How Michael was murdered and GCHQ
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.
Thank you for all your enquiries and questions. I don't know where to
begin. When I left off I was going to tell you all about Jack's
experience and his witness account of my death. I will still do this of
course but first I will attempt to answer your questions.
Guest - I do have that term. You should not sit here most of the day
waiting for a reply. I am seldom able to reply in the daytime and in any
event this is such a waste of your time.
Wattie - Purgatory? You have an interest in the supernatural. Why
should we not have an interest in the living? In your modern world you
should be more aware of equal opportunities.
Thank you Anna and Emma. Jack does have some unresolved issues as
indeed most of us in the spirit world do. A human trait carried forward
into the afterlife maybe? Everyone talks about moving on but moving on
to where? Whilst your fear of the unknown and what happens after your
death may be something that you think about, the same logic applies to
each and every presence in the after life. At least the contacts that I
have made. I have no way of communicating with heaven or hell if indeed
it exists.
Emma - You are correct in your assumption that I will not answer your
question. I fear things are getting a little too close for comfort
already. To our Guest and Steve I maintain my silence on my location.
I do not know about E.V.P but I have an interesting account to share
with you about using voice. More on this follows but as far as we have
been able to establish it is not possible to record our voices. We have
no voice to record. Converting text into a voice program is possible
though as you will see by the example provided . You asked if I was at
work. The answer is well, sort of. If you read my previous posts you
will see why I tend not to respond during the day.
Pat is female and this is very easy to find out without asking any
questions. The answer is hidden in these very same forums. And to Smeg,
if I knew everything would I even be here? If you seek proof would it
convince you if I phoned all of you at exactly 8pm tonight and gave you
a ghostly wailing sound as proof of my existence? I am sure it would.
However, I am incapable of such feats. If I knew everything I would be a
God. A God I am not. You may have been watching too many movies.
There is much talk of moving on. Perhaps this is a human urge or an
attempt to find security or a reason for everything that happens. Look
how my existence has changed. I might actually have more chance of
coming into contact with deceased loved ones by trying to find them
online. Has anyone considered this. Jack spends much of his time
searching. He may end up finding what he is looking for without moving
on anywhere. Like me, he has no sense of urgency or ambition to move on.
Why should we move on.
Emily - Your brain is most definitely working overtime. I have read
some of Pat's postings. I have read all the postings on this message
board. It clearly shows that she is female. The only other explanation
would be that Pat is male and gay. I am positive that she does not fall
under this category.
Badger - Thank you for your reply. The hard evidence does lie under
rather a large amount of concrete. I have no wish to provide any hard
evidence. Not until the final chapter of my investigations and provision
of proof of my murder is complete at least. Even then, this will be
handed over to the relevant authorities to carry out the necessary
actions. Why would I wish to provide proof to everyone? It would be easy
to give you Janet's name, her address and telephone number or her email,
but she does not wish this. How would you like it? She could get callers
and investigators and people accusing her of fabricating a story. She
might even lose her job. She could of course request that I type a
message while a hoard of onlookers stare in amazement at the computer
screen. She could end up becoming the next Uri Geller of computers and
obtain instant fame. It is not in her nature. She does not wish this.
What of me. People arriving with sophisticated electrical devices and
ghost watchers disturbing my existence. I would feel like a monkey in a
cage. I am not an exhibit at a zoo.
Guest - You have raised a very important issue. This could indeed be
a way of marketing a new product. Perhaps it is. But it is free. It
costs you nothing and I have nothing to gain. This could of course all
be just a story. It might already exist on the internet and I could be
just cutting and pasting the details from an existing book. However, if
the TV or newspapers get hold of this then I can confirm that my
writings will cease on this message board and I will devote my
attentions to more important matters than the provision of your
entertainment, if that is what this means to you.
