Hi Michael,
I've just spent last hour catching up on todays postings.I have found your messages so thought provoking.I think you may find that you can't walk through walls as they were there at the time of your passing.Perhaps if there are any new walls that have been constructed in your building you may be able to pass through them.
I think there is a reason behind peoples scepticism.For if we were to believe 100% in ,what I can only inadequately describe as an afterlife,we would no longer strive to be the best we can.After all ,if we know that life is an eternal cycle,would we not be tempted to bail out when the going got tough?Because there is no cast iron proof of an eternal existance we carry on learning and evolving.
This message has taken me a long time to compose,halfway through I had to check that this belief didn't compromise my atheism.Thank God for online dictionaries!(only joking)
Best wishes to you,Jack and of course Janet,

The other Janet

evening all icon_biggrin.gif

I pressume most people have watched the film "Ghost"?

There is a scene where Sam has found out that Carl murdered him and he has gone to the office to try and scare him....

Well didnt sam comunicate by using the computer?
He typed Murderer over and over again.

So i was just wondering, (as Micheal had made reference to the film earlier) if this is real, then communicating through computers has been known to people for awhile. If this isn't true then maybe this is where he got his idea from.


I'm enjoying every minute of it whatever!!

Hello everybody. I trust you are well. My my, we have all been very busy havn’t we. I am continuing to compile my memoirs and will have this completed for you as soon as I am able. It will not take too long.

The interest that this has caused in both the spiritual world and the world of the living is intriguing. I would have expected this more in the land of the living than I would have done in the spirit world. However, it would seem that we are as inquisitive alive as we are dead. I have had approaches from some of my contacts about their own experiences. I hope to share some of this with you when my article is fully documented.

I feel I must now catch up where I left off and endeavour to answer your questions. Before I begin I will make an important announcement. Janet has already informed you that we will be providing you with a copy of my book. She has been in contact with the admin people at Birmingham UK Com who have kindly offered to assist me in the publication of my experiences. I had originally anticipated that they post my story on a set of web pages so that the viewer can read the whole article without interruption.

Janet had offered to produce a booklet for limited distribution to interested parties but the number of people has risen considerably and I would not wish Janet to be over burdened with the associated costs of producing such a booklet. I have therefore accepted with great appreciation the services of the admin team in their offer to produce an e book which can be opened and viewed on any computer or palmtop. Its method of distribution is simple and effective. I trust this meets with everyone’s approval. It will, as promised, be available without charge as I have no requirement for income or possessions.

To the team at this web site, I thank you. Janet has relayed to me the fact that you said it was a pleasure to assist me with my story. I assure you, the pleasure is all mine and I am indebted to you. I will be sending you the finished article as soon as I can via Janet with whom you are already in contact.

And now, I move on to the task of picking up where I last left off and providing you with any information that you seek.

Mullentino – Wise words my friend. Subjective reasoning and logic is not something that can be taken lightly. I have seen the discussions that take place in other forums and the fraudulent activities of some individuals that would automatically raise suspicion and caution.

Incidentally, and whilst on this subject, I can confirm that I am very suspicious of many commercial mediums and charlatans who claim to understand the supernatural. There are many instances on record where a spirit has witnessed the most amateur of ghost hunting practices. These involve lights, video recorders, tape recorders and a host of seismic equipment that would put the film Ghostbusters to shame. Yes I have watched this before anyone asks. A most humorous film.

I can recall the topic of conversation with a spirit friend of mine who experienced a group of ghost hunters, going to great lengths to fabricate digital images on a camera, so that they would have some evidence to show their club members the next day. These were ordinary people who had probably set out to obtain the truth and been misled and misguided by more strong willed thrill seekers seeking recognition.

There is much made of ouija boards and the dangers of calling up the spirits via this medium. Look at this from a different perspective. Let me provide you with an example that Jack proposed. Consider that you had been trapped in a house or building for a long period of time. That building may have been empty or inhabited but you had found no way of communicating with the people that resided there or you had been alone for years waiting for some excitement.

Without warning and out of the blue you see people huddle around a table and prepare for a calling of the spirits. A professional psychic medium is going through his pre amble and setting the scene for the calling of the dead.
I have no objection to humans trying to make contact, we actively encourage it, but this particular fellow hasn’t even acknowledged or felt that a spirit is actually watching him from within the very same room. Obviously a fake medium. This is an outrage. An insult to our existence. Instead, he dishonestly claims to feel that he is being contacted by some long lost soul who died in the house and yet isn’t actually present at all. He starts to ramble about how she is happy and proceeds to say nice things about her to his audience. In Jack’s own words – things would start to fly. Should an unlucky medium meet a spirit with Jack’s abilities I would be very worried if I was he or she. And you wonder why ouija boards are dangerous? Do not dabble in things that you do not understand.

