Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - This collection is not about ghost hunters, detectives, doctors, or famous paranormal investigators. These accounts belong to the people working in the background-the student finishing clinical hours, the maintenance worker answering one last service call, the kitchen employee preparing breakfast before dawn, the transport driver making a final pickup, the receptionist covering the overnight desk, or the contractor repairing equipment after visiting hours have ended. None of them came to work expecting to witness something impossible. Yet each encountered an event that refused to fit within the ordinary rules of the workplace.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Some cases are never truly closed. They are transferred, sealed, reclassified, or placed inside storage systems that no public index will ever reach. Federal agents are trained to follow evidence, verify testimony, protect chain of custody, and separate fear from fact. But every so often, a case produces facts that do not behave like facts. A witness appears who should not be alive. A recording captures a voice that was not in the room. A sealed file changes after midnight. A federal building contains a room no architect ever drew. When procedure fails to explain the evidence, the case does not disappear. It enters the shadow record. The Bureau does not confirm these encounters. It does not deny them either. In the world of these accounts, the most unsettling truth is not that the unexplained exists, but that it can enter the official record and remain there, waiting beneath layers of silence. The agents in these pages did not seek the paranormal. They followed assignments, interviewed witnesses, reviewed evidence, and obeyed orders. What they found was not always alive, not always human, and not always bound by time. And once a file like that opens, it has a way of opening again.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - 'The ghost is no longer in the machine. It is the machine.'In the history of the supernatural, hauntings were once confined to ancient forests and Victorian hallways. But as we have migrated our lives into the digital ether, something has followed us. In this chilling collection of twenty-five paranormal stories, Glenn D. Varnell, PhD, explores the terrifying hypothesis that our technology hasn't replaced the supernatural-it has provided it with a high-speed medium through which to manifest.From smart speakers recording whispers from the void to sentient programs lurking in the encrypted layers of the Deep Web, Ghosts in the Code looks past the user interface to reveal what is truly running in the background of our reality. These are not mere 'glitches.' They are signatures of a new, digital occultism where Wi-Fi routers and touchscreens have become the modern-day Ouija boards, inviting silent observers into our pockets and our homes.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Every road has a memory. Not the memory of the people who built it or the governments that mapped it, but something older and less accountable-the accumulated weight of every vehicle that has traveled it, every decision made at its intersections, every person who drove into its darkness and did not come back the same way they went in. Americans understand roads the way they understand few other things: as freedom, as escape, as the physical expression of the belief that moving forward is the same as moving away from whatever is behind you. What the twenty-five accounts in this book suggest, collectively and without apology, is that the road does not always share that belief. Sometimes it holds on. Sometimes it replays.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - When most of America is asleep, someone is still working the dead shift. In Dead Shift Vol. 3: Gas Stations, Diners & 24-Hour Stores, Glenn D. Varnell, PhD presents 25 chilling paranormal encounters from the graveyard hours, where isolated gas stations, all-night diners, truck stops, convenience stores, and twenty-four-hour retailers become the setting for impossible customers, unexplained voices, missing drivers, predictive receipts, human doubles, and figures that appear where no one should be.

