EVP and things that go bump in the night

I spent several days wondering whether to write this or not and when you read it, you’ll probably know why. It’s been over two years now since my mother died and I miss her just as much as I did then.  However unusually as it might sound to some people I get the feeling that… Continue reading EVP and things that go bump in the night

One of the things I used to enjoy doing was collecting autographs. I have collected autographs since 1982 and probably have over 100 now.  Most of them are sci-fi related but I have autographs from the world of sports, tv and cinema, music and even politics. I’m not a big believer in paying for autographs… Continue reading How to collect autographs… mostly Star Trek & how I beat the odds!
