Book excerpt: Brent Raynes' newest book, John A. Keel: The Man, The Myths, and the Ongoing Mysteries, chronicles the life of influential ufologist and American journalist, John A. Keel. The Mothman Prophecies movie (2002), a supernatural thriller starring Richard Gere, was loosely based on Keel's book of the same title. Brent had established a personal relationship with John Keel in 1969. Shortly after the movie's release, both men discussed its portrayal of Keel's book. Overall, Keel was satisfied that the movie had effectively captured both the essence of the foreboding atmosphere surrounding Point Pleasant, and the varied, inexplicable occurrences that residents experienced during that period.What sets Raynes' remarkable book apart from other books about Keel's life and work is both his personal relationship with Keel, and his unique, conversational, and intimate writing style. Raynes' book describes additional mysterious occurrences surrounding the legend of the Mothman Prophecies, similar to the cases in the movie. Join Raynes as he explores the true and incredible events Keel investigated. Keel's pioneering work continues to influence the author in addition to researchers who carry on studies of these "ongoing mysteries."

Book excerpt: Someone, we know not who, once called Jadoo "the greatest book ever written on the black magic of the Orient." But we do know that there will never again be another book like it. Jadoo, a Hindi word meaning "Black Magic," captures a world that is now lost to us-the strange, dark, mysterious world that was once called the "Orient." This story of a real-life Indiana Jones of the 1950s named John Keel contains everything but a trip to Venus in a flying saucer--a subject our newsman/explorer would become famous for a decade later. In Egypt, the fearless Keel was cursed by a mummy and befriended members of a strange snake-charming cult. In Iraq, he played Russian roulette with a notorious desert bandit and lived among the Yezidi devil-worshippers. Later, in India, he was buried alive and discovered the secret of the Indian rope trick, which he then performed for incredulous reporters in New Delhi. And in a riveting finale, he chased the Abominable Snowman through the little known Himalayan kingdom of Sikkim before being unceremoniously booted out of Singapore for being "an undesirable alien." This new edition contains material never before published.

Download or read book Flying Saucer to the Center of Your Mind Selected Writings of John A Keel written by John Keel and published by . This book was released on 2013-08-09 with total page 284 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: New Saucerian proudly presents "Flying Saucer to the Center of Your Mind," a collection of magazine articles and lectures by John Keel, the man many consider to have been the 20th Century's premiere investigator of all things unusual and "Fortean." Many of the articles in this anthology and its companion volumes, "The Outer Limits of the Twilight Zone" and "Searching For the String," were revolutionary, and explored ideas popularized in Keel's classic books. Written in Keel's engaging trademark style, they are sure to delight fans with their fresh, unparalleled insights into the nature of reality. In these pages, John Keel displays the keen observational skills and investigative tenacity that made him the enfant terrible of ufology for decades. In this no-holds-barred analysis - some of which was written almost 50 years ago - Keel shreds most of the sacred-cow beliefs still held by many in ufological and "cryptozoological" circles today, presenting theories so radical that they are only now becoming accepted: the "4-D" or "interdimensional" thesis; the "breakaway civilization" theory; the possible role of "ancient aliens" in human history; the synthetic and/or hallucinatory nature of many "alien abduction" and "Men in Black" encounters; the role of spy agencies in paranormal research; and the alarming connection between UFOs, animal mutilations, and attacks on unsuspecting humans. In short, "Flying Saucer to the Center of Your Mind" is witty, incisive, impassioned, and prescient, and cohesively brings Keel's message into focus in a way that perhaps no other book has. This 2013 edition features illuminating forewords by noted writers Gray Barker and Tessa B. Dick (widow of science-fiction writer Philip K. Dick), as well as an introduction by the editor, Andy Colvin (author of "The Mothman's Photographer" and "Mothman Speaks").

Download or read book John Keel s Book of UFOs the Best of Flying Saucers Magazine written by Raymond Palmer and published by . This book was released on 2018-11-22 with total page 168 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the late 1960s and early 1970s, when he was subject to nonstop surveillance and harassment from both human and supernatural spooks, intrepid Fortean investigator John A. Keel made extensive field notes concerning the phenomena he was confronting in West Virginia and New York: UFOs, Men in Black, creature entities, ultraterrestrials, and odd coincidences and synchronicities. The result was a series of concise, thematically related reports, many of which were incorporated into magazine articles for Saga, Fate, Flying Saucer Review, and Flying Saucers magazine. In those articles, Keel unraveled threads discussed in his classic books "Operation Trojan Horse," "The Mothman Prophecies," and "The Eighth Tower," which were written soon after. Utilizing occult lore, recent scientific research, and direct personal investigation, Keel drew back the curtain on the mind-blowing nature of our terrestrial reality. In this volume, we look at Keel's favorite articles from Flying Saucers magazine, which was published and edited largely by Ray Palmer. Keel went on record as saying that he thought Palmer was the "father of ufology," and he helped Palmer by submitting many articles to the magazine, and even helping with editing chores whenever possible. This special Keel-curated edition features interesting articles by Keel, Palmer, Brad Steiger, Gray Barker, Brent Raynes, Peter Guttilla, William Cullen, Larry Bryant, Alois Knapp, Tom Lingham, Jennifer Stevens, Erich Aggen, Jr., Dennis Stamey, Alberto Perego, T. Scott Crain, and Hans Lauritzen.

