Looks like someone is not very happy about a new ride being constructed at Thorpe Park - the favourite theme park of the late Princess Diana of Wales.
Odd events have been reported following preliminary building work on a new ride at the site with paranormal investigators saying that ancient graves have been disturbed leading to unhappy spirits making their feelings known.

UK based BARsoc (British Anomalistic research Society) have sent this open letter to the management team at Thorpe Park:

But what's really going on?

Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence

Sorry, but the first article lost me with this statement:

"Paranormal expert Jim Arnold, who carried out tests at the site, said: "Results were picked up immediately, with orbs, ghostly images in photography and ouija reaction results being strongest around the site where they were proposing to build Storm Surge."

*sigh*

I don't know what's going on, if anything..sounds like a lot of hype to me.

*sigh*

That's how I react to most ghost stories.
How can anyone be an expert in the Paranormal?.

The people at BARsoc seem to know their stuff and make a very valid argument for this being the usual combination of misperception, subjective experiences and vested interests....almost like an episode of Scooby Doo.

I don't react that way to ghost stories..but I do react that way to people who claim to be experts in a field that is constantly changing. Plus, I've noticed the only ones that seem to find it necessary to have the word "expert" put next to their name are those that are trying to sell a load of bull. I've spoken to many people that have studied the paranormal for a long time and the first thing they will say is "there are no experts in the paranormal". There are those who have studied it longer, period.

What I find especially sad is that a woman who was taken way before her time is still being exploited in this way.

The only 100% way of proving or disproving the existance of ghosts i
to die and come back, Any volunteers like to represent TP ??. LOL!!.

That's a very good point PDH
It takes just one - just one dead person who has gone into spirit to come back and subject him/herself to scientific tests in order, once and for all, to prove to the world that we survive physical death.
I think Harry Houdini said that if he could he would come back and no doubt many others have said the same but aside from the highly dubious often fraudulent claims of various mediums - nothing, nada, zilch, zero.
