What People are Saying about DARK FORCE
I finished your book about 6 weeks ago. I thought I knew most of your story, but was surprised at how much I didn’t know. What also surprised me was how you, Patti and Bobby endured what you did for as long as you did and survived. What doesn’t surprise me is your faith in God and your appreciation for the blessing that you have received in your life. They say God works in mysterious ways and no doubt living... or should I say surviving that house has set you on this course of helping other people in similar circumstances. I’ve heard you say you think of yourself as a “warrior”, you make a damn fine one. I can only end this by saying how deeply saddened I am about the pain your Mom went through, what you and your siblings went through, and how sad a life your Dad lived. I consider myself very forunate to have met you and am proud to call you “friend”. May God bless you and your beautiful wife Linda, and the rest of your family. Keep up the fight.

DARK FORCE , The Terrifying and Tragic Story of the Bean Family, is a gripping tale of horror. When he is four years old, William Bean and his family move to an ill-omened rancher. Mysterious wall tappings and disembodied footsteps are among the outward manifestations of fathomless evil that lies in wait to pounce upon its hapless victims. As you rapidly turn page after page of this short but powerful narrative, your heart goes out to an anguished and innocent family. Even if you have never experienced the paranormal or do not believe in it, this book will lead you to examine your own levels of compassion and your relationship or lack of it, to that which is greater than ourselves.

I absolutely LOVED this book, I grew up in the Harundale area and as a teenager I have heard some stories of hauntings in that area. The book really took me back to that. My daughter is currently reading it and she cannot put it down. You definitely need to do a follow up book with current events that are happening to you because im sure it hasn’t stopped, but you are older , wiser and aren’t as “intimidated”. The next time you give a speech we definitely would love to be there!

Your book reflects something that happens a great deal, not only to us, but millions of people around the world. Can you imagine what society would say, if everyone that had some kind of paranormal experience, suddenly made their voices heard? What the religion of this world would do or say? How could they answer the questions of HOW!, WHY!, and MOST IMPORTANT, WHY ME!!!!? Your book DARK FORCE, is just an example of what people around the world go through.
In my own experiences, there were many occasions when the questions did arise in my mind. Weather through dreams or everyday occurrence, I would experience things that didnt see natural.
Something out of the corner of my eye.
The day dragging on.
Waking up on the wrong side of the bed. (When I felt fine going to bed)
Disliking a person before I took time out to know them.
Foul odors that didn’t belong.
Seeing something scooting across the floor.
Having your name called.
Feeling someone come into the room before they get there.
Someone standing behind you that’s not there.
Things missing from their assigned spots, for example: Keys!
Cold spells.
Hot spells.
“Do all of you out there think that your really in control of your lives.”
YEA, RIGHT!
I could go on and on and still wouldn't remember all the things that I’ve experienced.
Thanks to your book Dark Force. At least now their is another example of what eventually happens to a family when they don't look into what crosses their lives everyday. When their ill prepared to face something that others study for their own sanity. Beware Parents, you can’t imagine what could happen to your loved ones right before your very eyes.
Don't just blow something off as just nothing!
Great book, Bill Bean!
A Friend,
Jose
I just wanted to say thank you again for coming on our radio show. It was so very nice of you to come on and talk about the book and your experiences which I know especially from reading Dark Force that it couldn’t have been easy. Also I would like to thank you for writing the book. I am a paranormal investigator and therefore run across these types of entities, occasionally, and it is never a very pleasant experience. I will never be able to imagine what you and your family went through and I think you are an amazing person to have come out of it all with the amount of faith in God that you have. Most people would probably not have that kind of faith after everything that has happened to you in your life. I think you are a very truly amazing person. God has truly blessed you and will continue to bless you and your family. Thanks for writing the book and sending it to me so I could read it. And last but not least, thank you for streghting my faith in God even more.

