We all, as children, saw imaginary friends and heard monsters in the closet. But for Suzan Saxman, those friends and monsters didn’t go away—and they weren’t imaginary.

They were the dead who came to her from the time she was a little girl with urgent messages for the living. Raised in a house filled with secrets, she saw and spoke the truth as soon as she could talk, alarming the nuns in her convent school with her revelations and terrifying her own mother with her strange visions.

Each night she woke to see a man with no eyes watching her, and each day she kept watch by the window while her father was at work and Steve, her real father, a swarthy drifter, rendezvoused with her mother.


It was the 1960s in suburban Staten Island and she tried to hide it all, and be a daughter her mother could love.

Always skeptical of her tremendous gift, she struggled to come to terms with her calling even as she revealed the destinies of everyone, from housewives to hit men, stockbrokers to rock-and-rollers.

She could witness everyone’s future—everyone’s but her own. Why was she visited by angels and demons? Could she ever escape this strange fate? Where was her own soul mate?

Now Suzan tells the story of her journey and tries to make sense of her family’s buried secrets.

Through powerful readings of others’ destinies interwoven with compelling narrative, a reluctant psychic emerges from the shadows.

Police Investigate Football Field Triangular UFO With Bright Lights Over Hobbema Alberta (Written Report/Audio Interview)

From Brian Vike’s UFO Files.

Also from Brian Vike’s - “The Vike Report Radio Show.”

Date: January 7, 2008
Time: 1:15 a.m.

Location of Sighting: My residence in Hobbema.
Number of witnesses: 2
Number of objects: 1
Shape of objects: Could not tell it was dark.

Full Description of event/sighting: My brother and I were watching television when something caught my brothers eye. He immediately jumped up to see what it was and called me.

We both looked outside and saw some bright lights. We then began to go outside onto the patio to get a better look.

We then saw three bright lights, with the brightest light revolving around the whole thing. Kind of a back and forth motion.

We watched it until it went out of sight behind some trees. It looked as if it was going to land or something. We then got dressed and went outside to try and get a better look at where it was going to land.

Or to see if it was going to land. By the time we got outside it was gone. Which was strange because if it were a plane, we would have been able to see it.

It was about a couple hundred feet above the tree-line. We heard no sound at all. And what caught our attention was how bright the light was that was revolving around it.

We are just wondering if anyone else seen it?

We are now sold, if in fact that it was a UFO.

Hope this helps a little. Thanks.

The interview is 23.4 mbs and it is 17 minutes in length.

Ice Circle Filmed On The Old Man River Lethbridge Alberta (Pictures)

From Brian Vike’s UFO Files.

Date: Approximately: February/March 2003
Time: Daytime when filmed.

To the best of my knowledge, these photos were taken February/March of 2003 and the location was at the Old Man River, Lethbridge, Alberta.

I could probably provide the g.p.s. coordinates if you desire.

I know someone who, on a different occasion has seen small chrome orbs above the river, upriver of this circle, but not related to this circle.

I have personally seen what would be best described as a "Nordic" very tall, albino, long hair, no recognizable facial features, void of mouth eyes nose, just a blank face and acted very strange, again, not related to this circle.

Thank you to the person for sending along the information and photos.

Numerous People Observe Colorful UFO In The Sky Over Grimsby Ontario Four (Pictures)

From Brian Vike’s UFO Files.

Date: January 24, 2009
Time: Between 9:20 p.m. to 9:40 p.m.

Dear Brian, in the email body below is a little account of the anomaly myself and 3 other witnesses seen.

It happened roughly between 9:20 p.m. to 9:40 p.m.

I don't have the exact time because wrist watches don't work on me, so I gave up on them and nobody else had the exact time, but when we walked back to the car it was 10:05 p.m. and it was about a 10 minute walk we also stayed there for about 5 minutes after seeing it.

The date was Saturday January 24th 2009. Location was in Grimsby, Ontario right by the shores of Lake Ontario.

It's in the northwestern corner of the lake and between Hamilton and St.Catherine's, Ontario.

The two other witnesses wish to remain unknown, but can be contacted through telephone. The third witness was my young son.

In the pictures it is the same object, but in two different colours. All I did was blown them up 3 separate times for each of the 2 pictures. I took a few more pictures, but nothing came up, just the pictures I'm sending you.

Through the binoculars it had the 4 colours in pattern of green, white, yellow and red, but when we took the pictures it came out as solid white and solid red?

The object moved a lot slower than a plane. To put it in perspective when the plane flew in when we first started to notice the object the plane was seen and gone in about 2 minutes if that.

The movement of the object seemed to be coming in a capital “L” direction reversed from the St.Catherine's area toward Grimsby, then out toward the United States part of the Lake.

If you need to call or get in touch with the other witnesses, they said they will talk via telephone.

After all this we joked with each other and went to believe it or not the Flying Saucer Restaurant for a bite to eat and warm up with coffee in Niagara Falls at 6768 Lundy's Lane.

