Investigation - Ross Castle - 12th August

    Paranormal Investigation: Ross Castle - Saturday 12th August 2006

    Myself, Stevenmu & ODonnnell will be heading the trip.

    Ross Castle is on the Cavan/Meath boarder.

    The night will cost approximately €53 each incl. breakfast on Sunday morning. There are cooking facilities, beds, etc. This is a working guesthouse but we will have it to ourselves for the night - guaranteed.

    This is not a first come first served trip. It has to go on my credit card so I'm not leaving myself open to people not showing. I may try work out people getting payment to me in advance to cut down on this. If people are interested post here.

    This will be a one night event with a group of 10 people.

    Please only out yourself forward if:

    a) you are available on this date

    b) you can get to the Castle (transport isnt provided but i'm sure some lifts can be sorted amoung us)

    c) you are willing to pay approximately €53 (this is ball park though not likely to change)


    Sorry it has to be done differently that the usual but this is set to be a great night and the place is pretty much booked solid for the summer.

    Yeah there is another thread here: http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=2054951176

    Its more for Ross in general so we'll keep this one for arranging the trip?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,934 ✭✭✭✭Stoner


    ahh 6th that's the day I get back from holliers! you waited till I left before you organised the trip!
    Anyway I can't make it even thought I said I'd go on the next one , but I wont be here, thanks to all for organising this.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,633 ✭✭✭stormkeeper


    That's like a week before I'm going to be in Ireland, you bastard! ;)


    Seriously though, leave it with me, and I'll see what I can do... I might actually stay in Ireland for 5-6 weeks now, instead of the 4-5 I was initially planning... Oh sugar... I just realised that I need to be at Charleville for the 5th & 6th... this is turning out to be mad now!

    Here, leave it with me; I think I need to arrange a few things...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,934 ✭✭✭✭Stoner


    any budge on the date lads? maybe a week or two later?

    Its pretty much booked up for weekends, i'm trying to sort something bu ti'm away from the 18th August & Odonnell is away alot in September/October (right?).

    Kennett will be doing a Charleville trip in September from what i know but thats another thread ;)

    Like i said i'll recheck the dates.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,934 ✭✭✭✭Stoner


    it's fine , Heffo9 and I wont be around during those dates, but we'll go there another time, don't change anything, if you guys sorted that out the other night then just leave it the way you have it, I understand that it's difficult to sort these things out sometimes.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 981 ✭✭✭tj-music.com


    I will most definitely come. I just need someone to get me there and take me back home as I never had a drivers licence.

    Actually we didnt really talk about Ross the other night. I rang them yestherday and they told me that it was pretty much booked out. Was lucky to get the night we did, its a working B&B so i guess its not as easy to get as Charleville.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,247 ✭✭✭✭6th


    As i said this isnt an open investigation as such so once we see who's interested we'll pm people an invite. If it goes well theres a good chance there will be another in either late sept or oct.

    So, were still going with ten,.....


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,247 ✭✭✭✭6th


    Like i said its not a first come first served we'll be letting know closer to the time. Its not just open to boardsies.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,962 ✭✭✭✭tk123


    This sounds cool - I'd be interested!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 599 ✭✭✭New_Departure06


    When you're there maybe you could try to set up some controlled-experiments e.g. place object on piece of paper and draw around it. Then leave it alone perhaps in another room where it won't be disturbed. Then return and see if anything has moved the object off the outline?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,040 ✭✭✭odonnell


    yeah mate im gone summer hols to sweden two weeks in september, and then over to glasgow in october... basically the lead in to my 'busy' time of year, but given the fact ive not stopped in about three months...the term 'busy' is a laugh.

    Jools isnt gonna go for it, as you know shes a photographer not a spirit chaser... although damn, her camera would be handy. But since i mentioend it to her just then shes giving me the evils.

    Ill hook up with ya mark, and steven, soon i hope to get it all onto the table. Ive got another possible attendant too.
    Drop me a line guys, email is best...

    Ok as it stands it as follows:

    6th
    Stevenmu
    ODonnell
    Kennett

    with tk123 as a maybe

    As i need 10 people for this and its only 4(ish) weeks away I went on EastCoast laast night and offered up places to some listeners if they want to get in touch with me - this means if anyone is interested they want to let me know for definate very soon before it fills up. Louise, one of the presenters for the show and co-founder of the Irish Tarot Academy is interested in coming along which will bring alot to the trip.

    Is there something up that i dont know about? People are usually jumping at these trips:confused:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,246 ✭✭✭✭Riamfada


    any room for me? can i play with the radios again? the prospect of spending the night in a tower house appeals to me


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,247 ✭✭✭✭6th


    You're in Grimes ...... was waiting to see if you took an interest ;)

    Ok so its:

    6th
    Stevenmu
    ODonnell
    Kennett
    monkeyfudge
    Grimes
    Louise
    kshiels
    tk123

    1 space left. Anyone now with an interest can pm me as there is 1 place and possibly alot more interested people (not all on boards) so its not a case of first come first served - sorry).

    *Edit: oops forgot kennetts name on the list but he didnt spot it ;)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,633 ✭✭✭stormkeeper


    We're going to Ross Castle, we're going to Ross Castle! *dances* :D


    Nah seriously, I'm gonna be interested in seeing what happens there...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,246 ✭✭✭✭Riamfada


    i know two swedish pole dancers that might be up for it....


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,633 ✭✭✭stormkeeper


    Hmm... sounds good :D


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 173 ✭✭imprezza


    I'd love to come along with you guys, 2 of us. I thought advertising is banned from the boards didn't I see someone being banned and hassled over it?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,246 ✭✭✭✭Riamfada


    6th pays the Mods in sexual favours in order to "bend" the rules a little bit. Its a paranormal trip for the users of the forum, none of the €€€ goes to 6th's pockets (as far as we know :D ) so then its cool.


  • Moderators, Society & Culture Moderators Posts: 9,688 Mod ✭✭✭✭stevenmu


    Exactly, it's not a product or a service being offered. It's just something that some of us do and we invite others to come along and do it too. The castle costs, iirc €540 for the night, that cost is spread evenly between everyone going.

    It's kind of like getting a group together for a football match at an all-weather pitch. Someone gets the idea, organises it and books the pitch, and everyone throws a few quid in to pay for it.

    6th:

    Is the price going to go up if you dont get your quota of ten people. I think the 53 euro is a bit steep which has led to the slow demand for places on the trip. Its all economics you see :) .
    Anyway to anybody thats in two minds about this there is usually fantastic fun to be had on these trips whether there be heavy activity in the location or just a few bumps in the night. Half of it for me is the fantastic weather out there and the historical aspect of the trips.Well worth the price if you ask me. Id be honoured if I could give the historical background of the place when we get there.


    I'll also be coming alone on this trip so no minding my girlfriend for the night (who has boohoo left Ireland for 3 years as of monday :( and I will bring some equipment this time, promise. Also that means that my car has 4 available places for anyone that needs it, even if my wheels arn't as jazzy as stephenmu's )
