Download or read book Haunted Hikes written by Andrea Lankford and published by Santa Monica Press. This book was released on 2006-04-01 with total page 377 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ghosts! Curses! Hoaxes! Unsolved mysteries! Paranormal events! Take a walk on the creepy side of North America's National Parks! Andrea Lankford, a 12-year veteran ranger with the National Park Service, has written a thoroughly investigated yet often tongue-in-cheek guidebook that takes the reader to the scariest, most mysterious places inside North America's National Parks. Lankford shares such eerie tales as John Brown's haunting of Harper's Ferry, the disembodied legs that have been seen running around inside the Mammoth Cave Visitor Center, and the "wailing woman" who roams the trail behind the Grand Canyon Lodge. Lankford also uncovers paranormal activities park visitors have experienced, such as the chupacabra that roams the swamps inside Big Thicket National Preserve and the teenage bigfoot who rolled a park service campground with toilet paper. She also reports on long-forgotten unsolved murders, such as the savage stabbing of a young woman on Yosemite's trail to Mirror Lake, and the execution style shooting of two General Motors executives at Crater Lake. The witnesses to the supernatural occurrences are highly credible people-rangers, park historians, river guides, and the like-and each tale has factual relevance to the cultural or natural history of the park. Haunted Hikes provides readers with all the information they need: for each hike: a "fright factor rating" is listed along with trailhead access information, detailed trail maps, and hike difficulty levels. Most of the haunted sites included in the book can be reached by the average hiker, some are wheelchair accessible, and others are for intrepid backpackers willing to make multi-day treks into wilderness areas. Intriguing photographs of many sites are included. Haunted Hikes is sure to satisfy readers looking for those spine-tingling moments when you begin to wonder if maybe, just maybe, we are not alone.
Book Synopsis To The Yukon and Beyond Along the Gold Rush Trail by : Daniel S. Holder
Download or read book To The Yukon and Beyond Along the Gold Rush Trail written by Daniel S. Holder and published by Page Publishing Inc. This book was released on 2016-11-22 with total page 342 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: SHARING THE EXPERIENCE AND THE HISTORY At twenty-one, a young man still in college, Dan Holder had an opportunity for adventure when his older stepbrother Kyn asked him to join an expedition. Along with Kyn’s wife Ella and Kyn’s sister Nance, they traveled in a small boat over 1,200 miles down the Yukon River through Canada’s Yukon Territory and into Alaska. That was in 1966, well after the gold rush of 1898 when the river had been heavily traveled by gold seekers aboard small rafts, hand-sewn rowboats, some with sails, and large stern-wheelers. In 1966, the Yukon was basically a wilderness river with a few widely separated small towns along its shore, a number of deserted cabins left by trappers and prospectors, and deserted trading posts. Birds and bears were plentiful. There were no guided tours at that time. The many branching channels of the Yukon Flats downriver from Dawson were a serious challenge. Now as an author, he shares with his readers that experience and the historical background that puts it in perspective. The author also shares the experience of going back to Alaska with Kyn in 1971 on a fifty-five-foot fishing boat. In Seattle, they rerigged the boat from a seiner to a salmon troller. They followed the gold rush route north to brave the challenges of fishing offshore on the Mt. Fairweather fishing grounds. He shares the excitement of nearly being swept onto the rocks by huge waves in a treacherous inlet and riding out hurricane force winds and thirty to forty-foot waves offshore. After leaving the boat, he hiked alone over the infamous Chilkoot trail reaching the snow-covered summit of the Chilkoot Pass near midnight in the Artic twilight on the longest day of the year, not knowing if the trail would be passable. In 2002, the author and his wife Sybille retraced some of the early Alaska fishing voyage on a cruise ship. It was a very different kind of a trip, but it brought back old memories and generated a few exciting new ones. If you enjoy firsthand adventure and if you are intrigued by the atmosphere and the history of the Pacific Northwest, then you should really enjoy this book.

Book Synopsis Hollywood North by : Michael Libling
Download or read book Hollywood North written by Michael Libling and published by Open Road Media. This book was released on 2020-07-14 with total page 390 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Libling’s assured, quietly menacing debut [is] based on his World Fantasy Award–nominated novella of the same title. . . . Fans of Stand by Me and the like will find much to enjoy.” —Publishers Weekly It’s the 1960s, and Gus Berry is coming of age in Trenton, a small town on the north shore of Lake Ontario. The place isn’t known for much—unless you count the menacing stray dogs, plant explosions, plane collisions, and regular drownings. The adults seem to take it all in stride, but Gus can’t shake the feeling of impending doom. His friend Annie Barker doesn’t share Gus’s dark thoughts; she believes in things. So Gus goes about his days, surviving school, trying to live up to his widowed mother’s expectations, and growing increasingly obsessed with movies and TV shows. Indeed, he scripts his life to make it way more exciting and adventurous than it actually is. Gus is clearly a boy who wants things, which makes Jack Levin the perfect friend. He’s a local hero famous for finding stuff : a message in a bottle, a meteorite, a long-lost wedding ring. And when Jack makes his most mysterious discovery yet, Gus and Annie are drawn with him into an investigation of Trenton’s past. Guided by their curiosity, they soon uncover a malignant darkness behind the town’s senseless tragedies. In Hollywood North, World Fantasy Award–nominated author Michael Libling “spins a tale of movies and memories, nightmares and nostalgia, with such a frightening secret at its core, that you’ll understand why, even though you can go home again, you might end up wishing you didn’t” (Ian Rogers, author of Every House Is Haunted). “[A] fine first novel . . . Bradbury might have sketched out this mode in the darker parts of Dandelion Wine and the entirety of Something Wicked This Way Comes, but contemporary authors such as Libling are showing us refinements of sensibility and sense of wonder that the old Waukeganian never dreamed of.” —Locus
Book Synopsis Five Ring Circus by : Christopher A. Shaw
Download or read book Five Ring Circus written by Christopher A. Shaw and published by New Society Publishers. This book was released on 2008-07-01 with total page 337 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The shiny rings of the Olympic Games have grown tarnished over the years as doping, corruption and other scandals rise to the surface. Those scandals are the tip of the iceberg, according to author Christopher Shaw, the lead spokesperson for several anti-Games groups. Five Ring Circus details the history of how Vancouver won the bid for the 2010 Games, who was involved, and what the real motives were. It describes the role of corporate media in promoting the Games, the machinations of government and business, and the opposition that emerged. Disturbing questions come to light: Why does the IOC pay no taxes? Who are the real estate developers behind the Vancouver bid? Why are mega projects paid for with tax dollars? What are the true costs of the Games? The Olympic Games, once considered the pinnacle of athleticism and fair play, have become a cesspool of greed, backroom deals and the wholesale trampling of civil liberties. In Vancouver, preparations for the 2010 Games have had a substantial negative impact on the environment and has resulted in the "economic cleansing" of the poor and homeless. This book is a cautionary tale for future Olympic bid cities, and will appeal to those concerned about the effects of globalization on many aspects of life.