It was a cold typical Canadian night. So that's all of it.

Thank you to the witness for their sighting report.

Two Cigar Shaped UFO Spotted In The Sky From Glebe Ottawa Ontario (Diagram)

From Brian Vike's UFO Files.

Date: 2006
Time: 6:45 p.m.

Location of Sighting: Glebe, Ottawa
Number of witnesses: 2
Number of objects: 2
Shape of objects: Orange cigar.

Full Description of event/sighting: It happened in the Glebe in Ottawa. I went outside on the back deck, looked up and saw 2 cigar shaped objects.

One was flying over the house the other was 20 miles away. Within seconds one slid up beside the other. I was in shock a bit.

I asked my roommate if she saw that, she said yes and that one had gone over the house seconds before I came out. I had the feeling inside like there was life inside the craft.

It made no sound traveled at a smooth speed. I ran to the front of the house and they were gone.

It almost felt like they were supposed to be there, almost like I was looking through a time warp for a second, looking at something that was there but I wasn't supposed to see it.

Hard to explain, it was witnessed by 2 people. It made no noise like my eye and my brain weren't working. It was like watching a bus float across the sky. I have no doubt they are real, what ever they are.

Thank you to the witness for a interesting sighting report.

Bow Hunter Films Awesome Sight In The Sky From Forest Ontario (Pictures)

From Brian Vike's UFO Files.

Date: December 16, 2006
Time: Between 6:00 and 6:30 a.m.

I was headed out to the back yard to go hunting. I saw something that made me put down my bow and run back to the house to get my camera, I didn't know what it was, but I knew I needed a picture of it.

I didn't do anything, until tonight when I queried the 16th of December 2006 and found the article from Guelph.

I personally don't believe in UFO's, but this was something flying and moving fast. I ended up with a few pictures. Did anyone figure out what this was.

The Guelph, Ontario sighting this witness is referring to can be found here at: http://www.ufoinfo.com/sightings/canada/061216.shtml

Thank you to John Hayes at UFOINFO for this report. http://ufoinfo.com/

Below: Additional information gathered by UFO Investigator Brian Vike.

Q. - I guess the first thing I would like to ask is that you mentioned a few photos ? If you have any others would you be so kind as to send them along to me so I can have a peek at them ?

A. - Yes, sent them along.

Q. - Also can you tell me what the time was when you took the pictures ?

A. - I had gone out to Bow Hunt between 6:00 a.m. and 6:30 a.m. I'm not sure of the time, but I know it was just getting light.

Q. - Also can you please tell me where you are located at ? Just general please. What province, county and country ? Just want to make sure where this was viewed from.

A. - No problem. I'm just south of the town of Forest, Ontario in southwest Ontario. Try 430438N/815750W.

Q. - How long were you able to observe this object for ? This is the object with the fanned out short tail ?

A. - I first saw this object or about 10 seconds before I knew I wanted a picture of it. Ran back inside the house which is about 120 meters away and back to 100 meters to the back yard. I then took the pictures. So maybe 1 to 1.5 minutes.

Q. - Also there is something else, or light source of some kind in the photo which shows up behind and below the object. It appears to look like a boomerang shape I guess one might call it. Have you any idea on what this was, or what may have caused it ? Or maybe it just the light from the sun at the sunset or sunrise hitting clouds, etc..

A. - This was the trail, fuel or water vapor (?) that it left when I first saw it. Came from the jet/object in the air.

Q. - At anytime did the object make any unusual maneuvers at all ?

A. - Yes, the checkmark in the bottom of the pictures is what got me running for a camera. Once I was back, I only saw it make a long draw to the lower left and then, well it fizzled out. Can't really describe it !

Q. - Was there any aircraft in the area while you observed the object ?

A. - No, I didn't see any planes. There were some lines in the sky from recent jet traffic. Looked like a straight lines in the sky, and going from east to west, or west to east.

Q. - I guess if you can add anything as you were the fellow to see it, this would be great. As much detail about the sighting would be appreciated.

A. - When I first saw this object, I thought it was just a airliner jet as usual going from Toronto to somewhere west, until it did the hard let ( from my perspective ) then it did a hard right. The object was either moving very fast, or was small and closer to me then I expected.

The turns caused a vapor trail, to kind of put out or spill off the back of the object as it made it's turn. This was the same thing I saw when it "fizzled out".

The think what got to me about this jet/object was that the tail on the backend was wider then what I have seen on jets. After it moved off in what ever direction it was going, it wasn't leaving a trail behind it. The trail was wide in comparison to the object. That's about it.

Personally I think some jet jockey out of either Toronto or Selfridge US air base across lake St-Clair and was having fun and carving up the sky with a fast moving jet. Only think I can think of.

I'd like to write the guy in Guelph who saw this object the same day and time frame that I saw it. I know his observation point was different then mine, but it sounded like we both saw the same thing. He described it about the same.
