SOME OF MY FAVOURITE PARA QUOTES

"Sally Morgan has sacked family members and hints at a marriage breakup because she wants you to think she is the victim. She isn't" 1/2 "The victim is the man that her husband threatened to have "lifted" and make homophobic comments too. Remember that" 2/2 "Paranormal brand competition. It's got the whiff of a supermarket price war. About as handy for expanding what we know of the subject too" "No one knows what rational research is. They think its what they see on TV" "Demand rational research and progress, not selfies and brand boosting" "Never be afraid to stand up and be counted. Who really wants to see paranormal research destroyed by ego's and the fame desperate?"

MORONS AND OXYMORONS - MAN DEVELOPS GHOST APP WHICH DETECTS PAREIDOLIA

Crowdfunding Sought for 'Ghost-Detecting' Computer Program "HIT". Is a fantastic Light and Motion Rendering Clusterfuck" A man who believes he has developed a scientific way to detect ghosts and other paranormal entities in everyday photos and videos has launched a crowdfunding program to raise money for further development.

The Haunted - A Social History of Ghosts Owen Davis (author)

In my library The Introduction to this captivating and fascinating book proclaims "England has long had a reputation for being haunted". This reputation and our love affair with ghosts is primarily a result of cultural, social and religious change over the past 500 years and it is these aspects of ghosts that the author investigates. Davies begins with a chapter entitled `Manifestation' where personal characteristics, times of haunting, the dress and lifespan of ghosts is discussed. There follows the geography of haunting and analysis of how social changes have affected ghost sightings in certain locations. For example, ghosts are rarely reported in churchyards today because fewer people go to church and hence fewer people find themselves in churchyards. Allied to this is the fact that public cemeteries are now located away from areas of housing. This is a far cry from the 19th century when churchyards were a much more important space, not just on a religi...
