    Hi guys,

    Now I know I say Im going to do a lot of paranormal related activities and they don't happen. Like organise investigations for example. I think the problem is that doing an investigation requires a lot of time, energy, effort, money, co-ordination and dedication. Along with willingness to meet up with a load of strangers in a dark car park up the mountains, which, lets face it is not going to happen.

    So Im in the process of compiling a database driven website. Im just putting the content management system together at the moment, will probably take a few days.

    I was wondering would anyone be interested in contributing small articles to it to promote themselves a bit? Perhaps some sort of podcast.

    This isn't a group led thing and unlike most things in the paranormal community, Im not after a cult of personality style thing aka "Chief Expert Paranormal Leader Riamfada" and the like. Just a website where people can contribute to it where everyone is equal.

    I think, and maccored might agree with me here, the furore of every tom dick and harry being a "paranormal investigation team" is over. Most of the Facebook pages are stagnant, the web domains have expired and the dreams of being the next TV phenomenon have been dashed.

    So what says it? Ill put the frame of the site together but would people be interested in contributing?

    Thanks For Reading

    I'll contribute anything I can. Plus theres a web radio station still looking for interested paranormal people for a show ... you could also broadcast the podcast on that (plus it comes with full itunes podcasting etc.)

    would be interested in showcasing a few of the more interesting parabnormal things I've spotted in the last few years alright :)

    Getting there. Thanks guys, got it all covered with hosting. Just developing a front end now that pulls articles from a database. Next thing is to develop a basic backend where people can upload content and it goes into the database queue.

    just use wordpress and the upload plugin - no point reinventing the wheel
