In this issue:  REINCARNATION is in the news with the Kindle release of one of my books… adventures On the Paranormal Road… upcoming events… Article on author Michael Talbot’s past-life recall that inspired his vampire novel.

I’m back in New England after an extended summer stay in the Pacific Northwest.  Just before I departed, I paid a visit to the ECETI Ranch (Enlightened Contact with Extra-Terrestrial Intelligence) near Mt. Adams, located in a paranormal hot zone.  My report on that, and my interview with owner James Gilliland, will be in a future issue of Strange Dimensions.

NEW BOOK RELEASES

I have updated my book on reincarnation and republished it as an e-book titled Rosemary Ellen Guiley’s Soul Journeys: Past Lives & Reincarnation.  It is available in Kindle format only at http://amzn.to/p5sIev

The original title was Tales of Reincarnation. Robert Michael Place designed the smashing new cover from one of his spectacular Tarot cards in his Tarot of the Sevenfold Mystery.

The book has many dramatic reincarnation stories, including quite a few original ones given to me in exclusive interviews.  In addition, it provides a comprehensive, thorough examination of beliefs about reincarnation, scientific investigations, the karmic holdovers of past lives, and how the past can help us lead better lives today and build better lives for the future.  I added a new chapter on spirit communications and psychophysical research to document reincarnation.

At four, “Elizabeth” already knew that she was different  from other  people, though she didn’t necessarily understand why or how. She first tasted blood at age 11. It wasn’t until later that she became familiar with the term vampire. By 15, she was drinking blood regularly, thanks to her first steady donor. Nearly a quarter-century later, she still imbibes about once a week. She doesn’t suck blood from the necks of her willing food sources, however, which is but one of the things you may find surprising about “Elizabeth” and others like her.
Perhaps no other cultural figure has inspired such a wide variety of emotions as the vampire, ranging from fear to arousal, revulsion to envy. The image of this mystical figure Read the rest of this entry »

The Bloodsucking Corpse of English Tradition.

“A deadly thing,” they say, “has fastened on him;

“He has taken to his bed and will never get up again.” —Psalm 41:8,

"The Vampire" by Philip Brune-Jones circa 1897.

Of all the monsters that haunted our traditional folklore, none has so fascinated the modern mind as the vampire. Man, demon, or some combination of both, the vampire stepped to center stage in our popular culture with the publication of Bram Stoker’s Dracula in 1897, and his influence shows no sign of waning at the beginning of the 21st century. But as the image of the fictional vampire lives on, we gradually lose sight of the traditional vampire, the vampire of folklore and history, a creature more ancient and more terrible than a thousand Wallachian princes. This monster did not keep a polite distance before the kill like some aristocratic stranger; instead, he was a friend, a neighbor—even the husband who once shared your bed. He was a corpse who returned from the grave to kill. Read the rest of this entry »
