Paranormal Author Tells Others' Story After Finding Peace When Writing Her Own

South Carolina – Several years ago, with the help of a family friend and the support of her family, Melissa George put her story out to the public. This was a story of heart break, ill-health, fear, anger, and finally triumph. She tells a story of a family's struggle and the facing of a demon who had taken possession of their home. The family suffered for years and watched the paranormal become the normal for them. After several house blessings, the family found peace and could sleep at night once again. Writing the book, Melissa found a closure that she did not think possible. After a few more books, one about the paranormal and a couple of Bigfoot books, Melissa knew what she had to do. She decided to help others tell their stories. She knew that if putting her story out for the public to read could help her in such a way, it would be the same for others.

Melissa has offered her keyboard as an outlet for those who have had terrifying encounters with the paranormal. Melissa has helped people tell their stories of Bigfoot, Black Eyed Kids, Dogman, and even of a paranormal investigator who was followed home by a dark entity. Melissa works with her client over a length of time that is conducive to their comfort level. She has a researcher that confirms the story with the others involved, and asks the tough questions. There are questions that will be uncomfortable for people to answer, but having lived it herself, she understands. She works with the clients' pace, and allows it to be a form of therapy for them. So far, the people who have allowed Melissa to tell their stories have been happy with the results of the book, as well as their mental state.

Health Benefit and Usage of Running Belt

Similar to your running sneakers, waist belts also come in many different sizes and shapes and are suitable for different purposes. Most runners who wear belts are trying to find a convenient solution to carry water and gel packs; and perhaps a few extras comparable to their phone, a GPS unit or energy bars. If you have yet to obtain a belt, you might like to consider the myriad types and select which belt meets your running needs and goals.

Getting cotton mouth anytime is never ideal -- however, if you're running, it might even be downright dangerous. If you're running in scorching temperatures or taking long runs to places world, you'll want to bring something along to prevent that dry mouth as well as its subsequent dehydration. Among the options: a waist belt that may hold a couple refillable water bottles. The obvious benefit is always that you'll have water as it's needed, and since the belts will often have a little more room to secure your keys, plastic cards, and a snack, you should have nearly everything you should bust out for the trail for some time adventure. You can get one from Flipbelt.com, in order to save huge, you should try to use coupon codes flipbelt. It will reduce your spending by up to 50%. That is legal and by that saved money you can purchase more things needed while you run. Health is wealth and saving money on health is also recommended. There are so many coupons blogs which regularly release coupons for that.

Fill the water bottle -- or bottles -- with just as much water since you think you will need. The American Council on Exercise recommends drinking 17 to 20 ounces inside the two to three hours before training session, another 8 ounces inside 30 minutes before, after which drinking 7 to 10 ounces for each 10 to 20 minutes of exercise, so plan accordingly and produce along the proper amount for the period of your run.

Wrap the belt around your true waist, or with the belly button line, and produce any size adjustments necessary. Wearing the belt too low, for example around your hips, can hinder your running stride and potentially slip off.

Weight the belt with small lead weights, sold at sporting or fishing goods stores, to raise your calorie expenditure, or use the lake in a hydration belt for weight. These weights can be placed in a very zip pocket or sewn into the lining. The more you weigh, the greater calories you burn during any action, including running.

Bigfoot Books For Kids

Disclaimer: I was sent these books to review. All opinions are my own.

My little Guy loves bigfoot. In fact, he wants to be a "bigfoot finder" when he grows up. Naturally, when I saw that Capstone had some bigfoot books for kids, I was intrigued and had to check them out. Here are the awesome books I had a chance read with my "Littlest Squatcher."

Bigfoot and the Yeti by Mary Colson

This book explores the mysterious creatures that have been spotted in North America and Northern Asia known as the Bigfoot and The Yeti. This book explores the question of whether they exist or not. It uses the scientific method to explore the possibility. 

Bigfoot and the Yeti is a great educational book for kids. Even if they are not interested in Bigfoot, they can learn from it. I like the idea of teaching the scientific method at an early age because children can use it in everyday life. Although Tbomb is only 5, we have been reading this book together and he has been using what he learns in both his quest to find bigfoot and answering other questions that he has. 

