spooks & spectres
norris has just shown me one of the most compelling pieces of evidence for the existence of ghosts - see the observer's hunch for details, and a bone-chilling video.
in this game you have to keep an open mind... (dark energy for goodness sake) ...the establishment frowns on paranormal matters. however, i have seen some weird things in my time. things that can't be explained by the normal rules of logic, and i'm not talking about david copperfield being able to fly (he goes into a sealed box - and still flies).
i'll tell you about some paranormal experiences i have had
1) my encounter with the beast of bodmin
it was some years ago now. a friend and i were camping by the river in the woods near our house. twilight was approaching, and so perhaps my eyes were playing tricks on me... nevertheless, as i stood on the stone bridge looking down into the river i saw this large black shape seemingly stalk downstream and into the darkness beyond. i didn't think too much of it at the time, i thought it might be an otter or some other animal. later on i reasoned -- it's was far too big to be an otter, and besides, it moved like a cat. later i learnt that the Beast had been spotted further up our valley. in my opinion, this sighting could only have been the Beast of Bodmin. good job for me he wasn't hungry.
2) classic ghost
back home i live opposite a church + graveyard. this has never bothered me, but there was one time where i swear i could see a spectral shape in the churchyard. human shaped (people visit graves all the time)... but this thing simply vanished. classic ghost.
3) chains
this isn't one of mine, but my brother may fill you in. he (and others) have claimed to have heard a sound like the picking up and dropping of chains out the back (i wouldn't know - by bedroom doesn't face that way). clearly this is a restless spirit hanging around our back garden.
4) the night time stood still / ghost union
this one happened at uni in london, and perhaps my friend alun can corroborate the story, since it involved him too. i can't remember exactly where we had been before (in a pub probably), but we rolled up to south kensington with the plan to get a couple more drinks in the union. normally there was someone on the door to check cards, etc. no-one there. we entered the union anyway. the place was deserted. no-one was to be seen. no students, no staff (it wasn't that late). we had a wander round... a veritable marie celeste of a place. we eventually gave up and got the tube to kings union... and had a great night. i cannot explain what happened that night, but i'm sure it is paranormal in nature.
all i'm saying is... keep an open mind.
