About this listen
More tales of UFOs and the paranormal!
A Psychic Reader, in this final volume of The Road to Strange series; we include even more tales of the weird and the bizarre.
Following in the spirit of John Keel and other Fortean writers, Michael Brein continues the tradition of collecting the best of even more startling and amazing true tales of UFOs and aliens, the paranormal, and high strangeness from nearly 2,000 interviews with people he has encountered in his travels all over the world.
Maintains Michael, "If but some of these (tales) are true - as plenty of them doubtlessly must be - what are we to make of it all"?
Indeed, in this fourth and final book of The Road to Strange series, Michael Brein presents even more compelling cases of the strange that force us to consider that we may just need to expand our paradigms after all to incorporate truths that may be way beyond our current understanding!
A Psychic Reader also contains a few surprise exclusive interviews granted to Michael by some of Ufology's all-time greats, including Stanton T. Friedman, Dr. Richard F. Haines, Linda M. Howe, Dr. J. Allen Hynek, Dr. Bruce Maccabee, and others.
In this final walk along The Road to Strange, we examine an expanded collection of tales of UFOs, the paranormal, and the strange with an in-depth look at even more genres of such subjects. We examine in detail what more we can learn from an expanded look at even more true tales of the truly strange and the unknown.
In this book you'll find some very convincing true reports including a wide variety of personal accounts of the paranormal and the strange including UFOs and aliens, ghosts and hauntings, synchronicity, miracles and healings, the mystical and spiritual, déjà vus, past lives and reincarnation, crop circles, macumba and black magic, premonitions and precognitions, out-of-body and near-death experiences, encounters with bigfoot and cryptids, telepathy, mind-over-matter, animal communication, and much more.
And true to form, Dr. Michael Brein dons his psychologist, ufologist, and parapsychologist hats as he gives his expert and often creative and provocative commentary after each and every account in A Psychic Reader, in his best attempt to increase our knowledge, understanding, and perspectives of these truly perplexing and strange vagaries of human experience.

Story
Humanity's biggest mystery, the alien presence on Earth, continues! The US Pentagon admits not only are we not alone, but that we need to revive our study and understanding of what is really going on in our skies. In this audiobook, we examine UFOs and the paranormal, with an expanded look at the lives of people who not only have had at least one major UFO or paranormal experience, but who have even had a lifetime of such experiences. We examine in depth what more we can learn from people who have had multiple, repeat experiences of the strange and the unknown.

In Dimensions, Dr. Jacques Vallee reexamines the historical record that led to the modern UFO phenomenon and to the belief in alien contact. He then tackles the enigma of abduction reports, which come from various times and various countries, as well as the psychic and spiritual components of the contact experience. In the last portion of the book, he notes the factors that inhibit research into the phenomenon - the triple coverup and political motivations - and concludes that the extraterrestrial theory is simply not strange enough to explain the facts.

This book represents the cutting edge of UFO research, with 10 new and original firsthand accounts of very close encounters with UFOs and aliens. The majority of these cases come from fully conscious recall rather than memories retrieved through hypnosis. Face-to-face confrontations, missing time, onboard UFO experiences--these accounts show what it’s like to have direct contact with beings from beyond Earth.

They live in shadows - deep in the forest, late in the night, in the dark recesses of our minds. They're spoken of in stories and superstitions, relics of an unenlightened age, old wives' tales, passed down through generations. Yet no matter how wary and jaded we have become, as individuals or as a society, a part of us remains vulnerable to them: werewolves and wendigos, poltergeists and vampires, angry elves and vengeful spirits.

What do you do when you discover information that is before its time? What do you do when your curiosity takes you on an adventure that is so bizarre that there is nothing normal to relate to? This is what happened to Dolores Cannon in 1968, long before she began her career as a past-life hypnotherapist and regressionist. Travel back with us to that time when the words reincarnation, past-lives, regression, walk-ins, New Age were unknown to the general population.
