heres one for the photography boys.

take a film camera, point an IR remote at it, and take a snap, do the same with a CCD based dslr/cameraphone, and youll see it flash white - its how we used to test remotes for function in richer.

nooooooow.... if the invention of digital cameras made snappy said yolks a lot easier - does that mean that apperitions are appearing on different bands like 720odd that IR appears on? so its not actually a visible light, rather a vibrating mass of energy? should i stop sniffing prittstick?

CCD's capturing oddball wavelengths and displaying them as visible colours on down the scale!

I never used to believe in ghost and stuff i used to think people that did were just complete fruit cake's so to speak lol!

But one night we was in Reculver a place about 3miles from were i live, we was sitting in a pub, and decided to take a walk up to the Tower's (Reculver towers), as a few of my mate's were saying there are a few ghost's up there...

1. a monk that wonder's the old church grounds
2. a screaming baby

There the only 2 I've heard of but i think there are a few others as well,

Anyway i was just laughing at them and calling them all idiots and just wanted to get back into my car and go home, but they started calling my a wimp so obviously i had to go and show i wasn't haha!

we all walked up to the tower's and went behind the remains of the old church, there are light's that light up the tower's at night and they are really bright, but these were off as they are turned off after 11pm, and we was up there at about 11.30pm, all my mate's were looking up through one of the window's and kept saying they could see something looking at them, i just laughed as i couldn't see anything, then they said look there it is again but none of them were getting freaked out at all so i just think they were lying to be honest,

Well when i was looking up to were they said they could see something, in the corner of my eye right at the top of one of the tower's i saw what looked like a paper bag, i looked directly at it and it had legs, body but no head on it from what i could see, i completely freaked out and turned around to find out everyone else had walked off and was back down at the car park, so i just pegged it as fast as i could down to my car haha,

And i swear to this day it was the ghost of a human body but had no head,

Then about 2weeks later, me and few of my mate's went down to Dover and got into the Dover War tunnel's, there a massive network of underground tunnels that run through the cliff's and go all the way underground to Dover castle, we had our phone light's on and was looking up these stair's and something walked through the light at the end of the stair's we turned our phone lights of incase it was police or anything and then turned them back on to see what looked like a face on the wall, i will see if i can find the picture of this on my phone and ill post it up!

This is a picture of reculver tower's by the way, i saw the ghost sitting on the little flat bit next to the right tower, at the bottom of the bit that looks like a house roof!

This is what the Dover war tunnel's are like inside in the dark, (picture from Google image's)

alan_d obviously i dont expect ppl to believe my opinion as the absolute truth but usually spirits of a child hang around other children for company and feed off their energy levels. Most of the time they mean no harm and tend to move on when the child they are following grows older.

If a medium says the spirit means no harm and has a nice presence thats good then. A sign something is usually feeding off your enegry is you get headaches and feel tired always in the same room/same place etc. Some spirits can cause electrical interference too.

I've had dreams what occur and happen the next day not nice when it involves death. But nice when i get to 'talk' to the ppl who have died via dreams.

I'm wanting to go the local spiritualist church to learn mediumship properly.

I can understand he rock thing too natural rocks and crystals have so many vibes/energies. We get given 'good rocks' off my partners mum who does all this to keep in the childrens rooms etc.

You can also get special 'seeds' which trap spirits (more wanted for bad ones) out of your house etc but you have to be careful to make sure they have left the property before placing them over the door sills etc as you could effectively trap them in.

I couldnt care what others think, im here for an education! :D

Id heard this too, what astonishes me is how they 'find' these souls - apparently she could have walked past an area and her 'vibe/energy' pulled the spirit along, and likewise they can follow you too back out of the house as well, making them 'unshakeable'?
In the case of the photo jay posted, would it help at all if I told you that my other mate "b" took "l's" sister to one of her wee friends houses for a sleepover, and minutes after she left I became acutely aware of something on the stairs?

From what im told shes never felt anything like those symptoms, is the whole white noise/rfi honestly legit? ive seen the movies but never anything really documented?

I've had dreams what occur and happen the next day not nice when it involves death. But nice when i get to 'talk' to the ppl who have died via dreams.
My mother is a vivid dreamer with frightening accuracy too, she'll tell me that something good was going to happen to a workmate, and they came into money that week! Ive only ever had two real 'bad' predictions of dreams, one predicting first passing of a grandfather, and that further bad news was to come financially to my family. I didnt know what the meanings where, I lived in the city at the time, woke and phoned my mother from her sleep. She was greatly shocked that id had such dreams, as she had also had them, I had woke her from them, and she knew what the meanings were.

When my first uncle passed away, and again this could be coincidence, but I woke from my sleep gasping for a drink, walked downstairs, and as soon as I approached the telephone, it rang, with my parents on the phone from the hospital telling me my uncle had just passed. My ex's folks were shocked by this, as I had just woke them walking down the staircase, only for the phone to ring.

