Strange Things: In Silence (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781968260972)

A true story of faith, survival, and the unseen battle between light and darkness.

From surviving a childhood gunshot wound and a near-death encounter with Jesus, to living in a home filled with spirits and spiritual warfare, Carnation is a raw, deeply personal Christian memoir that explores what it means to walk between two worlds.

Cathy Mazie Carnation shares her extraordinary life experiences with honesty and courage-seeing spirits from childhood, being protected by divine intervention, enduring terrifying supernatural attacks, and learning how faith became her armor. This is not a work of fiction. It is a testimony of survival, spiritual awareness, and God's presence in moments of unimaginable fear.

Through vivid storytelling, the author reveals:

• A near-death experience that changed everything
• Encounters with angels, spirits, and spiritual darkness
• Life inside a haunted home and unseen spiritual battles
• The power of prayer, faith, and divine protection

How God turns trauma intSome doors open once-and never fully close.

This is not a work of fiction born from imagination alone.

It is a true account of a woman who has lived her entire life walking the thin line between the living and the dead.

From childhood, she sensed what others could not-presences in rooms, footsteps with no source, voices carried on cold air. As the years pass, those encounters intensify, following her into homes, hospitals, and quiet moments meant for rest. Spirits seek her out. Darkness tests her. And faith becomes both shield and survival.

What begins as awareness turns into responsibility. Some spirits are lost. Some are desperate. Others are dangerous. And not all of them want help.

Set against the backdrop of ordinary American life, this haunting memoir chronicles decades of supernatural encounters, spiritual warfare, and the psychological toll of carrying a gift no one prepares you for. It is a story of resilience, discernment, and learning how to stand your ground when fear itself becomes an enemy.

Raw. Unsettling. Unforgettable.