Perhaps I am not Michael Pennington. Perhaps there is no Michael
Pennington, a spirit from Oldbury. I could have taken any name. I could
be Thomas Smith from Dudley. Perhaps this is a prank. I worry that some
of you are a little concerned about this. To devote such time to
discovering my whereabouts and the tracking down of information and
records is not the purpose for which my memoirs are written. This is
folly. It is irrelevant. It is certainly of no consequence to me and is
not in my best interests for you to do so. I have no wish for you to do
this or to cause any disruption in our current environment.
Please do not be concerned. There are many good writings that fall
under fiction and non fiction that make use of the dead. There are many
stories that are concerned with ghosts and spirits and that name them
with dates, buildings and information that perhaps should not be
revealed. How would the dead react to this if they were alive and could
speak for themselves.
If it suits you, treat this as just a story. Put your mind at rest
and read it for personal enjoyment or as a means by which to explore
more constructive investigation of the supernatural. As I mentioned at
the start, I have nothing to gain and nothing to lose by writing this. I
do this out of the goodness of my spirit and with all goodwill and the
best of intentions. If it excites your mind, questions your theories,
encourages you to search and enquire, and most of all, if it pleases
you, I will continue. Only on that basis will I devote my efforts to
your enquiring minds. If any of you are feeling frightened or
intimidated by my writings I should stop. I have no wish to cause harm.
I fully understand the scepticism with regard to my predicament. Let
me first dispel a few myths. A spirit or ghost is not faultless in any
accounting or recording of events or documentation although it is very
unlikely that you will find any discrepancies in my records as my memory
is excellent. I do not have to clutter my thoughts with worrying about a
career, family or the payment of bills and such like. Therefore it is
much easier for me to concentrate on issues that are of relevant to my
existence.
I can make spelling mistakes and sometimes, though rarely, mix up
dates. After all, I think in the same way that you think. I have no idea
how I think. I have yet to find anyone, living or dead, who can explain
how or why we are even able to function. A spirit can be misguided as in
the case of poltergeists. You need to be aware that the supernatural has
its limitations too.
Before I continue with Jack's account, I feel I should point out that
whilst I find your questions interesting and admire your tenacity in
trying to establish the facts, I am somewhat puzzled as to why no one
has brought up the issue of GCHQ and MI5. I made reference to this
earlier. How would a mere spirit know of such things. What I am about to
reveal has far wider implications and more things for you to consider
than my own situation which is insignificant in comparison. It may
surprise you to learn that spirits have a much wider access to
information than is available to most humans.
Consider how I have found this method of communication. Now think
about the number of companies and government departments that have
access to much more powerful technology. Of the many people that I am in
contact with, perhaps two of the most interesting are spiritual
inhabitants of the enormous and sprawling government organisation called
GCHQ, based in Cheltenham. Another contact is in the building at MI5 in
London. People die in these buildings too you know. A heart attack at
work, a construction worker from an existing or previous building on the
same site. It happens.
Many of you will find this very far fetched indeed but it is really
no different to my own situation. These spirits however have access to
some really useful information that we are able to utilise and pass
around to others in our community. It is useful when we need to find out
about a particular paranormal case or in tracing someone or
understanding what the government view is on our strange form of
existence.
I am no longer providing real names of my contacts as I fear that
this is a breach of confidence and as mentioned earlier, it is up to
each individual spirit to decide on what level of publicity they accept.
After all, they are perfectly capable of making themselves known to
selected persons or human contacts of their own, and indeed do so. Janet
is not alone in this respect.
Let us look at a little of what is known about GCHQ. If I breach
National Security here, and I have no wish to do so, then I apologise,
although I hardly think that the information I am providing is a
national threat. In any event, sue me. That would be interesting.
