    To the world, I no longer exist. The life I live occurs outside the third dimension - a memory, a ghost, the boogeyman, or perhaps simply a figment of the imagination. When I’m passed on the street, there is no connection. No eye contact. I’m the one whose presence leaves a cold chill of uncertainty, quickly erased by minds who don’t want to acknowledge that men like me exist.

    Worlds of Arthur: Facts and Fictions of the Dark Ages , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 757min
    King Arthur is probably the most famous and certainly the most legendary medieval king. From the early ninth century through the middle ages, to the Arthurian romances of Victorian times, the tales of this legendary figure have blossomed and multiplied. And in more recent times, there has been a continuous stream of books claiming to have discovered the "facts" about, or to unlock the secret or truth behind, the "once and future king". Broadly speaking, there are two Arthurs. On the one hand is the traditional "historical" Arthur, waging a doomed struggle to save Roman civilization against the relentless Anglo-Saxon tide during the darkest years of the Dark Ages. On the other is the Arthur of myth and legend - accompanied by a host of equally legendary people, places, and stories: Lancelot, Guinevere, Galahad and Gawain, Merlin, Excalibur, the Lady in the Lake, the Sword in the Stone, Camelot, the Round Table. The big problem with all this is that "King Arthur" might well never have existed. And if he did exist, it is next to impossible to say anything at all about him. As this challenging new look at the Arthur legend makes clear, all books claiming to reveal "the truth" behind King Arthur can safely be ignored. Not only the "red herrings" in the abundant pseudo-historical accounts, even the "historical" Arthur is largely a figment of the imagination: The evidence that we have - whether written or archaeological - is simply incapable of telling us anything detailed about the Britain in which he is supposed to have lived, fought, and died. The truth, as Guy Halsall reveals in this fascinating investigation, is both radically different - and also a good deal more intriguing. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Napoleon Ryan.

    Grove House , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 273min
    After 25 years of marriage, Jim O’Leary is suddenly divorced and fired almost simultaneously. Depressed and unable to find work at the age of 62, he decides to retire and move to Grove House, a retirement home in Denham, Alabama. Soon after moving in, strange experiences complicate his dealing with the onset of Alzheimer’s. After what he believes are so many unusual deaths, he begins to wonder about what he’s seeing and feeling. Were all of these just figments of his imagination or evidence of the history of Grove House? He begins writing a novel about it. Seeing his daughter, Norah, visit after a twenty year estrangement compounds his confusion. Is she, too, a figment? Norah tells him she is on her way to NYC to sign a book deal and promises to return. At lunch with the publishing chief, she learns he could be a ‘Comeback’, someone who returned from the dead as they were in life for reasons known only to God. It was a belief that began with German founders of Grove House in the 1600s. Her father wrote about it in his book. The possibility of the dead returning far exceeds her excitement with signing a generous publishing contract. Even though a psychiatrist and priest in NYC pooh-pooh the belief, she is obsessed with the possibility. Do some return? Were they his imaginings? Were there murders? With the feeling of “The Others” and the shock of “Psycho”, “ Grove House ” is a tale of what might happen as we age and settle in a place that’s even more unsettling and a tale of strange beliefs that may not be so strange after all. ungekürzt.

    Once upon a Missing Time , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 349min
    Once upon a Missing Time is a powerful and emotional journey involving married couple Alan and Pamela Morrison and their teenage daughter Wendy. Alan is a teacher at the local high school, and his wife Pamela is a social worker for the local authority. One night, whilst driving back from their in-laws home near the rural North Yorkshire village of East Yardsley, the Morrison family encounter something that would change their lives and worldview forever. The Morrisons have a close encounter with something quite extraordinary. On arriving home, they discover nearly four hours of their lives - missing. Plagued by nightmarish shared dreams, the Morrison's look for answers for their missing time. Their search for answers threatens to tear the family apart, leaving them with lives that will never be the same again. Set in rural England in 1990, this was an era before the Internet and the digital age. The Morrison family search for answers, but it is a search that eventually ends in frustration and betrayal. This is not a story about alien visitation, but rather how a family try desperately to cope with a phenomenon that no one seems to understand. Although a work of fiction, Once upon a Missing Time is based on real-life close encounter cases from the UK. All of the characters in this drama are based on people who have either experienced this phenomena first hand or have been UFO investigators. The names, locations, and professions of all have been changed to protect the individuals concerned. Once you have heard Once upon a Missing Time, you will understand that the phrase "close encounter" was not just a figment of Steven Spielberg's imagination. ungekürzt. Language: English.
