Re: Searching for phantoms
I couldn't possibly say.....however were you type "U2 One Glastonbury" into Youtube....quite possibly the very best thing I can ever ever remember seeing and then the lights went out ......metaphorically......my wife woke me from a ditch in the pouring rain in the early hours.....disgraceful behaviour for an ageing hippy but apparently I was still smiling......marvellous.....anyway....back to varnishing my latest fishing thing here....oh....and September for Wells then.. ..I will bring the Ouija Board !

How delightful. If there are no spooks present, we'll conjure our own!

Re: Searching for phantoms
I'd love to see something like that, it would be fascinating. Having heard about ball lightning, marsh gas or whatever it may be, to witness one first hand would be a thrill. Its odd that our first reaction is one of fear, a throw back from our ancient selves running rather than reasoning I suppose but when you've got over the initial shock you would have to think that you are absolutely privileged to have witnessed such a rare event.Gary Bills wrote:My brother likes to go for crafty rural canal carp, and walking back one night he saw a fiery, glowing ball - orange in colour, rise before him on the tow path and drift over the canal, where it vanished. He thinks "marsh gas" although the experience shook up up a little....
He said it was easily the size of a football...
I wonder...
