Still Waters Posted April 26, 2017 #1 Share Posted April 26, 2017 A mum has been forced to call in ghostbusters after claiming a spirit entered her child’s bedroom above the tot’s Thomas the Tank Engine bed. Kirsty Lee was left in hysterics after she says she found her screaming son Kyran being dragged along the floor by an invisible entity. She called a team of spectral experts, who held a two-hour long seance to banish her unwanted guests. “I was petrified to death - I couldn’t move,” said the mum-of-one. http://www.gazettelive.co.uk/news/teesside-news/mum-calls-ghost-experts-banish-12932441 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LV-426 Posted April 26, 2017 #2 Share Posted April 26, 2017 Well, it's the first time I've called on Ray Parker Jr. on UM, which is quite a mystery in itself with some of the stories we get on here, but... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XenoFish Posted April 26, 2017 #4 Share Posted April 26, 2017 The first thing that comes to mind is child abuse. She was abusing her kid and decided to blame a ghost on it. That or she just wanted attention. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SecretSanta Posted April 27, 2017 #7 Share Posted April 27, 2017 My first instincts would be to take my child to the doctor not calling a paranormal investigator, especially not one nam d Spooky Julie. The kid was vomiting all night. He could have been having some sort of convulsion or seizure and it only appeared to a scared mother that he was being dragged across the floor. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luca-RoseElsie-Raemom1921 Posted April 27, 2017 #8 Share Posted April 27, 2017 Your child was unwell and your first thought is oh better get a paranormal investigator in? My first thought would be go to or have a Dr come to check my child. High fever can make a person have a seizure. As for the little boy saying he saw a man in his room 1 it could have been fever induced and 2 it's a child they have strong imaginations. It reminds me of a couple (they were on the show The Drs) who filmed their child standing on the side of his crib rocking and then falling back screaming when he did. The parents claimed their child was possessed or a ghost/demon pushed him. Kids fall over and when they do they scream out of shock or they got hurt, nothing paranormal there 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Her jittery ramblings (by trying to convince herself) and nervous body language, told me she was hiding something else. Child protection services need to be called in as far as I'm concerned. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like we have come fiull circle and now the skeptics want paranormal claimants burned at the stake (so to speak). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You just don't see it through an objective lens do you. You've got those ghost blinders on. Maybe you should try looking at things skeptically. Our side of the fence has a lot more perks. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apyr Posted April 27, 2017 #20 Share Posted April 27, 2017 (edited) Welp, I hope she called in the original cast, instead of the one from the crappy 2016 remake. Edited April 27, 2017 by Hi-NRG Eurobeat Man 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not to be rude but it seems every time someone disagrees with you or other posters about something being paranormal, you jump on them and say things like they are skeptics. Ofcourse there is always a change something cannot be explained how ever it should not be the first thing jumped on to. Back on topic the paranormal investigator calling herself Spooky Julie screams out she wants attention and 15mins of fame, not she wants to help others find the possible cause of their problem.

I have no problems with skeptics. I am an open-minded skeptic myself. Skepticism is a good thing (but not knee-jerk attack to any claimant).
