There was a lot of paranoia about Satanists and witchcraft, that I remember.Frank isn't a "Pervy random" LOL, a bit forward in his advances maybe but no pervI can't remember there being anti-pagan resentment in the 80s; was this something that was prevalent down south at this time?
Seems like you know Frank better than he knows himself.Frank isn't a "Pervy random" LOL, a bit forward in his advances maybe but no perv
I'm stating that he isnt no perv, I get it, you don't believe what I say ( that's your right and I respect that) but quit with the veiled hints.
I wonder if this would work if I walked the Armadillo Lizard?
The way society is going it will soon be illegal or suspect to talk to anyone on the street.
I remember an incident at my school (around 1983) where a kid went into a fit because someone kept drawing pentagrams on his folder. I guess after the Exorcist and the Omen movies in the 70s primed the 80s for a fear of the occult.
It's also around that time that I first recall hearing the term 'New Age traveller' and seem to recall some animosity towards them for supposed damage to ancient sites and the protests against new roads and so on.
I remember people confusing Wiccans with Satan worshippers, but this was in the '90s. I remember the Death metal scene starting in the 80s' this was followed by theatrical satanist desecrations in graveyards.
Probably the Sorceror's Apprentice in Leeds. That bloke Roger? who investigated odd stuff did a documentary on it.
I like this story and I thank you for bringing it to us. I know first hand how irritating "the treatment" can be here and other places. I've been guilty of dishing it out myself. Some people, though, want to read weird stories for the entertainment value, but don't want to have to deal with the possibility that they might have actually happened. That's what creepy pasta is for. Most members here have more to them than that, of course, and just want to make sure they are not being tricked into believing some yarn. I understand that insecurity, and try to avoid manifesting it myself.
Sorceror's Apprentice fire-bombed ? Nooooooooooooooooo.
I get you. My house is often a bit weird and people on'ere recommend setting up camcorders, thermometers etc to prove it.
I have no problem with folks stating their concerns or skepticism, this is healthy (and most folks I have met in here do so in a non-confrontation and professional way) what I don't tolerate is veiled accusations.
Great post!Over the years we have read very personal accounts of people's own weird experiences that they'd never share anywhere else because of a fear of being thought mad.
Those are my very favourite posts and I feel honoured for being trusted with them.
(The ghost-themed threads have many examples of this. Some posters stay just long enough to tell their story, then they're off.)
It's OK to question posters respectfully or to suggest alternative explanations; but calling people liars or idiots is rude and downright unFortean. That's not what we're here for.
We, and by that I mean fans of weirdness who've signed up'ere, want to hear everything. Everything.
Most of us are warmly accepting though not, we hope, gullible.

Thanks, 400 posts, Tempus fugit.

This is why I am here, I AM weird.
Which is good, because the world also makes the weird go round!
But what came first, The world or the Weird?
I've got an upstairs and an upstairs upstairs. Nothing weird about that...
