  • Ghosts An Investigation into a True Canadian Haunting

    Creator

    Palmisano, Richard

    Abstract

    This amazing true story is a frightening account of a three year investigation into the multiple haunting of a once-grand Mississauga mansion on the shores of Lake Ontario. During the day, this remarkable place with its rolling green lawns is like a dream come true. But the dream turns into a nightmare as the sun goes down. When darkness falls, the overwhelming feeling of being watched takes over. Things move here, shadows swirl around you, spirits whisper to themselves.

  • The World's Most Mysterious Objects

    Creator

    Fanthorpe, Lionel and Patricia

    Abstract

    Objects can carry romantic myths, embody dangerous curses, or provide links to our past. Some mysterious items, like the Hope Diamond, can still be found today, while others, like the Philosophers’ Stone, have vanished into the mists of time. Gifted and sensitive psychometrists can apparently pick up an object and learn many things about its past and its previous owners. The World’s Most Mysterious Objects provides a glimpse into these enigmas, exploring everything from psychic weapons and spiritual icons to alchemical experiments and strange devices.

  • Working With Spirit Engaging the Spirituality to Meet the Challenges of the Workplace

    Creator

    Reid, Lucy

    Evers, Fred

    Abstract

    How does spirituality relate to our everyday working lives? Can the challenges of work stress, burnout, time famine, and conflict be addressed by our beliefs and spiritual practices? Lucy Reid and Fred Evers argue that spirituality in the workplace is neither a strategy to placate unhappy workers, nor an invasion by religious agenda. It is, instead, the pursuit of meaning and integrity, the attentiveness to deep questions, and the unleashing of creativity, by which our work is transformed and sanctified.

  • Ghost Stories of Newfoundland and Labrador

    Creator

    Butts, Edward

    Abstract

    Shrouded in the mists of history and legend, the province of Newfoundland and Labrador is a land of mysteries. Its waters are a graveyard for countless wrecked ships. Its lore is full of tales about treachery and murder. And it was once the haunt of pirates. Haunt, indeed! Newfoundland and Labrador has tales of the supernatural that date back centuries, to a time before Canada even existed as a nation. Here the ghosts not only lurk in old houses and forlorn cemeteries, they come up out of the sea to walk the decks of ships before the eyes of terrified crewmen.

  • I Saw It Too! Real UFO Sightings

    Creator

    Rutkowski, Chris A.

    Abstract

    Although many adults believe they have had encounters with strange creatures from alien spaceships, not everyone has actually reported their experiences to official investigators. But if you're a young person it's even less likely that people will believe you and more likely that your story will never be officially recorded. After all, who would believe a kid? I Saw It Too! is the first collection of stories told by children, documenting what they saw and when they saw it.

    Christensen, Jo-Anne

    Abstract

    Saskatchewan and ghost stories. They go together like a grinning scarecrow in a whisper-dry October field. In 1995, Dundurn successfully published and reprinted numerous times the original Ghost Stories of Saskatchewan. Since that time, an eerie wealth of supernatural accounts have surfaced in this seemingly quiet prairie province.
