Raynes will be signing copies of his books at Sweetwater Mansion on October 29th from 6:30-7:30 p.m
Brent Raynes, editor of Alternate Perceptions online magazine (
http://www.mysterious-america.net/) , author of Visitors From Hidden Realms (2004) and On The Edge of Reality (2009), has been studying unexplained phenomena (i.e., UFOs, hauntings, Bigfoot, etc.) since 1967.
He is pictured and featured with some of his case investigations of mysterious humanoid beings in noted veteran author Brad Steiger’s just released book Real Monsters.
Raynes, along with other noted authority figures in the field of ufology and paranormal studies, will be delivering a presentation at the Association for Research and Enlightenment’s international UFO Conference in Virginia Beach, Virginia on November 12-14th. It will, in fact, be named after Raynes’ first book, Visitors From Hidden Realms.
For several months now Raynes, along with several other Tennessee investigators, have conducted investigations in which they obtained what they found to be convincing evidence that something “paranormal” was going on at various locations that they have investigated here in the state of Tennessee. Most impressive of all, they have actually recorded hundreds of what appear to be classic examples of what is commonly referred to as EVP (electronic voice phenomena), which they had recorded on standard digital recorders and from the white noise of AM radio frequencies. These voices were often extremely interactive and even read words and names we had written on index cards and sheets of paper back to us over AM radio! They even seemed to know things going on with us that no outsider should have known. While many seemed to identify themselves as so-called “spirits”, some even claimed to be “aliens” (two members of the team are what are commonly referred to as “alien abductees”).These anomalous radio contacts in the UFO field have been reported by various others since 1952, but few have ever investigated and sought to duplicate the techniques.
Raynes will include in his presentation at the Virginia conference in November the details of his latest investigations and play audio files of these mysterious “electronic voices” that he and his colleagues have recorded. Raynes, Bret and Gina Oldham, and Sandy Nichols presented their findings at the Arts Center in Fayetteville, Tenn. on Saturday evening, October 2.

White will be signing copies of her book at Sweetwater Mansion on October 29th from 6:00-7:00 p.m. ($10.00 per copy)
Phyllis White is a local artist and author and native of Lauderdale County. She loves to create; whether it be with the brush or the written word. She is a member of the Shoals Artist Guild, and majored in art and English at the University of North Alabama. You may have seen some of her artwork displayed at the Kennedy-Douglas Art Center, at Arts Alive, the Renaissance Faire, as well as First Fridays.
Phyllis has created her own cartoon series, has written many articles, short stories, co-authored two books, and in 2008, published her first novel, titled
“Led by the Spirit.” Led is a work of fiction, based on a woman’s obsession and love affair with a ghost. Led exposes the paranormal and gives White’s perspective on the supernatural realm and gives her audience a view of how opening oneself up to ‘spirits’ can be destructive.
This book is like no other book you have read and is described by most readers as a ‘page turner’ and ‘a book I couldn’t put down.’ Many are anxiously awaiting the sequel.
White’s unique style of writing holds your attention and she has created in “Led” a spine tingling book, not for the squeamish. It’s a book of good versus evil with many twists and turns and a surprise ending. This is a must read! Website:
