Britain’s Ghost Patrol – Who Are The Ghosts Helping British Police Solve Crimes?

By Leave a Comment

Who has more information about crime than a ghost? Answer: the British Metropolitan Police force, but only because they now have an entire Ghost Patrol solving crimes every day.

In London, Britain’s biggest police force has admitted to the existence of a Ghost Patrol who work with four ghost-wrangling mediums to solve crimes.That’s right, finally a police service that takes the crime-solving abilities of its ghostliest citizens seriously.

Don’t take it from me. A Freedom of Information request released to the media has confirmed there are FOUR MEDIUMS currently employed by the Metropolitan Police. That’s four ghost-talking spiritualists on the city payroll, working with ghosts on the job everyday to solve crimes.

Who exactly are the members of this Ghost Patrol and what cases have they helped to solve?

More importantly, if you are a ghost with information about a crime, as most ghosts indeed do, how can you join the squad? And if you do, what is it like? Will you be paid in cherry pie? Or eternal salvation.

Watch here for more info as I have contacted the Metropolitan Police and fully expect they will be overwhelmed with excitement at the opportunity to clarify the details of their ghostly operations.

Celebrate Pi Day Have Cherry Pie With Your Favorite Ghost Today

By 4 Comments

Hooray it’s Pi Day, March 14  or 03.14! If you like me are on the Leprechaun treasure trail today be sure and take a break at 3:14 to celebrate Pi Day.

On Pi Day have cherry pie with a ghost at 3:14 exactly.

Traditional Pi Day celebrations have always involved eating a tasty triangle of pie with a friend. And thanks to an astonishing discovery last year about the effect of cherry pie on ghosts, why not have some cherry pie with your favourite ghost today at exactly 3:14?

I intended to use the power of Pi Day and cherry pie to get a ghost gabbing about the location Forrest Fenn’s Treasure.

To review: My biggest problem right now is this. To which of the nine pueblos or houses of Brown, does the poem refer? Assuming that it does indeed refer to pueblos?

(My other biggest problem of course is how to stop Forrest Fenn and Zyboragon from discovering it with me, since both have expressed an interest in NOT sharing. If a leprechaun, a human and a dragon fight over a treasure who wins? But more of that later.)

First things first. If I am going to get to this treasure before St. Paddy’s Day, it was time to chat with some Northern Indian ghosts on Pi Day.

So when they came sniffing around for cherry pie at 3:14 I was ready. Sure, it didn’t look EXACTLY like the pie in this photo, it was more of a bush pie on a stick. But it was hot and ready at 3:14 and sure enough a Northern Indian ghost stopped by.

The ghost said his name was Juan de Oñate who established the first capital of New Mexico around here in 1598. Juan insisted that the clues point to his Pueblo, the one known as “Ohkay Owingeh.”

“Consider these clues,” he said. “My pueblo is right near a warm lake and the poem does talk about high water. Our people are famous for bravery and strength. The poem says, no land for the meek. That’s us. On top of that, we do have a fully operational casino with high security safes. He probably put it in one of those. That, or he gambled it away already and forgot.”

Or course I was skeptical. No old-school leprechaun would ever trust casino security with his treasure. But did Forrest Fenn gamble it away?  Doesn’t exactly sound like him. He would be more likely to put it all on a Northern Native artifact.

Thankfully Juan did leave me with a few new clues before the pie was all gone:

(a) Mr Fenn is an elderly gentleman who put the box in after being told his days were numbered.

(b) He has stated that it is north of Santa Fe.

(c) That it is at over 5,000 feet in elevation.

(d) That he drove there in his car and parked. Then walked to the site carrying the box.

(e) That the box weights more than 40lbs.

(F) And today he is reported as having said that we should bear in mind how far a sick old guy can
carry a 40lb box Remember he was very sick when he planted it.

And last but most importantly.

(G) LOOK FOR THE BLAZE.

Unfortunately, at that point I ate the last bite of cherry pie and he was gone. I couldn’t help myself. It’s hungry work out here. Plus, I was getting a little tired of Juan’s shameless self-promotion. In fact, I think his help is leading me to another Pueblo entirely. San Ildefonso Pueblo. In addition to being famous for pottery and art which Forrest Fenn loved, San Il Defenso is at the base of a canyon. And how did the Northern Indians make their pottery? IN A BLAZE!

I’m going to start there in the morning, but one thing keeps bugging me about this whole theory. Why would Fenn capitalize “Brown” if he didn’t mean for a name?

Keep on keeping on.

Angry Ex-Boyfriend Buys Haunted Mirror

By 9 Comments

A jilted ex-boyfriend has offered to buy a haunted mirror on eBay after it caused its owners a run of bad luck, missing objects and stabbing pains in the middle of the night.

