You have to admit, it is an original way to advertise a site isn't it?

If you posted a URL on Most Haunted, it would have been taken down almost straight away by the MODs (otherwise knows as the little hitlers sometimes).

Just to refresh peoples memories, the post by Michael a few days ago, before he made a reappearance just before went like this:

"Hello again my friends,

Thank you all for your comments.

Adelfaya, your scepticism is not unfounded. It is a trait of human nature and also present in the spirit world. I am sceptical about aliens. This is because I have experienced nothing to prove that they exist. That of course in itself confirms nothing. There may, or may not, be aliens. I have no idea.

I was not aware that my writing style had changed in any way. Badger has been perceptive and correct. It was a little rushed I confess.

Indeed Badger, has also picked up on the fact that things have moved to a different level. Do not be concerned though I have much more to say. It may just require a different strategy of delivery. The dilemma I have is the amount of interest that your postings are creating. I particularly avoided supernatural websites and settled for a quieter forum in my home city. There are reasons why. They will be divulged. I think the time has come to provide some reasons for my course of action.

I can obtain all kinds of information. Almost anything in fact, so long as I have a spirit contact in the right location. If I do not there is always another presence that will know of a spirit that can assist. This is a well organised network that spans the globe. I am heavily criticised by my peers for my actions, which are now becoming a source of discomfort to me. I have however proved them wrong and there are others that are supporting me in this cause. It is fortunate that the majority of you are sceptical and that it is assumed that I will not be believed or this program would have been shut down long ago. As mentioned previously, this could all be a hoax.

Perhaps the most useful contribution that the spirit world can provide to the human race is one of historic interest. Just because a spirit inhabits a lab does not mean that he or she can carry out effective research. I would hate to try picking up a test tube. Jack would fare better at this I feel. Many spirits marvel at the advances of technology and are in awe of the clever minds behind new discoveries. Badger, you ask sensible and intelligent questions.

My dear admin. I must be causing you chaos. I hope that you do not object to my hijacking your Message Forum. I am once again in your debt for you kind assistance. You have certainly been a most hospitable host. If you owned a hotel I would haunt it with pleasure.

And Pat, my dear Pat. Your request for a medium. The object of my pursuit. I will come back to this remark further on. People are discovering the reasons that lie behind my unconventional approach to the living. You are certainly doing your utmost to promote our fine and modern city Pat. I wish I could see it in its full glory for myself. It has changed so. And a note to others - Please refrain from any questions asking how I would know what it looks like today, and take a look at the photographs on this fine web site and that of http://www.virtual-brum.co.uk/ and http://www.bplphoto.co.uk/

My Dear Claire, how possessive of you. I have visited Most Haunted and the links of forums that people have been kind enough to provide here on these threads. I am always interested to see what people are up to. I have visited a few similar sites and some of these before, but this is not where I would choose to frequent normally. There is more scepticism on the dedicated sites than anywhere else, and can you blame them. Of course not. The supernatural is their interest and they have seen charlatans come and go on many occasions.

For me, it is difficult to locate what I seek on those sites. This does not mean that I am against them or the people that frequent them at all. Moreover, I admire them. But, this is my home. This is my city. This is where I start.

Pat, I would consider holding a party for the 800 if I didn’t already know the 2 spirits that frequent the Bull Ring. There an additional 4 in New Street Station if this is of interest. There are no others that we are aware of in that vicinity.

Brendan. I almost bowed and paid you homage. I thought that you were the answer to my dreams with your opening message;

Hi, my name is Brendan and I run the supernatural world.

I would be interested to see some of your publications and shall make a point of visiting your website now that you have mentioned it. Thank you for this information. This certainly is a tall but far fetched story and I thank you for your compliments and for taking the trouble to visit us. Just one little piece of advice if I may, and I really do hope that you will not take this the wrong way, but are you not supposed to have a more open mind than most if you are experienced in the paranormal? Now, having said that, I seek advice from you. Just what exactly lies behind my spirit mind? I would like to know this from as many sources as possible please. Perhaps I should seek help. Could it be that I am seeking help? Perhaps I am insane Pat. Perhaps I am not. To create speculation and theory I will change my font tonight. Will that help? It was kind of you to offer us the opportunity of going for a drink one night. I fear beer passes right through me and spirits give me flashing lights and strange feelings. I am glad you are with us Pat. You are a shining star.

