You can all guess what's going to
happen next - someone is going to register on here under the name of
'Michael Pennington'!
*Sits twiddling thumbs, waiting for the inevitable*.

"Maybe "Michael Pennington" is
dead and the person spinning this story is actually one of his
murderers confessing?."
I thought that, also thought it'd make a damn fine story too
along those lines. Certainly more interesting than it being a ghost
who can type.
What next btw? someone gonna leave their gameboy in the office
and he becomes a master of mariokart?

"why are people so sceptic about
ghosts, cant you just accept the fact that modern technology has
allowed this spirit to contact the living?"
Sorry? Where is the proof... if this was the "spirit" of a dead
person then surely they would be happy to provide information to
confirm who they are.
If he is buried under the floor as he states and that the police
know then Police would have been in with a deep scan radar... this
would have made the news, it hasn't.
Maybe "Michael Pennington" is dead and the person spinning this
story is actually one of his murderers confessing?.

"Yes I would like all those
people who can prove that from what he has told us so far that it is
impossible for a spirit to communicate to us through the internet,
to explain how this is impossible."
Ok not impossible, but highly highly unlikely. Given that people
who would be his own age that are alive and received training on
computers are still struggle to use them, this person who was dead
before the advent of personal comptuers has picked up skills which
enable him to log on and sign up for a forum and type and change the
font from looking over the shoulder of someone?!?!
Her so called original messages to him involved one letter
responses yet now the guy types quicker and more professionally than
an entire typing pool?!?!?!
Considering "mediums" tend to just get basic facts from the
spirits they are contacting, just about get names and dates, this
guy seems pretty chatty.

If the poster of this unashamed
hoax, 'Michael Pennington', had originally chosen this forum for his
story, then he would have been laughed out of the room and branded a
troll!
It's no wonder he/she chose a forum away from the
paranormal.

The first thing any dead person
speaking through the internet is likely to want to do is prove who
they once were in life.
The stunning lack of verifiable information in this story and
elusiveness when challenged shows this is a hoax.

who can prove that from what he has told us so far that it is
impossible for a spirit to communicate to us through the internet,
to explain how this is impossible.
I am sure many of us would believe it is possible for spirits to
contact humans so how can we not listen and then make judgements
from what we have been told.

- unless shes all part of the
plot?
Could well be, i mean it wouldn't be too diffcult to set up a
small page like that and geneology pages come up pretty high in the
list when you google someone's name.
My own personal feelings could be that it is either a very
detailed and elaborate hoax, or related to some form of research by
possibly PhD student(s).

I wonder why there are sooo many
new topics started on this message board and so many are not even
related to Most haunted? it is very annoying. Proper subjects have
been pushed to the back of this list for people wanting to chat
about things not related to most haunted.
Well I suppose everyone has the right to free speech but I wish
they would go to a chat room or something to do that.

The entity is a rarety in this
world, a troll with a brain...
Nice story and I bet he's having a chuckle at those people trying
to verify the story.
Why is a dead person going to be worried about revealing a
location or using cookies on a forum ?

The techie talk is too techie for
me, but did you see the posting by the admin for that message board.
They said they couldn't find an IP address for his postings and they
would like an email from him. Have the admin just missed something,
is it possible to post anonmously?
Well I found his original message and posted it onto this website
being the brummie explorer I am heheh my bf thinks I am crazy having
so much interest in this. I am not saying I believe or not just it
is exciting to see what happens and if it can be disproved or not.

means fault ), unless they are using non bt supplied router .

yeah i have just thought although
i dont believe the story ( very entertaining though ) but heres a
though
what if michael pennington is actually a medium using that forum
who is in contact with this spirit ??? far fetched i know LOL .
But just say it is true can you imagine the publicity for the
company premesis and it is also mentioned that company is using bt
broadband and i do work for them and have access to company details
which i can try and check out ! .

Derek could visit the forum he is
on and speak to him there. By going on what he has given to how he
got there and what has happened to the place so far, it shouldn't be
that hard to trace where this building is.

He has said he cant come onto

is on. He would like the meduims on here to go to his forum, to give
him avise.

Well don't forget everyone he has
a lot more to tell us apparently. Only time will tell as more info
comes out and we can put more facts to this case it is very
interesting even if it is a load of bull. It would be great to hear
what an expert has to say on this..
