Meyer's comments: We've all experienced odd occurrences from time to time. Did you ever lose your keys, only to find them where you'd looked only minutes before. What causes such phenomena? If the Car Key Gnomes are not responsible, who or what is? And why are they doing such things? We've all seen things we cannot easily explain. Sometimes while talking with friends, someone might have a ghost story to tell or a discussion of strange lights in the sky might ensue. Could all these things be related? It seems that such discussions are generally concluded and shrugged off with words such as, "Anyway, it was really weird!" Mic and I have shared dozens of such incidents. In this book, we've included many of those weird experiences. It is our hope that this will not only make for enjoyable reading, but will also stimulate you to wonder how it all works; how a mouse can turn to stone; how a pool of water can be freezing cold in the desert heat; and, how something can disappear only to reappear days later. After reading this book, you will likely say, "Anyway, that stuff is really weird!"
Brewer's comments: The stories you will read in this book are 100 percent true. I know this because I was there for some of it. I've heard these stories, from Fred, Mic, and others. The stories they told me over the years had not been embellished. Matter of fact, they weren't changed hardly at all from one man telling the story to another man telling the same story. These Men, who continued to brave the Spirits and elements and danger in The Superstition Mountains, should have your utmost respect. I knew many brave and strong men who decided not to go back after they experienced some of these things just one time! I've known Fred and Mic since childhood. Never have I known them to be dishonest, or to lie or cheat, nor even steal. They're both above average intellectually, the very definition of Intelligence. You can trust what they say. Therefore, you can be certain the things told about in this book were experienced and survived by the authors and the men they chose to take into The Superstition Mountains with them, to do battle with that unholy place. Some of the stories I have heard from these men are unlike anything we experience on a daily basis. Reading these accounts makes me long for my youth, so I could experience those phenomenal days in The Superstition Mountains just one more time.
