Now we’re up to the point where I really want all of you to join in.

In today’s vlog, I talk about a bunch of the weird books that provided me with the framework for my explorations of the strange and unusual. I want to know what books and experiences you’ve read and had that involve the paranormal and supernatural.

Here’s the promised list of books from me:

• Chariots of the Gods: Unsolved Mysteries of the Past
• Night Siege: The Hudson Valley UFO Sightings
• Encyclopedia of the Strange
• Encyclopedia of Ghosts
• In Search of the Dead: A Scientific Investigation of Evidence for Life After Death
• Parapsychology: The Controversial Science
• Discovering Your Past Lives: The Best Book on Reincarnation You’ll Ever Read in This Lifetime
• Esp, Hauntings and Poltergeists: A Parapsychologist’s Handbook
• Ghost Hunters: True Stories from the World’s Most Famous Demonologists
• Graveyard: True Hauntings from an Old New England Cemetery (Ed & Lorraine Warren)

There are many, many more than this… and then tons of television shows and documentaries. I could go on for hours and still miss bunches whose titles have faded from my memory, even if the stories and knowledge they contained hasn’t.

If I’d had access back then to the volume of information on ghosts, UFOs, and other paranormal things I have now, all sorts of things would have been so much more amazing. Knowing what I had to go through to get the knowledge I have of this stuff is what really makes me sad that a good bunch of the people–some running podcasts on this very same stuff–don’t know about what I consider basic things (like The Philip Experiment).

Oh… and Von Daniken did open a theme park of sorts. Back in 2003. It really didn’t last as a full-time venture.

Here’s today’s vlog, a quick run through some of my books. Let me know if you like it… but more importantly, tell me the stories you know.
