This book is a compilation of Field Reports from the calendar year 2015; it began with a startling encounter at Area R, and ended with a return visit to Areas D and C in northern Michigan. 2015 may be considered a year of immense activity, with continuing field work across southern Wisconsin and also in northern Illinois, while still investigating existing research sites in Michigan. There are many highlights from 2015; here are a select few: 1. The observation of what appeared to be a large, dark figure standing motionless in a swamp at Area R, which, when photographed, really did look like an EC; 2.A horrifying series of adventures at Rutland Gate, including a strange, dissonant realisation of another dimension and a still-unexplained occasion of missing time; 3.Continuing investigations at Area D in northern Michigan, wherein similarly-shaped footprints in the dunes suggested a possible year-round habitation site; 4.An astonishing series of large, bare footprints observed over several investigations at Illinois Beach State Park in Lake County, Illinois; 5.A strange, up-close-and-personal encounter with a UFO at Chartwell, shared with Linda Godfrey; 6.A truly beautiful tipi assembly observed at Illinois Beach State Park; 7.An impressive, large 'X' configuration observed and later documented in the same location. There are many more experiences and encounters, to be certain; one need only read further.
About the Author: Sanjay R Singhal, RA is an architect and interior designer with his own practice in northern Illinois; he is licenced in three states (Illinois, Michigan, and Wisconsin, with Florida and Utah pending). The focus of Sanjay's professional work is residential interior design; his portfolio may be viewed online at http: //professionaldesignservices.net. In 2011 Sanjay received the AIA Small Projects Award for his interior design work at the Holiday Inn Mart Plaza Hotel in Chicago, Illinois. Sanjay is also an emerging writer; his latest book, a collection of supernatural/horror fiction Tales of the Night Watchman was published in June 2016. Two of his other books, The Undiscovered Country: Special Edition and What Tastes Good! A Cookbook for People Who Love to Cook, are also available online or through independent booksellers. As may be imagined, Sanjay is also working on several other books, as well as a second volume of fictional, ghostly tales. Beyond the Forest was founded in 2013 by Sanjay and his close friend and colleague Joshua Paul 'JP' Smith, as a means of presenting their field investigations, observations, and encounters in a (comparatively) objective format referencing not only their own work and experiences but also those often reported by other enthusiasts. Since then, over two hundred fifty Reports have been researched, written, and published online at https: //beyondtheforestblog.wordpress.com. Most of these comprise the Field Reports, which Sanjay hopes to continue to publish in printed, yearly volumes; the years 2007 through 2010 will be published together. The remaining accounts, including Daily Reports and Encounter Reports, may be published in printed volumes in the near future as well. Sanjay's field work has taken him across the country; he has investigated and researched areas in Illinois, Wisconsin, and Michigan, but also in California, Florida, North Carolina, Ohio, Tennessee, and West Virginia. Additionally, he has reported encounters in South Dakota, Indiana, and Utah. His groundbreaking analysis of the Chisholm assembly was based on findings in Adams County, Pennsylvania and may be viewed online at https: //beyondtheforestblog.wordpress.com/2015/08/01/the-chisholm-assembly-analysis-and-followup/. In 2015, Sanjay began hosting Beyond the Forest Radio, a weekly internet radio programme devoted to the paranormal, broadcasting live at http: //www.blogtalkradio.com/beyondtheforest.
