Download or read book The Water Horses of Loch Ness written by Roland Watson and published by . This book was released on 2011-08-16 with total page 252 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Back in the 1930s the Loch Ness Monster exploded onto the scene and sent tourists and journalists northwards in their droves to catch a glimpse of this new sensation. But before the Loch Ness Monster there was the Loch Ness Water Horse. Before Nessie there was An Niseag - a devilish creature of notoriety feared and talked about in hushed tones by local people and whom none would dare cross paths with.Today people deny that any such creature ever existed or was known about before the media circus of the thirties began. But the literature of the time says "No" to this and this book sets out to prove the telling of a centuries old story. In this new book, the landscape of the ancient and supernatural Highlands is surveyed and its most feared inhabitant of all - The Water Horse - is unveiled as well as the various haunts in which it lay in wait for its victims. The investigation then begins to home in on the "Each Uisge" of Loch Ness and discovers that its reputation preceded it then as it does now in the realm of lake monsters.Old and forgotten stories of the Kelpie of Loch Ness are found and analysed as well as surprising parallels to how people reacted to the Water Horse then as they do now in disbelief, imagery and both modern and ancient folklore.Finally, the old Highlanders' belief in the supernatural origin of this beast is explored and that thread of belief is traced right through to the modern age with those who continue to think that there is more to the Loch Ness Water Horse than just flesh and blood.

Download or read book The Goblin Universe written by F. Holiday and published by . This book was released on 1990-12-15 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Are paranormal events real, or are they only a figment of our imagination? Ted Holiday addresses this issue with some startling revelations. In "The Goblin Universe" is found the world of the mind - the greater universe. This is the place of psychic phenomena, prophecies, ghosts, poltergeists, UFOs, the Men in Black, dragons, Bigfoot, and the Loch Ness Monster. This amazing world is explored through Ted Holiday's personal experiences and his search for a unified theory of the paranormal. As Colin Wilson points out in the introduction, we must use our intuition, as Holiday did, in order to "see" into the goblin universe - the realm of unexplained illusions. "The Goblin Universe" examines a wide range of fascination "occult" phenomena, and explores the technologies we may use to expand our native psi abilities. In what sense is this a "real" world? Ted Holiday spent the greater part of his life investigating such things, and gained valuable first-hand experience of natural phenomena, which enabled him to develop groundbreaking ideas about what they really are. Throughout history, mankind has been confronted by things that just do not fit with conventional notions of reality, yet scientists have completely failed to come to grips with the mass of evidence that has emerged. Here, at last, is a reasoned argument that offers a new way of thinking about phenomena - the foundations of a new science.

Download or read book Strange Meetings written by Harry Ricketts and published by Random House. This book was released on 2015-02-26 with total page 300 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Strange Meetings provides a highly original account of the War Poets of 1914-1918, written through a series of actual encounters, or near-encounters, from Siegfried Sassoon's first, blushing meeting with Rupert Brooke over kidneys and bacon at Eddie Marsh's breakfasts before the war, through famous moments like Sassoon's encouragement of Owen when both are in hospital at the same time; on to the poignant meeting between Edward Thomas's widow and Ivor Gurney in 1932; and the last, strange lunch and 'longish talk' of Sassoon and David Jones in 1964, half a century after the great war began. Among the other poets and writers we encounter are Vera Brittain, Roland Leighton, Robert Graves, Isaac Rosenberg, Robert Nichols and Edmund Blunden. Ricketts's unusual approach allows him to follow their relationships, marking their responses to each other's work and showing how these affected their own poetry - one potent strand, for example, is the profound influence of Brooke, both as a model to follow and a burden to reject. The stories become intensely personal and vivid - we come to know each of the poets, their family and intellectual backgrounds and their very different personalities. And while the accounts of individual lives achieve the imaginative vividness of a novel, they also give us an entirely fresh sense of Georgian poetry, conveying all the excitement and frustration of poetic creation, and demonstrating how the whole notion of what poetry should be 'about' became fractured and changed for ever by the terrible experiences of the war.
