Becoming a webmaster, doing something on-line
Over the years I been approached by various people with some wicked ideas, and have agreed to work on such projects on the proviso they run the actual website and the day to day things and I’d cover the costs and maintenance. How fairer could that be?
I then often find I’ve got the website on-line, dedicated hours, days, weeks and sometimes even months only to receive no communication from the third party. They’d disappear just about the time they were due to actually do some work.
Because of that I’ve got some domain names that could really do with being used so perhaps if your reading this with an interest running a paranormal website or you’ve already got a group and the domain would help then get in touch with me through our support website @
http://support.sjbowers.co.uk
These are some of the domains:
Yorkshire Paranormal:
http://yorkshireparanormal.net
http://yorkshireparanormal.com
http://yorkshireparanormal.co.uk
Northern Paranormal:
http://www.northernparanormal.com
http://www.northernparanormal.co.uk
Ghost Experiences:
http://ghostexperiences.net
http://ghostexperiences.com
http://ghostexperiences.co.uk
Haunted Locations:
http://hauntedlocation.net
http://hauntedlocation.com
http://hauntedlocation.co.uk
There are other domains also but this is a start, perhaps you’d be interested in running your club at one of these domains, or you’d be interested in a joint project.
Haunted Locations:
As you will see there are already two websites on this domain, one is hidden behind a template and is in fact wiki which was going to be a place for people to document historical information, ghost stories, location photos and the other website was going to be a directory of public domain contact details for locations
Ghost Experience:
The original owner of the domain wanted to run a commercial project but backed out.
I was then going to use it as video hosting website similar to that of Google, Youtube but for all things paranormal.
Northern Paranormal and Yorkshire Paranormal were originally for start-up paranormal groups that ended up not paying for the domains or using the website 
Get in contact if your interested in some form of partnership or you wish to run your own website.
The Great British Ghost Hunt – Make-A-Wish Foundation®
Halloween’s passed and you thought it was all over, well your wrong as here comes another paranormal event, perhaps even the event of the year.
Make-A-Wish Foundation® have teamed up with Fright Nights to bring you what could be the paranormal event of the year raising funds for a charitable cause.
I was contacted by Francesca Towson today whom was looking to promote this good cause, now although I’m no fan of commercial companies such as ‘Fright Nights’, I still see and understand the need to raise funds and whom better than Make-A-Wish foundation®.
Anyway she wanted me to post a press release so here are the details from their website.
Oh one last thing, if you can’t make their event, then why not consider just donating direct to them, every penny counts, if you do manage to attend their event you’ll have a hard decision to make, and that would be which on of the fantastic locations to go.

In Sickness
Ohh man I don’t know what happened there, but last Thursday I was writing a blog and **wham** (Batman – TV series styleee) I was hit with a sudden bout of something, not sure if it was a cold or what, but I felt rough.
Still a little off now, but mainly only the cough left.
So if anyone is reading this and wondering where I’ve been, then don’t worry I’m not dead not at least yet………………………
On the plus side I got to spend some quality time with Jennifer Love Hewitt, I mean watching Ghost Whisperer thanks Virgin Media who have the whole of series one on the ‘On Demand’ service, so yes I watched 22 episodes of Ghost Whisperer. If you like me and you enjoyed watching the show when it was on TV, i.e. not back to back then I would avoid doing as I did it kinda ruined it a little for me in all honesty, watching them back to back made me realise just about every single story was the same but different, here’s the plot
- Ghost contacts Melinda or haunts a close friend or family member
- Only her Husband and close friend believe her
- The family of the ghost or the one whom the ghost is wishing to contact, denies the existing of ‘the afterlife’.
- A small amount of information is given and then they believe in life after death
- Ghost passes over and we all go skipping off happily ever after into the distance.
Maybe the endings don’t include the skipping but I’m sure you get the gist, it’s the same thing over and over and over and guess what….. yep you got it over and over and over again, when watching them you may also notice some errors in the story lines between one episode and another.
Despite all that though I still find myself compelled to watch one after another, like I was feeding a drug addiction or something, I couldn’t stop and I suppose others feel the same I know the show has a fairly big following maybe it gives inspiration to people I don’t know, I do know some people believe the show to be factual though, I wonder if they are also Derek Acorah loyalists too? 
Well Series two of Ghost Whisperer started recently on ‘Crap TV’ also known as ‘Living TV’, I try to avoid that channel as a rule to escape the cringing performances on some of the paranormal shows they air, but exceptions may have to be made for the ‘Ghost Whisperer’. lol
