Disembodied Voices by Tim Marczenko
True-life spine-chilling encounters with disembodied voices throughout history and in the present day.
This solid book is not about the "electronic voice phenomenon" but something far more ancient and eerieMarczenko has been fascinated by the motif of voice calling people from woods, books, masks, statues, rocks and other unlikely objects. When the Egyptian sailor Thamus passed the island of Paxi, he heard a voice call him by name, shouting "Great Pan is dead!" Whose voice it was remains an enduring mystery, as recorded by Plutarch when the truth of Thamus's tale was investigated by the court of Tiberius. Ever since he had a similar experience of his own, the subject occupied Marczenko's research, resulting in this intelligent and engaging written study. It is full of amazing and disturbing accounts, from all eras up to the present. Some of these otherworldly voices seem enticing, some deceitful, some threatening, some prophetic, some sought by divination and others unbidden ... all disturbing in diverse ways. Some have been entire conversations. Whether they are spontaneous hallucinations, unconscious vocalisations or something more mysterious and numinous, they have never been discussed and analysed in such engrossing detail before. Bob Rickard, Fortean Times
Marczenko, Tim: - Out of the woods and out of the dark wanders Tim Marczenko, a Canadian writer, who is on the trail of monsters and strange phenomena. He travels around with a ratty notepad and a healthy skepticism, asking the questions that many dare not ask. When he's not lying awake, bug-eyed with anticipation of his next adventure, he's out enjoying a hike or a canoe trip. He resides in Ontario with his family and hopes that his work will enlighten the readers now and long after he is dead.
