Then at 8:30 pm est, we hop aboard the airliner and fly across the Atlantic to Scottland to join our guest Dr. Peter McCue as we discuss his newly written and released book, "Zones of Strangeness; An Examination of Paranormal and UFO Hot Spots." Tune in for a fantastic program this coming Sunday evening with Eric, Lon and Sean as we once again take you Beyond The Edge.... About Dr. McCue: Dr Peter McCue worked for many years as a clinical psychologist in Britain’s National Health Service. He lives in Scotland. His Ph.D., from the University of Glasgow, was awarded for a thesis on hypnosis. His interest in psychical research and ufology goes back decades. He believes that paranormal events occur, and that many UFO experiences are genuinely anomalous. He contends that if we want to obtain a comprehensive understanding of ourselves and the nature of reality, these enigmatic phenomena can’t be ignored. Over the centuries, there’ve been many reports, worldwide, of unexplained phenomena. Certain areas seem to play host to a disproportionate number of them, either temporarily or on a long-term basis. Some places acquire a reputation for just one type of manifestation, whereas others seem to be the setting for a variety of them (e.g. UFO sightings, cattle mutilations, and sightings of strange animals). Can the reports be believed? Are the phenomena genuinely paranormal? Do certain areas really see an unusually high number of anomalous events? What’s behind the manifestations? Do they involve extraterrestrials, creatures from ‘other dimensions’, time travellers, the workings of the human mind, or some sort of higher intelligence? These are just some of the questions that Peter addresses in his recently published book Zones of Strangeness: An Examination of Paranormal and UFO Hot Spots. This 560-page book is a well-researched and well-referenced study of the connection, real or supposed, between anomalous phenomena and certain geographical areas. It cites a mass of case material from the UK, the USA and elsewhere, and also includes useful foundation chapters.

He contends that the entities involved (ghosts, humanoids, ‘greys’, etc.) may be temporary ‘stage props’, and that it isn’t necessary to assume that the higher intelligence comes from another planet, ‘another dimension’, a parallel universe, or from the future – it may have always been here.