Dippysea. You are checking up on the known laws of physics. Parts of what you ask are easy to answer and will conform to what you would expect. The light does not. Let us take a look at the keyboard. I feel as if I am pushing the keys, if you can call it a feeling. I believe it to be more of an electrical charge. I am aware of a slight movement in the keys but not a firm pressing down of the keys on their pad. However, each time it works perfectly, and there is no apparent problem with them making a contact. In Jack’s case the keys are depressed fully and the effect is the same as that of a human, except of course that all you see are the keys being depressed. Jack has to be more careful than I do as he is a noisy typist. There is no sound when I type. Whilst Jack’s actions seem physical, there is nothing physical about him. Therefore I can only deduce that we must be using some form of electrical energy. Almost every spirit will confer that this is the easiest way of describing our existence, actions, and operations.

The switch does not move when the light goes on. I agree with what you are saying, and a good storyteller would probably tell you that the switch moved in order to comply. However, it does not move.

The mouse is very easily explained and is easier than the keys to operate. It is a touch pad built into the laptop. You are indeed lucky to have a mind that enquires about such things.

Badger you have been fishing around in the canal backwaters and Pat, I do not show up on TV and I never shall.

Bam bam. Why does the professor swear and use the word dude? I have no idea. Why are you called bam bam? Well noted Claire, and more importantly, not a long time since his death either, well, compared with say my own circumstances. He is not American Anna.

Ah, fellow ghost. You amuse me. I shall have to seek a meeting with you so that you can educate me in the ways of shouting and the use of vocal chords that I miss so much. I am sure you were just dreaming. When the affect of the alcohol wears off, the numbness will disappear, and you can shake yourself again and take an aspirin.

Who is this? Press_office. If you are really from the press you should endeavour to read a little more carefully. After all, is this not your trade? You annoy me. How can you represent a quality newspaper if you cannot read properly yourself and pay attention to content and my expression of wishes so clearly documented here. I fear you seize an opportunity for your own personal interests and I have no interest in such matters.

This concerns me. I knew this would happen. I think some re structuring and a more sensible method of delivery of my memoirs is now required. The usefulness of this forum has ended. I will not desert you my friends. I feel I cannot do that. I may however need to rethink the way I am going about my quest.

I must say the level of questions and observations has increased considerably. When I last visited I was let off lightly.

And now a special message for Chris.Wain. Thank you Chris for being in the minority and yet still having the conviction to stand up for your beliefs. You are indeed a brave man. There are many that will snigger and deride you for your point of view, as they do mine. I do not praise you just because you believe in my story. I have said before that it is not relevant to me what people think. I praise you for being honest. I notice that Anna supports your view. You are not alone. Anna you are rather a sweetie aren’t you.

Thank you Ambient Breeze. That was interesting. I have seen a very similar article. This is the type of article that people should be reading. For those that have no wish to look it up, although I would suggest that you do, the article clearly deals with computers and the fact that this is not a new discovery as some of you may think. Reading this may help you understand, and, ask me less questions on the technical aspects of the communication.

http://www.sacbee.com/content/business/story/5011823p-6019855c.html

I would particularly draw your attention to the part that states “ ITC believers say contacts are possible because teams of spirits are committed to opening channels of communication between both worlds. Such teams, they say, require harmony and cooperation among their living contacts for successful ITC to occur”. I would place great emphasis on the harmony and cooperation among their living contacts.

