Ghosts Among Us

The existence of paranormal phenomena is well-known in scientific circles and is also known to many lay people outside of the science community. The forewarning of future events has been professed by many and has been studied and recorded for centuries. Some studies have verified that re-cognitive ability does exist through some people, although they have no idea how they are able to see into the future. It comes to them as a "gift." Some people call it "a curse." Some years ago, I was talking with a coworker and I began to reveal events that were going to occur at work over the coming year. He looked at me like I was crazy, because he felt that my predictions were far-fetched. I couldn't understand how I knew, but the words flowed. I told him that certain people in management were going to be arrested for theft and would be imprisoned. Then, I found myself telling him the exact month that it would happen. I had no first-hand knowledge of any wrong doing and had not heard any gossip. It just came to me without warning. However, four months after I retired, all of my predictions came true. I cannot explain how premonitions come. They just do. It is almost like having a cold. You get over it, and then it comes back again. When I have "an experience," even I can't believe it. That is, until it happens again. It is a phenomenon of extra sensory perception, yet, it remains a mystery. I found out how much I enjoyed writing when my wife, Norma, and daughter, Dianne, encouraged me to record my amazing experiences. Even though most of the incidents are true, some are embellished to protect those who don't want their names in print. Most of the events are unsolved even though I attempt to research the background of each episode. Therefore, this book is a collection of many unsolved, but true mysteries and ghost stories. I hope that you enjoy the stories and will take the time to record your own personal adventures. Earl Thomas
