We all fear what goes bump in the night, but what if the bump in the night follows you every time you move to a new location. For many years, the same ghosts and specters have haunted the Miller family as they move from house to house and state-to-state. Everywhere they turn, the hauntings continue. The oldest, Kyle, and his two younger siblings, Kristina and younger brother, Kaleb, seem to be the primary targets of these entities. At least, the children seem to think so especially when the old hag chases Kristina into town during the middle of the night. “I leaned over and whispered ‘Demons' to Kris, who only nodded in agreement. Kaleb was sitting between us and he nodded in agreement as well.” This is a gripping and terrifying story based on true events of the Miller family. As adults, they have each come to terms with their individual and collective hauntings.
The hauntings happened to my own family members. Many of these things happened to the kids... the old lady in the closet, being chased in the middle of the night, or the red eyes. Yes, they really happened to the kids, including the hooded figure. In spite of my own experiences, I cannot imagine the terror the children went through growing up. I realize that I had no idea to the extent of things until one day, we (the children and I) started talking about it. It was terrifying and had a lifelong effect on them. Being a writer, though, I naturally thought, “great book idea!” So, with their consent and armed with (our) stories, I have penned, Silent Endurance.

Like a Classic throwback jersey, it recalls favorite players and exciting moments from Cleveland Browns teams of the 1970s, 1980s, 1990s and more. They played it old-school. Doug Dieken set the NFL record for consecutive starts by a left tackle despite three knee surgeries, broken hands and thumbs, torn tendons, a broken arm and “a concussion or two. Maybe four or six. Hard to know.” Ozzie Newsome never expected to play tight end when he was drafted, then practically reinvented the position on his way to the Hall of Fame. Bernie Kosar carried a massive weight on his...

Go inside the astounding and, at times, appalling stories of the mid-1970s University of Georgia football teams like you've never seen, or heard, before. In the mid-'70s, the University of Georgia football team caused quite a stir off the field. Several players had encounters with the manipulative "Godfather of Pro Wrestling" and his money-for-sex scheme. A careless prank aboard a team-chartered airplane resulted in a bomb scare and an FBI inquiry. The mysterious death of a standout teammate in 1976 remained unsolved for decades. Despite it all, a valiant and tenacious head coach and his acclaimed "Junkyard Dogs" defied the odds and developed a celebrated championship team. UGA football writer and historian Patrick Garbin, using extensive interviews with former players and coaches, delivers a true tale of sex, drugs and wild debauchery in college football.