This web site also shows a link to an organisation that is trying its best to provide important research with a complete lack of sufficient funding. I know this and similar web sites and organisations very well. Whilst millions of pounds of your taxes are spent in armaments to provide cannon fodder for the after life, organisations like this that could help bond the ties between the spirit world and the living are laid waste and discarded as insignificant entities of no merit.

http://www.worlditc.org/

Where are you from Ambient Breeze? It mentions Suffolk on your web site. Are you a medium? Can you please respond by PM in the formal way of identification or if you are not aware of this can you perhaps give me an idea of your abilities with regard to ITC. Are you another Janet?

Ebjeebe – Thank You. I did not expect such a level of attention. It is most unwelcome with regard to publicity hounds, despite what many may think. I imagine by now that some of you are beginning to understand the reason behind why I have made contact in this way on a message forum. Am I mistaken?.

Denski I do like your photo but I would imagine you are a little young to be in here.

Mooksta – Thank you for the warning. You have confirmed my worst fears. I do not know what the Fortean site is but I have no wish for commercial mediums to try and establish contact. There is now far too much talk of Press and Media involvement. You are most definitely right. It is time to withdraw.

Now, before everyone is up in arms and disagrees with Mooksta will you please let me continue because there is so much more that I really want to tell you and I have no wish to leave you in any suspense. Mooksta is not saying this as someone from the media. He is being helpful and we all know that he is right. So I have a proposal.

I have no wish to leave you without completing my memoirs. However, the situation at present is such that I spend most of my time answering your questions and trying to provide you with pointers. I am constantly asked to prove that ghosts exist. To reveal myself and come forward. Many of you are missing the point. If you think about what has been said and discussed, you will have already started to work out what this is all about.

I reiterate that I have no intention of changing my existence or my environment before I am ready. We are happy here. I have not been completely honest with you in more than one respect. Firstly, embarrassed though I am, I have to admit that my memoirs were just a hook. The real meaning behind this communication is much more important than what happened to me. I am gratified that you found it of interest all the same.

As a result of this experiment, I have now established contact with 3 more lost spirits and two very helpful humans with abilities beyond the norm. In essence, this short exercise of a few days has produced some spectacular results. Two human visitors to this message board who have ‘the special gift’ are now communicating with us and helping our new found spirit friends. This is a truly spectacular achievement of which we should all be proud.

There are rules and established methods and lines of contact between the spirit world and the living. We have not broken any rules. We have just edged a little towards the outer circle of what is deemed to be the acceptable barrier between our worlds.

Alas, I did not find my genuine and experienced medium. Perhaps I should have provided more signals so that they would have understood. No matter. I have found two wonderful human beings to join Janet in our crusade. This kind of matching between human and spirit is happening all over the country. You should be aware of it. Not only this country, but all round the globe. This is an organised and orchestrated mission that will change the course of history. Of that you should have no doubt.

So, where do we go from here? This mission has ended for me. However, I now have a problem that I had not envisaged. I have enjoyed being with you so much. I have relished your enthusiasm and your searching questions and now I must go and let you down by leaving? If it were me I would feel used and conned. I obviously cannot do this but I also cannot risk putting my situation and that of others in jeopardy.

The solution would appear to be to put a halt on my memoirs in here. I cannot answer all your questions and provide you with my memoirs at the same time. The account becomes fragmented this way, separated and interrupted by text, leaving the reader to become confused and uncertain as to the previous content when the next chapter arrives.

Here is what we will do. I will collate and re organise my memoirs. I will add in the content that I have not included so far, and I will bring my account up to the present day. I will include what I know about the spirit world and pass you information that I have gleaned from others. You must promise me that you will use this for your own personal use. It is for you and you only. Every member of this message board who has been involved will be entitled to it. It is NOT for anyone else and for general distribution or re sale. I will make sure that this is prepared and delivered to you.

You must give me some time to prepare this. It will take more than a week. You must be patient. In the meantime I will continue to provide any information that I can, and answer your questions, but I do not bend forks, cannot guess your name, and I do not know how to communicate with your dog.

