Bob unfortunately gets her brains from me which is not so good 🙁

Oh well, what will be will be and all that !!!

Hi all…OH you have been a busy lot this weekend haven’t you…

Right…I’m sorry I hit you with the Maurice story, I was reading it and was outraged at the way the author was condemming ” The Warrens”, It seems to me that they did, as you say, use cheap underhanded , below the belt shots at them.

Ed and Lorraine have done such a service to so many people who have been terrified by paranormal disturbances in their homes and , as you say, they were unassuming, kind and respectful people.

OK….I will admit that certain points were valid, but nothing that deserved the slanderous comments that were given.

There are so many famous cases where Ed and Lorraine Warren have used their skills and good judgement and had positive results with such good evidence of their gifts.

I apologise for the position i put you all in. i just wanted to share with you that Mr beattie and Co aren’t the only people about who will stop at nothing in order to get a thrill from being unnecessarily nasty

oooooooooooo btw pm 4 u on eg x

Hi All sorry folks this might be a scroll

@ Jason Wow brave man……. no…..not for me. I mean you never know it might just work!!! and i dont want to invite anything spooky into my house, thank you very much!!

But like you if it was televised then i would watch it lol in saying that they would have to nail down the channel first 😉 And thats not looking very hopeful atm
Si is on the case though, pushing Pick tv hard with his minions and his Harem in tow.
But Sky dont want MH ??? so i hope they are not just banging their heads against a wall! But there must be a reason for Si to be pestering Pick 😉 So ????……????? Anyway mate yes i would watch it ….. hope your ok x

@ Darren It does seem random? It also feels a bit desperate know what i mean kinda ooo how do we get MH back ???
“i know!, try a mass seance!”
When really, the show itself should be the selling point surely? Maybe its this new format ? maybe the networks,… like a lot of the old fans want the mediums parapsychologists and the historians back too?
And they are not convinced the new format would work ??? Lots of maybeeeees there but why not just concentrate on tweaking what they had like blindfolding the mediums and having the parapsychologist guide them. Using several mediums over the course of the series giving the most accurate medium the “Live” spot!
And so challenging the mediums making it as scientific as possible! Also just giving them a limited time slot after which they then sit in front of the monitors not mixing with the team who are obviously hostile to them.
I personally think that the historians and parapsychologists roles are fine as they are. So for me that aspect of the show does not need changing!
Anyway thats just my opinion there is some reason the networks are not committing to the show? Its not like MH does not have a following? Ok that was longer than i meant lol x

@ Debby oooo you!!! bugg*r thats a topic and a half jeeeez,…. btw that link got me too glad i’m not the only one lol 😉 And that room with the screaming, hmm nah i would have phoned the Police ….. poached those clips from the fb Access page

Right Maurice Therioiult interesting case i seen him on Jane G Exorcism ep i found it very upsetting and frightening and it ended so sadly.
The reviewers\authors of your post were, well, i did not like the tone of it considering the subject was quite traumatic, with an awfully sad outcome.
They took a lot of cheap shots, ok its their opinions but given they were just reviewing a book and not involved first hand it felt sarky and impartial so i had to try not to switch off as i was reading it.
They made some valid points but the way they made them ……….well i could not take them seriously as they were slating BIG names in the paranormal community who they claim can not back up their credentials when in reality they really!! can.
Like i said they made several good points asked great questions, they had a good argument to many aspects of this case and people involved. Its a pity they chose to take the route they did with them though they came over as hard boiled skeptics and that at times can come over as aggressive and as a result, voided their own claims.
Well to little old whatdoiknow me yikes lol 😉
Going back to what i touched on with Darren re Demonologists….. Fred for me… well i find him a little confusing? Where as with Ed (RIP) & Lorraine Warren, well there is nothing ambiguous about them they take the religious stance! To me a Black Magician come Demonolologist come Exorcist just doesnt make sense? One contradicts the other imo but then i have not come across a Demonologist like Fred before so again whatdoiknow?
Maybe the networks are a little unsure of Freds direction too? imo MH are putting too much on Fred ermm great to have an expert on MH but …. it is a stretch. Again i do not understand how one can be a Master of the Black Arts Magician & Demonologist Exorcist rolled into one it feels contradictory???
Sorry but i find that a little confusing????

Anyway what was i saying ……………….

“When Socrates spoke of his being possessed of a daemon, he was referring to his conscience.”

