Welcome to Litsy!

Strange things have been going on at the Gorman Ranch in Utah for decades…extra-deadbolts-on-the-doors sorts of things. A group of scientists bought the ranch in the mid-90s (the previous owners, a family of cattle ranchers, were driven to despair and near-bankruptcy by the mysterious, sadistic, and eventually destructive phenomena) and this book documents their findings over many years. Impossible to explain…and impossible to explain away.

Touted as a classic but in reality an absolute stinker. Nothing abnormal about the ranch, as far as I could see, that couldn‘t be explained by too-vivid imaginations and the desire to turn a fast buck. Irritatingly written, too: probably because Kelleher knew he was trying to make something out of absolutely nothing. How I didn‘t bail I‘ll never know. A non-story from start to finish.

This true story recounts the experiences of a ranching family in northeast Utah. The Gorman family had mind-boggling encounters on their land which nearly drove them all crazy. Finally they had to move off their ranch and a group of scientists proceeded to study the area, hoping to document events happening there. It‘s worth reading this book just for the theories put forth to explain what occurred there.

I've been fascinated by this story since it first broke about twenty or so years ago. The book's account of events is somewhat disjointed, but I enjoyed the paranormal aspect of it. It makes you wonder...are we really alone? OoooOoooooo

Finished this recently. It made a few excellent points about paranormal experience and acceptance. Also was fascinated by the boiling water theory of the universe, which I need to read more about.

I do wish they had never brought up Uri Geller as anecdotal evidence because I‘m pretty sure he was debunked as a psychic by James Randy.

I had to stop listening to this at night cause I kept having nightmares lol.
