Book excerpt: For eons New York State's "Queen of American Lakes" has attracted tribes, traders and tourists. Since today's Village of Lake George abounds with eerie activity this suggests the mountain retreat may be a portal drawing the long dead as well... "Haunted Lake George" recounts the region's storied history and weaves a tapestry of awesome mysteries. Centuries of gruesome battles left behind a militia of earthbound spirits. These restless specters haunt the southern shore, historic sites and several surrounding restaurants. Other amazing phantoms populate their favorite places 'round the haunted lake. Resorts, grand homes, cemeteries and hiking trails are the stomping grounds for many ethereal souls. Tread softly on this hallowed ground and best look over your shoulder for that re-enactor in authentic garb may not be a bona fide soldier - he might be a genuine ghost!

Troubled spirits of former patients roam the campus of the historic Dr. Trudeau Tuberculosis Sanitorium just outside Sarnac Lake. The ghost of Grace Brown, tragically murdered by her lover in 1906, drifts over the waters of Big Moose Lake. A long-deceased runaway slave remains a guest at the Stagecoach Inn in Lake Placid. The Sagamore Resort on an island in Lake George has been welcoming vacationers since 1883, and many have never left. Held captive in a remote mansion by her husband until her death, Mary Rhinelander still wanders the burned-out ruins of her earthly confinement. Writer and paranormal investigator Dennis Webster highlights the scariest haunts the Adirondacks can offer.

Book excerpt: 'It's enthralling stuff, mixing the scholarly with the accessible and placing storytelling right at the heart of the human experience.' - History Revealed 'A fascinating journey' - Yorkshire Post 'Marvellous...Finkel is an expert in Mesopotamian cultures at the British Museum, and is one of the most clever, and nicest, of people it has ever been my pleasure to encounter...A fascinating journey' - The Scotsman There are few things more in common across cultures than the belief in ghosts. Ghosts inhabit something of the very essence of what it is to be human. Whether we personally 'believe' or not, we are all aware of ghosts and the rich mythologies and rituals surrounding them. They have inspired, fascinated and frightened us for centuries - yet most of us are only familiar with the vengeful apparitions of Shakespeare, or the ghastly spectres haunting the pages of 19th century gothic literature. But their origins are much, much older... The First Ghosts: Most Ancient of Legacies takes us back to the very beginning. A world-renowned authority on cuneiform, the form of writing on clay tablets which dates back to 3400BC, Irving Finkel has embarked upon an ancient ghost hunt, scouring these tablets to unlock the secrets of the Sumerians, Babylonians and Assyrians to breathe new life into the first ghost stories ever written. In The First Ghosts, he uncovers an extraordinarily rich seam of ancient spirit wisdom which has remained hidden for nearly 4000 years, covering practical details of how to live with ghosts, how to get rid of them and bring them back, and how to avoid becoming one, as well as exploring more philosophical questions: what are ghosts, why does the idea of them remain so powerful despite the lack of concrete evidence, and what do they tell us about being human?

Book excerpt: "A snooping expert of major proportion...with all the zeal of a dingo on heat!" - New Weekly Magazine "...His colourful tales make for great reading" - Access Hollywood "Australia's greatest mystery hunter" - Sunday Telegraph The truth is not the only thing out there...So is Tim the Yowie Man! So named after spotting a yowie (an Australian "bigfoot") in the rugged Snowy Mountains of Australia, Tim the Yowie Man is a mystery investigator and "cryptonaturalist" who is fast becoming the world's pre-eminent authority on strange and bizarre phenomena... Tim can be best described as Fox Mulder from the X-Files meets the Bushtucker Man. From his headquarters located in the heart of the nation's capital, Canberra, Tim travels extensively around Australia and the world to investigate hidden or unnatural and natural phenomena. Poltergeist in the pantry? Bunyip in the basement? That's right - if anything bizarre has happened in the world, Tim is first on the scene to investigate and validate. Tim is also a merry prankster and agent provocateur. His most audacious exploit to date was gate-crashing the filming of the US "Survivor II" series in outback Qld. His daring stunt of dropping chocolate bars from a helicopter to the show's contestants, as well as posting a map divulging the secret location of the "Survivor II" site on his personal website incited an international media frenzy and much gnashing of teeth from CBS TV executives. Receiving some1.5 million daily hits to his website, articles in the Australian and international press (from the New York Post to The Washington Post), scores of radio and TV interviews as well as a spot as guest commentator for "Survivor II" on Access Hollywood,Tim the Yowie Man became an instant larrikin sensation. The Adventures of Tim the Yowie Man is jam-packed with more than a dozen classic, spooky and kooky adventures including: * Illegally trespassing on the top secret set of the "Survivor II" TV series - chartering a chopper and dropping chocolate bars on the show's contestants as outraged producers and TV execs race about in a panic and later threaten to sue Tim's shorts off... * Diving in the murky depths of the Loch Ness in search of Nessie * Trekking in the Swiss Alps Valley of Lotschental on the trail of the Hairy Man * Struggling with the Hawaiian Lava Tubes Pig Monster * Fending off an attack from an aggressive rock ape at the Rock of Gibraltar * Coming face to face with a Tasmanian tiger in the vast wilds of western Tasmania * Searching for the mysterious Min Min Lights in central Australia All this and much, much more as Tim the Yowie Man investigates those stories that upon hearing you think to yourself, "that can't possibly be true...Or can it?"