In the archives of GCHQ and many other secretive government
organisations and the military, there are countless files and dossiers
on the paranormal. Many of these relate to UFO sightings but there are
also many unexplained, and what you would term, ghostly happenings. If
several people were to sight a ghost, or over a period of time a number
of people reported seeing the same ghostly phenomena, then it attracts
the attention of the authorities. A police officer or member of the
armed forces might be asked to log an account and keep quiet about
revealing any information to members of the general public. The
government will tell you that this is to avoid spreading panic among the
population. The truth of the matter is, that all this information is
collated and stored. Much of the information sent in from around the
country is easily explained. Sightings of UFO and strange noises and
transmissions are often near military establishments that are testing
new technologies. Often at night. Unsuspecting members of the general
public are regularly convinced that they have seen a UFO, an alien, or a
ghost. This we must accept.
Once this information reaches GCHQ it is categorised and labelled
according to its importance. My friendly spirit at GCHQ communicates via
the organisations main frame computer. This is how we communicate. He
was a Professor and worked there a number of years before his untimely
death. He sees everything. He has access to everything. There are no
secrets for him. He has to wait until a human reads or writes a report
but by looking over someone's shoulder all the time he has no problem in
gleaning the information. Government's would be paranoid about this if
they took it seriously. Be thankful that spirits have no concerns with
money or personal gain or the results could have far wider implications
for national security.
The only time I would ever be concerned for the human race being in
danger from the supernatural, would be in the event that an evil spirit
is present at a nuclear establishment, and finds a way of setting off
the countries nuclear devices. After all, he would have access to
everything. To put your minds at rest, this is very unlikely to happen
due to the fact that without computers and humans there would be no
communication between our kind. Not even an evil spirit would wish to
terminate their only means of communication and wander around in a
wasteland for eternity. There is also doubt as to whether a spirit could
actually instigate the arming, the codes, and the physical side of
starting a nuclear strike.
There is an outstanding amount of information available that can be
accessed. It is in most government's interest to keep this information
secret. The NSA in the United States and other U.S. departments have
enormous resources and data on the subject.
For those that are interested in more exploration on this subject
there is an excellent site at :
www.meta-religion.com
Take a look at the paranormal section too. This will give you some
indication on how to establish whether what you see is the result of a
spirit or ghost or just electrical disturbances or sound waves. There, I
have bored you enough. The point I wish to get across is that we do have
extraordinary access to information.
There is one more thing that you should know. Ghosts, spirits, a
presence or whatever you wish to call us, and I like the fact that you
are kind enough to call me Michael and not ghost or spirit, are much
more useful than you may think. How many times have you read in the
newspaper about an anonymous caller providing information to the police
that has resulted in the conviction or solution of a crime? It happens a
lot doesn't it. Many of these are based on the actions of humans but
some are not.
There is a recent instance in Birmingham where a spirit witnessed a
violent mugging. No information was available to the police. That is
until our friend provided the description and car registration number of
the culprit to the police. Jack, Janet and I were absolutely amazed at
the ingenious method that he used to report the crime. This particular
spirit has no access to any receptive human contact but is able to
operate a computer. He is not known to those in the building in which he
is trapped. He has no wish to be known to the living.
The secretary at this company uses a voice program where text is
turned into voice. The office set up uses wireless equipment although I
do know that this is not essential for communication as other spirits
are able to access non wireless systems and micro wave as a means of
communication. In my case the laptop only works with wirelesss switched
on, although the connection is broadband. A technical issue I am sure. I
am not a technician.
Instead of communication by normal text he opened up her voice
program and typed in the following message before converting it to voice
and leaving the open program for her to find. Imagine her shock and what
she must have thought when she listened to her message.
Dear Pauline,
Good morning. I do not wish to alarm you by the fact that you are
arriving at your computer to find that it has been tampered with, or
rather, used by someone while you have been away but I have some very
important information for you.
The fact that someone has been in your office and witnessed a crime
should not be a reason for concern as I have no wish to steal or access
your premises for any personal motives. Let us just say that I was
passing by.
