrets of the world's most powerful men. In one dramatic episode he finds himself driven out of Berlin in a black Mercedes by a secret organization that was believed to have disappeared after the second World War. Gardiner, however, survives this incredible journey and brings us the secrets of the Order held sacred for so long. Gardiner delves into a world that is often hidden from our eyes and finds himself in situations that seem to mirror the fictional world of the Da Vinci Code.

In Secret Societies, Gardiner:
-Gets to the core of the secret societies' belief systems.
-Explores the secret origins of Freemasonry and the links to secret Serpent Cults.
-Investigates the secret hidden meaning of King Arthur and Robin Hood.
-Examines the claimants to the name of Illuminati, and analyzes the history of the group in Europe and America.
-Reveals the secret links within the Vatican and the Nazi Party.
-Looks in-depth at the white-powdered gold theory supposedly kept secret by orders throughout time and radically re-appraises it.
-Shows the link between the so-called enlightenment experience and the control of our minds.

Brad Steiger is the master storyteller extraordinaire when it comes to true tales of the supernatural and of unexplained occurrences. This prolific and highly acclaimed author truly has no real equal in this branch of the literary field. Strange Guests is a genuine early Steiger classic about legendary poltergeist cases like the Bell Witch, Slawensick Castle, and many other haunting tales that should definitely send innumerable chills and shivers up and down your spine!

Originally published forty years ago, and with an introduction by Ivan T. Sanderson, we learn in Brad’s updated Afterword many fascinating behind-the-scenes details of how this book came to be written, and the very significant and supportive role that the noted zoologist and Fortean Ivan Sanderson played in its production. Sanderson’s original introduction is also included, along with a new foreword by noted author and cryptozoologist Loren Coleman. Coleman recalled how Sanderson had years ago told him that out of all things psychic, the energetic poltergeist phenomenon stood the best chance of being proven to be real.

Faeries and dragons, vampires and werewolves, mermaids and ghosts, want to learn more about them? Join us as we speak with John Michael Greer, author of Monsters: An Investigator's Guide to Magical Beings for a journey into the reality of monsters.

Unexplained physical phenomena that suggest some type of psi operation whether from the living or the deceased have been reported throughout history and from all cultures, and yet have been largely ignored by conventional science. Dr. Sally Rhine-Feather from the Rhine Research Center will report on a broad category of "spontaneous psychokinesis" reported by ordinary people at times of stress, crisis or death, while Jacqueline Jordan will offer anecdotal "shards" and theoretical perspectives of the “thanatokinesis” phenomenon as evidence of post-mortem survival of consciousness.

More About Dr. Sally Rhine Feather and Jacqueline Jordan:
