Tweance, the Twitter seance, 'contacts Michael Jackson and Kurt Cobain'

The Tweance, the Twitter séance, has reported that Michael Jackson is “at peace”, and Kurt Cobain thinks Dave Grohl is a good drummer.

The Tweance: Tweeting beyond the grave Photo: TWITTER The Hallowe’en publicity stunt, carried out by “psychic” Jayne Wallace on behalf of a London fancy dress store, also claimed to have contacted Kurt Cobain and River Phoenix.

William Shakespeare, sadly for English Literature students hoping to get a few insights, was too weak to be contacted, apparently.

Cobain’s ghost revealed to Miss Wallace and her “psychic sisters” that Dave Grohl is a “good drummer” and that people should buy their children real guitars, rather than Guitar Hero computer games.

Tweance, the Twitter seance, aims to contact Michael Jackson

Tweance, the online attempt to contact Michael Jackson beyond the grave, is being billed as the world’s first Twitter séance.

The move is a paranormal publicity stunt by a fancy dress shop in central London ahead of Hallowe’en.

Jackson – booked for his first posthumous appearance on 30 October, the day before Hallowe’en – is only one of the dead celebrities the Tweancers hope to contact.

The organisers, including “psychic” Jayne Wallace, also have their spectral sights set on Patrick Swayze and Farrah Fawcett, both of whom died this year.

Ghosts Exorcised From Irish House

THE ghosts of six children have been 'cleared' from a house in Tullyallen, the Drogheda Independent can reveal.

The house is thought by one of the mediums who carried out the clearing to have been built on the site of an ancient graveyard or soldiers' encampment.

The terrified homeowner, who doesn't want his identity revealed, says he can now sleep for the first time in almost ten years.

'I bought the house from new nine years ago, and although I've always been a good sleeper, I've never slept well in this house,' he says.

'I could never see anything, but I always knew there was something, or someone there, and you could really feel the presence very strongly.'

It finally reached the stage where he had to seek advice and contacted local mediums, who agreed to visit the house.

Spookiest Spots In Britain Revealed

If you're at all scared of ghosts, make sure you steer clear of Kent.
The county is home to more paranormal beings than anywhere else in Britain, a study revealed today.
It also suggests you're most likely to glimpse a UFO in Yorkshire, while the country's most famous werewolf lives in Staffordshire.

A phantom hitchhiker getting into motorists' cars, a Lancashire time-warp slip road that takes you back to the 1940s and the ghost of a one-legged priest were among the reported incidents. The findings come from the work of paranormal researcher Lionel Fanthorpe, 74, from Cardiff.

He has analysed sightings from across the country over the past 25 years to come up with a list of Britain's spookiest places.

Paranormal experts probe stately home

A GROUP of paranormal experts spent the weekend at Muncaster Castle debating whether things really do go bump in the night.

The conference, last weekend was organised by Dr Jason Braithwaite from Birmingham University who has been investigating Muncaster’s “ghosts” for more than 17 years.

Top scientists, sceptics, psychics and believers in the paranormal discussed a range of topics including ghosts, UFOs, out of body experiences and conspiracy beliefs.

Dr Braithwaite said after the event: “The conference really has exceeded my expectations. This event was unusual in bringing both sceptics like me and believers together to discuss these controversial subjects. The quality of the speakers and audience has been outstanding.

Bell County Ghostbusters

Some normal Bell County folks say they are dead serious about investigating the paranormal. These mothers, students and working people known as Central Texas Ghost Hunters are adamant they are nothing like the TV shows, or movies, or those repetitive song lyrics, "Who you gonna call?"

Their mission: build a ghost database akin to what police do with criminals and their fingerprints.

"This is paranormal research. This is not thrill seekers. This is not like a ghost hunting tour, like you go and people take you out to cemeteries. We don’t do anything like that," said Brandy Runyan, 30, founder and team leader. "We are legitimate. We are legal. We don’t trespass. We’re registered with the state of Texas. We’re an unincorporated non-profit."
