    Ok so the date is set for this and it will be a one night event.

    The question is:

    Do we have it as an Investigation like last time (but better)?
    or
    Do we have it as a social event for a dozen lucky Paranormal Forum users?

    I'm easy either way as long as we pick one or the other. The last time, while fun, seemed to me at least to be a bit too much of a muddle of both. (That's not to say that we couldn't have paranormal aspects to a social night or social aspects to a paranormal night)


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


    I agree, either a proper investigation or a social night with paranormal elements.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 265 ✭✭Shinners23


    Ok this sounds good - either/or is good. How did Aug 12th go guys? What ye think of the Castle and any happening?


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


    Theres a thread here: http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=2054975923

    It has reports from most that went. Still have to throw up a few pictures though.

    And unless I'm mistaken shinners you still have to report in on the sender/reciever experiment ;)

    I have just posted a reply on that thread on the sender/receiver.

    So Shinners are you up for this trip?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 412 ✭✭dib


    Hey guys. I'm a newbie here but very interested. Is there some way I could get involved with this or should I wait until I've participated in the discussions a little more? Investigation is something that has always interested me but until now I have never made a move to get involved.

    Cheers.


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


    Well we've yet to decide on whether this will be an investigation or a social event but sure as long as your over 18 theres no reason why you cant get involved.

    Its very early to be organising this but seeing as i've booked the castle i may as well see what the interest is.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 412 ✭✭dib


    I saw the back of my 18th some time ago....! :) I'd be very interested in participating or helping out in any way.

    Good to hear it KittyKat, you've been missed lately. And while you're about would you prefer it as an investigation or a knees up?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 994 ✭✭✭kshiel


    Can you count me in as a maybe for now.

    Bump \o/


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,165 ✭✭✭ladybirdirl


    Me please and I think piss up so I can get 6th and monkeyfudge off that awful beer!!

    Seriously, if there's a few newbies like me, why not do the social event with a few bits of paranormal stuff thrown in. All you old timers can show off to your heart's content!!

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


    Ok so social with a bit of paranormal thrown in ...wait thats pretty much how it usually turns out!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 412 ✭✭dib


    Bit of both sounds good to me also! Good to see I'm not the only newbie ladybirdirl!! Feel a bit better now! :D

    Hiya dib,

    No you're not alone, I'm only a newbie. Could turn into an interesting night with a few newbies around I reckon.

    Oh and pay no attention whatsoever to these old timers!!(he he):D

    At this stage I have to point out at this (just like the others) will not be done on a first come first served basis. Once I start getting numbers I will probably be asking people to drop me and email. It usually set 10 for this place but last time with 8 it went very well. Like i said its early days on this one.

    if there is a spot free I'd like to take it please, i should have more gear by then, by gear I mean electrical equipment, if there is not or if someone else wants to go i dont mind as i have been and may be again between then and now.


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


    Still interested if its a more social event? mind you last one was fairly casual.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,110 ✭✭✭Mr Rivers


    I'd be interested! What'd be goin on?

    What are you trying to say 6th? This will not be on a first come first served basis? Confused now

    Ladybird:confused:


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


    Theres been mix-up and problems in the past - no reflection on anyone of course.


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


    that's the way he does it ladybird. TBH when i saw it on the other thread for the first time in Ross Castle 12 aug trip, I said to myself what does that mean? and it can be easy to see this statement as if it directed towars "you". However when you put yourself in 6th position, who knows who people are, he may know that some people are not suited or he may not know them at all, to some degree regardless of what bits of paper we all sign 6th as some level of a duty of care towards himself and everyone who goes on a trip that he has been good enough to organise. You might be a nice person and so might I but its still only a might at the end of the day and everyone on the trip will be better off/safer as a result of 6ths statement.


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


    >_> what he said.

    Safety is my first priority, my own and everyone elses.

    No thats not to say that if someone doesnt get a place on a trip its because I think they are a psycho. I've been contacted in the past by people as young as 15, people who want to do ouija boards and people who (on looking at their posts) I think may be doing it for the wrong reasons. At the end of the day i want to have people there i am comfortable with and that will work well as part of a group.

    If people have a problem with my safety concerns then they really arent the people i want to be in a dark and potentially dangerous situation with. They always have the option of organising trips themselves, I am just a poster here and anyone else is free to do what i do.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 412 ✭✭dib


    Nothing but good sense right there. Obviously, anyone organising such an event
    is taking a serious risk by including people they have never met.

    Nobody knows how people will react to any given situation, especially one as
    highly charged and potentially stressful as a paranormal investigation(no matter
    how social and informal the setting). As I'm sure you're all aware, this can
    pose a grave risk to the person in question and those around them. While the
    responsibility may not legally land on the organiser's shoulders, it will surely
    be felt or assumed nonetheless.

    No offence taken at all, and if I'm not in attendance, good luck!!

    The fact you from Tallaght helps though (wink wink nudge nudge).

    Possibly the first time in 28 years that a Dublin 24 address may actaully count in my favour!! lol