The lights are on, the doors are open, and somewhere beyond the windows, something is waiting.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Black-eyed children have long occupied the uneasy border between modern folklore and the unexplained, but what happens when the encounter leaves a digital record behind Black-Eyed Children: 25 Paranormal Encounters Caught on Camera presents twenty-five unsettling accounts involving doorbell cameras, CCTV systems, dashcams, body cameras, cell phones, trail cameras, baby monitors, webcams, and other forms of modern surveillance. In these stories, technology does not always solve the mystery. Sometimes it confirms that someone was there, sometimes it contradicts the witness, and sometimes it records details no one noticed at the time. Atmospheric, contemporary, and evidence-driven, this volume explores a disturbing possibility: the camera may not provide the answer, but it may make the question much harder to ignore.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Secret History of America: Taxonomy of Urban Legends is a critical examination of the stories Americans tell when official explanations, institutions, and histories prove insufficient. Rather than dismissing urban legends as superstition or entertainment, this book treats them as adaptive narrative systems-cultural mechanisms that translate fear, uncertainty, and unresolved experience into story. From cryptids and wilderness myths to ritual legends, haunted architecture, institutional distrust, psychological entities, identity boundaries, and digital-born folklore, each category reveals how fear organizes itself in response to specific social and environmental pressures.Drawing on anthropology, psychology, and media theory, the book presents a clear analytical framework that reads urban legends as relic narratives-residues left behind when systems fail to fully contain harm or ambiguity. These stories endure not because they are believed, but because they function: warning where policy cannot, teaching where authority is mistrusted, and preserving memory where history remains unresolved. Secret History of America: Taxonomy of Urban Legends offers a rigorous and unsettling map of American anxiety, showing how fear becomes story-and why those stories refuse to disappear.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - When museums, libraries, and historic theaters close for the night, the public leaves-but the buildings do not always fall silent. In these twenty-five paranormal encounters, night guards, custodians, contractors, technicians, ushers, couriers, inspectors, and temporary workers describe what happened while they were cleaning floors, checking cameras, repairing systems, moving crates, counting tickets, or completing one final round.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Across continents, humanity has shared stories about figures that dwell on the margins of reality-creatures that watch from the forest's edge, rise from the depths, or survive in the echoes of legend.Cryptids: Legends and Chronicles Around the World combines anthropological depth with the narrative power of human testimony, revealing how every culture transforms fear into myth.From the misty forests of the Pacific Northwest where Bigfoot's footsteps still echo, to the icy Himalayas where the Yeti guards ancient secrets; from the Caribbean mangroves where the Chupacabra prowls, to the silent ruins of Chernobyl where some swear they have seen the Mothman-each story offers an intimate glimpse into the frontier between the real and the impossible.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - For decades, eerie reports have surfaced across America-of children who appear at night, asking to be let inside.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - VHS Video Horror Stories: An Anthropology of the Paranormal in 1980's Cinema is not a nostalgic tour of retro scares-it is a cultural autopsy. This book examines how 1980s horror cinema transformed fear into a language capable of expressing social collapse, technological anxiety, and the erosion of certainty. Through haunted homes, possession narratives, doppelgängers, abductions, folk rituals, body horror, and apocalyptic worlds, VHS-era films revealed a deeper truth: fear no longer arrived as spectacle, but as routine. Horror became intimate, domestic, procedural, and disturbingly familiar.Approaching 1980s horror through an anthropological lens, this book explores how videotape, television, and analog media reshaped the experience of terror-turning it into something recorded, replayed, archived, and normalized. These films did not invent new anxieties; they reorganized existing ones around unstable identities, unreliable institutions, fragile bodies, coercive communities, and futures that refused resolution. For readers interested in horror studies, media theory, cultural analysis, and the psychology of fear, this book offers a rigorous and unsettling exploration of why the monsters of the VHS era never truly disappeared-and why we are still living inside the anxieties they captured on tape. …

