They may have unfinished business linked to a grisly or shocking murder-one they've committed, or their own! - Fur trappers and prospectors would rather brave the snow and freezing temperatures of a Yukon winter night than take shelter in La Salle's cabin, where they may come face to face with the murdered man's malevolent spirit.- James King's six-year-old daughter knew her fur trader daddy wasn't coming home long before his body was found outside of what is now Fort Saskatchewan, Alberta, when he visited her bedside to say goodbye- The legend of the decapitated nun is so familiar in New Brunswick that folks walking along the Miramichi River still glance around to see if they can find her head- Every seven years on Halloween since Mary Gallagher was decapitated with an axe, her ghost has wandered the corner of William and Murray streets in downtown Montreal- The ghosts of two brothers gone bad still haunt the alleyways of Fredericton, New Brunswick, long after they were hanged in 1949 for the brutal murder of a cab driver- When Charles Blessing wandered into Wellington Delaney Moses' Barkerville, BC, barbershop only to disappear before his very eyes, Moses knew something bad had happened to his friend.

Ghosts-murder-mayhem, a Chronicle of Santa Fe by Allan Pacheco Pdf

If you like to have fun, this tabloid-like investigation of some of Santa Fe, New Mexico's most extraordinary events is for you. Here are "beyond belief" stories of the present and the days of yore that picture many compelling, serious and humorous events that have woven themselves into Santa Fe's colorful history. Many myths and facts are explored, and many bubbles are burst: Billy The Kid, Russian spies, hauntings, UFOs, the Santa Fe Trail, to name a few. This eccentric Santa Fe guide is full of sensationalism, revulsion, truths, lies and pleasant distractions. Written in a "Noir" fashion, the book mixes humor with hard-boiled memorable moments that could only happen in Santa Fe, The City Different. ALLAN PACHECO is a native Santa Fean who has a B.A. degree and has attended Law School. He has many patents (auto tool) and for years was primarily involved in international manufacturing and trade. Allan's love for Santa Fe knows no bounds. Perhaps it's in his DNA since his ancestors were Spanish Conquistadors who helped found the city.

From Shaman to Scientist by James Houran Pdf

"The writers of From Shaman to Scientist take the approach that there is no such thing as the supernatural, only things we don't yet understand. The ghost experience is examined through case studies; forms and functions ghost hunters have taken throughout history; key historical figures and their influence on the research of ghostly phenomena: ghost hunting in the twenty-first century, including the exploding trend of Internet ghost-hunting organizations; and the advances in the theory and technology of the parapsychology field. For those who are skeptical about the reality of ghosts but want to understand how so many individuals claim to have anomalous experiences, this collection reviews the data, offers insight into logical explanations, and discusses why this is - and has been for centuries - such an important and intriguing issue."--BOOK JACKET.