I like that! but cherry picked and imo does not fit 😉

Re the bleeding eyeballs yup i seen that ep of Weird or What too Nikki and on it i seen the medical profession at large who examined and tested that boy, baffled by it! 😉

Padre Pio is a very popular and well known saint….. again and again this reviewer shoots himself in the foot!!!
He\She can find a cure for bleeding eyes in two ticks from his bookshelf but in his compendium of saints cannot find Padre Pio ?

The Exorcism of MT did not work!!! and he met the same fate as his father before him although the attempted murder of his wife gladly did not succeed.

“There you go, guys. If you ever get accused of rape, claim that it wasn’t you, it was really a demon who looks just like you, and call Ed and Lorraine to testify on your behalf. Justice’ll triumph for sure.”

Wow erm what can i say about that sorry but that is so below the belt its disgusting!!!!

To me whether this was a genuine possession… and, after watching Jane G’s ep it, certainly was compelling,….. or a mental health issue it is not one to be dealt with the way that reviewer did imo.
Not pleasant”
Well i will shut up now enjoy your weekend Debby x

@ Nikki you are right The Warrens are notorious but from what i know about them ermmm,l i trust them! But they are ridiculed by many.
Yes thats what i got too the same old debate Mediums\Demonologists fake or true?
The Warrens are responsible investigators imo and have more experience of the paranormal than you can shake a stick at so ………that experience has to count for something! and they always come over as very sincere to me.

lol YEAH! that was a heavy weight topic Debby threw in there lmao 😀 Take that!!! bosh!!! on a saturday…. HA! no bother ……….. ermmm hehe yikes phew………and relax 🙂
Awww thats so nice they have worked hard this week and dealt with the stress of exams brilliantly well done indeed to the Nikki brood xxxx
Gawd i’m so glad i paid attention at the right times when i was at school the exams seemed to asked me things i remembered LOL but i do remember getting in a state at the thought of them!!!!
Good luck to Master Nick with the rest of his x and well done Mum & Dad 😉

MWAHAHAHAHA 😀 got yahhhh lol yes that utube clip made me giggle a bit after i composed myself 😉

Boooo i know its miserable here too cold wet and windy, how’s that for a trinity 😉

Awww i love Parrots poor lonely baby yes you shake your tail feather with him and have a boogie ……. very clever birds i am sure you will have lots of fun Nikki

Thank you i will get to EG at one point this has taken a wee whiley to do ooops but you have given me something nice to look forward to see you then x you too

Phew guys ok i will head over to fb to see if there is anything worth pasting 😉

Derek A
My wife Gwen does amuse me. When she wants to say something, she certainly knows how to do it. She apparently spied something on a web site earlier today and after having resorted to some words that I can only describe as Anglo Saxon, she posted the following on her Facebook page. Could I ask for a better champion?

From Gwen Acorah’s Fb page:
“Whilst trawling through bits and pieces I happen to have come across two incidents where people have claimed to have “launched Derek’s career” and make out that without them, Derek would have been nothing. Let me just point out – Derek was a professional psychic medium when I met him in 1984/5. He was working hard and was as dedicated to his work then as he is now. Life progressed and he became better known in the North West through the quality of his work – his dedication, endeavour and total commitment to his calling was recognised by all, as well as the accuracy of his readings. Word got around and he was invited onto local radio stations – he remained guesting with these stations for some years. Granada Breeze contacted Derek direct in 1997 and again, such was the popularity of Derek’s segment that he was invited back on a weekly and was eventually given a contract plus further programming – he remained with GB for almost five years and in the process garnered a global audience. Whilst I was promoting Derek’s first book I happened to send a press pack off to James Whale who also invited Derek on as a guest. James was so impressed with Derek that he too asked him to become a regular contributor to his Sunday night show.
So you see – no individual “launched” Derek’s career – not some little man in Leyland and certainly not another little man who professes to have put Derek on the road to success and who now refers to him as a “has been”. People do amuse me. When I think back over the years of Derek’s career I can recall many people who helped along the way by commissioning programmes or by inviting him on to their shows. None of these people have ever made these claims…. but then they’re not in the paranormal field. The only people who seem to make the claims are people who are desperately trying to clutch on to the paranormal and they do this by constantly making the silly claims that they do in a desire to “big” themselves up and remain on the periphery of the world of Derek Acorah. The popularity of Most Haunted certainly didn’t hinder Derek’s career and it did catapult him more into the public eye but he was already on television programming and had been so for almost five years before MH came along. He already had a tv audience so in fact he brought this to MH as well as his mediumistic gifts. Perhaps these self same people should sit back and reflect as to what Derek Acorah gave them!”