But can you really buy a haunted mirror for revenge on an ex? Should you? Or will it backfire?

An SOS truer-than-true story in progress…

Mirror that haunted flatmates now for sale on e-Bay.

Students Joseph Birch and Sotiris Charalambous did not realize the antique mirror was haunted when they first brought it into their home. Not even when their landlord was trying to dispose of the mirror after using silver paint in a desperate attempt to rehabilitate it.

(These  facts would have been a dead giveaway to SOS readers who are aware of the supernatural utility of silver and could have warned Joseph that a suspicious old mirror with a silver border is not exactly a good find. Clearly the landlord was trying to coax the ghost out of his antique mirror but failed and gave it away instead.)

Shortly after Joseph and Sotiris brought the mirror into their home, weird shadows began appearing, things started to go missing, and they both began to wake up screaming in the middle of the night with stabbing and burning pains in certain unmentioned parts of their bodies.

After enduring this ghastly situation for several months, the renters gave up dealing with their mirror ghost – or ghosts  – and began to advertise it for sale on Ebay instead. The haunted mirror has received several offers, including one from an angry ex-boyfriend who says he will pay £100 and give it as a gift to his ex-gf.

But will the angry ex-boyfriend have his revenge? Or will the joke be on him?

As SOS readers know, old mirrors become haunted for two very good reasons. First, old mirrors are made with a real silver backing. Ghosts love silver. The molecular structure of true silver is highly conductive and responds easily to their energy.

Second, old mirrors see and reflect a lot of events – not all of them good. When a tragic event takes place in front of a mirror, as they often do, the mirror can trap the energy of that event for all time. If that event resulted in the death of somebody, the mirror may also trap their ghost.

But sometimes a ghost will actually choose to stay with the mirror and the energy of the terrible events that killed him because he thinks it will help him communicate his situation to the living. Clearly this is the situation with Joseph’s mirror. The landlord tried and failed to draw the ghost(s) out of the glass by providing a silver conduit. Did he also try to establish communication with the ghost by placing a cherry pie and a candle in front of it before midnight? We don’t know.

We do know that whatever communication attempts have taken place, they have not been successful. Until we know for sure what events this mirror witnessed, we will never know what the ghost wants.

Which brings us back to the angry ex-boyfriend who thinks this mirror will be the perfect revenge on his old GF. Will it work?

Ghosts are not like angry attack dogs. You can’t just sic them on anyone you want! He doesn’t even know the ghost(s) in question. Is it a guy or a girl. How did they die? What do they want you to do?  All we know for sure so far about this mirror ghost, is that it seems to like haunting a couple of guys…

Would you invest?

Appy Halloween Ghost Messages

By 2 Comments

Speaking of spectres for Halloween, is Ghost Writer really an app that lets you write and receive ghost messages? Is it a serious supernatural tool or just spooky fun?

Those were naturally my first questions when I received an email last night about a new app called Ghost Writer. The email got my attention right away with their claim this app is quote, “The biggest advance in ghost-human communications since the invention of Cherry Pie. Use it on Halloween to write ghost messages.”

Serious supernatural tool or just spooky fun?

If you do have a ghost or know a ghost or maybe you ARE a ghost, then you probably  know why I’m talking about this. The peskiest of paranormal problems – spectral speechifying. Ghostly grumbling. It’s a killer! Makes you want to just say, hey when you make my walls bleed do you really mean to say that you want to kill me? Or this just your fun way of  letting me know you don’t like the paint?

(Or just how you ask for cherry pie.)

Every meddling medium for the last 300 years has been trying to solve this problem. From table tappers to tea readers, aura photographers to e-meters. Everybody has their own favorite solution.

At one conference I recently attended, The Maritime Ghost Conference,they recommended  using cherry pie. No joke. You just get your ghost gabbing with cherry pie, they said. Ghosts like cherry pie, they said. It gets them talking, they said. It’s so easy, they said.

Yeah so I tried it. You set the cherry pie out at night so it’s there at the exact time and place that your ghost usually visits. (Ghosts, like vampires, rarely appear during the day.)

Then you sit and wait for your ghost to appear. (Don’t eat the cherry pie here, very important point. I can’t stress this enough in terms of your survival.)

Now when your ghost appears you simply inquire of your apparition if he or she would like some delicious cherry pie or if he or she likes delicious cherry pie in general or if not what kind of pie does he or she likes and then…

...well that’s another story. Just watch out for flying cherries unless you want to lose an eye. That’s all I’m saying. Trust me on this.