Last night a car parked on the pavement outside your office and one
of the occupants, a white youth, around 5' 6", black medium length hair
and with a goatee beard, wearing jeans, adidas trainers and a bobble
hat, walked about 50 yards down the adjoining side street to the
alleyway by the Pub that you can see from your managers office. He was
also wearing a distinctive orange and black anorak. He waited there for
about five minutes. A bald gentleman, rather portly and carrying a
briefcase was walking towards him. As the person drew level the youth,
without warning struck out at the gentleman and produced a knife. It was
a sickening scene and totally uncalled for. The victim handed over his
briefcase and what looked like a mobile phone and a wallet.
The youth then sprinted back up the road, around the corner, and
jumped into the waiting car which sped off immediately. The car was a
black Metro. The registration number was ( I omit this in this report
for obvious reasons although it was given ).
Your first action should be to report this to your manager and then
ring the police. After all, your office has also been entered so you
must report this crime. If you believe that this is not a truthful
account of what happened then you should satisfy your curiosity and
still ring the police to ask them if anyone was mugged here last night.
Thank you for your attention.
You can imagine the reaction on the police officers face when he
finally called round to view the evidence. Our friend gives a hilarious
account of finger print taking of the computer and inspections by the
police to find out how the information was given. Misguided, the manager
of the office still thinks to this day that someone hacked into the
computer system in order to leave the message. Hardly unreasonable since
the buildings internal CCTV recorded no intruders.
Suffice to say that the police did apprehend the villains and justice
was served. You never really know who is watching do you. Does that
worry you? I hope not. We mean you no ill. There are many instances like
this. I will tell you next time of our very own experience when Jack and
I came face to face with a real live burglar. The advantage of being a
spirit is the absence of fear of injury. I cannot say the same for the
burglar.
I still have not managed to tell you about the account of Jack in the
witnessing of my death and the burglary that led to my discovery that I
could manipulate certain electrical items. I am more conscious of time
these days. There never seems to be enough time and I have much more
time on my hands than any of you. Oh dear, more questions. Too many
questions. I will call back soon, in between my research and my
chatterings. Bless all of you, sceptic, believer, human or spirit.
Hello again my friends. I am sorry that I am late. Guest G is the
culprit. All his questions on GCHQ. I mean how do I know. I never asked
the Professor things like that. Anyway. I have just asked him after
trying to raise him for several hours on ICQ. I don't think he finds it
very amusing though taking into consideration his tone. However, I hope
this makes sense to our enquirer seeking proof. This is the exact reply
from the Professor. He has looked at the message board.
Hi Michael. I'm not sure about all this. Too much attention if you
ask me. Listen to Jack and remember that guy Simon who messed about with
the living. Your asking me stuff that is absolute horseshit. Do they
seriously think that someone like you on a laptop can reach them and
someone like me surrounded by the worlds most sophisticated
communication equipment and devices would be stuck for getting out a
message. Get real dude.
And what's all this rubbish about security codes Michael. Do you mean
the alert status such as black, amber, green or red for the daily state
of security alert at the installation which is amber right now if he
really wants to know or are we talking about the words given for
security documents such as RESTRICTED, CONFIDENTIAL, SECRET, TOP SECRET,
V.R.K and green and red label despatches for UK eyes only? Don't
understand what info you want here. Don't even understand why your
bothering.
Tell the geezer that he needs to tell you what type of lowest level
security person he is on about. Window cleaners for example get a V
pass. They are escorted around and can't go in most areas without any
warning. Everyone has to wear their pass at all times. Before service
peeps like window cleaners go in any of the rooms the staff lock
everything away so it cant be seen and then take it out again when they
gone. Contractors like aerial riggers or the boffins at Smiths
Industries or somewhere like that get temporary passes but with their
photos on. Yanks come here. Canadians come here. They get different
passes. The place is huge Michael. Security is tight. You cant just
wander around like your going for a walk in the friggin park. Each
department is just as secret as the next and they even hide stuff from
each other. All on what they call a need to know basis. You got H
Division, E Division, S Division Z Division this and Q Division that.
