				<title>A Fable &amp;amp; Link</title>
				<author><name>sceptictel</name></author>
				<link>http://www.sceptictel.co.uk/apps/blog/show/523235</link>
				<description>&lt;p&gt;I'm an avid reader of Dan Millman, author of The Peaceful Warrior and in one of his books is a story regarding &lt;a href="http://www.sceptictel.co.uk/goodorbad.htm"&gt;good or bad luck&lt;/a&gt;. I've found the story going through my head lately so thought I'd put it up on my &lt;a href="http://www.sceptictel.co.uk/inspiration.htm"&gt;inspiration page&lt;/a&gt; for easy reference. &lt;a href="http://www.sceptictel.co.uk/goodorbad.htm"&gt;See here.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I've also aded a link to &lt;a href="http://www.abigailsangels.co.uk/index.htm"&gt;Abigails Angels&lt;/a&gt; which is the website of Caroline who runs Roses Psychic Group. I've only met Caroline a few times but obviously Rose knows her very well and I hear from her about what the group do each week. Caroline strikes me as being an holistic practictioner with a depth of knowldege and character that shines in the world of the metaphysical which is seemingly plagued by people of questionable nature and ability. As Caroline says on her site the Psychic Group is a warm group of practitioners and I have felt this on the few social ocassions that we have got together. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;If you have an interest in the metaphysical then I would recommend taking a look at her website &lt;a href="http://www.abigailsangels.co.uk/index.htm"&gt;www.abigailsangels.co.uk &lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;More stuff coming soon...&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Tel&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

				<title>New page!</title>

				<link>http://www.sceptictel.co.uk/apps/blog/show/487784</link>
				<description>&lt;p&gt;Hey people. I've added a new page today cataloguing our ever growing collection of EVP's, &lt;a href="http://www.sceptictel.co.uk/evps.htm"&gt;click this link to take you to the new EVP page&lt;/a&gt;. Obviously I'm biased but I have to say that we have the best collection of EVP's on the net, at least my search for others examples only resulted in disappointment, although if you have any you wish to share then please feel free to get in touch.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I've also added a conclusion to the &lt;a href="http://www.sceptictel.co.uk/littlegirl.htm"&gt;Young Girl&lt;/a&gt; article.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I've got quite a few things planned and seem to be on a bit of a roll at the moment so keep coming back and hopefully there'll be a steady flow of new content. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Cheers&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Tel&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

				<description>&lt;p&gt;Not much to report but I don't want my visitors missing anything of my ever increasing site. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;On the homepage I have added a "In the spotlight" paragraph which will feature a link to a random article that you may have missed. I have to update this link manually and intend to do so ever month or so. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I've also added some further thoughts to the &lt;a href="http://www.sceptictel.co.uk/universe.htm"&gt;"The Universe"&lt;/a&gt; page. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Thats all for now. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Cheers&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Tel&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

				<title>Finally!</title>
				<author><name>sceptictel</name></author>
				<link>http://www.sceptictel.co.uk/apps/blog/show/343993</link>
				<description>&lt;p&gt;As promised I've finally completed the &lt;a href="http://www.sceptictel.co.uk/littlegirl.htm"&gt;Young girl&lt;/a&gt; article which can be found on the '&lt;a href="http://www.sceptictel.co.uk/athome.htm"&gt;At Home&lt;/a&gt;' page. The article includes some quality EVP's (Electronic Voice Phenomena) which may provide you with some compelling "evidence" of the paranormal...or it may not. Whatever you make of it I hope you find it interesting. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;There will be some pages dedicated to EVP's and an updated Orb page added to the site soon too. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Make sure you visit regularly :)&amp;#160; &lt;br/&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

				<title>Poor performance</title>
				<author><name>sceptictel</name></author>
				<link>http://www.sceptictel.co.uk/apps/blog/show/231832</link>
				<description>My apologies people! I've just been looking through my site and took a look at the &lt;a target="_blank" href="http://www.sceptictel.co.uk/whatsnew.htm"&gt;whats new&lt;/a&gt; page only to find a very sorry four updates for the whole of 2008! This really won't do. I will make more of an effort in 2009, check back soon for a new report and a couple of new pages. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Thanks&lt;br&gt;Tel&lt;br&gt;</description>

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;I received this in an email a week or so a go:&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Hey there&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;;"&gt;I came across your site and think its amazing! Exactly
the kind of site I love to read but didn't think one as good as yours was
around I was really chuffed when&lt;br&gt;
I found it! Its made me want to argue or debate about 20 different topics...&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
Anyway thought I'd share that with you&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;;"&gt;&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;;"&gt;It's always nice to receive praise for my site
as I have put so much work into it. I think the email above is the best praise
I have received regarding my site (online anyway) and I have to agree with the
comments made in the email; my site is fairly unique in the plethora of paranormal sites out there!&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
So thank you for the email and if anyone else would like to send me compliments and praise please feel
free! &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;;"&gt; &lt;!--[if gte vml 1]&gt;&lt;v:shapetype id="_x0000_t75" coordsize="21600,21600"

