Woman on 2fm plagued by Poltergeist

6th

ok so not to be confused with the case in Cork this is a woman in Finglas on the radio today. Claiming to be followed by activity. Her son set up a camera etc and caught sounds and a pic of an orb (i know!). I got a call about it but i'm in work and its as much as i know so far. Anyone here this early or have more info?

maccored

that wasnt on the gerry ryan show per chance? they had some talk of ghosts this morning.

Not much to go on - sounds and an orb. neither of those are terribly paranormal.

Another lady rang in after the one first mentioned.I didn't get full story but from what I heard It goes like this:

She was seeing something in her house (lived here for ten years) a shadow type figure which was grayish, she said it felt like it was a male presence. Felt like it was watching her, following her etc. Anyway she didn't tell her family about this.

She finds her daughter crying one day and asks her what is bothering her. The daughter says she has seen stuff in the house and describes the same thing the lady herself was seeing. So she rings her husband and says we have both seen stuff in the house..... husband says Iv been experiencing this also. He describes same thing both mother and daughter had seen.

They get the priest in and get the house blessed, put up picture of Sacred Heart. And its all fine again.

Thats just short version of story but was interesting. Was another woman on Gerry Ryan Show yesterday too who's little boy had seen a lady with a head scarf. I don't have time to type that up now, maybe someone else heard her story too??

6th

great to hear this stuff as i dont get to listen in.

MrMojoRisin

I only caught the tail end of it after a mate of mine alerted me about it. Gerry was talking to some woman who's on a paranormal team, and then briefly to some lady named Breda, whose house used to be haunted (so they said anyway).

The woman from the paranormal investigation team said the fella who lives in that house in Finglas saw a spirit man standing at the end of his bed one night and that he also managed to capture the image of a ghost on the camcorder. There was talk about disembodied voices present in the house as well - some of which were caught on EVP devices. One of the things 'it' said was, "I am here".

The woman also said that a female team member, who had called to the house as part of their investigations, was followed home by a spirit and into The Shelbourne Hotel when she was at a function there with a friend in mid-February. Apparently herself and the friend were followed by the spirit when they went down to the toilets. They could have flushed the spirit down the toilet! :pac: I don't recall the woman on the radio explaining how they got rid of the spirit, or if they even did send it on its merry way.

There's a podcast of the show here. It's the 23rd of March one under the name 'Helen'.

Who the **** is "Dave Sherry". Another "i have done one investigation in Wicklow gaol and now Im a paranormal type investigator & expert?" and whats this about "a ghost followed me home", did an actual paranormal investigator really say that?

Ok to reply to your above post,
I was that lady that was talking on the gerry ryan show. So to clear up a few things that you mentioned there.

he woman from the paranormal investigation team said the fella who lives in that house in Finglas saw a spirit man standing at the end of his bed one night and that he also managed to capture the image of a ghost on the camcorder. /B]
This was a separate case i was talking about, not the one in finglas.

I have never spoken to anyone from this house so i could not have said that. if you go back over the show as you put the link up you will see that.

I don't recall the woman on the radio explaining how they got rid of the spirit, or if they even did send it on its merry way.

Again this is another separate case i was talking about, and this woman is not a team member it was a complete different person i was talking about once again. I never said i had been to the house in the interview, as i have not been, no investigator was followed home, again a different case i was talking about

Fair enough. I didn't realise that.

As I said on my other post, I only caught the tail end of the whole story and I was also working on something at the same time (hence, my attention was scattered).

Yeah, well, that link I put up actually only features the woman with the 'haunted' house in Finglas, so how the f uck am I going to be able to go over the entire show on that and rectify my terrible mistakes in relating what I thought I heard?

As I said above, I only caught THE END of the entire story, so I obviously missed all those vital details. There's no need to get all jumped up and defensive about it.

I didn't get all the details and all the things in the right context, etc, etc. Life goes on.

Traze

Well by the way you where describing the interview, ye would think you listened to the whole show. As you seemed to have alot of details for someone who only tuned in at the last min.

