STRANGE DEATHS AND DISAPPEARANCES HAUNT UFOLOGY

By Brad Steiger and Sherry Hansen Steiger

[Excerpted from their book Real Aliens, Space Beings, and Creatures from Other Worlds.  Visible Ink Press, 2011]

The annals of UFOlogy have always been frighteningly filled with the deaths of UFOlogists from unusual cancers, heart attacks, questionable suicides and all manner of strange happenings.  Professor G. Cope Schellhorn has observed that mysterious and suspicious deaths among UFO investigators are almost as old as the phenomenon itself.

In 1971, the well-known author and researcher Otto Binder wrote an article for Saga magazine's Special UFO Report titled "Liquidation of the UFO Investigators.” Binder had researched the deaths of "no less than 137 flying saucer researchers, writers, scientists, and witnesses” who had died in the previous 10 years, "many under the most mysterious circumstances. " The cases Binder offered were loaded with a plethora of alleged heart attacks, suspicious cancers and what appears to be outright examples of murder.

Phil Schneider

Phil Schneider was a self-taught geologist and explosive expert. Of the 129 deep underground facilities Schneider believed that the U.S. government had constructed since World War II, he claimed to have worked in thirteen of them. Schneider maintained that Gray humanoid extraterrestrials worked side by side with American technicians at the bioengineering facility at Dulce, New Mexico.  In 1979, a misunderstanding arose between the aliens and the earthlings. In the ensuing shootout, 66 Secret Service, FBI and Black Berets were killed, along with an unspecified number of Grays. It was during the violent encounter that Schneider received a beam-weapon blast to the chest, which later caused his cancer.

Schneider died Januarv 17, 1996, reportedly strangled by a catheter found wrapped around his neck. If the circumstances of his death seem highly controversial, they are matched by the controversy over his public statements uttered recently before his death.

"Real Zombies, TheLiving Dead and Creatures of the Apocalpyse

Though I am no stranger to those things that go BUMP in the night, I was utterly astounded to find there was actually a category for what I had experienced all my life.   But imagine my continued surprise when I came in contact with all those people who had dedicated their lives to investigating and researching it. 

It wasn't until the Spring of  2006  that I first made my discovery of  internet based radio talk shows and  the world of the paranormal. 

Through a series of serendipitous events, I found myself co-hosting a then popular paranormal talk show on the internet.  And as Lady Fate would have it ... it was there I was first introduced to a man I now call friend.   A man whose soft spoken manner and calm demeanor captured my heart.  Whose talents, knowledge and willingness to share his findings with all the world holds my respect and undying gratitude.     This man of course is none other than the one and only .... Brad Steiger. 

To say Brad has done it again ... is a gross understatement! In his latest work Real Zombies, The Living Dead and Creatures of the Apocalypse, Brad takes us through a world many of us only thought was make believe.  Just part of some crazy movie or T.V. show, a world that only came to life during the telling of  tall tales  around a campfire.  Yes,  a world  most of us foolishly believe only existed in the mind of George Romero. Or for the younger generation,  a world of mere  fantasy to enjoy while dancing to Michael Jackson's hit song Thriller.

Other than the occasional bad dream it was a world that caused no real worries and no real concerns for those who enjoyed a good old fashioned harmless scare.  After all,  these creatures only came to life when cued and then quietly slipped back into the nothingness once the song ended or  just faded away when the credits began to roll.

Nothing to be afraid of.  It's all just made up.   Right?  Right? 

In Real Zombies, Brad takes us on the edge of the surreal as he carefully guides us through this world of Voo Doo, hexes, curses, necromancers, and living shadows that lurk in the dark.  In true Master of the Macabre fashion, Brad  skillfully reminds us  that we are living side by side with real life monstrous minds.     Leaving us, the reader, to  ponder on not so much the creatures themselves, but the maniacal and diabolical genius behind their creation.

We're left wondering ...  What kind of person could do this to another human being ... and why?   What kind of world are we truly living in?    After reading this book, I quickly realized how much the nightly news paled in comparison. And on a more personal note, I found myself feeling sorry for the Devil baby of New Orleans and all the other little Zombies.  But I digress!

I am confidant, that like me, you too will find yourself being educated and enlightened while at the same time being entertained and delightfully scared out of your wits as you read Brad Steiger's  Real Zombies, The Living Dead and Creatures of the Apocalypse 

The contributors (me and some really, really cool para-folk) to Real Zombies, The Living Dead and Creatures of the Apocalypse are some of the world's most gifted and talented men and women dedicated to bringing awareness and truth to a world who is ... for the most part ... unsuspecting! 

Brad has once again skillfully and artfully weaved these contributions together like a beautiful spider web.  Binding it all together with his own research, knowledge and experience.   Of course, this is Brad Steiger's way -- his style if you will.  But then again, what would one expect from a Master Teacher and Story teller,eh?

