Hiya Claire 30

Many thanks. This message board is getting really interesting. It must be talked about quite a lot as so many people are visiting the site.

I wish I knew who Michael was, I suspect he is someone called "Insane" by the type of print he uses. Look for his previos messages.

What does everyone think?

Maybe we should all meet up and go for a drink together, I'd love that. There's a great pub in Birmingham called 'The Rope Walk' it is in St Paul's Square. Haunted too, I believe. It is in the Georgian Birmingham Square, which is quite wonderful and should be seen by everyone who knows and visits Birmingham.

See Ya

We can take those lovely chaps in admin. Where are they based, by the way?

No need to answer just a couple of observations.
When you type, and move over the keyboard, do you push the keys. This would make the key appear in the windows input buffer and onto the relevant application. You may alternatively "know" the ascii code for the lettering and be able to transmit it down the wires, or onto the circuit board.

When you switched the lights on, did you move the light switch. This would be required to make the contact and allow the electricity to flow round the circuit.... Hmmm

Finally the only way I can see to change the font is by moving the mouse over the Font size tab and changing it as well the Bold button. How do you manage to move the mouse. This intrigues me. You may be able to change the frequencies of the inputs going down the cable. Not knowing how the electrical field is influenced by spiriI dont know how this is possible.

Just a couple of observations. Still like the concept / story / intrigue so far. I am lucky enough to have a mind that enquires about things, and also loves a great story, and to use my imagination.

Keep it up. Please.

The area does exsist. Oldbury has many man made water ways to it, infact it is in this area that a lot of the canals meet up, The area was a main gargo route around the midlands up to the West and down to London. The area of toepath is vast. The area in my mind is a small semi circle of water that joins onto the Grand union canal. There was much activity here with many stores buildings and work shops in operation. Most of the area now has been made into as MP says into office space and i beleive there also to be a shopping centre close by as well.

I like the way you, in passing, mention something that is irrelevant to the story at the time, but is important later in the post.

For example the good bit about the kids breaking the window for jack, being a source of relief for him. Then later in the story the fact that he stands next to a broken window and is able to hear what the assailants say. This is well done, but seems to be more planned by an author's plot line, rather than an account of the storyteller.

Of course you do mention the fact Jack has learned to lip read, which could help his "hearing" ability.

As you can tell I am a sceptic, and like to work things out for myself. I could argue the other side too though, and give reasons why you may be telling the truth.

Still, it fills my coffee breaks in the day.

What I would like to see though, is a posting at 3am and 5am. rather than a normal "living" persons times of up to 1.30am being the latest. If you can do it whilst most people are asleep at say 3 or 5, where you would of course not be, I may believe a bit more. Or I would be in awe of your dedication to the subject.

Again. If you do or dont, I dont really mind.

Sorry for disturbing the story. I shall go and get a coffee now icon_smile.gif

Hiya all

Do ghosts show up on TV well, because the way things are going, our Michael Pennington is going to have his own TV series!

Imagine it!!!!

First ever ghost to have a tv series. Although that dishy chap in Edinburgh who runs those wonderful ghosts walks has done the odd tv thing, and he suppose to be dead. Adam Lyle deseased, I believe.

Unless you know different.

Pat

Hiya all

Whats happened to Admin, they have gone very quiet. Maybe this is too exciting for them.

Its exciting for me too!

and did I get my tales of true hauntings, - did I heck as like.

But I hope I have made lots of new friends in the process. Well, have I?

Lets all go out and try and find Michael and yes, I am slightly crazy, but not mad. I'm a lot a fun thought. and I really like to enjoy myself.

Let's face it, life is pretty boring without a sense of humour isan't it? and no, Michael certainly isan't me!

I am as puzzled as you all!!!!!!

See Ya
love Pat

I'm sure professors can and do swear but how many use the word 'dude'?
I would love for this 'story' to be true but we have to question things as i'm sure Micheal did when he was alive. If we didn't question things where would we be? icon_confused.gif