				<title>Chislehurst Caves</title>
				<author><name>sceptictel</name></author>
				<link>http://www.sceptictel.co.uk/apps/blog/show/231836</link>
				<description>I've read quite a bit about &lt;a name="" target="_blank" href="http://www.chislehurstcaves.co.uk/"&gt;Chislehurst Caves&lt;/a&gt; and have heard the ghost stories that are associated with it, I'd love to do a ghost hunt there but I thought that I'd go along for a family day out to see what it's like first. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;I've been told that the caves are creepy at the best of times and I must admit I am inclined to agree. Walking through the tunnels with our guide, a large group of other visitors and our tilly lamp it did indeed feel pretty creepy. As we walked on with the group we fell to the back and had the opportunity to dwell in the very dark and eerie caves in relative solitude, although only briefley. I must admit that knowing the group was still close by was quite reassuring, theres not many places that I have visited that I would feel uncomfortable walking alone but&amp;nbsp; Chislehurst caves may very well be one of those places. At one point the group got out of sight and as we walked on they hadn't gone the way we had expected! The caves are 22 miles of mazed caverns I'm sure it would be easy to get lost!&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;So considering it was an organised tour it was at times a little unnerving, it did feel as though there were other people there following us in the dark, we thought we heard some noises behind us even when we were at the tail end of the group. I have just gotta get on a Ghost Hunt there....They don't do all nighters anymore though but I reckon that even a few hours with just a small group of believers of Spirit would be enough to convince me that those caves are, as legend has it, haunted. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;We took quite a few photographs which can be viewed in my new &lt;a href="http://www.sceptictel.co.uk/apps/photos/"&gt;Photo Gallery&lt;/a&gt;, many of these pictures have orbs in. Although orbs are still open to much debate I have become increasingly interested in them since the orb picture from &lt;a name="" href="http://www.sceptictel.co.uk/michelhampriory.htm"&gt;Michelham Priory&lt;/a&gt;. Many of the orbs in the pictures from Chislehurst caves are dense and colourful and atleast one of them has a clear (to us) face within it. I'll try to get this on here some time in the not too distant future. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;If you're anywhere near the caves which are located near Bromley in Kent then I'd highly recommend you visit them. If you have done a ghost hunt there then I'd be very interested to hear from you, looking on the net there are a lot of very interesting pictures that have been taken within the caves. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Tel&lt;br&gt;</description>

				<description>Has it really been as long as January since I done anything to this site!!! &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Well the weekend just gone I went on a Paranormal investigation to Coalhouse Fort in Essex and I'll be writing up a report for that soon, but in the meantime I have been making a few modifications to the site to try to make it easier to navigate and just generally neater in appearance and use. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Please revisit o a regular basis. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Tel&lt;br&gt;</description>

				<description>This story was posted in a comment box on one of &lt;a target="_blank" href="http://www.sceptictel.co.uk/investigations.htm"&gt;my investigations&lt;/a&gt; but I thought it'd get a better audience here, it was posted by Avril; a lady that I met at &lt;a name="" target="_blank" href="http://www.sceptictel.co.uk/kelvedon.htm"&gt;Kelvedon Hatch&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;My sister passed away last Feb 07. Within a couple of weeks she came
into my bedroom through a wall (her usual way apparently) a circle of
light came over my tallboy where family photos are placed, a circle of
light came over it, and then an orb appeared going over the photos. I
spoke to her through the mind, after about 5 mins she went back to the
silver light in the wall and disappeared. She then came through to
Alan, whilst at Jo's about 2 weeks later, he gave me info about her
funeral, which was correct according to her 4 children, on her birthday
in September she appeared in a dream to her youngest son, who phoned me
to ask if what she showed him meant anything, I was able to confirm
that she had indeed taken him to the spiritual place and confirm
those that he had met were indeed family, I do hope Tel that this can
give you some confirmation that we do live beyond this Earth Plain.&lt;br&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;It's a good story and I have witnessed and heard of many other accurate, specific readings and "contact" with "spirit". Personally I think it's amazing, it makes me question how it is done; is it Spirit? It seems probable but unfortunately for me it doesn't confirm that there is life after life only that there is so much that we do not understand...Now if I had a similar experience first hand then &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;perhaps&lt;/span&gt; I'd be more convinced...&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Thanks for sharing the story Avril. If anyone else has something that they'd like to share then please feel free to contact me. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Tel&lt;br&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;</description>
