Strange Fate: An Extraordinary True Story of Paranormal Discovery Paperback – April 18, 2023

I really enjoyed this book and couldn’t wait to finish it! If these events did indeed happen then it is an incredible story. I really appreciated the way the authors take you through their thought process during the investigation and give a lot of historical background on different places and people. The descriptions were very detailed and made you feel like you were there with the authors at the time it happened. I had first heard about this story on coast to coast during an interview and was intrigued to learn more, I have to say the book did not disappoint. Looking forward to the next one!

If you think you know what reality is, think again! According to science 95% of what ‘is’, is dark matter and bright energy, while 5% comprises the material world we are aware of. What one considers solid is 99.99% ‘empty space’ or rather an indeterminate electron cloud upon a Plank level vibrational field. Humanity does not have a grasp on reality and it is clear reality is not philosophical materialism. Therefore suspend such notions and experience an excellent adventure.As a real life quest to understand an occult groups purpose, achievements, and wisdom Graham Phillips and Jodi Russell embark upon many adventures and have paranormal occurrences which seem to imply that reality sometimes shifts. While bulk updates to data on the internet are entirely probable, our sense of reality is determinate, unlike the quantum realm, but what they encounter in this adventure questions that notion. They also encounter human looking people who provide key information for their quest and then seem to disappear as soon as they are out of eye sight.Well, is this all ‘real’, I don’t know, but it was a very fun book to read. It is especially enjoyable because Graham Phillips has a vast grasp on history and is continually sharing that knowledge amid the story. Being a very grounded person, it opens me up to the ‘what if’ scenarios about time and the past. It also brings up wondering about groups such as this who were seriously seeking psychic occult power (for humanity’s good) and their influences on history, as well as others who were doing similar activities for selfish reasons. I suspect these types of occult power seeking groups are prevalent today, especially among the ultra-rich. A rich book if you can think outside of the box.

Wow! Graham Philips has outdone himself with this one. Loved it!! A really fun read, for a non-fiction book. Written with warmth and humour, yet perfectly serious and authentic, Graham and Jodi’s journey is a must-read, filled with history lessons, and some interesting facts about the history of early feminism too!I have followed Graham’s work for many years, and have no reason to doubt the authenticity of this story and the amazing events they share.This is an important book, from many perspectives. It’s also a page turner, couldn’t put it down. Get a copy!

This book is a journey of discovery into the workings and power of the 4 elements of earth, air, fire, and water. Good information on the 4 above mentioned elements personified as deities. The book show their poower to change time and space.A great real live adventure story with much to ponder.

Terrific book! I just finished it and wanted to write a reivew while it was fresh in my mind..The book felt like THE DAVINCI CODE- but so much more credible…more believable. Well written, too.It ‘s amazing that the authors actually lived through these events! I am fascinated by what is explored in STRANGE FATE. It’s right up my alley. I love that the door is open for more books. Definitely worth your time.

The authors tell their amazing story of an adventure they experienced in the United Kingdom.

I liked this book.

Haven’t read it yet but I know that it’s going to be great. I follow the author on Facebook, watched YouTube.

If you are looking for a book to send you to sleep at night, this is not for you.Strange Fate should probably come with a mental health warning.Reading this book may cause dramatic synchronicities and vivid dreams. It may entice you beyond normal boundaries of perception into a more dramatic and meaning-fuelled existence; sending you tumbling into an Alice-in-Wonderland world where reality is not as you think.It is an exciting romp through Victorian secret societies, the pre- Raphaelite movement, early feminism, country estates with mysterious gardens, ghosts, haunted mirrors, hidden clues within paintings, ancient sites, paranormal phenomena and much more.The book recounts true events which happened to the two authors. It is written in the style of a novel, making an exciting read yet not detracting from the sense that something mysterious and very real is involved. The authors’ journey takes the form of a quest for hidden artefacts and occult knowledge across the Staffordshire countryside.The sensitive reader, familiar with gaslighting, “false memories”, the Mandela effect and reality shifts may well find themselves having “Oh my God, that’s what happened to me!” moments when confronted by events in the book.As it is written in the style of a novel, the book could benefit from a good fiction editor. The opening chapters are top heavy with dialogue used to transmit information and later parts have long descriptions of paintings and the suffragist movement. Editorial cut and pasting would provide a more seamless narrative. Likewise, to enable the reader to get a better sense of the personalities of the two main protagonists, it could use a few more little human touches, such as when Jody gets annoyed at Graham after leaving her soaked on the moors in a storm and his habit of withholding information until a dramatic revelation.However, this does not detract from enjoyment of the book and the reader will sense that the gaps in the text conceal greater mysteries; what is unsaid is as important as what is said.There is a pervading feeling that the authors are ploughing a furrow through an enormous mystery they do not understand, leaving the reader free to enter the mystery themselves. As in Roland Barthe’s ideas of “The Death of the Author”, the reader can bring their own experience and participate in the grander mysteries of Meonia. There is no sense that the quest belongs only to an elite clique of people but to anyone who wants to explore the mystical landscape.The authors also have an engaging social media presence. As opposed to simply plugging a book online for sales, they actively engage with their readership and invite suggestions as to the nature of the strange phenomena shaping, not just the events in the book, but the increasingly fluid reality in which we find ourselves.An essential read for anyone with a passion to understand hidden mysteries.

I had read the previous books back in 1984 and I was interested to see if this current offering would measure up to the those books. It started off a bit slow and I was struggling to get into it, then there were a few sychronisities and strange happenings and we were away, with the problem solving being aided by strange people and artifacts popping up at just the right time.So, yes a great read, again. however I did wonder why Graham didn't mention that he had been to the Dove Caves and Illam rocks in the search for " The Eye Of Fire" when they also had an earth shaking experience whilst searching for the Red Stone.

I really enjoyed this book. A great fan of this type of paranormal questing and have read Graham Phillips books right from the beginning. Couldn't put it down but wished it were longer....

This is an exciting read and made even more special if you have an open mind to the unseen forces that guide our world. The historical figures in the book were pioneers in expanding our vision of reality. Graham Phillips and Jodi Russell have been passed the baton to carry that on.

This is a book on psychic questing. Lots on the origins of the Alice in Wonderland story, also Alice's links with Victorian occultism. The book also makes it clear the world is a lot wobblier than we could ever have imagined.