The many artists who lend their talents make the stories even more enjoyable.  If not scarier!

My only  advise for those who  are faint of heart is to read this book only during the daylight hours and check under your bed before going to sleep!   As for  saying anything else ... well  You'll have to get your own copy and read it for yourself!    My lips have been sewn shut!  ummm ...  are sealed!

Until next time ....

Pleasant .... Dreams?!

TREMENDOUS REVIEW OF REAL ZOMBIES from Haunted America Tours

Real Zombies, the Living Dead, and Creatures of the Apocalypse
By Brad Steiger

 In ... Real Zombies, the Living Dead, and Creatures of the Apocalypse, Brad Steiger [presents] more then just a comprehensive and unsettling study.

Steiger directly addresses, explores and brings forward into the spotlight the many strange traditions too often shrouded in secret throughout the world.

His mission I believe is to dispel the normal sordid beliefs and misunderstandings and the more then just common depictions of what we believe to be the real zombies today.

In this book I feel Mr. Steiger has set a high precedent for others to dare only to follow.

I believe that this book will be the standard by which many new zombie trends will emulate and be measured.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Brad Steiger is what I call the Grande Master of the Paranormal world with his more then many excellent works over the years that have touched the publics haunted curiosity bone.

Oh and of course Brad Steiger has his finger on the true exact pulse of all that is naturally paranormal, extraterrestrial and supernatural.

Real Zombies, the Living Dead, and Creatures of the Apocalypse is not an exception to this rule. If you have not read this more then excellent book, I suggest you do so today.

Through Steiger's many well researched and respected volumes over the years of real eye opening insights, he has brought many new researchers and supernatural investigators to the popular front of the paranormal community today. Including myself.

In a recent radio interview the American Necromancer and student of the Occult Lisa Lee Harp Waugh stated:

"In his very well written newest best selling definitive book, Real Zombies, the Living Dead, and Creatures of the Apocalypse, Visible Ink Press." "Mr. Steiger tears down the myths and taboo's and plainly opens the doors to what many actually fear concentrating the real endeavors of those that practice the black arts of voodoo hoodoo zombification."

"Steiger explores the real truths and legends in the world of real human zombie research of today."

"And I am more then glad I personally could contribute the tales I have learned over the years, because they needed to be told before they became lost in history forever."

"This more then just exceptional exquisite work. The pages filled with art and tales that actually features many chilling first hand accounts and passed down stories of reported real-life zombie encounters from past and present."

"And in reading this you might just start be come a true believer in what real reported Zombies are all about."

This more then fascinating assorted collection includes the stories by Haunted America Tours Senior writer Alyne Pustanio of the evil spawn of Satan, The elusive supernatural "Devil Baby of Bourbon Street", a monstrous creature complete with sharp horns and a long pointed tail that still lurks in the shadows of the New Orleans dark haunted alleys and neighborhood streets.

Black Mama Couteau the often thought of as very strange and real evil Texas Voodoo Queen and the stories of her and the great zombie war, this tale is told by by Lisa Lee Harp Waugh the well known American Necromancer.

In Waugh's recounting of these Texas tales and obscure stories that she heard growing up in the very haunted town of Marshall, Texas. Waugh relates a curios snippet of an army of many hundreds of zombie soldiers battling for the supremacy of their queen.

True or not such urban zombie legends will make you think twice about what the real power of Texas Voodoo Hoodoo Can do.

And don't forget to investigate the swamp child of Mama Crete, who still roams the bayous of Louisiana.
In addition to the stories, a variety of zombie-related facts are directly explored and laid bare, including strange weird ceremonies to create such beings and actual initiations, zombies throughout history, sacred zombie and voodoo-related sites, and zombies and monsters of the Bible.

The book also contains great eye popping artwork by none other then the always wonderful talented mind and ... dark artistic endeavors of the great Bill Oliver, as well as the intense macabre masterpieces of  Ricardo Pustanio, who is also a top designer for New Orleans Mardi Gras Float for the New Orleans Mardi Gras Parade Krewe Of Mid City and a contributing artist for hauntedamericatours.com.

The methodical and very strong works of the unforgettable team of father and son Wm. Michael Mott and Ryan Mott are also featured.

The featured well written contributions of Alyne Pustanio.

The always lively American Necromancer, the always controversial Lisa Lee Harp Waugh.

HPI's lead investigator, an avid paranormal world explorer extraordinary, Paul Dale Roberts, and HPI's lovely superstar the ever beautiful Shannon McCabe.

And special attention should be paid to to the beliefs, tales and understandings of real zombie lore of Chris Holly, the one and only Laurie lee Mistycah, The ever aware Angela Thomas, The insights of Pastor Robin Swope, The art of Jackie Williams, the enlightened Julie Cole, [highlighting added] and the extraordinary talented psychic medium Tuesday Miles.
