I have visions of Two Gun Bob chatting to the corpses if i'm honest. Not in a bad way, but just talking about where he's going on holiday and where he gets nice bread from.
Yes at the time is was bloody Seagulls squawking.did you just hear something outside the window?
So here's a chance to call me a liar, because it's something I saw with my own eyes. Albeit not linked to oiuji boards.
One night I was walking my dog along the edge of a playing field. We were actually outside the railings. All of a sudden I saw a bright light about 20ft away and 2ft off the ground. Imagine a dog with a torch in its mouth. After bit it started to move. But then it shot to the far end of the field, far faster than even a greyhound could run. I watched it moving about for several minutes, until it vanished. No sound. no sign of anything but this small and very bright light.
Not all things are easy to explain away.
Ok fair enough mate, we haven't met so I get your doubts. Guys I have met off this forum making friends with several blues may have doubts too. But I doubt any of them would call me a lying bullshitter when I'm being serious on a subject.Thats either a very good bait or a very honest post. Its difficult to know without knowing you better which.
I will tend to the latter because of my open and honest nature.
You will need when you are ready, to tell your story. Have you told it to others in your life and what was their reaction?
Anyway, I am sure you will agree that fishing is an excellent way to keep equilibrium in your life and your mind. In my instance I took it up to deal with stress at work, a very modern demon. Did it help you?
Ok mate. Its difficult on a forum that has its own cheeky scamps who like nothing better than a clarkie and wind up of us innocents.Ok fair enough mate, we haven't met so I get your doubts. Guys I have met off this forum making friends with several blues may have doubts too. But I doubt any of them would call me a lying bullshitter when I'm being serious on a subject.
My ex wife loves watching horror films and asked me several times to tell her what happened. I never did as I didn't want to frighten her. I think I've told someone or a small group who I didn't know what happened as I overheard them talking about ouija boards and joined in the conversation. But nobody else. It's something I very rarely think about nowadays. I just block it out in my head.
I love getting out fishing (as you know) and it's an excellent stress buster, so more fishing is good for my soul and peace of mind: )
I would say its a natural mental reaction to your, at the time, employment. The thunder and lightening + the policeman you are already jumpy. Then the mind gets to work.....
Had you been watching the 'Thriller' video beforehand?
Now that would have been something to see, a phalanx of the undead dancing towards you as you fumbled for the key.
Out of interest, did you work in the funeral industry for long?
Mobile Embalming services. Keep em stiff, I'll be there in a jiff.Actually quite a good few years, eventually leaving as it was a dead end job, but still have the MBIE and DIPFD to fall back on. Commenced working for a small company in Great Harwood called Birtwistles and was taught fly fishing by the bosses son who was a cracking lad, we used to fish the large reservoirs above Harwood. Worked for a short spell in Clayton Manchester and then the Co-operative funeral services and then worked as a mobile embalmer in the north west. I even thought about setting up on my own and even decided on a trade name with that all important logo. Mobile Embalming services. Keep em stiff, I'll be there in a jiff. Working behind the scenes in the industry was a light hearted affair and totally different to working front line were dignity care and respect were the watchwords. In essence you worked for the bereaved to assist them through the difficult process of saying goodbye to their dearly departed. All of us sadly will one day experience the terrible pain and anguish but it's comforting to know there are people more able to assist and take away the worry of the legalities and organizational aspects at a time while you are less able to function or perform. As for getting out of the industry I made the decision to move on as it was a period when all the smaller funeral homes were getting eaten up by a particular French funeral conglomerate. Things that should not have to change did start to change and the approach to the industry became more profit driven. Dignity another big player came to the fore in the 90's buying up smaller homes and to this day are the co operatives biggest competitor. Even though NAFD at the time tried to encourage transparity it was evident that margins were getting out of control. People don't tend to shop around because they upset and emotional so clear transparency and fair pricing structures should have been paramount and sadly it became more about increasing these margins beyond acceptability than caring for the bereaved. Things have moved on three or four decades later with companies offering simple funerals. There is plenty of evidence that prices are still too high, particularly when compared to margins in the same sector in other countries. Having to offer the bereaved a coffin brochure with absurdly named products called The Kensington The Edwardian or Paisley was just one step too much for me so I bailed. An average price for cremation now with a hearse and one limo is around the £4k mark and more for burial. The old adage of Take A Buttie Don't Take A Banquet springs to mind. Back to ghosts I will believe it when I see one pop up on News At Ten. Until such time I remain in Ghost Denial.
I used to take acid and mushroom juice regularly in the early 80s. I've been off my face with some really good and a few bad trips where I was zonked out. My experience that night was different and I was consciously aware of what went on. Thinking back what happened could have been one of the contributing factors when I was admitted to Tameside Hospital and sectioned.. Copious amounts of drink and drugs definitely did but a lot of really strange things happed to me around that time. And I'm not on about because I'd been tripping my face of on LSD or mushies.Don’t mean to sound disrespectful but the first thing that came to mind was a bad acid trip, I’ve had similar experiences but I had the benefit of knowing what caused it.
You could easily pop a couple in a can of beer and you would never know, they were very easy to get hold of 30 odd years ago