Download or read book Strange Creatures from Time and Space written by John Keel and published by . This book was released on 2014-05-09 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: John Keel's "Strange Creatures From Time and Space," originally published in 1970 with artwork by Frank Frazetta, is a comprehensive encyclopedia of monsters from around the world, including: -Fantastic flying saucer occupants -True psychic phenomena -Phantom killers of people and livestock -The full story of West Virginia's man-bird, "Mothman" -The elusive "Bigfoot," Sasquatch, and Yeti -Giants of Minnesota and the Appalachians -Sea serpents and lake creatures -Vampires and werewolves -Angels and demons -The dangerous and enigmatic Men in Black (MIB) John A. Keel has been on the trail of weirdness for decades, investigating wild tales of alien abduction, hairy monsters, and mysterious entities that can terrify and even harm humans. He has become the top man in the field of the inexplicable. Keel actually has explanations for the unusual things he recounts - which have long left others baffled. In this mountain of way-out evidence, he sees a pattern and draws original, startling, and convincing conclusions. Keel was born in monster country - on a farm in Silver Lake, New York, home of one of America's native sea serpents. He began writing articles on UFOs in 1945, two years before the ufomania began. In 1952, he produced a Halloween broadcast from the Frankenstein Castle in Germany, and in 1954 he saw his first flying saucer while exploring the Upper Nile. For years, Keel wandered around Asia in search of the secrets of the occult. The last American to enter Tibet from the Indian side, Keel spent weeks tracking the Yeti. After having written many books and magazine articles, Keel remains an open-minded skeptic. There is no one better qualified to report on and interpret today's flood of "anti-rational" evidence than Keel.

Book excerpt: “Loren Coleman has taken a hard look at one of America’s most haunting monsters and discovered that it’s more terrifying than we ever knew. Read this book now—before it’s too late. You’ve been warned.” —Richard Hatem, screenwriter, The Mothman Prophecies Mothman: Evil Incarnate, by cryptozoologist Loren Coleman, is a brand new companion title to the late John Keel’s The Mothman Prophecies (1975), which investigated the sightings of a winged creature called Mothman and became popularized in the 2002 movie of the same name starring Richard Gere.

Download or read book The Best of John Keel written by John Keel and published by . This book was released on 2014-05-22 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: John A. Keel has been entertaining, amazing, and infuriating readers since the 1940s. There's nobody quite like him; he's as much an anomaly as the puzzling creatures and events that he's been reporting on all these years. This collection offers a lively sample of Keel's "Beyond the Known," the column he wrote for FATE for many years. Whether it was cryptozoology, World War II enigmas, fairies and wee folk, or things falling from the sky, Keel was always ready to hop into a car and track down weirdness wherever it was happening. His wide range of interests - magic, comedy, religion, technology, philosophy, biology - give him a broad outlook and keep him curious. Keel has been a consultant for the Army and Air Force; science editor for Funk & Wagnalls; and a writer for television talk shows and sitcoms. He has received honorary Ph.D.'s for his work in herpetology and archaeology. Keel's startling ideas, hard-won by primary research, fieldwork, and footwork, have kept him controversial, with equally noisy admirers and detractors. Believers and non-believers alike will enjoy the playful banter Keel uses to encourage all his readers to question their beliefs and the nature of reality.

Download or read book The Eighth Tower written by John A. Keel and published by . This book was released on 2013-12 with total page 266 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: John Keel's disturbing follow-up to THE MOTHMAN PROPHECIES Is there a single intelligent force behind all religious, occult, and UFO phenomena? Strange manifestations have haunted humans since prehistoric times. Beams of light, voices from the heavens, the "little people," gods and devils, ghosts and monsters, and UFOs, have all had a prominent place in our history and legends. In this dark work, John Keel explores these phenomena, and in doing so reveals the shocking truth about our present position and future destiny in the cosmic scheme of things. Are we pawns in a celestial game? In the Orient, there is a story told of the seven towers. These citadels, well hidden from mankind, are occupied by groups of Satanists who are chanting the world to ruin. Perhaps this is just a story; perhaps there is some truth behind it. But what if there is yet another tower, a tower not of good or evil but of infinite power? What if all our destinies are controlled by this cosmic force for its own mysterious purposes? And what if UFOs and other paranormal manifestations are merely tools being used to manipulate us and guide us toward the cosmic role we are fated to play? Perhaps, after all, we are not independent beings but are instead the creations and slaves of the eighth tower.

Download or read book The Book of Mothman written by John Keel and published by . This book was released on 2015-01-17 with total page 278 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: New Saucerian Press proudly presents John Keel's "The Book of Mothman: Everything You Ever Wanted to Know About Reality Distortion But Were Afraid to Ask." The chapters in this Keel-approved collection, culled from New Saucerian's four recently published "Selected Writings of John Keel" books ("Flying Saucer to the Center of Your Mind," "The Outer Limits of the Twilight Zone," "Searching For the String," and "The Great Phonograph in the Sky"), coalesce to create a dazzling, mind-blowing "unified theory" concerning the paraphysical distortions and "glitches" seemingly invading our reality. Many of the articles in "The Book of Mothman" were written years before Keel's "Mothman Prophecies," while others were written years afterwards, making it a very unique and valuable source. With the addition of several 1990s lectures and an interview from 2003 - Keel's last on Mothman - researchers and enthusiasts gain a better sense of just what was going on in West Virginia and the Ohio Valley in the 1960s and '70s. True to form, Keel takes on the endless variety of high-strangeness surrounding Mothman and Mothman witnesses, such as UFOs, MIBs, little green men, hairy monsters, giants, animal mutilations, hypnotism, shapeshifting, psychological warfare, missing time, and phantom aircraft, automobiles, and humans. This special edition features a brilliant introduction by Gray Barker, a recently discovered foreword by John Keel, and a note from the editor, Andy Colvin.
