“Paranormal Confessions is a wonderfully creepy book. After spending a few nights at the Bellaire House and experiencing the spirits within its walls. I can say it's very haunted and still has a few secrets to share…” —Johnny Zaffis, Paranormal Investigator True stories of hauntings, possessions, and things that go bump in the night at one of the most haunted places in the world. Built in 1847 on the banks of the Ohio River, the Bellaire House is reputed to be one of the most haunted houses in America. Since the early twentieth century it has earned a reputation as a hotbed of paranormal activity, with reports of apparitions, curses, psychic assaults, and violence. This is a collection of true ghost stories from the owner of the Bellaire House and the proprietor of the Bellaire House Afterlife Research Center. It is a mix of lurid and heartwarming stories that both entertain and convey to the reader what the dead want us to know. Stories include accounts of a ghostly sexual assault, communications from spirits of slaves (the house was part of the Underground Railroad) and French and Native American ghosts from the eighteenth-century battlefield, and tales of madness.
As the headlines warn of a world seemingly taking steps backward, behavioral scientist Kristen Lee shares a groundbreaking new psychology of thinking that will propel you forward with a fresh mind-set that inspires connection, collaboration, and creativity. Based on twenty-two years of clinical practice and neuro-scientific research. Dr. Kristen Lee teaches us how to rip up the script society hands us and to see the world through a series of different lenses: The Reflective Lens, The Mindful Lens, the Global Lens, and the Imagineering Lens. Through exercises, worksheets, and thought-provoking anecdotes and case studies, Lee teaches how to cultivate Upward Spiral Habits that are less I-focused and more we-focused, and that will make a positive difference in our circles and beyond. Rather than striving for preconceived notions of "success" that leave us boxed in, depleted, and oblivious to ways we can work together, Mentalligence helps us break out of our comfort zones, elevate our thinking, and develop the behavioral agility to work toward what Positive Psychologists call "The Good Life," one characterized by authentic connections and impact.
"Lee shares a powerful guide to help you access your inner resources of courage, resilience, and creativity"--
