Destiny. Karma. God’s plan for your life.
Whatever you want to call it, there is a force at work—or
at large—in this world that can move us around like pieces
on a boardgame. Most of us go through life thinking that we
are in control of things, hardly aware of subtle touches from
fate’s hand. In the disguise of coincidence, it rarely reveals
itself. But in the lives of some people, these manipulations are
more direct, more blatant, and often more terrifying than our
worst nightmares.
As a researcher into a phenomenon of highest strangeness,
the abduction of humans by non-human beings, I have
talked with many sane people whose experiences include
bizarre encounters with ‘alien’ entities performing physical
procedures on them and delivering messages of predictions,
warnings, and esoteric information. In most of these cases,
alien encounters seem to be rare intrusions into an otherwise
normal life.
But in the case of Ted Rice, a gifted psychic, the pattern of
planned manipulation in his life has been consistent. When I
began investigating his experiences, I had no reason to think
this case would be any different from hundreds of others.
Delving into his background, however, I soon discovered that
almost everything in his life had been shaped by an external
force. Where he lived, the people he met, the work he performed,
even the details of his dreams—all was directed
toward molding Ted into a very unique individual, possessed
of paranormal abilities, whose course through life has been
propelled by the most extraordinary events.
In the course of this investigation, Barbara Bartholic and I
interviewed almost thirty people who had first-hand knowledge
of Ted’s various experiences and who had in many instances been personally involved in the events in this book.
