Looking for Christmas gifts with a decidedly paranormal twist? Here are some suggestions for friends and family – or perhaps a treat for yourself, from your About Guide.
1. Christmas Miracles: Inspirational Stories of True Holiday Magic
Brad Steiger and Sherry Hansen Steiger share some remarkable and often inspiring stories they have collected of little miracles and unexplained events with a Christmas theme. Most of the stories are short, so it's the kind of book you can pick up and read whenever you're in the mood - or need a bit of Christmas spirit.
2. Classic FATE Poster
Just about everyone who is into the paranormal is familiar with FATE magazine, which has been reporting on the subject since 1948. Now you can get a very cool 11x17 poster depicting the very first cover of the magazine (UFOs closing in on a small airplane). I bought one for myself. The FATE store also offers books, a calendar, T-shirts, gemstones and more.
3. 2005 Crop Circle Calendar by Lucy Pringle
Everyone needs a calendar for the new year, and it would be hard to find one that's more beautiful and interesting as this one – whether the recipient is into the paranormal or not. The calendar features spectacular photos of the crop circle enigma taken by Lucy Pringle, who is the foremost photographer of the phenomenon.4. Unsolved Mysteries DVDs
When "Unsolved Mysteries" originally aired on TV, I would look forward to it every week. And as good as the segments were on unsolved crimes and lost loves, it should come as no surprise that I especially relished the segments on ghosts, miraculous events and UFOs. Now paranormal junkies like me can watch all our favorite segments compiled on DVDs. There are currently three boxed sets: Ghosts, UFOs and Miracles.5. Ghost Hunting: How to Investigate the Paranormal
Author Loyd Auerbach has been investigating ghost and haunting phenomena for well over 25 years and is considered one of the top authorities on the subject. In this new book, Auerbach explains the difference among ghosts, hauntings and poltergeists; how to investigate; how to get rid of unwanted spirits; even how to befriend a ghost!6.
