On The Trail Of The Strange In Alabama

 

I have been interested  in and chasing after high weirdness all my life as a reporter and writer for several newspapers, magazines and social media.

"Ghostly Alabama" is my second book on such matters and I hope to finish and have it for sale within the next few months.  In the book I take a look at many of the "haunted" sites around the state including houses, businesses, bridges, roads,, woodlands and cemeteries. 

Most of these areas host unusual sounds, blobs of light, tracks in the ground, changes in temperature, and ghostly shapes of individuals and animals.

My first book "Manifestations - UFO Sightings and Cow Mutilations in Alabama" covered mostly UFO sightings and the very strange cattle mutilations, particularly those around Fyffe, Alabama. 

My actual experinece with high weirdness has been limited to only one occurrence in an old farm house the family lived in when I was a teenager.  One cold winter night before falling asleep I saw a strange "flat" plate-like light float from one corner of the room to over my bed and back to a corner where it shrank into a tiny point and vanished.  Then, in the center of the room a beam of light glowed for a period of time before going out.

The incident did not scare me as I was more fascinated by it than afraid.

Hopefully this book will be finished in a few months.
