Early spring cleaning

I've been working on Ghost Investigators' Paranormal Investigators page. Instead of just having all the UK links in alphabetical order I have broken the list up into England, Scotland, Ireland and Wales. This has brought home to me that England has a lot of entries and Scotland, Ireland and Wales only have a handful. I will be working on this. If you know any drop me a line.

Two new Charity Ghost Hunts

I have posted links to two new charity ghost hunts on my events page. Both need your support. You can see details by going to my events page http://www.ghost-investigators.co.uk/paranormal_events.html

Green Lazer Grid - the new paranormal toy

Just when I thought I had seen every gadget going, another one (of course) pops up out of the ether. A Green Lazer Grid thingy. It projects a grid of little green dots in front of you, and when a supposed ghost walks in front of this device then shadows are supposedly seen.

You know what this means don't you? - curiosity will eat me up until I buy one and have a play around with it. It will probably end up in the same drawer as my Franks Box, but who knows?

Ghost Hunt Evenings

The idea of the paid ghost hunt really does seem to have hit the mainstream. To my surprise, most of the providers of experience days now have these included within their itinerary.

Paranormal Events, Ghost Hunts etc

I have now added a forthcoming events page to my website www.ghost-investigators.co.uk - email me on editor@ghost-investigators.co.uk if you would like to add an event.

Haunted Places

I have updated my list of haunted places

I now have 35 UK places, 5 USA places, 3 Australian places and 1 Canadian BUT I NEED MANY MORE. If you have a suggestion please let me know.

Haunted manor fails to sell

Wymering Manor had been put up for sale by Portsmouth City Council, but it failed to reach the £400,000 reserve price. It went under the hammer at the Grand Connaught Rooms in Central London. Portsmouth council says it will now attempt to sell the property privately. The manor is believed to be one of the most haunted properties in Britain.

We all enjoy a night-time investigation round some old, haunted, stately pile, but would we want to live in such a place? It does make me wonder how much of a detriment the haunted tag has on property sales. From doing a little digging around on Google I find it has more than one ghost. One site claims the old place has 25!!! - I think such a place might test the nerves of even the strongest sceptic!

BBC Ghost Story for Christmas

They are doing a version of the M.R. James classic "Whistle and i'll Come to You". It's on BBC2 tonight (24th December). John Hurt is playing the lead character, so something tells me we are in for a treat. I think it's on at 9-30pm. I have a recording of the version Michael Hordern did back in 1968. Excellent stuff!

The new season kicks off

Halloween and bonfire night have been and gone and here we are in the dark nights again. My birthday is on the 31st October (yes Halloween). No wonder I have ended up liking all things spooky!
This Halloween must have been the first year in many when we haven't had Yvette and the team of serial screamers out on a live do. I almost miss the corny entertainment of it all. It must be my guilty secret!
I wonder what televisual delights are held in store for us this winter?
