Spielberg Plans a Spooky Social Site
I’m not sure what the reasoning is behind this, but apparantly Steven Spielberg is busy developing a new social network where people will be able to get together online and share tales of their experiences with the supernatural and/or extraterrestrial.

Well, I haven’t been blogging much lately. Did you notice? Did you miss me? I’ve been busy with a few things one of which was the second draught of this novel thingummy-jig that I have been trying to write. I’ve finished that now. Draught two ran to 54 000 words. I can’t even remember what…
Ooh! I Just Found The Gorgon
I recently downloaded the free DivX player because I was curious to see what the quality was like if I watched something that had been recorded in the DivX format. I was pretty impressed. When I downloaded the player a few other things came with it. One of them was an internet shortcut for Stage6….
Trying To Find The Best Browser
My laptop has been getting a lot slower over the past few months and it has been rather annoying. I have Norton Antivirus installed and I swear by it, for stopping viruses. It is not so good when it comes to spyware though, and so I have also installed a specialist spyware remover and it…

Seasonal Spectres: At Kempston Manor (Bedfordshire)
Kempston Manor is now offices, but in the nineteenth century it was a family home. One Christmas Eve the owners of the manor had been out to a ball. On their return home, their young son ran out to meet them, only to be knocked down by their carriage. This was not only a very…
Seasonal Spectres: At The Travellers Rest
Yuletide visitors to The Travellers Rest at Brough, Derbyshire, might have the opportunity to see Christmas spirits in a whole new light, because the pub is reputably haunted by the ghost of a farm girl. The poor girl was the recipient of unwanted advances one Christmas Eve, and while trying to fend off a love-struck…
