Unexplained phenomena & the paranormal; UFOs & extraterrestrial beings

What happens when ordinary people meet the extraordinary? In Strange Light, author Edson Freeman gathers riveting firsthand accounts of lives upended by events that defy explanation-UFO encounters, near-death experiences, psychic awakenings, startling synchronicities, and mysterious lights dancing over the Marfa desert.

Spanning North America, Australia, the UK, India, and Japan, these personal narratives include prophetic dreams that came true, conversations with departed loved ones, and face-to-face meetings with non-human intelligences. Freeman lets each witness speak in their own voice: no sensationalism, no dismissal-just the raw, unfiltered moment when the boundaries of consensus reality give way.

Readers curious about consciousness studies, paranormal phenomena, and fringe science will find an empathetic yet pragmatic exploration of the questions mainstream culture struggles to ask. If you appreciate the investigative rigor of Leslie Kean, the human warmth of John Mack, or the sense of wonder in Chris Bledsoe, Strange Light invites you to rethink what you thought was impossible.

Advance praise for Strange Light

Edson Freeman tackles unexplained phenomena with a pragmatist's toolkit. Since the early 1990s, he has worked in information technology, rooting out the causes of cryptic error messages. Once a self-declared skeptic-fond of UFO lore as a kid, but convinced adulthood required firmer footing-he returned to the unknown after a wave of high-profile leaks and scientific surprises. The journey culminated in Strange Light, a debut that distills interviews with everyday witnesses whose lives were forever changed by the unexplained-paranormal phenomena, near-death experiences, and other anomalies. Born in Ohio and now based in North Carolina, Freeman can be found stargazing, woodworking, or chasing the next story that refuses to fit the spreadsheet.