It has been a pleasure. I must now sneak away to find some quiet corner of the web with which to repeat this exercise away from the prying eyes of the media. It is time for me to become Martin Farringdon from Utah or Texas. A cowboy who died a violent death in a stampede. Or something along those lines. You get the idea. The process works. It is tried and tested.

We need more recruits. Our network is growing fast. There are so many more souls to save. I will be back. I will not abandon you. I think too highly of you for that, and, after all, this is my home city. Most importantly, you met the real Michael Pennington with a real story to tell.

Until soon my friends.

Lobelia, Spanglo and Shearluck – Get to bed this is madness.
Goodnight Mooksta – another 5 and I would have been able to chat with you. Did you not see my smiling at you on your Mac screen? This also works when the appliance is off. Goodnight everyone. Time for my chat channels.

Michael"

I think one of the more pertinent statement he gave was:

"You must give me some time to prepare this. It will take more than a week. You must be patient. In the meantime I will continue to provide any information that I can, and answer your questions"

He said that he will finish the story. He also stated he will answer our questions but in his last statement he said his time on here had come to an end.

Confused

Ghost/Robert/Matthew:

There are other members online now but are quiet, I get the feeling the are reading through the past posts since they were on so they may be a little more time yet.

Then there will be more people for you to converse with.

I will have to start to prepare for my drinking session - so I will be going shortly.

PS. Wasn't today supposed to be the 'internet free day' that was featured on the news? Basically it is a day where everyone stops using the net and joins the real world with friends/family.

I can guess which group came up with that stupid notion!, but on this occasion I will partly abide with the recommendation, albeit spent in a pub getting alcoholically relaxed icon_smile.gif

"There are many questions I do not answer this time."

But I tuned in for some answersjavascript:emoticon('icon_sad.gif')

"I will try and contact the three special people here who have a higher degree of understanding and spiritual enlightenment."

Okay ADMIN can we start a betting pool with odds on who they are?javascript:emoticon('icon_razz.gif')

"Today I am in Tokyo. From an IP perspective of course."

ADMIN, he was in Tokyo wasn't he?

"Do not worry I will continue to visit. I have to keep my eye on certain potential."

Oooooh....spooky!javascript:emoticon('icon_lol.gif')

"This is not the way forward".

Ghost/Matthew/Eric I don't think Michael wants you here. Maybe you shouldn't worry...or mabye you should...

"In the same way as I am able to affect your computers and the logo on this message board I will turn your world upside down if you attempt to treat my world with contempt and ridicule and cause problems to my friends and the users of this forum."

Cue thunder in distance!javascript:emoticon('icon_evil.gif')

"We attempted a photographic session today. The weather and conditions were perfect. We have some nice pictures of the canal bank and some brick walls."

Down in the south here we have no care for the weather conditions in the North! What was the weather like today in the Oldbury Area of Birmingham?

Don't let my comments about being in the North derogatory, I'm off to start cooking me haggis!

Happy Burns Night Everyone!

Ghost-Sceptic asked.

As for why Mr. T is such a bad actor... I'll let Ghost/Matthew/Eric field that one.

I'm here *waggles fingers*

I slept like the dead last night...over 12 hours.

After yesterday I felt very down and disturbed. Please don't laugh - I doubt you will because my weirdness can't hold a candle to any of the weirdness on the main stage here - but my Spirit Guide cautioned me about this. He wasn't specific as to what was a danger here but he made it clear that I'm not to swallow everything presented hook, line and sinker.
So how's that? I have a sceptical Spirit Guide. My gut feeling is that he was referring to our all getting excited over yesterday's 'readings' and that that is not the focus of why we've shown up here together.
As entralling as a chat with Ghost - Matthew is my Guide indicated that we mustn't lose focus.

Focus of what?

So me? I'm sipping my morning coffee and today I have showered and dressed and will try to catch up on all that's happened.

One thing is certain....this little group of regulars here - I LOVE YOU icon_smile.gif You're the most wonderful bunch I could have stumbled on from across the Pond. If anyone ever wants to chit chat via email or other and compare our countries, etc I'm up for it icon_smile.gif
