Rick McCallum has been a professional stuntman, actor and stunt coordinator for over 35 years, and has more than 75 movie and TV projects to his name. He has been in many horror movies, most notably Hatchet 2 where he is chain sawed in half by his best friend Kane (hey, what are friends for?).. He frequently played monsters or paranormal characters. He has stunt doubled for many well-known actors, including Barry Bostwick, Oliver Platt, Christopher Noth, and Greg Evigan among many others. Rick's real passion is the paranormal which began at age 13 and has been a lifelong pursuit. While working on a movie in Mansfield Reformatory, a very haunted prison in Ohio, he and Kane Hodder (Jason Voorhees in Friday 13th Parts 7, 8, 9, and 10) discovered a mutual interest in the paranormal and founded the Hollywood Ghost Hunters. They later added R.A. Mihailoff (Leatherface, Texas Chainsaw Massacre part 3). The three appeared on the TV show Ghost Adventures where they joined the GA crew in an investigation at the Pico House in Los Angeles. This book combines a unique blend of stories of movies, ghost hunting, and humor as Rick recounts the extraordinary happenings in his life. He has ghost hunted all over the United States, many times while on location for a movie, and has also ghost hunted at many of the most iconic haunted locations in Scotland, England, Ireland and Australia. The locations would be a bucket list for most paranormal investigators, including Waverly Sanitorium, the Queen Mary, Pioneer Saloon, Oman House, Rosslyn Chapel, Bachelor's Grove, Bolton Abbey, Greyfriars Cemetery, Hellfire Club, Leap Castle, and the Real Mary King's Close. Rick relays his time living in what may be the most haunted house in America, and the stories that happened there are incredible! Some of the hunts are fun, most are intense, and the one at Leap Castle in Ireland is the most terrifying ghost experience you may ever read. What others have to say?... Rick's connection with the afterlife is undeniable, the spirits of Leap Castle made their presence known to him before he even stepped inside the building'. Greg Stewart, Scottish Paranormal .. The female spirits, especially Ruby love Rick, and call out his name on the Spirit Box, or in an actual voice you can hear every single time he has been here, and he has been here about a half dozen times! Jill Allen Padovese, Director, Haunted Lockdown, Pioneer Saloon.. I remembered Rick telling me about what happened at Leap Castle, and when I read the book I felt everything he was going through and it literally brought me to tears!!!! Deb White, Paranormal Investigator.. Rick shows up with just a little case of equipment and he gets just as much as any of the big TV production companies.. David Oman, the Oman House.. My most favorite memory of Rick was Scarefest 2018, when I watched him push a wheel chaired attendee to an event about a mile down the road because there wasn't room for her on the shuttle. Shannon Byers, Paranormal Author.. Rick was ghost hunting with my group at the Norwich Theater here in England, when he and I both saw a full body apparition six feet from us, and we both turned and said "did you see it too?" Mandy Fellows, Anubis Paranormal Investigations... Rick's approach to investigating Mary King's Close made it an amazing and memorable experience, his perception of his surroundings and the effect it had on others was unforgettable. J Craig Miller, Manager.. If Rick is there, spirit is there.. Ally Reid. Scottish Paranormal

“Provocative, insightful, and enlightening—a foray into an often-neglected topic that merits more attention than it typically receives.” --Lee Strobel, New York Times bestselling author of The Case for Christ What is Our Fascination with the Other Side? Join investigative reporter Billy Hallowell as he delves into the strange phenomena of supernatural activity. Themes of demonic possession, exorcism, and ghosts have overtaken Hollywood, with countless films and TV shows delving into the age-old struggle against evil. But the question is why? Even with so much focus on the topic, there seems to be very little public knowledge and discussion about the theology and real-life claims surrounding demons. Quite often, many people remain silent about their experiences or resort to quietly whispering about what they’ve seen, heard, or felt for fear of being labeled as crazy. The truth is, even pastors, priests, and clergy who have observed firsthand accounts of possession and deliverance can succumb to the strange and terrifying effects of intense spiritual warfare. For people of faith, Playing with Fire addresses these core questions: Are demons active today? If they do indeed exist, what are they? Fallen angels? Nephilim? Can demons inhabit human beings? According to the Bible, can people die and remain behind as “ghosts”? Playing with Fire explores the theological underpinnings surrounding the supernatural. Relying on firsthand accounts, newspaper reports, and Christian experts, Hallowell takes readers through the various views and perspectives surrounding supernatural activity.

This “novel of extraordinary humanity” (Madeleine Thien, author of Do Not Say We Have Nothing) from New York Times bestselling author Vaddey Ratner reveals “the endless ways that families can be forged and broken hearts held” (Chicago Tribune) as a young woman begins an odyssey to discover the truth about her missing father. Leaving the safety of America, Teera returns to Cambodia for the first time since her harrowing escape as a child refugee. She carries a letter from a man who mysteriously signs himself as “the Old Musician” and claims to have known her father in the Khmer Rouge prison where he disappeared twenty-five years ago. In Phnom Penh, Teera finds a society still in turmoil, where perpetrators and survivors of unfathomable violence live side by side, striving to mend their still beloved country. She meets a young doctor who begins to open her heart, confronts her long-buried memories, and prepares to learn her father’s fate. Meanwhile, the Old Musician, who earns his modest keep playing ceremonial music at a temple, awaits Teera’s visit. He will have to confess the bonds he shared with her parents, the passion with which they all embraced the Khmer Rouge’s illusory promise of a democratic society, and the truth about her father’s end. A love story for things lost and restored, a lyrical hymn to the power of forgiveness, Music of the Ghosts is a “sensitive portrait of the inheritance of survival” (USA TODAY) and a journey through the embattled geography of the heart where love can be reborn.

A New York Times Book Review Editor's Choice A comprehensive, authoritative and readable history of the evolution of the ghost in the west, examining the behavior of the subject in its preferred environment: the stories we tell each other. "Roger Clarke tells this [the story that inspired Henry James' The Turn of the Screw] and many other gloriously weird stories with real verve, and also a kind of narrative authority that tends to constrain the skeptical voice within... [An] erudite and richly entertaining book." —New York Times Book Review No matter how rationally we order our lives, few of us are completely immune to the suggestion of the uncanny and the fear of the dark. What explains sightings of ghosts? Why do they fascinate us? What exactly do those who have been haunted see? What did they believe? And what proof is there? Taking us through the key hauntings that have obsessed the world, from the true events that inspired Henry James's classic The Turn of the Screw right up to the present day, Roger Clarke unfolds a story of class conflict, charlatans, and true believers. The cast list includes royalty and prime ministers, Samuel Johnson, John Wesley, Harry Houdini, and Adolf Hitler. The chapters cover everything from religious beliefs to modern developments in neuroscience, the medicine of ghosts, and the technology of ghosthunting. There are haunted WWI submarines, houses so blighted by phantoms they are demolished, a seventeenth-century Ghost Hunter General, and the emergence of the Victorian flash mob, where hundreds would stand outside rumored sites all night waiting to catch sight of a dead face at a window. Written as grippingly as the best ghost fiction, A Natural History of Ghosts takes us on an unforgettable hunt through the most haunted places of the last five hundred years and our longing to believe.
