Ok, I've nicked this off of the Fortean Times Message Boards but it's an interesting read all the same - apparantly a ghost has been on a similar forum to this in the West Mids - go there from here (http://www.birminghamuk.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=386)

spooky!

I had to read that in a brummie accent. That is one long, long thread. Cant say i'm a beliver in ghosts.

very strange.... should've mentioned the thread runs to 160 pages :o

you can download an ebook of the ghost's memoirs here (http://www.birminghamuk.com/michaelpennington.htm)

And if you believe that, you'll believe anything.

Didn't say I believed it did I? :rolleyes:

I didn't say you did.

Interesting.....

I assume that no-one has done the obvious and checked times of postings against office occupancy, IP addresses, etc.

It's sort of like the Hitler Diaries. Lots of stuff but all pooh.

What brasses me off about stories like this is that experiences of the apparently super- or para-normal that people have that are genuinely difficult to explain are often pooh-poohed because of stories like this.

Like Fox Mulder, I want to believe, but this beggars belief and leaves me wondering what people are on in Birmingham...it's like the postings on USENET that popped up some years ago where a guy was convinced (and he had evidence to prove it) that he was being spied on by MI5 through his TV set....

And that bloke from the future who started posting in some news group, virtually became a cult.

Excellent piece of writing though. Been flicking through the ebook.

You mean www.johntitor.com ?

An excellent piece of fiction, i agree. I doubt we'll have a world war this year.

how far has anyone read through all of his story? as after the first few pages I got bored and thought he was pulling my leg. Best bits being "I will cover that in more detail later" wtf! say it now not later.

well there's 160 forum pages of it...

apparantly just a hoax (http://www.michaelpennington.uni.cc)

but still a good read all the same.

i hope there is going to be a part 2 :thumbsup:
