Here are some fun facts about the Yellowstone Caldera: -It's a real thing. It really does exist-It's a super volcano simmering just beneath the surface of Yellowstone National Park-It has erupted in the past, and will erupt again-Scientists believe that when it erupts again it will destroy 20 percent of the United States-You do NOT want to be in that 20 percent Tony and Hannah are just a couple of high school kids who happen across a woman who will change their lives forever. She's a carnival fortune teller who warns them of a great calamity soon to befall the United States of America. The old woman tells them it will be up to them to tell the world of the impending danger. And to save the lives of millions. It would be easy to dismiss her warnings as fantasy, except for the fact that she vanishes before their very eyes. And so begins a long journey for Tony and Hannah. A journey which involves a great mystery, intrigue and danger. Not to mention threats by a government which should be trying to help them, but instead is trying desperately to keep its secrets hidden.

Demonic County Durham: Axe Murder in Ferry-Hill Near Durham, 1682: An In-Depth Investigation
"25th January 1682(3). A sad cruel murther comitted by a boy about eighteen or nineteen years of age, nere Ferryhill, nere Durham, being Thursday, at night...." Over 300 years ago, Ferryhill, an obscure town in the south of County Durham, played host to one of the most horrid and tragic murders in the county's history. A farm servant murdered the three children of his master in cold blood with an axe. It was described in a London print as the "most horrid and barbarous murder that ever was heard of in the North or elsewhere". There was no motive for the crime, and nothing in the murderer's character to suggest that such an event could take place, and yet in his later confession, the perpetrator said that he acted only on the "suggestion of the enemy" - The Devil. For the first time since the murders, all of the evidence leading up to, at the time of, and after the event is collected together as one of the most intriguing investigations into this sad and macabre event, and lays bare some interesting information that have never been known to the public before. Did the Devil come to Ferryhill? Read on, if you dare...

Beginning in the 1930s and moving into the post millennium, this book provides a historical analysis of the policies and practices established by the BBC as it attempted to assist white Britons in adjusting to the presence of African-Caribbeans. Among the themes the book explores are current representations of race, the future of British television and its impact on multi-ethnic audiences. The chapters include an extensive analysis of television programming, along with personal interviews that reveal the efforts of black Britons working for the BBC, whether as writers, producers or actors.
Demonic County Durham: The Vengeful Spirit of Lumley and Willington near Durham, 1630.: A True, Lamentable, Christmas Tale
"I am the spirit of such a woman who lived with Walker..."21 December 1630. Midnight. An old miller prepares to finish his work in a corn mill in the hamlet of Lumley, in the County of Durham. Suddenly he hears movement on the floor below him, and as he takes a flaming candle and descends the stairs, he is shocked to discover "... a woman standing upon the midst of the floor with her hair about her head hanging down and all bloody, with five large wounds on her head..." This was the scene for Northern England's most singular and legendary Christmas ghost story. Then another tale, set in the 19th Century, was told in the press of a mysterious haunting that was occurring in the old mill house at Willington Quay, Newcastle-upon-Tyne. The two narratives, seemingly dissimilar to each other, had captured the imagination of many historians and ghost hunters for years, and still do to this very day. Now it is time that the two are threaded together, in one of the most true and horrifying experience of a ghostly encounter, related through the miller and the apparition of the murdered woman, like never before...
