Rosemary Ellen Guiley (July 8, 1950 - July 18, 2019) was an American writer on topics related to spirituality, the occult, and the paranormal. She was also a radio show host, a certified hypnotist, a board director of the "National Museum of Mysteries and Research" and the "Foundation for Research into Extraterrestrial Encounters", and a "Lifetime Achievement Award" winner from the Upper Peninsula Paranormal Research Society, Michigan. She has written more than 49 books, including ten encyclopedias.

Guiley died suddenly on Thursday, July 18, 2019.

Works

Her works include ''Atlas of the Mysterious in North America'' (1995) – a listing of places in Canada and the US associated with mysterious occurrences; ''The Encyclopedia of Witches and Witchcraft''; ''Harper's Encyclopedia of Mystical & Paranormal Experience'' – a reference book on topics related to spirituality, mythology and New Age; and ''The Encyclopedia of Angels''.

In 2011, Guiley published ''Talking to the Dead'' via Tor Books, co-authored with George Noory. She was working with Darren Evans on the book ''The Zozo Phenomenon'' which was published by Visionary Living, Inc.

Activities

Guiley was a consulting editor of ''Fate'' magazine and a regular guest on ''Coast to Coast AM''. She has made television appearances on various networks, including A&E, The History Channel and The Discovery Channel. Her work has been translated into 14 languages. She took part in conventions and events like the International U.F.O Congress and Conference, Vail Symposium, and Michigan Paranormal Convention.

Response

Christian evangelist John Ankerberg criticized Guiley's understanding of intuition (as she described it in ''Harper's Encyclopedia of Mystical and Paranormal Experience'' – "intuition invariably proves to be right"), saying that with beliefs like those, rational thinking and spiritual discernment are often discarded. He also interprets from her book ''Angels of Mercy'' that she and other New Age writers of angel literature are unwittingly relating to fallen angels/demons. In ''Angels of Mercy'' Ankerberg criticizes Guiley's assertion that "angels" should be trusted unconditionally without the fear-based belief that they might be demons, saying that it is irrational and that he believes demons are indeed impersonating angels.
