So, what is this book all about? The book is a collection of
short stories on the subject of mysterious happenings of a paranormal
nature. I haven't confined myself just to the spirit world either. I
have written stories about UFO's, secret government experiments,
vampires, time-slips, in fact, anywhere my imagination happened to
take me.<br />
<br />

Why on earth they would pretend to be a middle-aged englishman is beyond me. Oh yes, I know why - they are wankers!<br />
<br />
My apologies to anyone who followed me on there and got any crap they were/are posting. You can't actually contact Facebook by phone and talk to a human being, you can only log in and report that you have been hacked, but seeing they had changed the language to Russian and I don't speak Russian there isn't much I can do. I have deleted the email that I log into that account, so they can just go off and pretend to be someone else. Sad that they feel they have to destroy something that took me over 5 years to build up a following on, but I guess that is thoughtless, evil, twisted little fornicating bastards for you. I have officially cursed them.<br />

The BBC have had some classics in the past. They could do a lot worse than to repeat them again this year. My favourites being Lost Hearts by M.R. James and The Signalman by Charles Dickens. Both spine-tinglers but still quaintly old-fashioned. None of the glossy, Hollywood-style special effects, just excellent acting of equally excellent stories. If you are listening BBC planners, please, please re-run these.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15726185873997647018noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7763327244602409692.post-89132738353412954482013-11-04T15:15:00.000+00:002013-11-04T15:15:14.551+00:00Ghost Investigation - The Feathers, Bridge St, WarringtonWe received an email from one of the staff at The Feathers. A pub on Bridge St Warrington. Several staff had seen the apparition of a woman. Glasses had been thrown from tables in front of them and one member of staff had his clothing tugged at in the cellar. There was also a report that the spirit store (no pun intended) where all the whisky, brandy etc is stored, kept unlocking itself.<br />
<br />
We arrived there at 7pm and did a full EMF sweep of the building and found quite a few odd anomalies. We also did a yes/no session using the K2 meter and dowsing rods and there was a huge amount of activity. A couple of the doormen were also present. These are guys who don't scare easily. Even they later admitted about feeling a little creeped out during the investigation. Well worth a visit and Darren the landlord looked after us admirably - nice butties Darren :)Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15726185873997647018noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7763327244602409692.post-52531957291722680612013-10-24T12:49:00.000+01:002013-10-24T12:49:10.225+01:00Halloween and all that !Yes, it's almost here again.

I am not saying that they didn't THINK they saw a ghost, it's just that the bodies senses are easily fooled. Here are 5 reasons that could explain a ghost sighting:<br />
<br />
<b>1)</b> <b>Paraedolia </b><br />
<br />
The mind is hard-wired to recognize faces. It is in us from babies. We need the obvious capability to recognize family and friends and identify enemies. The way a shadow or a mark sits on a wall may appear to take on a human shape. Especially when only glimpsed for a brief moment. Paraedolia is when the brain is trying to piece together the recognition factors and automatically fills in the missing or vague pieces. This happened to me as a child. I happened to be passing my parents bedroom when I swore I saw my dad in bed. I saw his head on the pillow. I went downstairs and told my mother only to be informed that my dad left for work some hours earlier. My mother was worried my dad had come home ill and gone to bed. On looking in the bedroom he wasn't there.<br /><br />
<br />
<b>2) Charles Bonnet Syndrome</b><br />
<br />
Charles Bonnet Syndrome is a condition that causes patients with visual loss to have complex visual hallucinations, first described by Charles Bonnet in 1760. These hallucinations are the brain attempting to make sense of visual signals and "filling in" the missing pieces of the puzzle. In fact, not that far removed from Paraedolia. Sufferers of this condition are quite used to seeing all kinds of bizarre things that they realise just aren't there. One woman reported seeing a young man sitting on her sofa and smiling at her. She could see him in vivid detail and even described his clothing and facial features. <br />
<br />
<br />
<b>3) Shadows</b><br />
<br />
Light can sometimes play tricks. It can throw a shadow on a wall, and dependant on where the light is coming from and what it passes across, it can cause some human shaped anomalies that the already excited mind sees as spectral.<br />
<br />
<b><br />4) Hoaxers</b><br />
<br />
Yes, believe it or not, not all people are honest. OK, I am being flippant, but hoaxers have to be taken into consideration. Who amongst us hasn't pulled a prank at some time or other? With the advent of paranormal tourism some public buildings whose owners previously used to keep quiet about alleged hauntings are now shouting about it from the rooftops. There's money in them there spooks!!<br />
<br />
<br /><b>5) Hallucinations</b><br />
<br />
As Ebenezer Scrooge said to Marley's Ghost "There is more of gravy than of grave about you". He made the very logical connection that food and other stimuli, or indeed illness, can cause people to hallucinate. It's a well recongized fact.<br />
<br />
To quote from another fictional character, Sherlock Holmes. "When you have eliminated all which is impossible, then whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth". If you can say with 100% certainty that all above instances have been ruled out, or indeed the incident was also witnessed by one or more credible witness, then you have seen something that is unexplained. Not necessarily a ghost - just unexplained.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15726185873997647018noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7763327244602409692.post-18826600913670853432013-08-15T16:29:00.001+01:002013-08-15T16:29:45.992+01:00Capturing a ghost - The chance has passedWith the advent of the computer age, virtually anyone with a PC, a bit of software and a modicum of knowledge can now fake any picture or video. With software getting more and more sophisticated, it is now virtually impossible to spot a really good faker. Most of the old ghostie pictures were quite crude double exposures. All you needed was a reasonable SLR camera, a tripod, a cable release and a dark room to make some spectacular looking ghost pics. I made dozens of these things when I was in my twenties. They were great for fooling the unsophisticated.<br />

