My brother in law James died of cancer four years ago. At the time his mother was in her early nineties and had dementia. The family decided not to tell her her son had passed as her dementia was so advanced. She believed that he was working away. When he was ill she would ask where he was, to...

I also found this debunking video after I made the post!

Sorry not been on here for a while...I've been watching Really Haunted on Youtube and wondered what others think about it. The footage looks pretty convincing Edit: The Channel's most popular video to date:

Has anyone been listening to the Uncanny on Radio 4?

Looks legit to me

Yes definitely movie material. Amazing for a man who didn't start writing till he was 45.For his second book to be made into a film with big names is some feat.I must admit that I turned off the film Devil All The Time after seeing they have missed so much out.Too much is lost in film as the...

yes I'm not sure about the Netflix film.I won't hold my breath.I read that Frank Bill book and the other one he wrote Donnybrook?I enjoyed them.Daniel Woodrell also is good

thank you

I like the sound of that.Where can I watch it?

I was a bit disappointed with Heredity I don't know why?

I think one of the main problems with the twin towers was the fireproofing. The girders that formed the structure were not completely fire proofed and there was weak points which had not been fire proofed.

Yes I know but it was an unusual sighting near the house.It sounds like a strange sighting on it's own.

Hi I really liked this story but not the fact it was so scary for you.It could have been a dream but it does not explain the figure you saw earlier in the day, standing in the field.

Changing the subject completely.I was watching an old programme about the first Gulf War.Apparently the Israeli Special Forces were practising ways to assassinate Saddam. In one training exercise they set up a convoy of Israeli soldiers dressed as Iraquis with a Saddam lookalike in one of the...

What's the explanation of Jesus in the Koran?

I don't think Orwell had a Utopian vision of Socialism, especially after his experiences in the Spanish Civil War. I think he was in a position to observe first hand how the Fascists, Communists, Socialists and Anarchists operated and drew his own conclusions. which you can see in his works...

As a big fan of Orwell I totally agree with your comments.I read The Road to Wigan Pier years ago.What I can remember, Orwell pretty much nails the description of how the situation for the working class was at the time.Orwell's varied life experiences make his work authentic and I believe...

I think it's a bit like "a haunted house is not haunted until someone enters "and triggers the haunting activity. I remember someone saying that.I think it was a psychic Gordon Smith.

Ghost Hunting shows might get a bit more interesting now that Derek Acorah is on the other side.Than you Sam er.. Derek

I knew a guy some years back that owned an old property, which dated back to the civil war. He built a house on the land next to the cottage. His intention being to renovate the old cottage to let)and live in the newly built house. He told me as soon as the renovations began, tools would...

Very strange story. I actually watched an animated version of this on YouTube the other week.It was called the Charterhouse Guest

Haha that's it. How would you ever know any different if she had said nothing?I love it.Two of my best friends in school were identical twins and I used to love how much they used it to their advantage."It wasn't me sir it was my brother"

I don't know why I find that so amusing!

This is the kind of thread I like!

Thank you James my daughter has been de-freaked out!

I did wonder if there is such a thing. The punctuation made me think it could be automated. Sorry, I can't speak right now.

Had a strange experience tonight again with my daughter's phone. I have posted previously about how her phone will call me when she is not got it on her person. Well tonight she was out trick or treating{Thanks America). She was nearby and we live in a quiet town, but I still thought I would...

It's all really fascinating

danr, I find your research fascinating.I am not here to debunk anyone's theories or experiences. As I said previously I have a very open mind. I just wonder at what point do we differentiate between someone experiencing mental illness and some other type of experience?Anybody I have met who has...

I am very open minded with regards to telepathy, coincidences, fate etc r I wouldn't have joined this forum,but I have a bit of difficulty with thought broadcasting. Thought broadcasting, thought insertion and ideas of reference{ tv and radio relating messages or referencing words to you}...

That was really well put Scribbles. I am no expert myself but have worked with complex PTSD and Personality Disorders for a good number of years. I am still learning. I think your post is informative.I have gone from thinking what a pain someone is, then feeling bad about it. Unless someone is...

One of my friends worked in a hospital in Scotland a few years back. He told me of a lad who was detained and put on a treatment order due to stopping eating. The lad had a diagnosis of schizophrenia but mt friend wasn't totally convinced of that diagnosis. The lad would just stop eating and...

It's a difficult one. I wonder how many people who have committed serious crimes, have been viewed as harmless fantasists before hand?When you watch documentaries of the Columbine Killers{had we not seen the videos they made of themselves} they appeared to be nerdy guys who you would never...

I had a similar situation recently when a person stated to my colleague, they thought about purchasing a gun and going on a shooting spree. My gut instinct was the guy was trying to shock, but you never know. My colleague discussed it with the guy's medical team and was told to report it to...

I think Andy had the perfect group to manipulate, young students who were very smart but not streetwise. I had a much different back ground myself and a bit more streetwise. I have highlighted the negative things he had done, but despite the poorly researched back story{I think I could reference...

Many years ago as a single man I shared a flat with four people that had advertised a small room in their flat{was the first and last time I ever did that}. Three of the flatmates were students{two females and a male} and the fourth was "in security, mate". I don't know why but straight off the...

That's pretty strange. I wonder why he was there?

She sounds like a psychopath.

Sorry INT21 I could have chose a better example. No need for political discussion. It was more to do with how the media cover stories not so much about the politics. The way the media cover the stories to the extent they do, there is no need at times.

How was he able to get so close with a gun?

I had similar questions there dr wu, you beat me to it!

Thanks Ramonmercado, I can rely on you for a good re view!

My point is not so much about the IRA but about the coverage of Terror attacks in London now and 30 years ago since we now have 24 hour coverage.How unnecessary it is. Apologies if I did not make this clear.

Yes but I don't get your point.

News is more sensationalised these days. Not to minimise any recent crimes or terror attacks, but to have the story on a loop, constant talking heads giving their opinions is too much. I'm in my 40s now and remember the IRA bombing campaign of mainland Britain.We didn't have 24 hour news...

Just noticed Mother on Netflix. Any good?

I was convinced of the CIA/Mafia conspiracy for years.I then began looking more into the LHO being the lone gunman theory and it became quite plausible. The shots fired with the old Italian rifle were replicated by a SWAT Team member {in recent years,)in the same amount of time , basically...

I also really enjoyed this film. I think you really like it or you don't. So many of my friends think it is shit, where as the ones who like it, got really into it.

Really Scary individual. He most certainly would have committed more murders. You can clearly see the progression in his crimes, from sexually motivated break ins ,sexual assaults to murder. Perfecting his techniques and needing more of a thrill each time.Killers like him tend to need more and...

I watched the Police interview of Colonel Russell Williams last night on youtube {who says I'm not rock and roll, watching documentaries on a Saturday night?}. It was really disturbing and at times distressing. However the video showed the exceptional skill of the Police investigator who got him...
