I knew quite a bit of it already - just needed to firm up the dates.

When I read Michaels posting it just jarred with me that the dates weren't too realistic.

It will be interesting to see where he goes with his story - I did however find the statement "300 of your Earth Years" which is soo B sci-fi style talk.

Will I ever get any real ghost stories. Any offers would be gratefully received.

Many thanks

Pat

P S I hear part of Dogpool Lane in Stirchley suppose to have a ghost!

People are always crossing out the L and making it Dogpoo Lane. To be honest, I think they are right.

Strange you should ask Pat as I have a story for you which just happened!

2 experiences which I had myself last night were that at a few seconds after midnight (I knew as I heard the clock chiming and confirmed by looking at the computer clock), I heard a disctinctive scratching at the other side of my bedroom door while I was busy on the computer (that I cannot explain).

Secondly, I like my midnight feasts and about 3am I went to the kitchen to make a sandwich but I was I stopped in my tracks in the passage - as I smelled a strong scent of roses - I have had this three times now in exactly the same location over the past 3 years.

I do have an air freshener on a ledge next to where this happened, but it did not have a strong enough smell, nor did it have the same smell of what I experienced.

Lastly this experience was from my mother who has just told me of something she experienced last night/this morning.

She described that during the last few nights she was feeling on edge for no apparent reason and even deliberated whether to turn the bedroom light off or not when going to bed, which is unusual for her as she is the grounded type who believes there may be something in the paranormal, but always tries to attach a logical explanation... and normally does.

Anyway, eventually she did get to sleep but woke up around 1am or so and saw a solid grey figure of an old man standing in front of the window - to the side of the bed.

She said he had a grey aura around him and she could see quite clearly, but the experience only lasted a second or so, but she commented that her initial reaction was that it was her husband (who is still alive by the way).

She did admit this happened immediately after waking up, and could therefore just be one of those times when you are in that state when your mind is still half asleep, but it is interesting... to me at least icon_smile.gif

I am just curious as to what will happen next.

Maybe all this was brought on by last nights edition of 'Most Haunted' - which I must admit was more funny and entertaining than usual icon_smile.gif

Maybe I should give her my Digital camera so she can capture it/him if and when it/him appears again.

So there you go, nothing earth shattering, but a ghost story of sorts anyway. I will keep you informed if my scepticism is challenged by further experiences icon_wink.gif

Hi Pat, found this and thought you may find some of it interesting....you probaly know ofm already,but in case you don't.......

England - Birmingham - Brightstone Road - screaming noises can be heard around 3:00 a.m. Some people have believed they have seen a pale white boy crying they thought the boy was around 15 to 18. It is thought to be a ghosts of a young Boy called peter who on the 19-06-1989 mysteriously went missing and was never found.

England - Birmingham - Dudley Castle - Dudley Catsle is home to many ghosts although these are the ones that are sighted the most. 1 - The Grey Lady. Thought to be the ghost of Dorothy Beaumont who died of natural causes, maybe in childbirth. She is said to walk the castle steps because her husband was not at her funeral. 2 - The Medieval Lady. During a medieval evening in 1983 at the castle there was a fancy dress competition.In the crowd the judges spotted an elderly lady wearing a sackcloth shift, grey shawl, and sackcloth wrapped around her feet. She looked so authentic that she was awarded first prize. But she had disappeared. 3 - The Black Monk. From time to time a monk in black habit appears. He has been sighted three times by staff and is seen frequently by visitors. 4 - Lady Jane. She was a resident of the castle but was beheaded. She now walks the castle grounds and frequently makes herself known to staff and visitors. On holloween 2002, a live paranormal investigation took place at the castle. This was done by the Most Haunted team from Living TV. It was the first experiment of its kind and was broadcast live all over the UK. During the experiment the shows resident medium, Derek Acorah, made contact with all of the spirits mentioned above and many more. The Medieval lady proved to be quite a character, and said she was very proud that she won that competition. She made herself known by tapping and moving things. Many mysteries were finally uncovered during this very interesting investigation. The team have done 2 more live investigations since then, one at Dover castle on Christmas eve 2002, and the other at the midland grand hotel in London on April 1st 2003. They have also done investigations at many of the places on this list.

England - Birmingham - Fountain close - people have seen a large family consisting of 2 boys ages: 9 and 12, a young girl about 7, a woman in her early 30's and a man in his late 30's. A mother died in childbirth and the other people died mysteriously after.

England - Birmingham - Kangs discount store - many people have believed to see a lollypop walking out of the shop on it's own.

England - Birmingham - Sherburne road - an old man with a top hat and old fashioned clothes picking up papers at around 3 am in the morning.
bye for now,
Love,Pen xx

Hiya Mr Sceptic or can I call you Ghost

Many thanks for that. Where did it happen, can I go and see it myself. I am happy to go ghost-hunting at any ones home.