My name is Emma and I live in Sweden. I have just read your book dark force and I was so touched by the tragedies that you and your family went through. I just want you to know that I truly believe in you and the things you experienced. I have never experienced anything myself but I do believe in the paranormal. I just wanted to send you a thank you e-mail for a well written book, and I would also like to say that my thoughts are with you.
God bless you!
Kindly regards,

Sully here again. Great show last week. Bill sounded like a standup guy and certainly is strong in his faith and character to have come out OK. I came across a copy of his book this morning, and couldn’t put it down. I finished it in a day. I’m not a big reader, but I was so engrossed in the story I just couldn’t put it down! Some parts had me in goosbumps, others had me welling tears, and some had me angry right along with Bill. Its a must read, hands down, go get it NOW!
Peace and Love,
Sully
I went back to reading your book, was captivated, and to be frankly honest, couldn’t stop reading.VERY good book, tragic story buuuuut oddly, and “odd” is a great word here, it hit home with me. Your book was wonderful although I’ve devastatingly saddened by the tragic events in your life - I had many as well and related with you more than you can imagine so I thank you, sincerely, for sharing it with me. Kudos for a most interesting and exciting read!!! *round-of-applause*
*hugs*

I have found your book to be one of the most, if not THE most interesting and compelling I’ve ever read.I turned each page with fascination and to know it is a true story chills me to the bone. Thank you for sharing!
Dawn
This story will keep you on the edge of your seat while you read about the spine chilling happenings of the early Bill Bean. Each page will keep you wondering what will happen next. At the end it’ll be like when you were a kid and you had to decide what is real and fake.... It was a real page-turning adventure for me!

I just finished reading the book. I started last night when you sent me the book in the E-mail, and I started to read it. I got to the 4th chapter at about 2:30 am, that's how much into it I got. I really loved the book and last night, or I should say this morning before I went to bed at almost at 3 am, I said a prayer for you and your family because just in those 4 chapters in the book touched me. Because the stuff your mother was going through it was so hard. But this morning I got up, and I started to read the rest of the book. Bill i’m not a reader no joke. I like watching it on TV or on the computer like on YouTube, which is where I first saw you and your story. But I got into the book and I really liked it. I felt the pain, the fear maybe not as much as you and your brother and sister went through. I could never blame your father for any thing he did cause I believe that entities live off the leader of the household, and your father was the leader. He does remind me of my stepgrandfather whom I was very close to. What I have watched and seen, that really touches me to my heart. I know by that book you have been through hell and back as a child. My eyes really opened at the end where you confront the demons. Bill as a kid at that age you did some thing an adult would never do and even when I was that age I could never do. You stood up to beings and cast them out. I told my Auntie to watch it on YouTube, too, but to read the book because the truth is in the book. God Bless!

DARK FORCE transcends the normal Haunted house story and brings you in the perspective of true events through the firsthand accounts from the author. The Bean family, your typical nuclear family living in 1970 America; fulfill the American Dream by buying a home in the suburban town of Glen Burnie, Maryland. Bill Bean Sr. is proud of this home, and has aspirations to make it his own. Something else had its own plans for the family. His wife Patricia starts to experience strange feelings, and daughter Patti knows something is wrong with this house. Soon, what started as noises in the attic become physical attacks on family members, Patricia, Patti, and young Billy Jr. Even the dogs are not spared. The Bean family soon becomes oppressed by the emotional and physical attacks and they begin to break. Something sinister lurks in what was the perfect home. That something wants them dead. DARK FORCE follows the story of the Bean Family tragedy, through the despair and eventual triumph over evil. However, every victory has a price. The Bean family pays heavily. William Bean crafts an outstanding story, very descriptive and so emotional that he will have you glued from Introduction to ending. Never have I read a book that is so disturbing in such a way that makes you almost afraid to turn the next page. In the End, what it really shows is that by having faith in God, you can make it through the toughest times and ready to face your worst of fears. DARK FORCE is a must for anyone with an interest in the paranormal, a religious reader, or someone who just enjoys a good book. Its vast appeal makes it a must have for any collection. You must READ THIS BOOK.

I really enjoyed the book. I've read alot in my years and this is a straight forward, take me for what you will, downright shocking, dangerous experiences as retold by one of the few survivors that was closer to the entities chaos (with the exception of his beloved mother). Thank you again for letting me look at it early. I know it's a winner, hit the marketing hard and you'll be set, which you of course already know. Anyhow, I'm rambling but it's late. Talk to you soon Bill, and take care of yourself sir.