Some of the brightest brains in Britain work here mate. Some of em are
nuts too. Funny farm they calls it round here.
Tell whoever is asking that I aint interested. Personally I would
have asked for something more in the way of proof. How about the
Directors credit card number and his home address and phone or the
latest scandal brewing up that aint out in the news yet. Get a grip
Michael. Don't piss me off with this shit. Got to rush. Are you joining
us later in the usual room?
Oh dear. Onwards and forwards. Thank you for your kind offer admin. I
will certainly consider this. Janet will probably get back to you
tomorrow. I am sure she will answer your questions. There are so many
messages now it is difficult keeping track of it all. I particularly
would like to thank those that have made such nice compliments to
creative writing and my literary skills. I wish this were the case. Had
I been imaginative and creative I would not have worked in the textile
industry. It is very easy to document something and record it. It is
much harder to actually create something.
I will try hard to answer all your questions but it is becoming quite
a lengthy task. I will leave questions where the answer is previously
documented so if you do not get an answer then please re read the text.
It will save us all a lot of time.
Claire. I send messages when I can. There are times when I will send
during the day if the environment lends itself to being able to without
risk. There are times when I will send them at 3 am in the morning.
There is no specific rule. It's just that I have to act with extreme
caution during the daylight hours. Janet covers for me of course and is
used to me using the pc while she is at the desk and doing something
else.
Deb - purely because I am not sure about the after life myself. I can
only explain this existence. If I find my parents and move on then what
about my ex wife and daughter? Other points you raised I have answered
previously.
Thank you beachwood/lorraine you have not frightened me away although
I do admit to a little uncertainty as I am facing mounting criticism
from other spirits who are advising me against this altogether. Sincere
apologies wattie I missed your purgatory humour. Data overload and too
much quick scanning of the posts I think. What a cruel joke about
Birmingham Guest. Never mind. You are forgiven. Never mind fox mulder.
The truth is out there. Seek and though shalt find. Final thanks to
everyone else I may have missed and bluelotus for those kind words.
Finally before we can continue, I enjoyed the entry of the guest, a
fellow ghost by all accounts. It is nice to see such good humour. Now
that's creative skills. Well done my friend. Most amusing. I hope you
come back and visit. Please leave a name next time. There are too many
called Guest.
Let us return to Jack's account of my death. I should not deviate so
much from the small part of my memoirs that I am revealing to you.
This is written as Jack explained it to me. It is in my own words and
based on his observation of what happened.
Jack - I would watch from every available window of the property in
which I was trapped. I spent years with nothing else to do other than
watch the world go by my windows. Time is a valuable commodity when you
are alive and a worthless and weary measure of misery when you are alone
and without companionship. I would miss nothing and observe every tiny
detail. An old man taking a stroll or a couple walking outside would be
the sole interest of my attention during those dark times. I have
observed the changing fashions and trends of hairstyles and clothes and
the wonders of new technology even within the limitations of my
confinement. You cannot begin to imagine the torment and the
timelessness of such a way of existence.
I have only ever seen one murder. That was Michael's. I have seen
pretty much everything else. The violent and the playful youths using
this quiet backwater as a playground for vandalism. ( I even ducked once
when they threw a brick through one of my windows. It was the highlight
of my day and a great sense of amusement to myself that I had actually
tried to avoid the object ) , the graffiti artists, the boats and barges
passing along the waterway, the lovers at night and the day to day
happenings of people going about their ordinary lives.
This one day back in 1971 is not something that I shall ever forget.
It was a beautiful day and a much welcome break from the previous dreary
weather of which we are so accustomed. Let me first explain the layout
of our premises. Please do not take this as a way of finding our
location because there have been many changes to the buildings since.
The old boat yard and the building in which I used to be in are side
by side and share a joining wall. A tow path or walk way lies to the
back of the buildings and there used to be a gravel road to the front.