The point I am trying to make is this. Is there actually any concrete, 100% foolproof way of presenting any sort of evidence to prove beyond any shred of a doubt that ghosts exist? Before people start offering up orb pictures and EVP's, these too can be faked or doctored. All you need to make some great EVP's is to stand in another room from your recorder and speak in a quiet, gruff voice, whilst at the same time have a couple of friends speak at the same time in the same room as the recorder as if they were carrying out an investigation. You then just claim that during the conversation you didn't hear it.<br />
<br />
Please believe me when I say I am not being a cynic. There are a lot of people out there who love to be the centre of attention, and twice as many wanting to believe anything that the fakers say. All this goes back to the victorian seance tricksters. Nothing changes, merely the mode of operation. This is actually sad and quite annoying, as any genuine evidence that is captured is then under massive scrutiny and subjected to skepticism.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15726185873997647018noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7763327244602409692.post-52775260931970781732013-06-30T16:48:00.001+01:002013-06-30T16:48:27.074+01:00Popular theories on ghosts and ghost hunting gadgetsThere are many things that seem to have slipped into the collective knowledge of ghost hunting and are accepted as an absolute truth. Few of these (if indeed any) can be supported scientifically as an absolute fact. Take my favourite aggravation - orbs. What leap of faith first made someone view dust specs and anomalous spots of light on a digital camera photograph as being the energy of a spirit that is about to materialise (or whatever they say it means)? We could also hypothesize and say they are fall-out from the vapour trail of a UFO that is leaving earth's atmosphere - where does it all end???<br />
<br />
I once took several photographs at a wedding where some 60 or so people were dancing in a ballroom. Now either that ballroom (and a modern building at that) was the most haunted place on earth, or "orbs" are simply just dust. There were thousands of the shiny little critters.<br />
<br />
Another accepted theory is that we can "measure" the presence of a ghost/spirit/entity by using an EMF meter, because a nearby spirit causes a spike in EMF readings. Now don't get me wrong. I myself wander around with a couple of these devices wafting them around like some kind of Star Wars light sabre, so I am just as guilty as anyone. I have also had some strange anomalous readings that have just appeared, then as quickly disappeared. This isn't definitive proof that I have had a close encounter from beyond the grave.<br />
<br />
Another popular toy is the laser thermometer, and yes, I have one of those too. It's great fun. Making a little red dot appear on a wall some 10 feet away and proudly proclaiming one end of the wall is 5 degrees cooler than the other end. So what?? Most rooms have cold spots, but it's usually more to do with draughts and bad insulation than it is the paranormal.<br />
<br />
The best toy of all is a Frank's Box. For those that don't know what one is. It is an FM radio that is made to constantly search through the channels in a continuous loop. When you ask a question you get the occasional snippet of a conversation or a word coming through from a radio station. They are supposedly answers from the other side. Sometimes the answers can be remarkable, but more often they are just noises or utter nonsense. The law of averages says an occasional snippet would probably answer a question. I once asked a spirit if it was male or female and the box gave me the answer of "cream crackers". That's when I realised I must myself be a bit cream crackers for using it. <br />
<br />
Oh I know, I am coming across as some horrible sceptic and a kill-joy. Let those who want to believe in orbs and the like carry on doing so. I am still searching for the DEFINITIVE proof that something paranormal is happening.

<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: small;">To anyone with an interest in ghost hunting and the
paranormal, the name of Peter Underwood needs no introduction. I have read many
of his books and treasure every one of them that I own. His new offering 'Where
the Ghosts Walk' is set to become the handbook and must-read for every seasoned
and every would-be paranormal investigator. </span></div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: small;">There are many books on haunted
buildings, but this book is different. It is a well laid out volume of haunted
locations and their associated spooks and spectres. It is handily broken down
into different types of location, such as haunted airfields, haunted railways
etc, each entry giving details of what has been witnessed and the story behind
the haunting. If I could give this book 12 out of 10 then I would. Excellent
work Mr Underwood....excellent, excellent work.</span></div>

After asking a few more questions it transpired that the activity had been happening over many years. There had been many instances of the apparition of a young, blonde-haired girl being sighted, people being pushed and scratched whilst sleeping.<br />
<br />
Julian, Derek and I (namely members of Ghost Grapplers) arrived at 8pm to a very pleasant, modern, semi-detached house and did a preliminary sweep of the building in the presence of a handful of family members. We found no anomalous readings in the bedroom where activity had been reported, but we did find several anomalous readings in a small bedroom. on the landing and most peculiarly, half way up the door space (in mid air) to the downstairs front room.<br />
<br />
The investigation team, accompanied by the family members, then sat in a circle in the front room with an EMF meter positioned on a cabinet beside the living room door and a K-II EMF meter in the middle of the circle. We then asked for responses to the questions we were asking, but nothing happened with the meter in the centre of the circle, although the EMF meter near the door gave the odd feint blip in aswer to our questions. I then asked if it was afraid to enter the circle, and if it just liked to frighten people. The EMF meter near the door started going berzerk - it seemed we were annoying it. The temperature in the room also started to drop significantly. We had seen enough activity to warrant a more thorough investigation and will be returning in a couple of weeks for a longer stay.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15726185873997647018noreply@blogger.com0
