Marvelous afterlife. Paranormal experiences of a medium photographer. (Afterlife - Paranormal stories) by Philippe de Sequr

Phillipe de Ségur has always seen ghosts, but he had to nearly die before he found his true vocation as an effective and successful medium. 
Now called the ‘Medium-Photographer’ by television presenters, he saw his first dead person while still a boy. 
Had it not been for his own near-death experience in his early 40s, this ghost hunter might have continued in the safe but confining life of a French civil servant. Instead, he lost his fear of death and found his 'real' purpose, the missing element of his life. 
In Marvelous Afterlife, he explains that he needed that brush with death to help him understand the reason for his existence and place his ‘sixth sense’ at the service of humanity. 
When photos he took at a séance included orbs of glowing light, de Ségur discovered his ability to photograph spirit entities. 
Calling himself a rational man who believes only in what he can see, de Ségur says technical advancements in sound and photography could help expand the little understanding the average person has about the paranormal. 
In ‘Marvellous Afterlife’, he shares with you his experiences and ‘paranormal adventures’ in haunted château and houses.

Above The Law 360 by Jibril Mohammed

This book is an inspirational about the understanding of the world religious Scriptures. The terms that commonly understood by all the religious sects especially the Bible, the Quran, Hindu and Buddhist Scriptures. World leaders always talk about peace and unity but it can be acquired only by understanding the will and the testament of God to His creatures. By reading this we will witness the hidden truth ourselves, then the choice is ours to make.
This Book is dedicated to the citizens of the world’s six continents.
The world is filled with confusion, turmoil, uprisings, revolutions and war without end. It is high time we found out what was wrong, and got a solution to all these problems. Looking closely, it is evident that at the centre of our mishaps is our confusion about our own faith in the Lord, which is the first and precious thing in the life of mankind. Coming together under one umbrella of belief will help us seek the truth about God, what are the real commandments, the truth about Jesus Christ and what he said, especially tangible proofs from the Scriptures, and which religion is the true religion of God for mankind and how we split into sects? What is the real story of St. Paul, Constantine the Prince of Byzantine, who is the founder of Christianity, what is Islam? Who is Muhammad? And what proves him to be a Prophet from God? I think every individual needs to know these things to make their own choices.

Shumbachena: White Lion by Nicholas Stanton

October, in Southern Africa. 
What a month to be out in the bush. This time of the year was known as, the suicide month due to the extremely high temperatures and the corresponding rate of people taking their lives. 
The sweltering heat makes your sweat attract bugs of all sorts, some stinging your skin. The heat haze lifting from the dry, cracking, baked earth reminds you that you are in an extremely harsh environment, one that is not to be underestimated. Through the haze, everything around you shimmers in the day light; the trees swayed, and not from the breeze , the rocks shifted , and all the shadows appeared as though they are watching you. 
The light, burning winds move through the tall golden, dry, tick infested grasses of the vlei. Breathing in this hot air is like breathing in liquid fire. Your sweat runs between your shirt and back and trickles uncomfortably into your trousers. Everything you wear clings to your body and feels damp and humid. 
In the distance, I can hear the constant cooing of the bush dove. The local people say that the dove is calling out to them saying. “You have harvested all the corn and I am suffering from hunger, where is the corn.” 
I am Adrian Riley and I am riding through the bush on my horse, tracking poachers. This might sound exciting; and it is to a certain extent, but it is also very deadly. The chances of being wounded or even killed are very high. However, I have been doing this for quite a few years now and I really enjoy working in the bush. The incessant insect noise is comforting as it reminds you all is well. Butterflies flit about with not a care in their little world and the bush flies land and take off constantly, their buzz adding continuously in your ears. The dry earth kicks up a fine red mist as the hooves of the horses disturb it and the swishing of their tails tells you that the flies are just as annoying to them as they are to me. 
I am employed by the ‘Save the Rhino’ campaign and I take my job very seriously. I have been forced to harshly deal with poachers before and will do so again if they try to kill my fellow rangers or me. 
If you were to meet up with me now you would see me as an unshaven and unwashed mad English man out in the African sun. While we are out tracking, we do not have the luxury of being able to wash. The reasons, well not enough water and without the scent of the wild the poachers would smell us a mile away. It wasn’t pleasant but it saved lives. 
There are five of us on this trek; myself, Tawanda, Farai, Sixpence and Joseph.
