Pat

Hi Pat well as I mentioned before I used to live in Oldbury and I reckon it is a very haunted area!

My house I lived in was definately haunted, the rumours say it was built on an old church yard. It was quite a new house but we always felt a presence there quite a friendly one. Our cats would chase after things that were not there and occasionaly myself and the person I was sharing the place with would say we saw things through the corner of our eyes.

Lots of times things would go missing and reappear a few days later which was really strange but got annoying after a while. My housemate once shouted at it to stop with hiding stuff and it did stop for a while!

I actually never felt that I was alone in that house and it was always a nice feeling. I would go back and live there any day.

Not much of a real spooky story to tell unfortunatly but if I was you I would get yourselves down to Dudley castle that is haunted and just down the road from our Michael and where I used to live.

Hiya Flyspy

Thank you for the story. I too am not scared of ghosts. I'd love to see one, althought I believe I have once, at the Underground Vaults in Edinburgh. Anyone from Edinburgh using this message board? If there is you are so lucky to live there, it is beautiful and historic. I loved the closes and wynds.

I never thought of Oldbury as being an haunted place. Are the pubs haunted? I love going to haunted pubs and restaurants. Well, I might as well enjoy myself.

Anyone up for ghost hunting with me?

Love to all Pat ----x----

I have just spent the last hour reading this thread.Hello Michael.I would love to believe you are for real.There may be another way for you to communicate.It's called E.V.P. I can't remember the exact details but it involves cassette recordings.Do you think I could communicate with spirits who have passed over by leaving a word document open on my P.C.?I'm sure that there is a presence in my house.
Best Wishes
Janet

I don't know for sure but I would say there are plenty of haunted pubs in Dudley Oldbury and the Black country area. It is a very special place where most of the place and the people haven't changed for years. Have you ever been to the black country museum? I bet there are ghosts there. It is a little town mad up exactly how it used to be a hundred years or so ago. They use the original houses and shops and rebuild them in the museum area.

The canal from Birmingham passes through the museum it's a really nice place. There are plenty of pubs and resturants in the black country dating back many years if you live in Birmingham I would advise you to go.

Hi Pat

There are loads of ghosts in Brum and the surrounding areas.

I suggest you get a book by Anne Bradford and Barrie Roberts called Midlands Ghosts and Hauntings. I have met both the authors a couple of times when they helped me with a project at uni, and the book is good.

There lots of stories about ghosts in Birmingham and some of the places might suprise you.

Hello Michael, I am fascinated with your story I found you by website Most Haunted, you should make a visit we would love to speak to you. I told my hubby about you and your story i could'nt believe he was so open minded, his view was aliens try to make contact why not a ghost. I am a believer but why are you not talking during the working week? are you at work? i wonder! i think you should speak to Derek Acorah yuour spirit need to be put at rest.

E.V.P,
Is a recording that is surposed to pick up spirit noises. The human boundies are between 500 and 3000 hz. No one has managed to get to either extreme though, Spirit voice range between 0 and 300hz and very good dictaphones can pick up these frequencies. Some adjustment may be needed from time to time.

If this is a hoax, it would have cost the British industry many many thousands of pounds in lost man hours. Some come on Michael we need some hard facts please.

Hiya Badger

I'm Pat who started off this whole thing! All I did was ask for ghost stories!!!

I am very interested in EVP. I would love to buy one of those gagets for recording spirit voices with, but where do I get one from? I would like one for when I go to stay in a hotel that is rumoured to be haunted, I can leave it on all night. Just to see if I pick anything up on tape. Have you experience of these recorders?

Picture the scene -- in the morning listening to the playback, getting nothing but a load of interferences and nothing else. Blimey - what a disappointment!

Anyone else used one of these? do they work? I don't, I'm capitvated by the message boards. But I do everything that I should, so no-one can moan at me. I then have a little break and delight you all with my messages.

Are you suitablely delighted?

Best wishes Pat

Pat - thats the problem with recordings - you have to sit through it all and listen for anything interesting. It can be very dull if you have 3 or 4 hours of recording to go through...
