Our buddy over at Ranger Up, Kelly Crigger, can't sit still (this is a massive understatement). He's a publicist by day, a marketer by night, and an author somewhere in between. His latest venture is a journey into the paranormal with acclaimed TV show host, Zak Bagans, whom you may know from the Travel Channel's Ghost Adventures. Or you may not. Either way, he likes to go into the dark places most of us would not want to and frankly, he can have them (I'll jump out of a perfectly good airplane or a USAF aircraft, but the paranormal is a whole different ball of wax). Dark World is the collection of memoirs of Bagans told through Crigger's eyes that takes us through his hundreds of ghost hunts and tries to find impartial answers to some of the basic questions of life after death. It starts off innocent enough including ghost hunting tips and trivia, photos, personal philosophies and encounters with the paranormal (on and off camera), and then ends with an uber-creepy encounter with a demon and possession at one of the most haunted places on the planet. Like I said...he can have it. With a chapter dedicated to the science of the afterlife, it's a good read if you've ever questioned what happens to us when the physical body dies. It's impartial so if you buy into the paranormal or don't, it's worth your time. The fact that it's written by one of us (Crigger is a retired Army Officer) and is destined to hit the New York Times bestseller list when it's released on September 13th are good enough reasons to check it out (at the amazon link below, you can check out the preview and see/read for yourself). http://www.amazon.com/Dark-World-Shadows-Investigator-Adventures/dp/1936608855/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1302645928&sr=1-5
