The Bell Witch Project: Poltergeist - Ghosts - Exorcisms and the Supernatural in Early American History

Publisher Marketing: -- A MUST READ FOR THOSE FASCINATED BY THE SUPERNATURAL, THE OCCULT, THE PARANORMAL . . . Here are America's earliest and most frightening tales of the unexplained -- with a new overview of the scariest poltergeist case of all time -- THE BELL WITCH! You've seen the various Hollywood horror movie variations of this horrifying American poltergeist case -- but these cinematic efforts have never done justice to what really happened in Tennessee back in 1817 that created mass hysteria and even caused a soon to be president -- General Andrew Jackson -- to feel the wrath of this horrid specter from beyond the grave. The Bells were an upright farming family said to have incurred the ire of one Kate Batts who put a deathbed curse on the Bells that defies all rational understanding. REVEALED IN THIS VOLUME! ** -- Super psychic Shawn Robbins, a protege of the late ghost hunter, Dr Hans Holzer, was able to "revisit" the scene of the Bell Witch haunting and gain new insight into the nearly two hundred years old curse. ** -- The highly respected paranormal researcher, Paul Eno (host of Behind The Paranormal), recounts stories of vampires in New England in the 18th and 19th centuries and also tells the little-known story of an invasion of demonic specter "hooligans." ** -- Journey with Tim Beckley to the historically haunted locales of Jerome, Arizona, and Sleepy Hollow, New York, where ghostly spirits and disembodied voices seem to have established a haven and interact frequently with visitors. ** -- Acclaimed writer Sean Casteel contributes accounts of phantoms and monsters as well as a synopsis of a case of demonic possession that occurred in another New England clergyman's home some 20 years before the trials in Salem made everyone vulnerable to the charge. Also, read about the lesser known Salem witch trial of 1878 in which one Christian Scientist sued another over the "mind crime" of Malicious Animal Magnetism. And let us not forget the stories of swamp women -- flying creatures -- and specters and phantoms and things that go bump in the night and continue to scare us all to this very day. Contributor Bio:  Casteel, Sean Erich von Daniken is the most popular researcher/author of the Ancient Astronaut concept, but most readers may not realize that others have postulated similar ideas and theories. The author of this work W. R. Drake preceded von Daniken's Chariots of the Gods? by several years. The Britisher uses hundreds of historical records to verify his claims that our planet has had "visitors" since the beginning of creation. Contributor Bio:  Beckley, Timothy Green YOU CAN'T HIDE FROM THE EDITOR OF THE CONSPIRACY JOURNAL The CIA used water-boarding techniques on him yet he never broke his code of silence. The MIB stalked him and yet he didn't bat an eye (not any one of his three!) The Dero set up an underground tunnel system in his basement and he uses it to go to work every day. Tim Beckley - dubbed "Mr. UFO" because only he knows the TRUTH -- has been saving the world from aliens for fifty years. He is the reason they haven't landed on the White House lawn and why you remain safe in your homes. At the age of ten, Beckley had his first of three UFO sightings. The event stunned him so much that he took out every book on the subject that he could find in the library. He wrote to the local media questioning the policy of silence he was convinced was taking place worldwide. At fourteen, he was already appearing on national radio and TV, proclaiming the existence of the aliens (whom he now believes to be inter-dimensional to some extent and, as another likely possibility, the product of Nazi wartime technology.) His bio is so extensive that he would have to run it in several parts. Beckley started his writing/publishing career in his youth. At age 14, he purchased a mimeograph machine and started putting out "The Interplanetary News Service Report." Over the years, he has written over 50 books on everything from rock music to the MJ-12 documents. He has been a stringer for the national tabloids, such as the Enquirer, the Star and the Globe, and the editor of over 30 different magazines (most of which never lasted more than a couple of issues). His longest running effort was the newsstand publication UFO UNIVERSE, which went for 11 years. Today he is the president of Inner Light/Global Communications and editor of "The Conspiracy Journal" and "Bizarre Bazaar." He has been a regular contributor to "Fate Magazine" for over 40 years and more recently to "Open Minds Magazine."