It was my wife - a very discerning and selective reader, so "committed to the truth" that novels are not on her list of "must- reads" - who having read the book by Bill Bean which has just been released said emphatically to me " This is a must- read, I was unable to put it down." A few days later, to my own great surprise, as my own "reading-interests" are even more restrictive than my wife's , I found myself, as I began to glance through and then begin to seriously read the book, even more engaged by the amazing story that was unfolding. It tells of the extraordinarily vivid, unfortunately violent and unwelcome autobiographical experiences, of a young boy (Bill Bean) in a home in the vicinity of Baltimore in the nineteen-seventies; and, most intriguingly, of his experiences of a realm that lies beyond the living. As we know, the eternal human uncertainty is whether after the decease of our "physical selves", there lies "nothingness" or a continuity in some form, in "after-lives", of some aspects of our selves. A subject since the very beginnings of recorded human history appears to have preoccupied the human race, and lies , of course, at the heart of its great religions. And here is Bill Bean who tells us of his experiences of such "after-life" in startingly first-hand vividly descriptive terms. Of course, the essential preconditions for anyone who makes so bold as to tell us of an "after-life experience" and to be regarded with seriousness, are total honesty and total truthfulness. Yet these are preconditions that Bill Bean, who I know to be one of those few, one of those very few, individuals who cannot but speak the truth - obviously fulfils. And it is the telling of his experiences as a child and through the eyes of a child comes a direct and simple and compelling clarity. To turn to other aspects, I found the manner and flow of Bill Bean's direct and seemingly simple and unentangled, almost at times Hemingwayesque, prose refreshing - inundated as we are with so much of what passes for good writing these days. And amidst his busy schedule, I hope that Bill Bean will find the time to continue his writings perhaps of semi-autobiographical short stories of the various stages of his life and thus to make contribution to the record of the ups and downs of life of an American family in his time. As a final note, I should add that I had noticed, on the few occasions I had the pleasure of meeting Bill Bean, that he is one of those blessed with a remarkably clear, strong and mellow, and well-articulating, "speaking-voice"; and nd it seemed to me that if he could be persuaded to give radio-listeners some " readings" from his book, I for one would find it very pleasantly absorbing at the end of a day.

My husband and I would like to thank you for your interest in his book, DARK FORCE. We are sure you will find it very gripping. Those of our friends and family members who have read it, have all said the same thing. "You start reading, and you just can't put it down". My husband has dedicated many, many hours to this book. On several occasions I awoke in the middle of the night to see him still on the computer. He has worked very hard to promote his book as well. Although this is a very disturbing story, Bill's message to everyone who reads is that you can overcome anything in life if you just keep your faith in God. I am amazed everyday by this wonderful man I married. His family endured many hardships, the worst being what they endured in that terrible house. Yet he came through it a good, decent man with a very gentle nature. His personality is one of kindness, honesty and compassion. He gives all his thanks to God and believes this book would not have been possible without him. I hope that someday you will have the privilege to meet my husband. I am the one who is blessed.

I couldn't wait to get my hands on this book! And when I did, I couldn't wait to get home and start reading. I did not put the book down until the last page was turned. I couldn't. I was living it as I was reading it! My hands were tingling and I had chills as my heart was beating fast, and I think I felt a presence in the room with me as I was reading it. This story had to be told. For Mr. Bean's sake and for others out there like myself who have experienced similar incidents, this book and his true story has validated my own experiences and he was right, who do you tell? Thank you Mr. Bill Bean for sharing your story with us and giving us the strength, power and wisdom to overcome such encounters with these paranormal situations. I have been educated and now feel "armed" with knowledge and information that gives the "power" back to me. God bless you and your family!
Kat Ames
This book tells of the unbearable torture that Bill and his family endured for a decade. This book is so intense that its like you are there in the middle of it all. You can see it all in your mind as the chapters so graphically tell the details of the events that took place. Its absolutely shocking. Its hard to imagine how anyone could have ever survived this ordeal. I have known Bill Bean for about 15 yrs or so now and I am proud to say that he is my friend. He is one of the most remarkable men that I know. I can't even begin to try to understand what he went through for so many years, but I do believe that in some part it has made him the extraordinary man that he is today. I am glad that I read this book and I am looking forward to the next chapter. Thank you Bill Bean for sharing this with all of us!
Tammi Nelson
I am not one who reads. I have very little time with a teenage son and the hours I work. I was approached by Mr. Bean and asked to review the book. I read the book in 2 days. I was left speechless, stunned and heart broken for the Bean family and the tragedy they survived. This story is very easy to read and well told. It summarizes the events that took place in a small house in Maryland with one families battle with four evil entities. Their story will make you believe that pure evil does exist and it did in that small Maryland home. Only their strength in one another, their faith and their mothers determination kept the family from being completely destroyed. This is one families sad story of a decade of horror and tragedy that will leave you speechless and shocked. This is a book that you must purchase because there is a very powerful message in the book to learn from. That message is one of tragedy being over come by one man and his siblings final triumph through faith and belief in God. Pick up a copy today and do not read this book alone in the dark!

