Download or read book Spirit Sleuths written by Gail Jarrow and published by Astra Publishing House. This book was released on 2024-09-10 with total page 178 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The latest from acclaimed author Gail Jarrow reveals how magicians—including Harry Houdini and his team of investigators—exposed fake mediums who exploited the vulnerable and gullible in the early twentieth century. After millions of people died during World War I and from the 1918 influenza pandemic, the popularity of Spiritualism soared. Desperate to communicate with their dead loved ones, the bereaved fell prey to extortion by fraudulent mediums and fortune-tellers. But magician Harry Houdini wasn't fooled. He recognized the scammers' methods as no more than conjurer's tricks. Angered by the way people were exploited, Houdini set out to expose the ghost hoaxes. In his stage show, he revealed the fraudsters’ techniques, and he used a team of undercover investigators to collect proof of séance deceptions. His head secret agent was a young New York private detective and disguise expert, Rose Mackenberg—a woman who continued her ghost-busting career for decades, long after Houdini's death in 1926. Ideal for young readers and adults who are drawn to the worlds of psychics and magicians, this riveting book uncovers a little-known chapter in American history and details the ways people were (and still are) deceived by mediums and fortune-tellers.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A great drought has swept across western North America. The bison are dying, and with them The People. The Chosen One was murdered long ago and The Sacred Relics of the Ancestors stolen. Running Bison is desperate. He and Prairie Grass have traveled far to the west, following a 'gut instinct' in search of Clover Blossom. He hopes that the old woman has the Sacred Relics... but he arrives too late. Clover Blossom is dead and her granddaughter, Sage has fled. Running Bison sees all hope for The People vanishing along with her. Sage has indeed fled; her grandmothers dying words frightening her into taking a large vicious dog and only what she can load on a single travois, along with the strange packet she knows contains 'spirit power'. She has been instructed to protect it with her life, and return it to The People. Set against the Panorama of the Rocky Mountains and Great Plains of North America during late Paleo-Indian's Agate Basin Period, 9,500 years ago, The Spirit Hunters attempts to portray the way of life, the pain, agony, and joy of these early Americans. Get swept along in the life and death struggle of The People as they seek to survive the drought, the wrath of the 'spirits', and the deadly attacks of Raiders and Savages. Their only hope is the powerful leader Running Bison and an even more powerful woman, 'The Chosen'.

Download or read book THE SPIRIT OF THE ANTI CHRIST written by Minister Robert Johnson and published by Christian Faith Publishing, Inc.. This book was released on 2018-10-02 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a very revealing and enlightening book about the anti-christ. Pastor Robert Johnson has sought to inform the reader on a biblical level, which is what matters most. He has brought together the scriptures from various passages in the Bible and place them in context to give those who desire a better understanding of the mystery of the anti-christ, his going forth upon the earth and his end. In this book, Robert Johnson goes to great length to employ sound hermeneutics and exercises great care to exegete the scriptures properly. As Robert mentions, this book will offend some, but for those who are truly seeking a better understanding of this "mystery" found in God's Word it is an enlightening and in-depth study of the "mystery of Iniquity." If there is one book of prophecy you read this year let it be this one. I strongly encourage Christians and serious students of the Bible to read it. Pastor Clifford Little Green's Tabernacle Baptist Church Macon, Georgia