The building I was in had an archway and a courtyard which backed on to
the canal and the tow path. It was self enclosed with no gate or
security to stop entry from the frontage. People working nearby used the
premises for parking. The building was vacant for most of the time until
about six years ago. The courtyard would contain about six vehicles
which could park quite comfortably within its confines. Part of the
building, three floors in height, faces right up to the canal tow path.
I used to be able to actually watch people passing right by me and see
everything that happened for a considerable distance in either
direction.
This one particular day a white escort van with company markings
parked in the car park. There was only one other vehicle present. I had
seen the owner on many occasions. I think he worked near here. He is not
involved in what happened. The two occupants of the vehicle got out and
stood talking by their vehicle. From my vantage point I could not
understand what they were saying. They seemed to be arguing about money.
I could catch the odd word and I had become very good at lip reading
over the years, but they wouldn't stay still and were not facing me for
most of the time. I saw one of them light up a cigarette.
I have to confess that I did not like the look of them. They were
dishevelled and looked like they had been working on a building site. It
was obvious that this was their trade due to the rusty and battered
nature of the van with its company markings clear for all to see.
The rear of the courtyard had access to the waterfront by a single
wooden gate, long gone and rotted away it has since been completely re
landscaped and changed along with all the other improvements that have
been made. I emphasise this as I do not wish to encourage people to take
a walk along the canal looking for a wooden gate and a building with a
courtyard. There was never a lock on the gate and access to the tow path
was easy.
The two men were acting suspiciously from the start. They had walked
over to the gate and were peering through the cracks in the woodwork.
After a time they opened the gate and loitered in the doorway looking
out towards the canal, talking and smoking.
I decided to get closer and visit my best vantage point by the canal
tow path. From there I would be able to see them more clearly as the
windows gave an excellent view of the canal and the courtyard. I was
sure that this pair were up to no good. I fully understood of course
that if they did do anything there was nothing that I could do from
within the boundries of my prison.
I noticed a man walking towards the building along the tow path.
Around his late 30's or early forties, he walked briskly and seemingly
without a care in the world. I had no idea that I was about to
experience a gruesome murder. The two men had noticed his approach and
had started mumbling and whispering to each other. They moved back
towards the courtyard leaving the gate open. I saw one of them pull out
a sharp instrument which looked like a hunting knife.
As the man, which I now know to be Michael passed the open doorway,
the two rogues rushed out of the gate and grabbed him from behind. One
of them had him by the neck and the other plunged the instrument deep
into where his kidneys would have been. It all happened so quickly and I
was not prepared for it. I struggled for the best vantage point and saw
the man fall to the ground. The two attackers kicked and punched the man
while he was on the ground and rummaged through his clothing for
valuables. I saw them retrieve a wallet and they even took his watch. I
watched with horror. These things are horrific even if you are not alive
yourself.
I could not believe that something like this would happen in broad
daylight. Such a bold and unprovoked attack. Was this premeditated or
something that happened on the spur of the moment. It had certainly
looked as if they were planning something from the moment that they
arrived. They were obviously desperate for money. I waited to see what
would happen. I heard the following conversation quite clearly as I was
now up close and observing their every move from the broken window.
" Shit Clive I think you've killed the bastard you idiot" the older
man said.
To which the second man, Clive, without a shred of remorse replied,
"Quick, chuck him in the canal before someone sees us".
Don't be bloody stupid, he'll float, look, throw him down here
there's something under here. Shove him down that opening," he said.
I could not quite see where the hole or entrance to the building was.
All I knew was that some poor unfortunate soul was now lying badly
injured or dead in the building next door. As the two men turned to go
the man called Clive halted.
" Where's my necklace. Where the hell is my bloody necklace. It's
gone. I felt it tugged when we jumped him but that was before we chucked
him in there. Quick, find it. It's got my name on it."
The two men searched the tow path, they were agitated and in a panic.
It is obvious they wanted to get away from the scene as soon as
possible.
"It must have fallen in the canal. Forget it, lets get out of here.