Bigfoot and Adaptation by Terry Collins

Bigfoot and Adaptation is a comic book style book to explain adaptation. The author uses Bigfoot to illustrate how adaptation works. I haven't seen it put quite this way and is a great way to teach the difference is adaptation and evolution. 

This book is truly adorable. I love the way that it explains and illustrates adaptation using Bigfoot as the main character and how "he" may use adaptation to improve his life. I really like that this book is put in comic book style so that it captures and maintains kids' attention. The illustrations are adorable and add an element of entertainment to an educational series. 

I Know Sasquatch by Jess Bradley

I Know Sasquatch is an adorable book that teaches the age old saying "Don't judge a book by its cover." 

Sasquatch are big, creepy creatures with razor-sharp teeth, long claws, and stinky fur (Ew!). At least, thats what most people think . . . But nobody's actually ever met one -- except Jess Bradley! In this quirky, colorful picture book, Jess describes her first encounter with a Sasquatch and the real beauty inside this Bigfoot beast. (Apparently, he's a big fan of bubble gum!) You'll never judge a beast by its stinky fur again!

This book is really adorable. I love the lessons within the pages. It explores the friendship between a little girl and her bigfoot buddy. The book teaches several important life lessons, including don't judge, don't be afraid, and make friends. What an amazing book!

Easy-to-Draw Mythical Creatures by Mattia Cerato, Brenda Sexton Illustrated by Brenda Sexton, Mattia Cerato

Easy-to-Draw Mythical Creatures gives step by step insturctions to drawing some of the greatest mysteries on the planet. Your child can learn to draw the creatures from their favorite books, movies, and legends. Some of the creatures include unicorns, goblins, and even bigfoot. This book uses simple shapes to help your child draw their own masterpieces. 

This book has not only given my son hours of entertainment, but it has been a great family activity. We have spent rainy and snowy afternoons creating creatures together. We even decided to make one together- that was an awesome afternoon, all drawing on one page together. 

GoPro Hero3 Set Up: My Gear Part 1

When I am using my GoPro Hero3 in investigations or on Bigfoot expeditions, I have a very specific set up. While I do have a mount that works for a backpack strap or baseball cap bill, I mostly use that in the day time or in homes. Since the woods are so dark and there is so much distance in front, I like to use another IR light with it. I wanted to share my set up because I have seen some people looking for assistance in setting up their own cameras with IR lights to be portable.

1. GoPro Hero3 Silver. This particular GoPro has been professionally altered for maximum use in the field. It has an added IR ring. It was built by RageCams.

2. GoPro Hero tripod adapter- this allows you to place the regular GoPro mounts on a tripod/ monopod GoPro Tripod Mounts $4.99

3. GoPro Hero3 frame- It allows me to securely attach the GoPro to the mounts without using the waterproof case. I use the waterproof case in the daytime, but I can't use the IR ring with it. Si Chi Standard Frame Mount Housing Protective Shell for Gopro Hero 3 Camera $2.99

4. Monopod. This is a very simple monopod with the ball head adapter removed. It does extend, but I do not use it extended. It is a good monopod for a gopro and lightweight, but it does not come with an adapter, like implied- but still a god price. Floureon® Telescopic Extendable Pole Extender Handheld Monopod $4.99

5. Mount- This L Bracket is slid between the camera and monopod (it can also be placed on a tripod) and is help securely in place when the tripod adapter is screwed on. It has 2 Hot Shoe mounts, but another one could be used beside where the camera is placed. Heavy Duty Photography L Bracket with 2 Standard Flash Hot Shoe Mounts $6.99

6. Hot Shoe Mounts. These attach to the mount and allow you to put anything that works on a tripod on it. Lights, extra cameras, recorders, microphones, etc. I actually use the top rubber piece to secure the light in place since the light is meant to be mounted with a screw. LimoStudio 2x Mini Black Double Screw Angle 1/4" Hot Shoe Mount Adapter Holder, AGG1451 $5.99

