real nightmare occurs when you experience a fright A ening encounter with something strange and un known, and you know without question that you are not asleep, that you are not dreaming. You know with every ounce of your being that the chilling encounter is real. I first experienced real nightmares when I was a child. Today, my sister and I attribute our insomnia to the ghostly visitors that walked through our bedrooms nearly every night and kept us awake. Our farmhouse was built on the site of the old stagecoach stop, and it seemed that some otherworldly passengers were still trying to catch the last stage out of this dimension. It didn’t help when our parents tore the old house down and built a new home on the same site. Our spirit com panions still appeared as shadows moving about the house and amused themselves by knocking on the walls, stomping about with heavy feet, and opening and clos ing doors. Growing up with real nightmares on a regu lar basis prepared me for the nights in my adulthood when I would investigate haunted houses with a team of paranormal researchers and encountered a wide vari ety of otherworldly beings.

From the Author, Brad Steiger

For the past five decades, I have been devoted to ex ploring and examining unusual, unexplainable, and oth erwise strange occurrences. In addition to infield research, I have collected chilling tales of the strange and unknown for many years. My first published works ap peared in national publications when I was a twenty yearold college senior. I wrote a number of stories and articles on the weird, the paranormal, and the mysteri ous for a wide variety of mystery and men’s magazines. While I was a high school and college English teacher, I wrote numerous short stories for such magazines asFan tastic, Alfred Hitchcock’s Mystery Magazine, The Saint, Ex ploring the Unknown,andFate.My first book was Monsters, Maidens, and Mayhem: A Pictorial History of the Hollywood Monster Movie,followed by the sequel,Mas ter Movie Monsters,later that same year. Next was a col lection of my articles on the paranormal published as Ghosts, Ghouls, and Other Peculiar People.I finally left teaching and became a fulltime paranormal researcher and writer. I have been fortunate that my books and articles have struck a responsive chord with both fans and critics. My editing ofProject Bluebookwas hailed byOmnimagazine as one of the best UFO books of the century. I was in ducted into the Hypnosis Hall of Fame for my work with UFO contactees, abductees, and past life regression, and I received the Lifetime Achievement Award at the Na tional UFO and Unexplained Phenomena Conference. My good fortune brightened even more when I began a friendship and a working relationship with Sherry Hansen, who had worked closely with Dr. J. Allen Hynek, the official scientific advisor for the U.S. Air Force’s twentyyear study of UFOs. In the latter years of Real Nightmares: 1 vi
