“If ever any isles deserved the name Magic Islands, it is Britain.” Great Britain, home of haunted castles, famous specters and time-shrouded ruins, is a natural habitat for Professor Hans Holzer, ghost hunter extraordinaire. With the skill and dedication that have made him famous in parapsychology, he has traced the fascinating paths of some remarkable ghosts through Britain and Scotland. In these pages Holzer introduces us to the ancient halls of Longleat, Blanchland, and Leith Hall, each distinctively eerie and all populated by most unusual inhabitants. Through him and skilled mediums working with him, we encounter the ghosts of famous queens—Anne Boleyn, Catherine Howard, Mary Queen of Scots and Katherine Parr. And we travel the English and Scottish countryside in search of engrossing psychic experiences. Holzer also takes us on an eventful tour through the home of Robert Louis Stevenson, who still seems to haunt his former residence. He even investigates the appearance of a monk—an apparition seen by several people—on an English television program. A most entertaining and thoroughly researched trip into that other world, The Great British Ghost Hunt is an exciting journey led by one of this world’s most renowned psychic researchers..

Even with her children home and neighbors nearby, Joan disappeared from her upscale suburban house, never to be heard from again. The search that followed was one of the most intensive investigations of its time, but detectives were unable to identify any suspects. Using extensive police casefiles and hundreds of newspaper articles written about the disappearance, this book carefully explores the story of Joan Risch and the investigation into her disappearance. With the assistance of a former FBI criminal profiler and an LA cold case detective, this book reports previously undisclosed facts from the investigation, including multiple witness statements. Also evaluated are the numerous theories on the disappearance, ultimately revealing a possible explanation of what happened to Joan Risch that fateful October afternoon..

For the first time in the literary tradition, the contemporary woman's historical novel (post-1970) is surveyed from a transnational feminist perspective. Analyzing the maternal (the genre's central theme) reveals that historical fiction is a transnational feminist means for challenging historical erasures, silences, normative sexuality, political exclusion, and divisions of labor.
