The Psychic Tourist

Heather Graham. The Presence (Mira). Mira, 20040901
077832074X From Publishers Weekly As a child, Toni Fraser has chillingly accurate dreams of murders about to be committed, a psychic gift she suppresses. Years later, Toni and five friends follow a real-life dream: they procure a ruined Scottish castle and turn it into a tourist attraction, highlighted by a faux historical show Toni scripts about a murderously passionate Cromwellian-period laird, Bruce MacNiall. Of course, the laird is fictional, as is Toni's terrifying tale of his wife's strangling. Or so it seems--until an angry kilted hunk thunders onstage one night atop a black stallion, claiming to be the castle's absentee owner, Bruce MacNiall. Ghost? Not likely. But when several missing girls are found strangled to death in the surrounding forest, it certainly appears that some murderous spirit is very much alive. The author's seamless incorporation of just a few supernatural elements into an otherwise solidly real situation makes the nightmarish threat believable. But more than anything, Graham's (Haunted, etc.) deft characterization of Toni and her friends (who are as funny and familiar as the cast of "Friends"), and especially the laird, mysterious but never one-dimensionally goth, keeps interest in the book's romance, as well as its suspense, high.

From Booklist As a girl, Toni Fraser had vivid nightmares that perfectly depicted real murders in real time. As an adult, she and four friends and her Scottish cousin rent a dilapidated Highlands castle and renovate it as the backdrop for dramatic reenactments. Unfortunately, the castle's rightful owner, laird Bruce MacNiall, who looks like a hero in Toni's stories, is shocked to find them there. But he doesn't boot the Americans out; he just wants them to stay out of the woods, where it becomes apparent that a serial killer has been disposing of the bodies of young women. Toni, who has always feared her paranormal talents, is then contacted by a ghost who looks just like the current laird and who seems intent on making her solve a centuries-old mystery. As the current mystery entwines with the mystery from the past, historical interludes add depth to Graham's enticingly suspenseful contemporary tale as Toni and Bruce become irresistibly attracted to each other.

In 1998, Hazel Courteney survived an incredible near-death experience which triggered huge amounts of paranormal activity. In her bestselling book Divine Intervention, Hazel shared the mind-blowing story of her spiritual emergency and awakening. In this spellbinding sequel, Hazel becomes a true spiritual tourist in order to discover why and how she gained and lost her spiritual powers. Whether you are interested in life after death, gurus, spiritual emergency, healing, miracles or psychic communication, this groundbreaking book gives extraordinary evidence for the sixth sense in a language that anyone can understand and, until now, has never been shared before. To investigate the facts behind reported miracles, she travels to India to meet controversial guru Sai Baba, an enlightened being who since childhood has materialised ash and multiple objects such as rings and watches. In Arizona, Hazel takes part in Professor Gary Schwartz's landmark Afterlife Experiments during which she receives personal verification that consciousness really does survive death. Psychiatry Professor Stanislav Grof explains the difference between spiritual emergency and psychosis, and Hazel shares some heart-rending stories of others who have been through spiritual emergency. Back in Britain, biophysicist Harry Oldfield shows Hazel proof of abstract energy fields including meridian acupuncture points and the energy patterns of ghosts. Parapsychologist Dr Serena Roney-Dougal gives her insights into past lives and mediumship, whilst eminent author and world-famous biologist Dr Rupert Sheldrake and others explain the science behind miracles.
