SOMETHING STRANGE IN THE TESCO CAR PARK


Ghosts can come up in various places, from the ordinary castles and homes to discotheques, but a recent sighting from Dafydd has possibly come up with the winner of the weirdest manifestation area award, the Aberystwyth Tesco car park!

The ghost was a Class 3 or 4, of a girl in vaguely 1990s-sounding clothes from the description Dafydd gave me. He made eye-contact with her, and thought nothing of her, until three seconds later she vanished. I have been in the Car Park and know there is no way a person could be completely out of sight at that location. The person must have been a ghost, who dematerialised after being seen by Dafydd. Unfortunately, he didn't realise the girl was a ghost until it had disappeared, so obviously he wouldn't have any photos!

Now, I'm tempted to go back there and investigate, this time with our equipment of EMF Meters and Voice Recorders, to see if we find anything!

Anyway, this will be the last post for a while, as we have a lot of exams at the moment. This has severely limited our time for both investigating, writing these posts and answering Quora questions. I'll still answer Quora questions, and do the occasional post, but nothing big, like new videos, until the end of June. There should still be some activity though, so don't stop viewing the blog! It'll all be for our benefit!

See you in June, and Happy Hunting!

Ghosts in the Land of Ice and Fire.


Now, I have not posted for about three weeks, sorry about that. However, I do have a valid reason for it. I have been in Iceland! I was there doing both ordinary Iceland and Paranormal related activities, having some cross into both categories. I'm tempted to do a Venn diagram of that, but I'll wait until after the post...

Anyway, as I only left Keflavik and arrived back in Aber yesterday, I though I should tell you about some Icelandic ghosts. Most of the Icelandic ghosts originate in Norse Folklore, such as their concept of the Hidden People, who live in a pocket dimension of sorts. Icelandic people are allegedly the most superstitious people in the Western World, so they do have people who still believe in these old tales, like the tales of King Arthur in North Wales. The story claims these Hidden People are the descendants of Adam and Eve (After the original settlers turned Christian anyway.) who were placed into this pocket dimension (For lack of a better term) as not to displease god.

More recently, a ghost has been sighted on one of Iceland's beaches, very near the famous "Black Beach" of Vik. This ghost has not been "seen" in the traditional sense, or been detected by EMF or any other kind of device, but has been caught on photo. Although no photos of the ghost itself exist, mysterious footprints has been reported on various beaches, but mostly in the area of Vik. Iceland is a famous seafaring nation, so perhaps these are the ghosts of long-dead traders or raiders.

Unfortunately, no ghosts have been reported in either of the hotels I stayed at, which could be taken as both a good or a bad thing! However, as Google only brings up Paranormal articles in my news-feed, I have heard about a party (For lack of a better term) of Class 5 free-floating vapours manifesting in an English night club! Ghosts at a discotech! What more could you want?

That's it for this week/month, and I will be posting "Overtime" to make up for the four or five odd posts I've missed out on. I would have done it over there, but the internet is quite patchy. See you on Monday, with an interesting experience from on of our very own members of Ghostguard! See you then, and Happy Hunting!

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!
