At this meeting, Benjamin Love said that "the publication contains references to legends about the monastery Jumilla Santa Ana, Flying Saucer 'made in Jumilla' or 1947: Abduction in Jumilla. As for 'Flying Saucer made in Jumilla' tells a curious story of a Jumillano he patented in 1955 could be the first circular flight in history. The writer stated that "the start of the project is closely linked to this stock, because when I was younger I visited Prosperous Muñoz and somehow that beginning in investigative journalism was the catalyst for years to do this job. "
'Murcia, legend and mystery' is an insight into the mystical history of the Region of Murcia "dusting stories that the legacy of the years has left hidden, because they are outdated or have passed from grandparents to grandchildren and the claim of book is to tell that story is there, and there is little known. "
Benjamin Love noted that in many cases managed to talk with the players and other hand has put newspaper archives, archives and the elderly "which has been a wonderful adventure from the standpoint of personal and professional, the fact of touring the region looking for these stories. "
For the author in the book are stories of all kinds, "those who introduce them have involved real challenges such as the 'sanatorium Espuña damn', a very gloomy and dark, or historical figures such as the one that gives name to an island in the Mar Menor, the island of Male, a very dark and used the island and the mansion to give parties for the strange events that occurred there. "
Another story that struck him was also the case of the 'Crime of the Pearl', which took place in Murcia in 1896 and that was to be the last public performance in Spain, "the highlight was a photograph of the execution time of garrotted 32 year old woman who was sentenced to death for murdering her husband and a maid who worked in the house. "
Asked whether there will be a new edition, Benjamin Love replied that "it is not known, but whenever I do a presentation or a similar act, someone tells me a new story, do not know if there will be more supply, but it is early to say, maybe yes see a publication of unusual cases in the Region, crime, or stories that belong more to fantasy or parapsychology. "
