Download or read book Delaware s Ghost Towers Third Edition written by William C. Grayson and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2021-11-18 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Using the First State as a representative example for all three American shorelines, Delaware’s Ghost Towers reveals how the mysterious World War 2 concrete sentinels standing along Delaware’s ocean beaches were used to guard against penetration by powerful German battleships bent on shelling Philadelphia and the oil refineries of Wilmington. The book tells the story of the nearly forgotten Coast Artillery soldiers, who were the front-line, standing a combat-ready watch during the anxious early months of the war, when the first invasion of the Homeland since the War of 1812 was considered a frightening real possibility. From a slow start during neglectful pre-war days, the Coast Artillery grew to operate the US’ most heavily armed installations, pointing the Army’s biggest guns of the war out to sea. Their mission is described against a background of surrounding World War 2 events, German naval and commando operations in US waters and on US beaches - an important Last Stand worth remembering.

Book excerpt: Have you ever passed by an old building and stopped to wonder about it, or thought you noticed something unusual? Perhaps you felt something? This book will support that you should trust your instincts! Regardless of how one sees the Towers, whether it is an old building from a different time, or as living energetic beings, there is a magical element about them. In this mind-opening book, Soraya introduces you to the thirteen Towers that she not only converses frequently with but also works with to help humanity and the ley lines of the world. Each Tower introduces him or herself, gives a brief glimpse into its origins, and shares not only his or her personality, but also a message. Book Review 1: “For those who have been fortunate enough to visit or live by the Delaware Shore you may have seen the WWII Watchtowers and felt their energy. During WWII they guarded, watched and protected the area. You might think that with the war over, their service was too, but that is not the case. Soraya takes us on a journey to meet these amazing Towers. They have taken on such important roles for humanity that I suspect that I won’t be able to grasp all of it, but I feel better knowing they are there taking on these monumental tasks. So, sit back, find a quiet space, open your mind and heart and let Soraya take you on a journey to meet these incredible beings.” -- Deanna Frey, Founder of Blueskyes Journey Book Review 2: "This is a fascinating story about these amazing old Watchtower's and their first hand personal stories of their mission in the now. It wakes us up to the fact that there are far more mystical happenings than one might imagine! Unbeknownst to us, these old buildings are working hard for all of us, to heal our earth, as well as us humans. This is also the story of how they chose Soraya Rose to work with and communicate what it is they are doing, through her Intuitive Gifts. Folks, you will never look at the Watchtowers the same again!" -- Cate Raphael, Akashic Records Consultant and CEO of Joyful Soul Journeys