No one will find him anyway, look someone's on the other side of the
bank walking, come on, move it"
The two murderers left the scene. They did not run, they regained
their composure and walked at an even pace to the gate, back to the
courtyard and got in their van and drove away.
Thankfully, with nothing else to do day after day, the details of the
van, its colour, its signage, even the telephone number and number
plate, was ingrained upon my memory for ever. The memory is an amazing
thing when you have nothing else to do but think about the same thing,
over and over again. It is not possible to forget. It was also like a
mission to retain the knowledge in the hope that some day there would be
a way of communicating this knowledge to someone else. Thankfully this
day has arrived.
The information that Jack has provided has given us both a sense of
achievement. It will not be long before Janet presents the full details
of our evidence to the relevant authorities. Contact has already been
made. We just wish to find out a little more about what may happen if my
body is exhumed. We are in the final stages of our investigations and
there is so much more to do and learn before any drastic measures are
taken.
Visitor in the night
Enough of this, lets tell you about the night we had a burglar. We
seldom get such wonderful entertainment and its never live action like
this was. Janet had left us about 4 hours prior to our unwelcome
visitor. We hate it when she leaves. We both look forward to her
arriving in the morning. She misses us too you know. Janet even visits
us at weekends. After all, she is entrusted with the keys and has access
whenever she wishes. The alarm records each individuals entry and each
member of staff has a different pass code. Her boss, Malcolm, he thinks
that she is just using the office to surf the internet as she only has a
modem connection at home. Nothing was different to any other night.
Anyway, this is hardly relevant.
Both Jack and I were sat at the lap top when we heard scuffling and
strange noises by the main doors of the office. We went to investigate.
Imagine our surprise when we saw a young man smearing a substance on the
window and covering it with brown paper. I think we both guessed what
was coming next. Quick as a flash he hits the window with a hammer and
in no time he has his gained access. The very cheek of it.
The alarm let out its timer entry 30 second warning. This should be
good I remember thinking. Lets see what he does now. Totally calm, and
without doubt an expert, our visitor proceeds to mercilessly smash the
alarm unit to bits. Why was it not sounding outside? As he snipped the
cables of the main control unit we could hear a muffled alarm going off
outside but it was not very loud at all. We found out later that the
alarm siren had been packed full of quick drying foam sealant of the
kind that they use in cavity walls and for filling big gaps. It was
certainly effective.
It suddenly dawned on me that we had to do something and I was thrown
into a complete sense of panic when I realised that the laptop was about
to end up in this characters swag bag. I ran down the corridor back
towards where we had been sat. Just quite what I was going to do I had
no idea. Type a warning at him? Hmmm not quite an effective means of
deterrent. Even though I am not of the living I was quite surprised at
my level of energy. It was almost like an adrenalin rush only more of an
electrical charge. Was this because I had bounced off Jack about four
times in our haste to return to the laptop or because the situation
somehow gave me a heightened sense of awareness. More importantly, just
what would we do now. I need not have worried.
The intruder grinned as he saw the laptop but he made straight for
the managers office. I knew he wouldn't leave the laptop but it bought
me some time. As a human the very thought of turning to the keyboard to
start typing in the middle of an emergency must be quite amusing. For me
it was desperation I wanted to ask Jack what we should do and did he
have any ideas. I typed in earnest.
Michael: Quick what the hell are we going to do
Jack: This could be interesting
Michael : What do you mean interesting do something
Jack: You worry too much
Michael: I DON'T WANT TO LOSE THIS LAP………..
I never quite finished. Our intruder was back in the main office
having obviously rifled what he wanted from the drawers. He had already
filled up half a bag of goodies and was making straight for Janet's
desk. A feeling of despair came over me as I was convinced that we were
just about to lose the laptop. This is where things became fun.
I watched him approaching the desk and suddenly stop about 3 feet
from the where I was stood. His nonchalant and relaxed face suddenly
became a picture of abject horror. His eyes boggled and his jaw dropped.
