Mysteries Lost History and Legends of Ancient America

Book Review

Ever since I was a child I have always been fascinated by subjects like ancient Egypt and Atlantis. But it always seemed like these places and events were always far away, generally on the other side of the world. America was a newer place and had seen much less history but there were no mysteries, enigmas, or great legends other than those of the Native Americans. For all we knew the land was nothing but wild animals until the native peoples arrived.

As I grew and I read more and more about the world around us I began to discover that America was much older than I had imagined. I read about strange stone formations and structures, artifacts, myths, ancient peoples, and even mummies that all seemed out of place among what was known about America. As the years went by I read as many books as I could on the subject. In recent years there have been …

The Rosa Witch Legend

In the early 1800s, William Wolcott moved his family from North Carolina to California, the area we now know as Sonoma County. They settled in the small town of Jose Ramon, which later became Santa Rosa. Wolcott purchased some land and a small hotel his family soon called home. The Wolcott’s had three children: the eldest Billy followed by Dennis and Tracie whom they called by her middle name Aileen. Over the next several years William acquired more land, increasing his holdings to 472 acres. A number of acres were used for pumpkins and grape vineyards. The townspeople took a grand liking to the Wolcott’s and appointed William as the county marshal for many years.

On a day like any other, William Wolcott was inspecting his pumpkin patch that grew behind the hotel, when he saw a figure in the middle of the patch. As he approached, the figure took shape of an elderly woman hunched over as if she …

The Legend of Evil Bobby Yoshino

Way back when, during the gold rush into California thousands of Asians arrived seeking gold, along with hundreds of thousands of Americans. I call them DOEIs, or descendants of European Ancestors.  These “good Americans”, brought with them all the ugly, nasty customs of racism, hate, greed, violence and what ever else you want add. After a few years the good Americans decided there too many nasty Asians in California, even though all of them lived usually on the outskirts of town, and away from what they consider “polite society”. They were chased away from the towns and sometimes formed their own towns, like Locke along the river on land no one else wanted. The land was always flooded in the spring and a muddy mess most of the year, which is why there was so much suffering and illness among that population.

When the wave of violence was unleashed upon the Chinese immigrants thousands of Japanese people got caught up …

Ghosts of the Wood Apple Tree

This story is one that is very famous among the old people of the place where this takes place. As the place is very famous I shall not mention any names.

The family of my maternal grandmother was a very rich and politically important one. Only princesses which remained in India were married to the sons of that family. One such princess was my maternal grandmother’s grandmother. She was not only from a royal family but also a very spiritual person. It is said that when she entered her place of worship (built specially for her), the bells use to ring by themselves. She could be seen talking to Krishna, the one she was devoted to. She would be immersed in her prayer so much so as she would even forget that she needed to eat and sleep. She was married into this family to the only son of a politician. The house was basically a fort with over a …

Paranormal Encounters In Hawaii

My name is James Among, I currently live in Los Angeles but I was born and raised on the Hawaiian Island of Oahu. Hawaii is said to be one of the top hotspots for paranormal activity, and trust me, that statement is true. VERY TRUE.

Several Paranormal events happened to me as I grew up on the islands. When I was around the age of 11 or 12 I used to be super religious, I was scared as hell when the year 2000 was coming around, everyone I knew made it seem like the world would end right when the clock struck 12:00 am on new years. Well, 2000 came and nothing happened. I slowly began to lose my faith in Christianity and then that’s when everything went really bad.

One night I was sleeping, I turned over on my stomach and then I suddenly felt a chill and froze. Either it was a Demon or one of the choking …
