She sees dead people: British psychic Lisa Williams to read Merrimack Valley audience
Some kids fear the boogeyman. Lisa Williams feared the bloated, clown-like faces that tried to talk to her when she was 3 years old.

Alaska’s prehistoric monster
Cryptotourism has been in play for ages, especially highlighted by such sites as Loch Ness, which boasts of Nessie. Smaller examples of monsters and places, such as the Lizard Man of South Carolina or Tessie of Lake Tahoe, dot the maps of the world. But a new trend is the recognition of cryptids, history, and places in various locations, often further overlooked. Glacier Island’s monster is one case that even turned up in the old Books of Charles Fort...
