DOWNLOAD EBOOKIn 1979, a team of investigators working for a magazine based in the Midlands of England followed a trail of cryptic clues to discover a hidden green gemstone once possessed by Mary Queen of Scots and a secret society called The Order of Meonia. Lost for over three-and-a-half centuries, the stone was said to hold ancient supernatural power. When the relic was taken to the offices of the magazine, an old Victorian house in the English town of Wolverhampton, inexplicable events, witnessed by dozens of observers, began to occur. -An unexplained dense, incense-smelling smoke filled the entire building each night as darkness fell. -The mysterious sound of footsteps, eerie noises and unearthly voices drove terrified visitors away. -Objects began to move and be thrown around, seemingly of their own volition, and an odious blue, gelatinous substance oozed from the walls. -An ominous, dark, faceless figure appeared and disappeared before the very eyes of those involved. -The sleeping bag of a member of the team spontaneously combusted as he slept in the building overnight. -Ultimately, nine people stood witness to hellish, unearthly cries, and bright balls of fiery light exploding over a nearby wood, when the awesome power of the stone was finally unleashed. The Green Stone is not only a spellbinding real-life historical detective story, but one of the most extraordinary true tales of the paranormal ever told. Augmented with four dozen additional, previously unpublished illustrations and photographs, this special 40th anniversary edition has been revised and updated and includes a new introduction by Graham Phillips. "One of the most remarkable true stories I have ever read." Weekend "If you only read one book in your life, read this one." Psychic News "A thrilling paranormal adventure." Today

DOWNLOAD EBOOKEllie Stone is a professed modern girl in 1960s' New York City, playing by her own rules and breaking boundaries while searching for a killer among the renowned scholars in Columbia University's Italian Department. "If you were a man, you'd make a good detective." Ellie Stone is sure that Sgt. McKeever meant that as a compliment, but that identity-a girl wanting to do a man's job-has throttled her for too long. It's 1960, and Ellie doesn't want to blaze any trails for women; she just wants to be a reporter, one who doesn't need to swat hands off her behind at every turn. Adrift in her career, Ellie is back in New York City after receiving news that her estranged father, a renowned Dante scholar and distinguished professor, is near death after a savage bludgeoning in his home. The police suspect a routine burglary, but Ellie has her doubts. When a second attempt is made on her father's life, in the form of an "accident" in the hospital's ICU, Ellie's suspicions are confirmed. Then another professor turns up dead, and Ellie's investigation turns to her father's university colleagues, their ambitions, jealousies, and secret lives. Ellie embarks on a thorny journey of discovery and reconciliation, as she pursues an investigation that offers her both a chance at redemption in her father's eyes, and the risk of losing him forever.