PS
Wow ermm good for you Mrs Derek………altogether now #stand by your man d d d #
New Karl Beattie interview to follow turn up the volume poor sound quality ok chaps be good W\wishes xxx
hope i made sense??
Oh i will try to find a fab link of one of the Warrens cases to post its an oldie but a goodie xxx

WHAT DO YOU THINK TO THIS ABOUT MAURICE THERIOIULT……

Satan’s Harvest

by

Michael Lasalandra & Mark Merenda

In these pages we meet Maurice “Frenchy” Theriault, possessed by the devil. “Absolutely terrifying! Absolutely true!” says the blurb on the front cover. “The shocking case of demonic possession from the reporters who first covered it in the Boston Herald.” The Herald is a member of the Murdoch family of newspapers, so you know that their journalistic standards will be of the very highest.

When our story opens, we see the chief of police of Warren, MA called to the farm of Maurice Theriault, a local tomato farmer, on an unknown domestic disturbance. When the chief plus a state trooper get there, they find “Frenchy” Theriault sitting in the kitchen, his shirt stained with blood, while he and his wife tell a weird tale of what had happened moments before the police arrived.

That kind of thing goes on all through this book—the weird stuff happens moments before the police arrive, or moments after the priest leaves, never while an outside observer is watching. But there is one weird thing that does happen while the cops are there: they see Frenchy bleeding from around his eyeballs. Do they throw him in the back of the cruiser and drive him straight to the nearest hospital? No! Because Frenchy and his wife (who unknown to the cops have already talked to a pair of “demonologists”) tell the cops that what’s going on is that Frenchy is possessed. The cops, Mensa candidates both, agree that Frenchy needs a priest. They leave.

Then we come to a long digression about Frenchy’s childhood. Nasty stuff, if true, as the boy is physically and sexually abused by his father. (You don’t have to be Siggy Freud to figure out that if half of this stuff is true that Frenchy has two strikes against him and a curve heading for the plate in the Mental Health All-Star game.) This segment ends up with ten straight pages (95-105 inclusive) of verbatim dialog between a couple of people involved in a murder/suicide—no survivors, no third person present, no tape recorder going in the room. During the course of this conversation, Frenchy’s dad (the murderer and suicide) tells Frenchy’s mom (the murder victim) that he, the dad, is possessed by Satan, and that Satan has control of Frenchy. If you can’t believe Old Nick himself….

Then we get a short history of Satanism in New England, starting with the events at Salem Village.

Contrary to popular myth, the cases of devil worship and witchcraft that have made Massachusetts infamous in the annals of the occult did not proceed from mass hysteria…. (pg.111)
Contrary to most serious histories as well.
Part of Lasalandra & Merenda’s trouble comes from quoting Malachi Martin as an authority. Martin, an ex-Jesuit, left the Order under rather a cloud when he had an affair with a lady who had neglected to first obtain a divorce, and has a heavy ax to grind. He is the author of Hostage to the Devil, reputed to be the “true stories of the exorcisms of five living Americans.” The book is heavily fictionalized and unverifiable.

We now meet Ed and Lorraine Warren of the New England School of Demonology (a school they operate out of their living room). Ed claims to be one of only seven “certified demonologists” in America. This begs the question of who certifies demonologists—the Federal Board of Demons? I suspect that what happened is that Ed kept going to ReligiCons, and asking long, detailed questions from the audience at panels. And after listening to his questions, the professors of religious studies and theologians would look at Ed Warren and say, “You know, you’re certifiable.” Just a guess on my part, of course….

Ed and Lorraine are the founders of the New England Society for Psychic Research. They are perhaps best known for their part in the “Amityville Horror” case, a case now generally considered to have been a hoax. At the seance held for the benefit of the press, Lorraine claimed to feel “negative forces.” (The Amityville Horror, Jay Anson, Bantam, 1978, pg 231). They also participated in the Brookfield, Connecticut case when Arne Johnson stabbed Alan Bono in 1979. Johnson pleaded Not Guilty by Reason of Demonic Possession, and Ed and Lorraine testified for the defense. The judge didn’t buy it, and Johnson was convicted of manslaughter.