Badger, this experience you have had is something I feel I cannot assist you with. Janet has also had an enquiry about this but not from yourself as far as I am aware. I would enquire as to the nature of the message. I cannot shed any light on your experience as the feeling of coldness, which is often associated with spirits and ghosts, is not a feeling that a human should experience in the right company. This is a common misconception and more often down to the environment and atmosphere rather than a spirit. I do however tread with caution here as there are some reasons why this can occur and the implications are not pleasant. Do not be concerned Badger as I am sure this is nothing to be worried about and you have not, as far as I am aware, experienced this before or you would have mentioned it previously. The one constructive piece of advice that I can offer is that you pay your tax bill and stop smoking.

Traceyc, deb1969, mad_mizz and everyone else – tut tut of course you will get to read the remaining memoirs. You must just grant me a little more time. Ah, the chicken or the egg situation. One had to come first. The memoirs will follow in due course.

Mad_mizz or should I say Anna Marie. You must investigate this further. It is important. You already know from my writings what you can do if you have a computer at home. Feel foolish as much as you like within the confines of your own home. No one will ever know. I would exercise a warning under the “Do not try this at home” label if anyone is trying it just for the sake of it as your loved ones or partner may question your sanity. Unless you are really convinced that you have a presence around you it is not worth the effort. If you are sure then it should be encouraged. I would also question your sanity if you are just trying it out for the sake of it and hoping that you will be contacted. If the spirit cannot inter react with you there will be no contact. You have to have this sixth sense. It is a rare occurence in humans.

Many of you will be thinking about your own abilities. The fact of the matter is that you will probably have an inkling already. There are a few examples of how you or others can tell if you are suited. You cannot use these examples as absolute proof and you should not convince yourself that you have “the gift” just because all or one of them apply to you. If all of them apply to you then I would suggest that you experiment further. If only one or two of them apply then it is likely you may be using a part of your being that others are not. The examples given here are not exhaustive and I refrain from passing on more detailed indications of a person’s ability that would class them as “gifted” by the after life.

Consistently, for both close friends and relatives, but more importantly with regard to strangers - Knowing what someone is about to say before they say it.

You are sitting in a chair watching the television and you know that someone is about to knock on the door or ring the bell before they do.

You think about the phone ringing and then suddenly it rings.

Whenever someone is watching you your senses have a habit of telling you. Be wary of this one because this is a common ability.

You regularly experience the feeling that places that you have never visited are familiar and that you have been there before. This is very important and there is a reason behind this that I will not divulge at present.

Pat my dear you are fishing in un charted waters in your quest for more evidence. I have never given the exact location of our premises here in Oldbury. I would rather this was left alone.

Spanglo – Your parcel will arrive in the morning!. Even a spirit must retain his sense of humour. I think you all frightened press_officer away far more effectively than I could have done.

Frankie – of course we will not leave you out. Also, Pat is not the writer of my memoirs. She is the inspiration for my using this forum but not the writer.

Denise – Your comment and the fact you hug your daughter just that little bit more. If nothing else had been fruitful from this posting of my memoirs then that alone would provide the justification for my efforts.

Mooksta – You should not really contact people about such things. Sometimes it is unwelcome. I will however find out what Marguerites own personal view is on her details being given out when I next establish contact. She is far older than most of us and far wiser. The longer the time passes the less significance a spirit will place on their details being public knowledge.

I am sorry about my mischevious activities with the logo and the page. I will not be so childish again. Forgive me. The ITC details are certainly interesting. Please, once again I urge all of you to read this.

Thank you AlyssaMath and the rest of you. I see Badger you have been doing your homework well. Congratulations. I neither confirm or deny you findings.

Poor Janet I fear she will be busy tomorrow answering messages. Please try and contain your postings within this forum as it only over complicates things.

Mooksta – eany meany miny mo, which is it to be – The truth is out there.

Phenomenon – A most welcome contribution. More holes than a tea bag. I wish I could smell the aroma of the tea, I wish I could breathe and feel the sensation of the taste and the warmth in my mouth. After all these years I yearn for your everyday experiences even now. Are your publications on the internet Phenomenon. I am always interested in looking at new material.

Ekaterina – Can you please share more of this with people. This is of great interest to me and I am sure to others. I would like to hear more about your experiences. How do you know you live with spirits? Do you have any history of the house in which you live. You should share this with us. Please do not feel foolish in explaining your interactions and how they came about. You have no idea how important this is if what you are saying is true, and I do not doubt your intentions.

Ebjeebe – An open mind and an enquiring one is a very powerful tool. An open mind is not confirmation of believing or denying the existence of ghosts or spirits or the concept of a super natural world. Moreover, it is those with an open mind that I find most receptive and most able to comprehend the numorous options and possibilities behind our human and spiritual existence.

Beautifully put Mooksta. How would anyone know who is alive or dead online.
This is exactly how we can hide. I can enter a normal chat room unannounced and partake in the conversations of the living with the same ease as I enter the chat rooms frequented by the dead. If I wish to discuss something with a known spirit then I enter private chat. You have no idea how technology and the internet has mobilised the spirits in a way that would have been impossible only a few years back. Only now are humans coming to understand that it is not always in their best interests to conform with what we are conditioned to believe through our education system and peer pressure. Be individuals. Work things out for yourselves.

