Two short stories in this news update, requests for ghosts and help respectively.

Ghosts in Your House?

If so then Back 2 Back productions might have the answer.   They are looking for properties that are haunted and whose owners might want them investigated to see what could be uncovered! This would contribute to a paranormal TV series they are producing for UKTV. They are looking for people to take part, so

  • Have you had any ghostly goings-on in your home?
  • Would you like a top team of paranormal investigators to help?

If so, please email the team at [antibot mailto=”[email protected]”].