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - In some places, the harvest is not the end of the season-it is the payment. Harvest of the Old Gods: Scary Stories from Closed Communities is a haunting collection of folk-horror tales set in isolated farming towns and sealed rural enclaves where tradition is law and survival depends on honoring agreements no one remembers making.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Night has always been America's oldest witness. From the pine-thick forests of the Northeast to the sun-bleached deserts of the Southwest, people have reported the same impossible things: footsteps where no one walks, whispers in empty rooms, shadows with breath, nightmares that don't end when the sleeper wakes. We call these moments hallucinations, stress responses, tricks of the brain-but the stories persist. They survive generations, spanning landscapes, languages, and belief systems. Fear remembers what logic tries to erase. This book is not entertainment. It is testimony. Shadowborne collects firsthand accounts of individuals across the United States who have confronted something beyond understanding-entities with hunger, intelligence, cruelty, and intent. These are not ghosts that rattle chains for attention; they stalk, mimic, invade. They bruise minds. They break sleep. They wait until their victims are alone, tired, or ready to forget the possibility of the supernatural entirely. …

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Across remote bases, classified facilities, and warzones around the world, U.S. service members have encountered things that defy training, protocol, and physics. These are men and women accustomed to pressure, danger, and the unknown-yet even they could not explain the shadows that moved on their own, the lights that stalked aircraft, or the figures that appeared inside sealed rooms with no possible entry. Most of these incidents were never reported, buried under fear of ridicule or wrapped in layers of classification. Still, the stories persisted-whispered in guard shacks, exchanged in flight lines at 2 a.m., or shared quietly between crew members who saw the same impossible thing on different nights. Patterns emerged: bases repeatedly visited, aircraft repeatedly followed, and personnel repeatedly confronted by something that seemed intelligent. and aware.This book collects those firsthand accounts-cleaned, structured, and presented exactly as the witnesses experienced them. They are not ghost stories. They are operational records from professionals who found themselves face-to-face with the unexplainable.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - There are stories people tell loudly, because they want to be believed. Then there are stories they barely whisper, because belief is no longer the point. The accounts gathered in this book belong to that second category: quiet, disturbing encounters from highways, bedrooms, barns, forests, hotels, airport runways, frozen oil fields, and empty houses where ordinary people were pulled into something they could not explain. Across these twenty-five alien encounters, the witnesses were not searching for contact. They were working late, driving alone, tending animals, guarding property, studying sleep, delivering mail, or trying to rest after a long shift. Then came the pattern that appears again and again: missing time, silent figures, impossible lights, erased cameras, strange symbols, altered memories, and the terrifying sense that someone - or something - had selected them for observation. This book does not ask you to believe every detail without question. It asks you to sit with the unease these stories leave behind. Because the most frightening part of an abduction is not always the craft, the beings, or the moment of disappearance. Sometimes it is the return - waking up in the wrong place, with hours missing, a life resumed, and the unbearable suspicion that the encounter was not an ending, but a beginning.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - They were trained for war, distance, fear, and survival. They were not trained for what followed them beyond the wire. There are places in the world where the membrane between what is and what was becomes thin enough to see through. Most people never find those places. Soldiers do - not because they seek them out, but because the work of war and service takes them to ground that has absorbed more human experience, more fear, more loss, and more unfinished business than any civilian landscape accumulates in a century of ordinary living. The accounts collected in this book were not gathered from people who went looking for the paranormal. They were gathered from people who went looking for nothing more than the completion of a mission, the end of a shift, the safe return of their team - and found, in the course of that ordinary professional pursuit, something that refused to be ordinary.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Code Unknown: 25 Paranormal Calls to 911 presents twenty-five unsettling encounters inspired by the strange intersection of emergency communications and the unexplained.

A voice is waiting. And the code remains unknown.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Not every encounter begins with a light in the sky. Some begin with silence. Others begin with a dream repeated too many times, a radio that fails without cause, a dog staring at an empty corner, a road that feels chosen before the driver ever turns the wheel, or a mark on the body that has no ordinary explanation. In many accounts of alleged alien contact, the event itself is only the final stage of something larger. Before the moment of contact, there are often signs-subtle, unsettling, and easy to dismiss until they begin to form a pattern. Harbinger: 25 Case Files of Warning Signs Prior to Alien Contact explores that narrow and mysterious interval between ordinary life and extraordinary experience. These twenty-five case files take place across the United States, Alaska, and Canada, stretching from lonely desert roads and frozen northern towns to coastal communities, suburban homes, forests, lakes, farms, and city streets. Each case is built around a central question: what happens before a witness realizes that the impossible has already entered their life.…