We join Ed and Lorraine at one of their classes one fateful night….

Ed stepped back to the lectern. “But there’s another type of spirit we encounter in our work,” he said. “It’s the inhuman spirit. That’s an entity totally unworthy of life. And because it is so unworthy it has been prevented from taking on a physical existence. This is the demon. The name comes from his eternal hate of both man and God.” (page 154)
That theology is, well, bizarre, and Ed’s totally out to lunch on the derivation of the name demon. The word actually comes from the Greek ‘daemon,’ a supernatural being of a nature intermediate between gods and men, an inferior divinity, spirit, or genius, including souls or ghosts of deceased persons, especially deified heroes. When Socrates spoke of his being possessed of a daemon, he was referring to his conscience.

“The sounds you will hear in the background could not have been made by a human voice” he [Ed] said. He restarted the tape as the students strained to hear. In the background a voice seemed to be laughing. But the voice sounded as if it were coming from the bottom of a well. And it was deep, guttural, and had a sinister tone. The disturbing laugh was repeated several times. Then the tape abruptly stopped. “If that isn’t diabolical, I don’t know what is,” Ed said, turning off the machine. (page 158)
The possibility that Ed may not in fact know what’s diabolical apparently never crosses his mind, or the keen, incisive minds of Lasalandra & Merenda.

Just as an example of other sources for “diabolical” laughter, I have here the sound effects record Spook Stuff for Halloween (MP-TV Services, Inc., LP-12-119). Track 6 on Side 1 (“Ghostly Goblin Laughter”) consists of 16 seconds of a voice laughing. It sounds as if it is coming from the bottom of a well. It is deep, guttural, and has a sinister tone. The disturbing laugh is repeated several times.

Then the class is over and the students leave.

Ed stood by the door, attempting to accommodate the students as much as he could, but Lorraine was tugging at his jacket. “Remember, we’ve got a message on the machine, and I have the feeling it may be an important one,” she whispered into her husband’s ear. With her ESP abilities—proven in tests at UCLA—Lorraine was rarely wrong in a hunch or intuition. (page 159)
Nor was she wrong this time, though exactly when or by whom these “tests” were given or where the results were published is—surprise!—never specified.

The call was from Father Boyer, Frenchy’s parish priest, who, for reasons that elude me, decided to call these two folks rather than a doctor or his bishop when one of his parishioners came to him with bleeding eyeballs.

Ed, Lorraine, and Linda Fedele (a young lady who lectures police departments on occult crime in the New England area) head up to see Frenchy, after going to Mass and fortifying themselves for the trip with several medals dedicated to the Virgin around their necks. They chat with Frenchy, then retire to a restaurant to discuss the case.

Linda had been shocked by several of the things she had heard. But she couldn’t get over Maurice’s bleeding eyes. “Do you think there’s a medical explanation?” she asked.
Ed swallowed his last piece of apple pie, put down his fork, and leaned back in his chair. “If only there were,” he said. (Page 169)

Well, shucks. I’m not a doctor, but I’m always willing to help, so I walked over to my bookshelf and in just under five minutes found Thrombosis of the Sinuses in Anders’ The Practice of Medicine. Anders was published in 1897, so the treatments aren’t up to the minute, but he’s hell on wheels for symptoms. A couple more minutes found three more diseases, ranging from Intercranial Growths through Syphilis to Adult Onset Hydrocephalus draining through the nasal fossa that could all result in blood in the tears. There’re probably more. But what I like best about Thrombosis is the fact that the attacks are often accompanied by delirium, as were Frenchy’s.

We never find out if there’s an organic cause for the bloody tears, since Ed (convinced from the first that this is an attack by Satan Himself) never suggests that Frenchy see a medical doctor. It might not have been too difficult to get the bleeding to occur in front of a doctor, either, since Frenchy bleeds through his eyes pretty frequently. “It happens often enough, usually when he gets angry or upset,” says wife Nancy on page 168, making me wonder about a link to Frenchy’s blood pressure.

When the Boston archdiocese insists that a psychiatrist they assign talk to Frenchy, Ed whisks his client out of the room the instant it becomes clear that the shrink doesn’t consider possession to be the most likely cause of the troubles. The (unnamed) psychiatrist never does talk to Frenchy alone.

