LOCAL LEGENDS

As I mentioned a couple of posts ago, the new local legends is on the mysterious "The Plane".

Now, the plane is another ghost, but one with a difference. The plane is, unsurprisingly, the ghost of a plane which crashed in the Plynlympon mountains in Ceredigion. The inhabitant was Army Air Corps pilot Xenephon E Eugenedes, who crashed,  and died, in 1945. The plane wreck is still lying around on the side of one of the mountains, despite many parts being stolen or vandalised.

Nobody is sure when The ghost started appearing, but I guess it wouldn't have been long after the crash occurred. A witness named Paul Jay saw the plane and expected to see the crash through his rear-view mirrors, but it simply disappeared.  I do not know when this sighting was, or of any other convincing sightings. It's possible it may not manifest anymore, but that would seem surprising.

A good topic to think about is whether the ghost of Eugenedes remains in the plane, as a Class 3 ghost himself, or if the plane "flies itself" for lack of a better term. It's also possible his ghost is separated from the plane, and is possibly wandering around Plynlymon looking for a way back home, although as he has never been seen, I doubt this.

The following link takes you to a website on Xenophon Eugenedes, which I got some of my information from.

I hope you enjoyed this Local Legends post, as I noticed they aren't actually that popular! I'm not going to stop doing them though. So goodbye and Happy Hunting!

EXPANSION AND SOME OTHER NEWS

Greetings Paranormal Fans! This is going to be a medium-sized post on our recent expansion, plus some other news regarding ghosts and such.

Firstly, we have expanded into things other than the paranormal. Dafydd has recently mentioned something about sound videos on murders, of both the mysterious kind (Which I personally am interested in) to some that are simply gruesome. (which I find slightly too terrifying.) Whether we'll have any videos on these in the future or not has not been decided, but I'd say there will be. Watch this space!

Secondly, our videos on Ceredigion Museum have begun, and after we finish, we'll upload them. This will still take a month or so, and I apologise for this long wait between videos. Hopefully it won't happen again. All three of us have exams you see, so we have had to stop our Investigations to study and revise for them. It many go down to one post a week, but probably won't. I'll keep you informed on this blog.

Thirdly, Ghostguard will soon be going to a public event! Near us lies Llywernog Silver Lead Mines, which used to be mines back in the 1800s. They hold a bimonthly event (This year anyway...) under the name "Paranormal Investigations" so we decided to go. If you're around Ceredigion in the middle of May, then why not turn up? It sounds pretty good, if you ask us.

That's all the news we have, be sure to check back on Tuesday for a new Local Legends on "The Plane." That's all for now, Happy Hunting!

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

We here at Ghostguard have a Quora account, where we answer questions on many aspects of the paranormal. However, these questions are all very similar and often count as advice. So, in case you wanted to find out more about us, we made this blog post of Frequently Asked Questions we aren't asked over on Quora.



Q1. How many of you have actually seen a ghost and not just detected one?



A1. Actually, only Dafydd has seen a ghost in "real-time", not in a photo or anything like that. Fede has only seen them in photos and videos, only one of which he actually took. Tom has only come across high EMF readings!



Q2. How do I hunt for ghosts?


A2. I wont answer this one now, as I'm dedicating an entire post to it later in the week. be sure to catch it.


Q3. Do you charge?


A3. A good paranormal investigation team never charges their clients. Ones who do are in the business for the wrong reasons. We may charge if we have had to travel a long way, but that won't be much.


Q4. What got you into the Paranormal?


A4. Fede got into it after he met another kid with many experiences of the paranormal. I won't name him here, but the stories will come in a future post.


Dafydd has had contact with ghosts since he was much younger, and has never lost interest since.


Tom came along for the fun, now having more substantial thoughts on the subject after hearing of the Consti Woman (Although we didn't find evidence of her, not even an EMF spike!)


Q5. Are you ever going to release another video?


A5. We are working on one now, we've just had three lots of snow due to the Beast from the East, and it's smaller cousins. It involves Ceredigion Museum and it's Class 1 inhabitants, and maybe even a Class 3 if we ever get close enough!


Q6. What else do you believe in?


A6. All three of us believe in aliens and Dafydd is an expert on mysterious disappearances and the like. Tom and Dafydd also have an interest in Musical Theatre. Fede just watches his VHS of The Real Ghostbusters he found in a loft.

A BRIEF UPDATE!

Hello Paranormal Fanatics! This is just a brief update proclaiming that we will now be posting two blog posts a week instead of one. There's been a little bit of weather problems over here, involving a storm called "the Beast from the East", so we haven't been able to start any film-able investigations recently, but some should be on the way soon!

Blog posts to look out for will include "What Ghostbusters got right" and some scientific proof regarding the phenomena of Ley Lines. Don't miss out! See you then and Happy Hunting from Ghostguard!

WHY YOU SHOULD NEVER USE A OUIJA BOARD.

If you have seen any horror films about ghosts, it's very likely they had a Ouija Board in the plot. (Or even in the title, looking at you "Ouija") Lots of Paranormal Investigators use these to contact with ghosts, and they have become an odd part of Ghost Culture.

However, as with many aspects of the Paranormal, Ouija Boards are VERY dangerous. One of the most famous incidents involving Ouija Boards is the Brazilian University incident of 2012. During this incident, the students who were using the board were possessed and began to talk in a strange language. One of the students was exercised by a priest, and she vomited after the exorcism was completed, which is apparently aa usual occurrence.

The other problem with Ouija Boards is that, if they summon a Class 7 daemon, you could in theory end the World. The upside is that Class 7s have never been proved to exist, even less so than any other type of ghost! A Class 7 has obviously never appeared in this world already, as if one had, we'd have now about it by now, but that doesn't lessen the risk, as there is still some evidence, such as the daemon "Mama" first contacted back in the 90's

There have been cases of the users of Ouija Boards dying too, so please don't take the risk! Leave ghosts to the experts! Stay safe guys, and of course Happy Hunting!

HAUNTED HOUSES - TIPS.

Welcome Ghostguard fans! Do any of you have a ghost in your house? If you do, then call some Paranormal Investigators, but if you don't know, we've created a list of the classic things to look out for if a paranormal entity is manifesting in your home.


1. Cold Spots - A typical phenomena is the so-called Cold Spots that don't seem to have any rational explanation. We know that ghosts are able to manipulate the temperature of their surroundings. If you actually see a ghost, having a thermal camera would be brilliant! If you don't have one of these, never mind.


2. High EMF Readings - High EMF Meter readings are also associated with ghosts, with ghosts causing high spikes in electromagnetic fields. To check for ghosts, simply scan around with an EMF Meter (Available from any decent hardware store, Ghost Hunters Store or eBay. For good results, don't scan anywhere near a fridge, PC or any electric cables. For better ghost proof, scan in a cold spot.

3. EVP or Ghost Box results - Although you'll unlikely have a Ghost Box unless you're an investigator yourself, you probably won't have a ghost box, but any recording device, even a tape recorder as I used to use, would do. Record, and maybe you'll pick up some disembodied voices.

4. Never do anything spiritual - It won't do anything. However, Ouija Boards seem to. Definitely don't use one of these though. I'll explain why in a future post.

5. Who ya gonna call? - Just get in some Paranormal Investigators. Just in case it's malicious. Nobody wants to be killed by a ghost.

So there you have it, five tips to check if your house is haunted. Go forth and use these tips if you need to, or even if you simply want to. Just don't do anything dangerous.

Happy Hunting, and see you next post!
