  1. 1. The Mothman Prophecies

    A True Story

    The book delves into the mysterious and eerie events surrounding the sightings of a strange, winged creature known as the Mothman in Point Pleasant, West Virginia, during the 1960s. It explores the connections between these sightings and a series of bizarre occurrences, including UFO activity, strange phone calls, and prophetic visions. The narrative blends investigative journalism with elements of the supernatural, as it seeks to uncover the truth behind these phenomena and their impact on the local community, culminating in the tragic collapse of the Silver Bridge.

  2. 2. Gabby

  3. 3. The Eighth Tower

    On Ultraterrestrials and the Superspectrum

    A provocative investigation that links UFO sightings, strange creatures, poltergeist activity, and religious visions into a single, baffling phenomenon driven by nonhuman intelligences operating through electromagnetic and psychological means; the author surveys case histories, eyewitness accounts, and folkloric patterns to argue these events are not conventional extraterrestrial craft but manifestations of an interpenetrating reality that manipulates perception, creates elaborate hoaxes, and exploits human myth and sexuality. Combining investigative journalism with speculative theory, the work challenges both mainstream skepticism and orthodox UFO lore while proposing that a deeper, elusive level of phenomena underlies much of modern paranormal experience.

  4. 4. Disneyland Of The Gods

    A wide-ranging investigation into the persistence of strange phenomena and mythic symbolism across history, arguing that reports of gods, monsters, ancient monuments, and modern UFOs are different expressions of a single underlying current of human experience; the book examines folklore, archaeology, religion, synchronicity, and contemporary mass spectacle to suggest that modern culture has replaced mystical religion with manufactured wonders that echo ancient archetypes, and it questions conventional explanations while urging readers to reconsider the connections between myth, ritual, and unexplained events.

  5. 6. 10 B.S. Medical Tropes That Need To Die Today

    A sharp, evidence-focused critique that identifies and dismantles ten widespread medical myths and tropes, showing how they persist, why they can harm patients and public health, and what the research actually indicates. Each chapter pairs clear scientific refutations with practical advice for clinicians and lay readers on spotting misinformation, improving diagnostic reasoning, and communicating risk more honestly. The work pushes for greater scientific literacy, skeptical thinking, and system-level changes to replace catchy but misleading shorthand with rigorous, patient-centered care.

  6. 7. Our Haunted Planet

    A provocative survey of UFOs, poltergeist cases, phantom people and other unexplained phenomena that argues these disparate reports are manifestations of a single, persistent and often deceptive intelligence operating on or within the planet; the book compiles worldwide case studies, eyewitness testimony and historical parallels to suggest that what people call aliens, ghosts or strange apparitions may be different faces of the same high-strangeness phenomenon, capable of manipulating perception, fabricating physical effects and exploiting cultural expectations, and it advances speculative hypotheses about the nature and purpose of this force rather than offering conventional extraterrestrial explanations.

  7. 8. The Complete Guide To Mysterious Beings

    A concise, encyclopedic survey of reported cryptids and other uncanny entities worldwide, compiling historical cases, eyewitness reports, folklore, and investigative commentary; the book treats vampires, fairies, lake monsters, Bigfoot-like creatures and humanoid visitors as elements of a larger pattern of anomalous phenomena, examines cultural context and common explanations (hoaxing, misidentification), and explores provocative links between these sightings and other unexplained events such as UFOs and synchronicities while urging a skeptical but open-minded inquiry.
