My friend John, goes on ghost walks. He likes to find things out for himself. He pays no heed to those who tell elaborate stories about what ghosts they have seen, and TV haunting programmes are something he just laughs at. He has paid out for ghost hunting events which have left him cold, so now he searches for himself, and it doesn’t cost him a penny. Furthermore, it is more rewarding.
He has found quite a few places to go around the Yorkshire, Nottinghamshire, and Derbyshire countryside. He has also made a few friends with like minds. These are people who are fed up with being duped. So, together, they spend at least one day or night a week in pursuit of haunted places.
They go armed with cameras and recorders, but have found the best equipment to be their own senses. They have become in tune with their own sixth senses and find it very useful. When approaching areas of interest they feel tingling sensations, get cold shivers, or the hairs on the back of their necks stand on end. They notice cold spots and areas where the birds are quiet. They compare thoughts and feelings to see if they are all getting the same sensations and they trust each other, and no one is stage managing the events.
They are very interested in orbs, which from time to time appear on photos they have taken whilst walking in dark woods. They may appear up in the trees or out in the open or on high. There seems, as yet, no rhyme or reason why they see them or what they are. Some are white and some have a blue hue to them. Some appear to have what looks almost like a face in their centre.
If orbs are a naturally occurring event they will find out, and if not they will keep on searching. A search for the truth can be a lifetime’s work…
