What I was trying to suggest is that if ghosts are electro-magnetic fields of some type they might very well be subject to all sorts of "telluric" forces.

Yeah, but do you really believe Christ's crucifixion created a spate of zombies? What happened to them after they'd risen, for a start?

I wonder if the "dead coming out of their graves" during the earthquake might mean nothing more than that corpses were thrown out of their sepulchers by the quake.

Might anyone in the congregation know if the Greek supports that?

Not many people believe in supernatural or paranormal entities, but there is too much evidence to support the fact there are enitites out there.

Ghosts are realt to those who believe and can see them!

While not exactly a 'Phantom hitch-hiker' I once heard a strange tale about the A386 Tavistock to Plymouth road.

Some years ago a popular daytime TV programme had a Halloween phone in where they asked members of the public to call with their spooky real life experiences.

One caller phoned in and told the story of what happened to them early one morning on the Tavi/Plymouth road. Up until that point I was not really taking much notice but as I have travelled that road many times I took an interest in the callers tale.

It seems that early one morning on his way to work in Plymouth when he spotted a young male and female holding hands and running fast at the side of the road. It looked like they were running from someone or something. Just as the driver was about to draw level with the couple, the female seemed to stumble and fell right into his path. He jammed on his breaks but because of his speed, and the distance from the couple he knew there was no way he could stop in time and he would inevitably hit the woman.

He braced himself for the impact as the woman went under the front of his car, but strangely felt nothing. When he at last came to a stop he looked into the rear view mirror expecting to see a horrible scene, but saw nothing. He got out of the car - no couple, no blood, no trace of any one around.

A bit later in the programme the presenters announced that after the original caller had phoned in and told his spooky story, they'd had several other people call in to say they had witnessed exactly the same thing on exactly the same stretch of road at other times.

This one has always stuck in my head, especially when I am on my own travelling that road late at night, or early in the morning Shocked

There was a report on R4 just now about a road ghost in County Tyrone in Ireland. It seems that people are flocking to the area to see the ghostly old lady, and the local pub is doing well out of it.

The landlord was interviewed and says his son has seen the ghost. Very Happy

Here's a BBC News report.

Ah, thanks, I was hoping that someone else had heard that Radio 4 report. Was I insufficiently awake, or did the pub landlord say that the sighting wasn't of a figure as such, but "just a head" Shocked

?

I'm also fairly sure they said they were getting some "paranormal experts" in later today (don't know where from, but he said he expected them to bring EMF meters) to try and find out more.

The Today programme is on Listen Again, which I'll do when I have time. Then we'll know about the head question. Wink

I cycle back along a cycle track in the middle of country, which passes by a cemetery, the track runs next to the highway. The highway has had it's share road accidents and casualties.

When we moved to the village where the track ends, the locals where amused to know that I'd be cycling along the track at night and they told me about the local phantom hitchhiker that has been picked up along this stretch. It is female, but no one can give any information of when she was last picked up, although two people have stated the police were the last to do so. Obviously she gets into the car, the driver hits the village, turns around to talk to the girl and she has vanished from the car.

I've not seen her, but I have seen "Puffer Jacket", (I actually thought I'd spotted puffer jacket a week or so ago and it's been ages since the last time). Puffer Jacket is one of those white puffer jackets that were popular a few years ago, you can just see what looks like a person wearing one up ahead just about to turn a corner. When you get closer it has gone and there is no way it can get off the track. It's always along the same stretch of about 50meters. I've seen it twice heading north and once heading south, always at night or predawn.

The other thing that has been spoken about is someone knew someone who spotted just a pair of legs walking along the track, a pair of male legs with trousers that vanish past the waist. I'm not that keen to spot this apparition all alone at midnight in the middle of nowhere! Shocked
