Strange True Encounters & Unearthly Experiences: 25 Mind-Boggling Reports of the Paranormal - Never Before in Book Form

by Jean Marie Stine (Editor), Phyllis Galde, Martin Caidin

FIRST NEW BOOK IN FATE MAGAZINE’S “STRANGE” SERIES IN THREE DECADES!Number 1 AMAZON "Occult & Paranormal & Supernatural"In 1965 FATE (founded 1949) released the first book in its bestselling “Strange” series, reprinting many of the publication’s most acclaimed reports of paranormal phenomena selected from its pages. Over the next ten years the “Strange” books sold over 6,000,000 copies worldwide.Strange True Encounters & Unearthly Experiences is the first new book in the series in over three decades, and Robert M. Schoch, Ph.D. in Geology and Geophysics at Yale University on discoveries at Anatolia‘s Gobekli Tepe suggesting civilization is far older than previously believed. Gregory Sams on unfolding evidence that stars may be conscious. Janet Brennan on Europe’s mysterious Black Madonna statues. Martin Cadin, ex-member Federal Aviation Administration, on his personal experiments using telekinesis. Michio Kaku, Professor of Theoretical Physics at the City University of New York, on our ten-dimensional universe and paranormal phenomenon. Journalist Chris Friar on 19th century UFO sightings proving they are not a modern phenomenon. Actor Anthony Quinn on the “profound mystical experience” in the Sinai Desert that changed his life. Plus over a dozen other accounts, investigation and in-depth reports on the Ouija board, remote viewing, poltergeists, Kansas’ sacred sites, the U.S. warship that was saved by an angel, and much more. We believe this brand new entry in the “Strange” series – is in every way the equal of its predecessors. And will prove every bit as entertaining and enlightening as the earlier books did. (Asked where he got the ideas for his stories, Steven King credited FATE. “My mother used to read me FATE Magazine, which was about the paranormal, flying saucers…all that stuff. I was fascinated.”)Here is what Amazon readers have to say about classic reprints from “A book worth reading. I look forward to reading the other books in this series.” “FATE always comes through.” “Well written, short articles on a variety of paranormal events, many of which were unfamiliar to me. Interesting, unfamiliar and competently edited.” “Good stuff. Reminds us that stories like this have been happening for years. Not just a modern invention. Worth a read.” “Very good read. 5 stars.”

Reviews

[Les · Rating 4 out of 5]

This is a collection of essays in the style of the late Fate magazine. Some of them are quite interesting and some are awful (The Ouija board sections). Some are badly named "Are Neanderthals Still Alive" really covers the 'Russian wild men' and ignores modern scientific evidence about the real Neanderthal (I am huge Neanderthal fan girl)

If you are interested in the strange and unusual these are interesting explorations and introductions to some of the subjects.

[Jeannie and Louis Rigod · Rating 5 out of 5]

This book was penned in 1965 but is highly readable in current times. It was a mixture of physical hard evidence such as the archeology at Gobekli Tepe , or a personal account of Anthony Quinn's in the Sinai peninsula.

All In all there were twenty-five varying accounts of the paranormal/ancient civilization subjects that were thoroughly discussed.

This book made me think and rethink. I'll be looking into more research being done.

[James Crawford · Rating 3 out of 5]

The book has a number of interesting parts.

Stars might be conscious.
Island Heights Spector.
The Mysterious Black Madonnas.
Telekenesis and testing the ESP of animals.
Are Neanderthals still alive today?
Orgone energy.
The sacred sites of Kansas.
19th century UFOs.
Giza's underworld.
Ghosts.
Gobleki Tepe.
Charles Fort.
Ouija boards.

There are also other topics. I don't see how stars can be conscious and there is absolutely no evidence at all that Neanderthals still exist today (although humans do carry a small amount of Neanderthal DNA, indicating that early humans mated with them.) Gobleki Tepe is an absolutely fascinating topic which I think tends to be downplayed since acknowledging it's importance would require some reformatting of human history.

It predates the pyramids by thousands of years. It was a major site that obviously took a lot of work. That means there would have been a good number of people working on it. No one knows why, where they came from, why they ended up burying the city and what happened to them after they left.

Ouija boards have two chapters and the second one is the most important as it points out the dangers of using such devices. My advice? Never, ever use them. Whether or not they actually make contact with 'lower energies' or whether or not it releases the darkness that is in some people's minds, the ouija board is better left alone.,

This is pretty much an average book on the general area of strangness.

What a crock of s**t.

I like reading paranormal and occult things, though I wouldn't say I believe in it all. Most of the time I find them amusing and I get the odd tingle down my spine.

This is just a collection of people who have a large collection of tin hats, who think they can conduct scientific experiments. A teenager could tell you that these people wouldn't know a scientific experiment if it hit them round the face.

What are these people on. Are they a collective of complete idiots. This crap belongs in a trashcan. Don't buy it.

Did not like it most of the stories are old news.

[Kathleen · Rating 1 out of 5]

I thought this was not a very good read. It was somewhat disjointed, and the stories were not that unusual. I give it a rating of 2.

[Doris Holbrook]

Easy read; hit most of the high topics of Paranormal activities. Nothing really new but that may because of the 1965 written date.