Phenomenon – Science does not dictate to us what happens, science never has and probably will never accept paranormal anomalies. As for what happens when we die…….who knows. Did you write this yourself? It is good. As for holes in my post I could refer to holes in a humans imagination or pre conceived ideas. For a moment, set aside 25 years of reading, writing and investigating as a human being, against over 70 years of living and experiencing life as both a spirit and a human and concentrate on how we might best can learn something from each other.

My dear admin I confess I owe you an apology. I will skip this section quickly and in shame and only comment that I fully support the recommendation that studying Shakespeare and the Bible is most certainly worthwhile to further your knowledge but a completely useless tool if you are using it in connection with this forum and as means to find out more about me. I feel I am interrupting your work admin. I do hope that your message has clarified the situation with regard to you receiving direct approaches.

Ghost – Of course I do not mind my friend. You are most welcome to share your experience. Please give my respects to the Council of Elders. I hope one day that I am privileged to meet them as you have. I would still like to learn how to use a voice.

Phenomenon – This is what I would really like to here more of. Are you willing to share your experiences with us. I can see that you have a genuine interest in these matters and if you have any interesting personal experiences regarding Stonehenge I would like to hear them. What is the oldest spirit or ghost that you have ever come across?. This interests me greatly. There are reasons why I ask.

First Stonehenge and then Glastonbury, followed by Reiki. Keep up your Reiki Pat. This has caught my attention. Reiki, if practised with a genuine love and understanding is a powerful tool in the right hands. Reiki is a spiritual growth tool. It can open up all areas of your life. It is there to help you energise your creativity and to help you break down the blocks to both giving and receiving. Pat, you should be aware, that if you have a tendency to be receptive towards spirits, then your Reiki is known to have an influence over your success in making contact. This much we know.

Welcome lakey and everyone else that has just joined.

A fan club Pat. Oh please my dear I could not cope with that. I promise you it wasn’t me that sent the fax by the way. Hello Anna and Frankie. Anna I am sorry to hear about your car. Badger, once again you sail close to the wind of truth. Who says there are not such chat rooms and sites. I am already working on another site in the USA.

I see we have more newcomers joining. My responsibility grows. Welcome to you all. DrummerRich – Welcome home. Bam bam I was merely answering a question with a question. What clothes? I was wearing a Ben Sherman shirt which were all the rage those days, a Levi jacket, jeans and Dr Martin boots. I will refrain from providing information on my under garments. I do not understand the relevance of the questions or your comments on holidays in Spain or the USA, night shift and pets. I agree with you in that the library is an excellent choice for a good story. I had no pets.

I think I would like to read this book called ‘The Lovely Bones’. Is it available on the internet or in e book format? RaRa I hope it is a genuine and honest club. We need more of those. Your web site would indicate that you are genuine and ethical in your pursuit if not a little humorous with the ghost icons but I understand that this is designed for humans rather than spirits.

Another believer. Chris you even put your name to your statement. If the numbers of believers ever exceeds the doubters we shall be under scrutiny by National Government. What a frightening thought. Scepticism is our best protection. Very wise words Chris. Cherish every moment. Live for today and not tomorrow and do not dwell on the past. Unless of course you are helping one of us.

Wood144. Both aliens and ghosts are beyond belief for some humans. If you can bring yourself to believe in aliens you are half way on your journey to believing in the supernatural. I have to agree with Ekaterina. But then I would.
You have captured my attention there again Ekaterina. Can you tell us more about Mary.

Lobelia thank you for that. I have dabbled with paranormal/supernatural chat rooms and unfortunately without success. Those that frequent these rooms are often passionately interested in the subject and yet blinkered as to what is going on around them. Don’t misunderstand me. There are probably many genuine people but sorting out the wheat from the chaff is much harder than in ordinary contact situations where the results of our activities have been far more spectacular.

Beechwood/lorraine – Patience is a virtue. We will get there in the end. It has taken me over 30 years to wait for all this to be set in print. Surely you can bring yourself to wait for a week. Thank you Badger and G.

Hello Janet, I understand what you are saying about walls and passing through them. I am not saying that other spirits cannot do this however most spirits are trapped in a particular area or location. The idea of a ghost or spirit going walkabout or leaping on a bus or train to go on holiday or actually even venturing far from the place in which he or she were attached to is just not something that happens.

Actually quite the reverse happens with the desire to learn. I dealt with this in an earlier episode. Learning and the desire for self improvement is not something that is confined to the living. Most spirits have only found communication recently. By that I mean over the last 10 or 15 years. Our knowledge base is growing at an phenomenal rate. And finally to lakey. Computers have indeed been our method of communication for some time. The article on ITC is much more informative than the film Ghost and relates to dates and events prior to the release of the film. There is much more factual information on the internet than you will find in any film Sarah.

As usual I am honoured by your interest and your perseverance. I hope to visit you all again very soon.

I will work on my memoirs this night. I have plenty to do. I will be back. Soon. I post this earlier tonight as I have no wish to keep people waiting for a posting.

Bless all of you.

Good morning Michael. TY for the welcome icon_biggrin.gif Although it was a long time ago, I remember that the house we lived in was located in a place called Cheswick Green which is in Solihul I think, was only there until age 4 so can't remember much details