Back to this new app called Ghost Writer. Could it really be the next go-to supernatural tool for ghost messages? That would be nice. I’m looking into that one today and I’ll let you know how that goes. Feel free to join me, download Ghost Writer here, it is in fact free and it could be fun. At the very least you won’t have to clean cherry pie off the walls when you’re done.

Although I suppose cherry pie is better than blood. Unless you’re a vampire I guess. Hey that makes me think… why don’t the bleeding wall ghosts and the vampires just make a deal and….???

Maybe Ghost Writer can help with that. We will see. Thanks for keeping on keeping on.

Get Your Ghost Gabbing With Cherry Pie

By 3 Comments

New research says cherry pie will get your ghost talking

(SOS/WTF/ASAP) Got a moany ghost in your house who won’t tell you want he wants? Help this week comes from an unlikely source. Hint: it’s all about the cherry pie!

Getting your ghost(s) to talk to you is possibly the penultimate problem of paranormal research. Helping your ethereal friends find eternal rest can be really hard if the only way they can express their feelings is with bleeding walls, rattling chains and banging cupboards.

But what is the best way to communicate with your resident restless dead? It’s a question that has plagued supernatural survivologists throughout history. Well surprising new research presented this week at a ghost convention claims to have found the key. And believe it or not, it’s just this – cherry pie.

As everyone reading this probably knows, I am not a paranormal researcher per sey. I am just a supernatural surivologist. But  the latest research is always an important survival tool. So that’s why when I heard about the Maritime Ghost Conference, I called immediately to see if there was room for me. Or rather the ghost of me. It’s a Ghost Conference after all.

Unfortunately when I called the conference, organizer Ghostly David Hanson knew right away that I was no harmless haunter and would not allow me to register. Apparently my area code is a dead giveaway that I’m among the living. Who knew.

Ghostly David Hanson Sees Alive People!

Fortunately though, for the right price, I was allowed to observe. The Maritime Ghost Conference takes place every year at night on the cool old ships you see at the San Diego Maritime Museum. It’s a perfect opportunity for ghosts to gather in a high-ion flow zone where it’s easier to manifest and talk about important ghostly issues. Like, how to bug the e-meters of paranormal researchers and cause them read their own body ions. Stuff like that.

So what about the cherry pie? Well I’m getting to that. One session aboard the Star of India teaches ghosts how to communicate through EVP or electronic voice phenomenon. As we all know, ghosts generally have important messages for people. Things that need resolving. Business that needs finishing. So they need to know how to activate the paranormal recording equipment in fun ways that will get human’s attention. In other words, the secret language of ghosts.

Problem is, sometimes ghost messages are hard for ghosts to communicate. Either the human voice apparatus was irreparably damaged during his or her passage or the ghost is having too much fun and wants to prolong the mission or maybe sometimes it’s just too hard to say what really needs to be said.

And that’s where the cherry pie comes in. (Like I said this is a story about ghosts and cherry pie.) During a break in proceedings, one of the ghosts started talking about cherry pie. Next thing you know, all of the ghosts are talking about cherry pie, how they would give anything for one more bite of cherry pie. Deep dish vs shallow. A la mode or whip cream. I have never seen a longer, conversation about cherry pie in my life.

“Ghosts just love cherry pie. They can’t eat it anymore but they sure love to talk about it.” Ghost Conference organizer  and paranormal researcher named David Schulz said. “That’s the best way to get a ghost talking. Ask them about cherry pie.”

And that’s how cherry pie becomes an important supernatural survival tool to get your ghost gabbing.

 

Who is Haunted Baby?

By 7 Comments

Disturbing Survivor emails this week contained a terrifying photo (below) along with a desperate plea for help:

“Seth I recently found this photo in an old box that was sent to me by a stranger on my birthday. Do you think it has anything to do with my real mom? What is going on? Please help – JD.”

Survivor discovers scary old baby photo.
Is this old baby photo evidence of a ghostly or demonic curse?

I wrote back to JD asking for more info and she wrote me back as follows:

“I am adopted. About a year ago, I put a notice on this website that hooks up adopted kids with their birth parents. My parents only knew her first name, “Lucy,” so I knew it was a long shot. Then on my birthday I got this strange present in the mail-this photo, wrapped in a very old-fashioned box. I don’t know what it means. There was no note, no card, nobody signed it. What does it mean?”

Of course I implored “JD” to show this photo to her adoptive parents immediately and together they could decide what to do. She wrote back.

“Seth when I showed the photo to my adoptive mom SHE FREAKED OUT! She wanted to burn it. She tried to take it from me I had to run out of the house and hide it. Now I’m really freaked out. Can you ask people what does it mean?”