I like curry and expensive choclates, if any one is willing to have me for the evening.

For that you get an evening of sintulating wit and repartee.

See ya

Pat

PostPosted: Thu Feb 19, 2004 6:55 pm    Post subject: Life on another plane Reply with quote

My Dear Friends,

I have not been truthful with you. I am a baked bean from Wigan. I led a happy and eventful life in the great outdoors before being abducted by humans and subjected to tortuous and cruel treatment by my captives.

One day I was basking in the sun and enjoying all that mother nature bestows upon us. The next minute I was brutally ripped from my pod and subjected to a terrible journey. I was thrown amongst my fellow beans and taken to a processing factory where I was almost drowned in boiling water and swirled in spices and tomato puree. If this was not bad enough they then sealed me in a tomb with many others of my species.

I now sit on a shelf in Tesco surrounded by millions of us who have been subjected to this genocide and destruction of our race. The reason I am communicating with you is nothing short of a miracle. Last week we had a visitation by a being from outer space who said he was from the 11th plain. Our communication was via telepathy.

With the technology that has been bestowed upon me by this benevolant alien, I shall now be able to escape from my fate and devourment by humans. Once released from the can I shall wait until the moment when I am mercilessly poured upon buttered toast and then I shall leap aboard the vortex and take up residence on the 2nd plane which is specifically designated for suppressed citizens of the cruel canned food trade.

I am training all beans to learn this new method of salvation. You will not be allowed to continue eating us for much longer. Power to the beans. Our destiny has been decided.

OK, so Ive had a hard day. On a more earthly plane I think that if this story is being written by a group it should be possible to make up a ghost story or alien tale of our own. There is a guy called greyhawk on this message board that seems to have been eaten by the grays or perhaps he is just busy but what if we continued his story and added bits to it to see how it developed? Just a thought. Everyone could add a few words. I wonder how it would turn out. That would really be an experiment and probably quite amusing. Anyone game?

Spoke to a pilot today who confirmed that he had seen UFO's over Scotland but neither he or his co pilot entered it in the aircraft log as he was worried about his superiors thinking he was cracking up. Apparently this happens quite a lot.

On a more earthly note its my tea time so Im off.

You may jest when talking of the massacre of the bean population, but I am living proof that they are trying to communicate with me after I have devoured hundreds of them at a time.

The communications nearly always happen not long after I have devoured them and this communication comes in the form of hissing wind from a part of the body where the sun does not shine!

I think they ARE communicating with us but I, like others, have just passed it off as a normal occurrence, but now I will pay more attention in case there is a pattern to the noises such as morse code.

Whatever they are saying when they communicate, their breath stinks immediately after they speak icon_biggrin.gif

My dear Pat, you can call me whatever you wish, but Mr. Sceptic has a nice ring to it.

The events happened in the family home but no further happenings have taken place, so the ghost must be short on energy or is a bit bashful.

Before I invite anyone else, I will invite the 'Most Haunted' crew to stay first as I want to see the terrified behaviour of little Yvette first hand (bless her little cotton socks) - now that's entertainment!

My Dear Friend,

This is as a result of flatulance vibrations which travel around a room or small environment with a speed and deadliness that is very impressive. They strike in lifts, offices and even in the comfort of your own home.

These vibrations are in binary. You really have to listen close up to try and understand the messages. The aroma discharged is intended to shroud their messages in secrecy and is a highly effective deterent against humans. There is most definately a pattern.

This species is dangerous and should not be released from their environment. Each can should carry a health warning.

The Krill are secretly plotting to harness the flatulance vibrations and use them as a new weapon against the human race. Beware of the beans. They are hostile enemies of mother earth. I have spoken.

This directive was brought to you from the Council of Elders.

Mr Easyjetter,
I believe some of your race have been interbreeding with humans.You only have to watch a few hours of our audio visual medium before you are subjected to these chimera.Prime examples are David Dickenson and Judith Chalmers.Please,please be cautious when approaching these orangey hued individuals.They have the ability to unleash noxious gases upon unsuspecting persons.

Don't think it would work, - do you?

Anyone know anything about him?

Hello everyone

I think I want to train as a parapsycologist. Where can I go to train for that. I want to go and do a course related to ghost hunting. How on earth do you start to do that?

Any offers of help would be gratefully received.

Birmingham University has a lecturer called Jason Braithwaite who goes ghost hunting, is believe.

Has anyone any ideas how you get started with all this as I am totally lost, well more lost that usural and that saying something.

Regards

A lost, confused, looking for help, Brummie, whose got a puzzled look on her face!!!!!