He [Ed] rose to leave and Maurice, seeing his friend get up, followed suit. Beet-red, Ed stormed out and grabbed Lorraine’s hand in front of the astonished eyes of Father Boyer. “Come on, honey, we’re leaving,” Ed said firmly. (page 184)
Ed’s eyes narrowed. “Listen here, you,” he said through clenched teeth [to the psychiatrist]. “I hope that when you’re by yourself something comes up and smashes you right in the mouth as has happened to this poor man you refuse to help….” (page 185)
Good thinking, Ed.
Ed had a sense that Maurice might have come under demonic possession, but that would have required an entry. Maybe there had been an incident that could provide an entry point. By delving back into Maurice’s past, Ed hit on a couple of matters that might explain what was happening. The first was the incident with Maurice and his father in the barn, back when Maurice was just a youngster. That unholy act, Ed figured, definitely could have opened the door for evil to enter. There was also the time when, as an overworked youngster in the fields, Maurice asked for the help of an invisible force—and seemed to get it. That could have provided another point of entry. And then there was the curse put on Maurice by old Willy Dumont. If the door was already open, that might have opened the door even wider, Ed thought. (page 168)
One might note that Ed doesn’t really seem to believe this himself, e.g. when he curses the psychiatrist. He also seems to say “damn” and “hell,” and use the name of the Lord his God in vain pretty frequently for someone who’s trying to avoid providing Satan with an entry point. Although Ed makes a big deal of being a super-deluxe Catholic, even carrying relics of several saints around with him (the only saint mentioned by name is “Padre Pio,” a saint that my copy of Coulson’s exhaustive The Saints (Imprimatur, Nihil Obstat) somehow fails to mention) his theology and demonology as stated in Satan’s Harvest are not orthodox Catholic, and possibly not even Christian. One of the more unorthodox ideas in Satan’s Harvest is that one can “open the door” for demonic possession by certain acts, and that possession follows a certain course. I’ll let Ed Warren speak for himself here:
Possession, he matter-of-factly explained, is the fourth stage of demonic activity. First comes encroachment, where a negative spirit is given an opening to a human being, either through voluntary means, such as a satanic ritual, or through involuntary means, such as a curse or the performance of an unholy act. The second stage is infestation, when the demons first haunt a person’s house. The third stage is oppression, when the spirits begin trying to take over the person living in the house. The final stage, after possession, is death. (page 152)
Amazing things continue to happen. One of the most amazing things is that some of the events are reported at all. For example, who was the witness who described the action in the following scene?
As he [the local chief of police] pulled out of the driveway Maurice peered out his living room window and watched the cruiser leave. His eyes began to tear blood and his mouth began to drool yellow phlegm. His face contorted into a hideous shape and he started breathing heavily. “Heh, heh, heh,” he muttered, more a growl than a laugh. “That bastard will never catch me. If he tries, I’ll kill him.” Then he passed out, falling to the floor with a thud. He stayed there, sleeping, until Nancy [his wife] came home about half an hour later with some groceries. “What happened honey?” she said, dropping her bags to run to his side. Maurice came out of his deep sleep slowly. He shook himself awake. “I dunno,” he said. “I must have passed out. I was just going to answer the door for the chief. He was supposed to spend the night here tonight.” (pages 193-194)
The chief of police never does wind up spending the night, but not to worry. Ed sends investigators to Frenchy’s place to observe events overnight. The lead “investigator” is Paul Walukiewicz, whose qualifications for investigating psychic (or any other) phenomena are that he “had taken a course with the Warrens at a local high school and had responded eagerly to their request for volunteer observers.” Lorraine selects him, saying that he has “the brightest aura in the class.” (page 242) That aura is the brightest thing about the poor guy.

The investigation at this stage looks like a sort of psychic pajama party, with a cast of a half-dozen young adults from the Warrens’ “School of Demonology” and their friends participating. Weird noises start… but when the tape is played the next morning, nothing but normal conversations can be heard! The observers are oppressed by demons, who manifest themselves through attacks that only a trained specialist could tell from the classic symptoms of hysteria. What more proof of the powers of darkness do you need?

I suppose that I should mention the one example of preternatural strength that Frenchy exhibits in front of witnesses, thus proving possession. He lifts a concrete statue of the Virgin Mary, which one of Ed’s investigators, a weightlifter who is “capable of bench-pressing one hundred fifty pounds” (page 236) is unable to budge. A photo of Frenchy lifting the statue is included. The volume of the statue, from the photo, appears to be on the order of two cubic feet. Frenchy, a farmer who has been performing hard physical labor all his life, has it in a dead hang, arms straight, legs braced. He’s got it about four inches off the ground.

