Page 03: Pilots and UFOs ‐ Flying the Deadly Skies: By John Prytz. There have been many pilots who have died in the course of flying their aircraft, and their deaths have not involved UFOs. On the other hand, there have (by now) been thousands of encounters between pilots and UFOs that have not involved death. However, there appears to be an intersection between these two cate‐ gories. The phrase 'unidentified flying objects' suggests that UFOs have an affinity with our terrestrial pilots ‐ i.e. both fly and seem to share our airspace. John Prytz delves into reports of UFOs seen by pilots... Page 09: Are ’we’ the ghost, or are they?: Nigel C. Wright. Hi everyone! In this brief article I outline a theory about ghosts, which I have been thinking about for quite some time now. For hundreds of years now the argument about just what ghosts are has rumbled on in paranormal and religious circles. In this approach to the subject I attempt to apply a new way of thinking about this tricky matter. Is it right? Are we totally wrong when we assume that ghosts are the souls of the departed? Maybe!... Nigel C. Wright leaves it up to you to decide. Page 15: Three in a Bed ‐ The case of the Snoring Man: By Archie Lawrie. All cases I investigate (this one took place o the Scottish Borders) I find interesting, but some cases are, by their very nature, more interesting than others and as this one is such an outstanding case I will deal with it in a more thorough manner. In that way dedicated researchers can glean more details from it than usual, thus enabling them to better form their own opinions as to the merits of the case. Archie Lawrie describes the strange goings on in this fascinating case... Page 23: Mount Shasta ‐ Mystical Mecca: By Paul Dale Roberts. Legend has it that the last of the Lemurians migrated to the underground caverns of Mount Shasta. There have been reports that mystical beings have been seen wearing robes coming out of the caverns. They are described as tall, having what appears to be a third eye on their forehead. Reports say that they have pale skin. In 1962, Roger Hemmings and a group of camping friends saw three robed men come out of a cavern and descend down the mountain. A very odd mystery... that Paul Dale Roberts looks in to. Page 31: From Disappointment to Discovery: By Michael Reuel. According to writer Michael Reuel, most attempts at writing ghost stories lead to ‘drab and unsatisfying’ conclusions. So why would he write one for his first published work?, I asked. To say there is quite an array of ghostly goings‐on in ‘Not Far From Aviemore’ is something of an understatement. Demonology, manifes‐ tations and the occult are applied in many blatant and surreptitious ways that give no impression of timid‐ ity over the subject matter. Yet it turns out that being there was a complete surprise to Reuel. ‘I guess a good story draws you in,’ he replied... Page 35: UFO and Paranormal News from around the world: By Varied Authors.

Page 39: Island of the Dolls: By David Weatherly. This new article shares a strange resonance with the propensity of people to try to assuage unquiet sprits with gifts. One example can be seen in the world famous ‘Mary Kings Close’ in Edinburgh, where visitors to the attraction, which is situated on Edinburgh’s ‘Royal Mile’, have left many gifts of toys (mainly dolls) as gifts for the spirit of a little girl who is said to have died in one particular room in the ‘Close’. This practice can also often be seen in cemeteries where toys are often left on the graves of young children.

Page 45: And Away We Go…: By Timothy Green Beckley. Taken out of the realm of urban myth, this twice told tale can finally be confirmed! Yes, indeed, it’s time to set the record straight, thanks to a little help from an expatriate friend of mine now residing with his family in the UK. For years, rumors had swirled about in UFOlogical circles that the late comedian Jackie Gleason was among a handful who had witnessed something so rare and so bizarre that their experience defies rationality to the point where utter disbelief sets in and the story has got to be denied in order to keep one’s sanity. Timothy Green Beckley explains...
