It might be a good idea to play the video before reading on..........There will be spoilers in my write up
You will have to sign up for 4oD but its well worth it.
Hi Sans
I too watched the programme. After a wonderful tip off about the programme by Email. Thanks Linda.
It was an exellent programme & I enjoyed it greatly.
Now lets get down to the nitty gritty.
I feel that there was a lot of things that happened that seemed to be put on. Not Paranormal
The girls playing tricks was a big one
I think that the news paper reporters were defenatly putting it on. They took photos of Leggo bricks & marbles flying about the room. When the photos were developed there was only the room showing in the pictures. No Leggo bricks or Marbles. These most certanly would have showed up on camera. They are of this world (solid) & not spiritual. So I feel that there was jiggery pokery from the news paper reporters
I feel that if I was a paranormal researcher of the time, I would have most certanly have tried to capture the events on Super8 film. Super 8 film cameras were about at the time. So I feel that this was a huge mistake by the investigators.
What they did get on tape, photos was impressive. However, if it had been captured on Super 8 film, it would have been so much more impressive. Not to mention giving the sceptics a headache
The experiment of making the girl hold a mouth full of water in her mouth & then taping over her mouth shut, was interesting. As the gruff voice was as clear, as it was as the girl was talking normaly. When the researcher removed the tape, the girl spat out the water that she was still holding in her mouth.
No top stage ventriloquist alive today could do that. So that was very, very impressive. As well as a good scientific experiment to try.
It was good to see the paranormal researchers & the sceptics in battle together. I feel that both sides can claim victories.
Yes I feel that there was things happening in the house but not as much as was reported, that could be put down to the paranormal.
One thing that I did find intersting was the the news papers tried to get the girls to add paranormal events to their original stories (no doubt for money) but the girls would not add anything else to their stories.
another thing that I noticed was that the young girl that was athletic as a youngster looked very withdrawn in her adult life.
This could have been down to the drugs that was aministered to her in hospital, or her own paranormal experiences. Possibly both.
Very very interesting programme
Best wishes
Eddie