I have read this book and recommend it to anyone that loves true stories, but who may have been through supernatural experiences and don't really dare to talk about them. This is a true story. I felt like I was on the journey with them. I could feel what they were feeling. These types of accurences happen more than we know and more than people want to share, because it is hard to believe what some have not experienced. It is a wonderful book I would give this book 100 stars.
Diane Burgoyne
I really enjoyed the book. It was terrifying and yet your story was so detailed, that you couldn't put it down. I really walked away feeling bad for your mom and family and what you had to endure. I would give your book 5 stars and look forward to your next book. Thank you. God Bless you and your family.

Mr. Bean, I was excited about attending your book signing in December of 2007 because I was told you were a very interesting lecturer and had experienced many paranormal events. I was even more excited to receive a copy of your book, DARK FORCE and to speak with you about your past. I returned home that night and began reading your book. Actually I read your book out loud to my wife who was doing paper work. We were both totally fascinated with the experiences you and your family had to endure. I finished reading your book in a matter of hours and continued to discuss your book for several more hours. Your writing style is clear and concise, yet places the reader in the actual events that are happening. We experienced emotions ranging from laughter to tears, curiosity to fear. Obviously we can not wait until your next book becomes available. I would recommend reading your book to the most questioning skeptic or the most experienced paranormal investigator; both would find the story of your life hair-raising and yet very much addictive. God Bless.
BJ Moylan
I have known Bill Bean for almost two years now. When he came to our group meeting and spoke about his life story, it was a blessed encounter! I have never really spoken about my childhood and things that happened to me with anyone because of ridicule or people not believing me. But when Bill spoke, it brought all of my past back and at that moment I wasnt afraid to speak out. Bill has this presence about him that he reaches inside your soul and makes you feel comfortable with things that are just not talked about! He has got to be the most honest and caring person that I have ever met. I thought that I went through horrible times in my life. Not even! I have read Bill Bean's book! I read it in two days. Couldnt put it down! Bill did such a great job writing his life story. You can tell that he put his heart and soul into this book. Who better to write this amazing and fearful story than the "Experiencer" himself? Even though I knew of some of the things that happened to him, the book has so much more info, and I actually could imagine myself there with him and his poor family when they went through the torment that they did all of those years! I can't wait for the next book to come out. This is a must read! Scarey and unfortunately true! This had to be hard to write, but Bill did an excellent job! This book will do well with believers and nonbelievers! Bill, God Bless. You are helping alot of people!
Kat
Your book is very hard to put down.Just like many have said.I find it very emotional and put together very well.I wish i could have been there for you my friend.We both suffered many lost loved ones.I have watched people wipe tears from their eyes when viewing your video.i had tears coming from my eyes when reading your book.I am done reading your book it took me 2 days.I can't imagine being in your shoes and living the nightmare that you and your family suffered.I look forward to your next book and want you to know i will always be there for you my friend.
Dave Weigert, Founder MPRT
Bill, I wanted to thank you again for sending me the advance copy of DARK FORCE via email while I waited for the one I ordered in the mail to arrive. The book was extremely addicting and I found it hard to put it down. While other obligations in my life forced me to set the book down, I found it always in the back of my mind wanting to return to it a soon as possible. I found myself engulfed in your story and you have done such an exceptional job in writing it , that it made me feel like I was actually there with you and your family-living the ordeal with you all. I have never met you or any of your family members, but through your writings, I feel like I have. You have endured hardships and stress that is inconceivable to me. Especially since I was raised in a normal environment or should I say a non-paranormal environment. Its amazing how we take the simplest things in life for granted. Your story is truly inspirational to anyone who will read it. You found your escape through God,sports and eventually a musical instrument which I can definately relate to. I admire your courage for coming forth with your true story especially in this day and age where skeptics are fast to judge and ridicule. I believe your story 100%. Your faith in God has made you come to terms with the paranormal and in dealing with it. Im sure the battle continues for you on a daily basis and I cant begin to imagine what it must be like. Im sure that your book will also help other people in similar situations,who may be afraid to come forward with their stories, for fear of skepticism,ridicule,revenge and what ever accusations people might unjustly hold. When your new book hits the stores, I will be the first person on line waiting to purchase it.!! Thanks for everything. If you ever need my assistance with anything, please contact me, if i dont have the resource, I can locate it for you. Looking forward to meeting you in person!