The Archdiocese of Boston refuses to touch this “possession.” In the end, Ed has to get his own exorcist—”Bishop” Robert McKenna of the Dominican Order of Preachers. McKenna is one of those priests who broke with Rome in the early sixties rather than say the Mass in English. Expelled from the priesthood, he calls himself a bishop and continues on at Our Lady of the Rosary Chapel in Monroe, Connecticut. Needless to say, the exorcism is a complete success. Exorcisms always are, whether performed by priests or witchdoctors or anyone in between.

Later, the local cops arrest Frenchy for sexually abusing his stepdaughter over a period of years. The girl and her natural father want to press charges, but the DA doesn’t try it because he’s afraid of an insanity defense. Frenchy’s eyeballs only bleed occasionally, and eventually the attacks fade away. He moves to another town. He never does see a doctor.

According to Ed Warren, it was not Maurice who repeatedly had sexual relations with his stepdaughter, but an incubus, a diabolical spirit that had taken the image of Maurice. An incubus is a spirit of lust that sexually oppresses women. Maurice abhorred the very thought of his stepdaughter being molested, according to Ed. “If you knew him, you’d know he could never do anything like that,” Ed said. Maurice himself has no memory of any sexual encounters with the young girl. (page 290)
There you go, guys. If you ever get accused of rape, claim that it wasn’t you, it was really a demon who looks just like you, and call Ed and Lorraine to testify on your behalf. Justice’ll triumph for sure.
For that matter, Ed’s buddy Linda Fedele trains the cops in how to recognize occult crime. Maybe the police won’t even bother to book you if you explain what really happened. (“Honest, officer, it wasn’t me, it was an incubus! I abhor the thought of child abuse! Shucks, if it’d been me who molested that little girl I’d remember it, wouldn’t I?”)

There’s nothing in this account that couldn’t be adequately explained by a combination of mental and organic illness in Frenchy and hysteria in everyone else. There’s no need to introduce the devil at all, unless one believes that insanity is caused by demons. “We warn you that what is portrayed in these pages is more than just frightening. It will chill your blood as no other book ever has,” says the blurb on the back cover. Well, who ever believed cover blurbs? In this case, though, it’s nothing but the truth. The thought that Ed Warren is still on the streets chills me to the bone.

Claire…you bu**er, you made me jump out of my skin with that link !!!!!

Loved the other two, they both seemed real, the one in the hotel was well spooky, don’t think i would have gone in that room if i heard screaming !!!

I agree that a mass seance is such a bad idea….it seems to me that Yvette and Karl are starting to consider the afterlife as one big joke, i mean, seriously, demons, mass seances, you don’t dabble with that kind of thing , they should know better !!!!

morning nikki xxx claire xxx debby xxx vicki xxx @ claire i would be open to the idea seance just to see if anything does happen ,and as long its on the tv lol xxx

Si x

Hmmm? sounds like the channels a bit of a problem? ermmmm and thats a bit ermmm ….. well where do you go from there …. i thought the channel was in the bag ??
Sounds like we will have quite a wait

But Si is still telling the troops to watch MH repeats to boost ratings and to pester Pick TV’s fb page ooo naughty Si 😉
So it sounds like they want Pick? hmmm? that doesnt make sense to me?
Ok its freeview big tick for that, keeping the freeview promise. But PTV belongs to Sky? and Sky does not want MH?
Well good luck to them it sounds like they have hit a WALL.
Just as well they have Si eh ? i have just checked the PTV fb page and he is all over that lol well done mate thing is if what if Pick blocks MH fans ?