7. External IR Light Crazy Cart 48-LED CCTV Ir Infrared Night Vision Illuminator $10.33

8. DC to 9V adapter & Velcro- this allows me to use anything I would normally use with a wall plug to become portable. I connect it and use velcro to attach it to the mount. 2Pcs 2.1x5.5mm Male DC Power Plug to 9V Battery Button Connector Cable $1.43

9. Mini USB to 3.5 Jack (not shown) & Microphone (not shown). I do have the ability to use an external microphone with the GoPro by using this adapter and a small microphone that clips onto the mount. I could also use a boom mic or shotgun mic (as long as it uses a 3.5 jack) with the right mounting capabilities. 3.5mm Mini USB Microphone Adapter Cable External Cord for Gopro Hero3 Camera Black $6.57. Remember- when choosing a microphone, try to get one with a wind screen.

All of it goes together to create an awesome machine that is ready for any nightime shooting. Keep in mind that this is what works for me. I have aquired these items oer time and sometimes for different purposes and found what worked for me. This whole build has been a work in progress and I am always finding new additions and items that work better.

I would love to see and hear about your camera set up- what do you do the same or differently?

Book Review: Legends and Lore of South Carolina

Disclaimer: I received a book to review. However, all opinions are my own.

I have this love of history and tend to retain facts that most people wouldn't give a second thought. I also have this obsession with knowing strange facts and the nuggets of history that are not well known- especially about South Carolina. That is one reason I love reason I love reading Sherman Carmichael books.

Legends and Lore of South Carolina ($16.99 Arcadia Press) is one of those books that grabbed my attention and took me back in time. Since I have spent almost all of my life in South Carolina, I have had the opportunity to see so many traditions and this book gives a new look at many of these traditions, like the Gullah blue bottle trees.

I am from Beaufort, lived most of my life in the upstate, and attended Winthrop University. All of these places have deep and beautiful history that you can see by exploring the beauty they hold. Apart from that, there is always something a little darker going on. These places are no exception. I have been interested in these things since a young age and love that this book expands on the stories I have heard and adds more to my knowledge. This has become a staple in my library and I refer to it often.

This new collection of eighty strange and unusual South Carolina legends is rooted in the state's deep history. Some originated centuries ago, such as the Agnes of Glasgow story in Camden and that of the ghostly dwarf jester Gauche, said to haunt a Beaufort mansion. Certain places hold secrets from different eras, including White Wolf Road in Blacksburg and the state's numerous historic cemeteries like the one at Salem Black River Church in Mayesville. These pages also contain simple explanations for local lore, like the Gullah tradition behind blue bottle trees that still decorate Carolina gardens today. These and many more crowd-pleasing yarns can be found in this volume from the desk of master storyteller, author and researcher Sherman Carmichael.

Book Review: Forgotten Tales of South Carolina

Disclaimer: I received a book to review. All opinions are my own. 

I've had the pleasure of speaking with Sherman Carmichael, author of many South Carolina paranormal books, and truly enjoyed our chats. When I had the opportunity to read Forgotten Tales of South Carolina, I was beyond excited. 

This book has over 100 tales spanning the entire state of South Carolina. There are interesting tales, reminding me of the rich history our state possesses. 

From the desk of master storyteller Sherman Carmichael comes a collection of over one hundred quirky tales from South Carolina. The origins of these stories are as elusive as the swamp monster that slinks along the bottom of Lake Murray and as hidden as the moonshine bootleggers buried inside the Stumphouse Tunnel between Charleston and the Blue Ridge Mountains. Discover how the witch Mary Ingelman of Fairfield County caused a man's cow to fly into the air, read the prehistoric petroglyphs of Pinnacle Mountain and visit the mermaid entombed inside the Hall of Wonders. Collected from Greenville to Myrtle Beach and down the coast, these stories have survived blizzards, tornadoes and pterosaurs to make it to the pages of this offbeat and rare collection.

Mr Carmichael has pulled me in, like listening to family members who have long passed and hearing the tales that make each location unique. Being a paranormal investigator, I love hearing about the legends of the state and finding new locations to check out. Mr Carmichael has given me new challenges and I can't wait to get out to explore these tales myself.