I'm wanting to go the local spiritualist church to learn mediumship properly.
I was brought up in a strongly Christian household, but have backslid over the years as I was pushed away from it for my love of djing in clubs, and had a few sermons pointed in my direction, but loving science and engineering, ive looked beyond the church, which I still feel immensly guilty for, and I doubt ill ever forget the lessons I was taught there.
I was the one who always asked difficult questions, and as you can guess, ive a keen interest in this stuff, and the occult - though ive the gumption to stay away from ouija boards etc, as im accutely aware there are bad spirits as well as good - your very wise to go through the correct channels to learn it properly!
A minister in a church from Belfast once spoke to me personally after I poked and probed at him for days to talk about stuff from Revelations, and the occult, he was disturbed by my interest, but I persuaded him of my intentions that it was purely about being armed with knowledge. I think ignorance is more dangerous than knowledge - as a child youd burn yourself in a fire without guidance.
Please do post what you learn - id be keen to hear it!

I can understand he rock thing too natural rocks and crystals have so many vibes/energies. We get given 'good rocks' off my partners mum who does all this to keep in the childrens rooms etc.
My mate was really alarmed by what he was told about this rock - the person that came to the house went to it like a bee to honey, and was quite aggitated by it, they wouldnt say why, but made it clear in no uncertain terms that he needed to get rid of it then and there - and far far away.
Would there be an ulterior motive to this? would he have carried something bad in it?

You can also get special 'seeds' which trap spirits (more wanted for bad ones) out of your house etc but you have to be careful to make sure they have left the property before placing them over the door sills etc as you could effectively trap them in.
wow! thats unreal - how would you even go about knowing their gone, what would you do with the seeds after?

sorry for all the Q's - im fascinated!

There are so many 'theories' about spirits its hard to understand what is the correct understanding of them. Yeh spirits attach to peoples energies. I believe 'earthbound spirits' get attached to objects and places they were very dear to in life. IE a car, jewellry etc etc i haven't asked/read about wether this is a strong with actual spirits who have supposedly crossed over. Again this is if you believe such things happen.

But places like gyms, cinema's, pubs, cafe's etc are so full of enegry spirits tend to lurk around those area's and that it is believed you can bring one home with you as such.

I guess your instinct gut feeling about a presence etc is just abit of a raw talent for knowing something is around. Something as children people mostly supress. Its apparantley where 'imaginary friends' come from but we get told its silly etc and so learn ignore what we can see.

Maybe everyone doesnt feel the typical symptoms or maybe she is just stronger. I have felt bad a few times when going into a mediums bedroom where all her crystals and spiritual stuff are and i've had to leave the room. I think (being pregnant at the time) i was just too sensitive to it all.
But as for electrical interference then yeh it can deffo happen not sure about the whole white noise thing though. But people have experienced lots of troubles with electrical items etc etc and its because there is something nearby and their energy is mixing things up. Infact i was having this exact conversation with my partners mum (medium) and as she was telling me the tv kept turning itself off and on and the lights flicker etc etc. But it wasnt spooky more like abit of fun as if someone was having a laugh at our expense lol.

Yeh the dreams thing is very common my worst one was dreaming that my grandma (who i was very close to) died and thankfully the next day i spent the whole day with my mum at my grandma's bedside in hospital and told my mum of the dream and thankgod i did coz when my grandma died the next day she believed me. Its supposedly a way of preparing us for things? Or so i got told anyway.

I will ask about the rock as i would like to know what could have been the motive behind it. Its interesting and alarming at the same time lol.

As for removing spirits from places with the seeds again this is from reading about the earthbound spirit side of things i want to read up/question if it works amongst all spirits but i guess you have to get someone in (experienced) and make the spirit leave and then you place them above all the entrances to the house or room. And they have to remain there. Also people carry them in their pockets to make sure no unwanted spirit gets attached to them. The famous earthbound spirit medium marry ann winkowski swears by them. But yeh stuff like ouji boards get and certain symbols you can draw are apparantley like opening a door for a bad spirit to enter. Quite scary really when you think about how many ppl mess about for 'fun' with them.

I would recommend having a read of that mary ann's book "when ghost speak" its really interesting, even if you dont believe her side of things. It is quite an interesting insight into what she believes and what she does. They based the (far fetched) tv show ghost whisperer on her work.

Yeah that is a bit freaky!! Coming from a small island full of palaces, fortresses and stuff, we have many people claiming to see ghost in old houses and fortresses......however they mostly see them in fortresses and dungeons as during the period of the Knights, the Knights could not marry as they were like god soldiers, so they used to have sex with young Maltese women and then they kill them (to keep the secret) and bury them in the walls which are about 2-3 meters thick.....in dungeons they used to torture people so I can expect that......and then you hear stories in old houses that gives you the creeps!!!

For example, an old house near where my dad used to live when he was still living with his parents, had a big well.....however there was something creepy about this well because a night, the water used to start splashing and making noise....like a storm in the sea (like the water wants to come out from the well)!!! The local priest used to come and pray to bless the well, and the water noise will become more violent....my dad says that around 3 families tried to live there but they all ended up selling the house again because strange things used to happen in this house. They ended up burring the well...but the house is still there abandoned. Some say, that maybe someone was killed and thrown in that well......

Other stories I heard from old houses...but they are all related to someone dying unexpectedly, or someone murdered or tortured and our catholic religion says they would be unrest souls searching to rest in piece...