I looked at the desk. The site of a stapler suspended in mid air
imitating the motions of a snake head and hovering from side to side and
facing him head on must have been terrifying. Good old Jack, my hero.
The guy was amazing. I was full of envy and pride at the same time.
The youth bolted down the corridor. A heavy paperweight rose
gracefully from the table, curved in an arch like a supersonic aircraft
and suddenly shot off with the speed of a bullet. It swiftly negotiated
the fleeing burglar and smashed with a terrific force against the wall
by the entrance door. The youth was petrified. He was literally wetting
himself and froze in fear. The paperweight, in two halves now rose from
the floor and hovered by the only exit from the building. The youth
turned and fled back into the main office and into the darkened room of
the company accountant. How I wished Janet could have left all the
lights on I would have been able to see things more clearly I thought.
This was exciting. The lights came on. Marvellous, Jack was a genius.
The youth was struggling to break the lock on the handle of the
window and make his exit. Pretty risky to jump from this height I
thought but at the same time I could see the desperate look of fear on
the persons face. Jack had obviously had difficulty balancing each half
of the paperweight and he was back on the attack with stapler now. Into
the room it went and hung menacingly about 3 feet from its victim. I
actually felt sorry for the poor unfortunate person that had been
subjected to this assault. However, this compassion was soon dismissed.
After all, he had not been invited. He was an unwelcome guest. The youth
had slumped to the ground and curled himself up in a defensive ball
against the wall, presumably for comfort and protection. Even when Jack
let the stapler settle on the floor he made no attempt to move or
escape. He remained as good as gold and sat in the room until the
morning.
When Janet arrived she was shocked to find that the offices had been
broken into. She was even more shocked to find our victim sat quietly in
the accountants office. Janet was not the first to speak. The youth
pleaded with her to call the police and keep the stapler away from him.
When we later explained all this to Janet she told us how proud she was
of us and how meeting us had changed her life. That was such a nice
thing to say although the credit is down to Jack.
While Janet phoned the police Jack steered the two halves of the
paperweight back to their orginal position. We knew someone would notice
it was broken but we also knew that it was no big deal to find a broken
paperweight. The most worrying aspect was how seriously the burglar
would treated with his description of what had happened. During all this
time the youth sat waiting and never attempted to make an escape. He was
anxious that the police arrive before he would move. He was taking no
chances. I could see Janet was enjoying the moment. Within easy
listening distance of the burglar she said, "Thank you boys and behave
yourself now stapler, the police are on their way". I made my way to the
laptop. Jack was already there. He had already left me a message.
Jack: Michael we should have more nights like this. That was fun.
Michael: Jack you are a hero. I feel so useless against your awesome
skills. What a performance. The speed of the paperweight was fantastic.
Did you see his face? Brilliant work. I never thought a stapler could be
so menacing and you must have been reading my mind the way you operated
the lights.
Jack: Thanks Michael but we were a team. I don't do lights. No idea
how you managed that. It wasn't me. Well done my friend.
What? Doesn't do lights? Surely not. I walked over to the room where
the youth was. I switched off the light. It was as simple as that. It
just switched off. He jumped nervously and called for Janet to please
call the police again because they were taking too long. I felt good. It
had been an eventful night.
The police arrived and the burglar looked so relieved. The police
were baffled. Comments were made that he looked as if he had seen a
ghost. He adamantly refused to tell the police what had happened. He
wanted the police to take him out of the building straight away. He kept
nervously checking on the innocent stapler which was now in its rightful
place on Janet's desk.
We seldom have nights like this. Oh what fun it was. I leave you with
this. I have to go. There is more to tell. I will be back tomorrow.
Michael
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 www.virtual-brum.co.uk and 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.
www.sacbee.com/
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.
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.
The Mission is complete
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.
A copy of my memoirs - E Book
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.
Calling the Spirits
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 hear 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 u nderstand 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.