Well i have rambled enough hope your all fine good vibes to one an all, W\wishes xxx

Dr C says
I will never tire of hearing accounts of ghostly encounters…or of #ghost stories. Fiction vs Non-Fiction, which is stranger?
Along with a picture of a film called The Awakening
(think i found it on you tube link to follow)

Right i’m off for a coffee 😉 xxxxxxxxxx

Hi All

Look out there is a bolshy medium about 😀

@ Darren 🙂 oops sounds like your at the end of your rope with this fella 😉

Hmmmm well my Grans name was Annie ??? lmao re turn down the tv, ermm yup thats me.
Like Nikki says tell them you need a rest x

@ Debby our Darrens a sensitive sensitive lol …. but if you cant take it you cant take it! x

@ Nikki xx
Hencounters lololol oh dear what a bunch eh Captain makes me lol he gives the camera that dopey lab laugh look and they freeze frame it like he is Jack Bauer”24″ but he looks like he is laughing at them, to me.
I watched the Black Dahlia ep jeeeze ….. i think they are a bit mental that lot. They done a lot of very unintentionally funny stuff but that ripple in time “role play” murder in the bath ermmmm deary me that was not good. That poor woman was tortured and mutilated and they think its ok to play act that??? Made me a bit uncomfortable. But if that was where she was murdered it is a good location for a professional group 😉
Then they went under the ground to a old subway in Boston where the bodies of 900 British soldiers were found! So they are finding good locations but if i am not laughing at them i am concerned. Anyway that was just 1 ep. World renown psychic ??? never heard of her ………. the whole format seems a bit mad but i cant help humming Scoobydoobydoooo when i see them 😀
Oh and that VOICE OVER man hehehe.

Good luck to your lovelies oh Mum sounds like there cool ….. not sure i would be yikes but good luck you you all x and Debbies x
Take it easy

Thank you i shall grab a cup and head over x

Message to all Most Haunted Fans:
Pick Tv are showing classic Most Haunted Weekdays at 2pm and 6pm and everyone needs to be watching these shows as Pick Tv already has high views because everyone is watching the shows on Pick Tv.
What I ask is that you keep watching these episodes weekdays and also post or message on Pick Tv Facebook page in a nice friendly manner that you would like to see New Most Haunted Shows or a Halloween Live show for this year,as I feel the more who message and comment on there facebook page the more it will go to the head of Pick Tv’s Channel. which is what we want of course!As they have said they will forward on any messages to the Head of Pick Tv Channel. So lets do this,even a comment a day for the next few months helps massively!!!!!!!!!!!
come on lets work together and do this x

W\wishes to you all xxx

Sorry to hear about Willow, Nikki.

Remember ‘The Rainbow Bridge’, it helps me.

The cooking sounds really nice, making me hungry now.

Hope the ants are taken care of (Exterminate! EXTERMINATE!)

Sounds like the Guineas made the most of the weather at the long weekend. 🙂

Hope you’re ok. I sent you a PM on EG. xxx

I hope Mowgli’s thumb gets better soon, Debby, it sounds horrible, she’s handled it well.

How’s the gardening going? Weather’s been very odd, rained this morning, then sunny, then windy, now sunny and windy, make up your flaming mind! More indecisive than me with a pudding menu…

Have fun in The Devil’s Playground, I’m imagining you and Mr Debby wearing camouflage, spying on your kids with the binoculars and the Mission Impossible music in the background. XD

Good to see you. xxx

Claire, I’m glad you enjoyed the party on here. You’re a friend to everyone on here, so we wanted to celebrate your birthday. 🙂

Caught up with Jane Goldman Investigates, it’s been a good series, different from the first one, but she’s still actively getting involved by taking part in ghost hunting, witnessing a Voodoo rite and an exorcism, so that’s very good. If I had a criticism, it might be that the first series, I felt, had more of a personal feel to it with the video diaries and the personal challenges with getting acquainted with the art she was learning. That said, there’s only so far she could do that with the second series given the subject matters, and the involvement she had was very interesting and showed she still connected with the subject; so she definitely gets points for that.

It’s good to hear that Ryan Buell is in a much better place than he was this time last year, the way he’s getting through it is inspirational.

Aww… Lovely quote from Doctor O’Keeffe, hope he and Mrs O’Keeffe are both well, their first wedding anniversary in August, isn’t it?

Apparently, PickTV are getting irritated with all the messages left on their wall re:MH.
Pick TV:
“Most Haunted Live shows will not be shown on Pick TV. We will be showing unseen on Pick TV episodes in the future. Please could you stop posting messages constantly. Many thanks team Pick”
I don’t think pester power is working. The fans are moaning about it being rude, but I can see how irritating it must be to get the same messages posted on their wall all the time (see also: Si’s uphill struggle with the question “When’s MH coming back?”), they do screen other shows too and need to be fair and give time to others as well. At least they said ‘please’…

There’s a PM on EG for you. Take care. xxx
