Dear Guest

You may have heard the name before. It is quite a popular name by all accounts. I can be quite specific and categorically deny any association with Michael Pennington the writer, Michael Pennington Johnny Vegas, or Michael Pennington the footballer, or astronaut, or indeed, any famous Michael Pennington at all. I had a humble life and about my only claim to fame was saving someone’s life on a holiday in Blackpool once.

Listener – This was indeed a very traumatic time for my family. Traumatic on two occasions. On my disappearance and also at my re appearance. We have become close again. I am pleased at the way my daughter has turned out but a little sad for my ex wife. She never had it easy after my departure. She did re marry and I cannot blame her for that but her husband died 3 years ago. It is a strange re union and she finds it difficult to grasp. I get on much better with my daughter. She has understood the situation wonderfully and has accepted me for what I am. Thirty years is a long time. Don’t expect that someone can walk away for such a long time and then return and expect everything to be the same again. Of course, in my case this would be impossible anyway.

I do feel fortunate but it makes me feel sad. I am glad my family know what happened but I do not like to think about the lost years. I did not see my father or mother again and they have passed away. I was not there for them when they were dying. They never had the chance to find out what happened to their son. That is something that I cannot do anything about.

are you Johnny Vegas micheal? i got the impression michael had a close connection to entertaiment but i dout it is Johnny Vegas as he seems to be on here every night and Johnny Vegas must have a very busy life and cant afford to stay up at night protending to be a ghost trapped in a office block Johnny Vegas did admit to hunting for asian brides online on room 101 so he must have some idea of the internet icon_lol.gif im sure the truth will come out soon to who our mystetious friend is.
when you do come out can i take you up the pub for a hard core drinking session i want to show you how spirits really work i know many, jack daniels and the spirit of a famous beefeater im sure you would love there company icon_wink.gif .
all the best

No Faeden I am NOT Johnny Vegas. The truth will indeed be apparent in the near future. I would love to see how spirits work but I fear they would just go right through me.

I am finding it almost a full time job keeping up with your story! Thanks so much for sharing this with us. It has really made my life more interesting and I am sure I am not the only one who has been thinking alot about the things you have told us.

There is so much info swimming round my head trying to analyse what you are saying, anyone else feel like this?

Michael would it be better if we didn't bombard you with questions until you have finished telling us your story? Just an idea it might be easier for you?

Ok well have fun tonight, how did you like the movie Ghost?

Good Morning everybody. You were right about the film Ghost. It was not anything spectacular.

Flyspy Iam pleased that you enjoy reading my memoirs. It makes the laborious task of typing it all out much easier and provides me with the incentive to continue.

I have to agree with you. It would be much more simple to finish the entire story and ask questions later. I am sure people will forget parts of the story this way and end up with a fragmented account of what actually happened. It may be the reverse of course. People asking questions while it is fresh on their mind.

Engineers are in today. We had a power outage during the night. I may not be online until the night time. Have a wonderful day everyone.

I have to admit that the only spirits I have come into contact with have been in a bottle, so I am very sceptical.
I also find it hard to believe you watch the soaps while being dead as that would be my idea of purgatory!

Michael,

This link shows the "Old shafts" on the map of Oldbury.

Is this where you are??

It's not likely that you will answer my question, but interesting for everyone else.

Thanks,

Emma xxxx

Also, this link talks about Allen Boatyard? It's got some history of the site which is quite interesting:

Michael - I understand that you are in a building associated with Thomas Clayton the canal carrier. Is this the old maintainance dock or the old wharf?

Morning Michael,

Thankyou for your reply, im glad the telly was good last night !!!

Please understand that people are going to bombard you with questions because we are very intrested.
Those of us who watch Most Haunted have waited ages for something like this to happen, and YOU can be the proof that paranormal does exist.
I feel that if you are who you say you are(im not saying you are telling porkies) we would have heard about it way before now. On the Most Haunted I found a link on the Most Haunted Website

Thank you for visiting my web page. I am Geraldine Pennington and I am starting a family tree. This is a bit difficult though as my father went missing in 1971 in Birmingham. His name was Michael Pennington. I will tell you a little bit about myself. I am 44 years old and now live in Cardiff. My mother is still in Birmingham. If you have any information about horses or attend horse trials in Wales I would like to know. Bye for now Love Geraldine xxxx

Is this your daughter???

Please tell me more.

Regards

Emily xx

Thanks guest, do you mean the Allen Boats link?

I found lots in that article that gave some credence to what Michael is saying. Very interesting. Would be fantastic to know if that's the same boatyard he talks about, and there are old shafts nearby, too icon_smile.gif

Clever idea Emily. I would like to know who he is too. He has certainly sent my original message into space hasn't he?

Does anyone have any ghost stories? Please help!

Love to all Pat

Emily - unfortunately most newspaper archives are not on line so the only way to do it would be to head to Birmingam Reference Library and trawl through the archives. Or you could contact each paper and see if they would search their archives for you.