As for using bad language in your post, very mature of you

Talk about the papers taking things out of context

You got your facts wrong at the end of the day. so do not try twist this as me jumping the gun

What was with the dialup modem noises. They using dialup over in donnybrook? Lol no wonder they lost signal

Traze

Just back from this house in finglas, Want to say a big thank you to Ally from PSI for coming all the way down to help me this morning, We had a few tec faults with communication, kept getting cut off, but the interesting thing was when we got cut off the 3rd time our emf that was a base reading of 0.1 flew up to 4.8 and temp dropped also all at the same time as the connection to the radio station going back down to do further investigations to truly see if anything what is happening for this family.

David the presenter is not a ghost hunter as ran called him, but a reporter for the show, he has never done investigations and is not a medium of any kind, Just wanted to fill you in on who this guy was, as some of you seemed interested in knowing who he was.
The family seem to be a very close nit family, very friendly and open. So i think for them what is happening to them is real in there eyes, we just have to help them in assuring them in any way that we can give them a reasonable and rational explanation as to what is or is not happening in there home.

Riamfada

Hi Traze,

Listened in it was very good. To be honest however I think the loss of signal was planned for the preformance, having worked on radio and done radio ghost shows with 104 I think it made for very good radio. (also the dialup noises??).

Seemed like an interesting location however.

dont take this the wrong way, but has there ever been proof or near proof than Paranormal ativity actual happens on this earth, Now im not bashing because personaly i couldn't 100% say there isn't although i belive there is not, What makes people belive so strongly there is, and as i say im not bashing because it does intrest me but there just seems to be hole's or everyday explaination's in most stories,

ORBS! but in reality no there has been no proof in the history of paranormal investigation that ghosts exist. But its fun to have a look.

Thanks Graham,
yes it was a bit of a coincidence with the dial up, but i can say it was no part of david the interviewer who was with us as he was standing right beside me,
As for at the other side people messing about for entertainment value, well we can only speculate that.
But as i said above we got some interesting readings that warrant further investigating

I've been asked to go check this out tonight along with some og my fellow PIGs. We've already done a number og homes in Dublin so far this year so the fact this one is getting so much attention doesnt have alarm bells ringing for me personally.

Will post again later when i get home.

Traze

Hi Mark, ye helen the owner of the house rang me and told me you where going up, the star news paper will also be there with a medium, so let me know how you get on

6th

Yeah I know the reporter, he's sound and has a genuine interest in the area. Not sure if the medium in question whats to be named but I put Kevin (reporter) on to him because, again, he's a genuine bloke who's opinion I trust.

Getting picked up by the handsome Grimes in about 30mins

Traze

Great stuff, keep me posted as to how you get on, as she wants us to go back down as well, so would be useful to see if you guys get anything.

fryup

Are spirits more active at night time?? And how much does the temperature drop by during paranormal activity??

alanajane

Hi all, it really cheeses me off the way the great G Ryan makes little of anything of a paranormal nature, be it of a 'ghostly' nature, tarot or healings...does he not realise some of us out there are really interested in these things...honestly sometimes he cant see further than his...yeah well you know..

anyhow little rant over what I would like to ask is something the female investigator mentioned (sorry cant remember her name)...she said there has been an increase in paranormal activity with the increase in earthquake activity...is this true and if so why would that be???

Dave!

It's good to hear that at least someone is providing a skeptical perspective for this 'investigation'... even if it has to be Gerry Ryan

Better him than to let yous have free reign with the mediums and psychics and proton packs.

[IPIC]Darkghost

Honestly i dont like the fact that this is being broadcasted, fair enough if the lady called in (I didnt get a chance to listen to the full show, just the end of it today and alittle the other day)

the way i see it
1) The lady could be doing this for publisity.
2) Its Genuine and didnt know who to approch.

I dont know about anyone here but, i dont think i would like Radio and Tv crews all over my house..

6th

Ok just back home now from this place. Obviously I could talk and talk about it and my opinions, ideas etc but theres a few things I want to get across:

• In the short time we were there we saw no evidence of paranormal activity. Now thats not to say theres nothing going on because, lets face it, being there few a few hours is vey different to living there 24/7.

• We (PIGs) are very happy that these people are a genuine, nice, normal family. Any talk of a scam to move house etc is just nonsnse as they are very hapy to live there and have been in the house since the mother was a child. Guessing I'd say 40+ years? Now thats not to say that what they are experiences is paranormal but going by their testimonials etc they are discribing a range of phenomenon which would have you wondering.

• The medium there tonight (Tom Colton) was pretty impressive, obviously theres going to be information that cant be verified but they family were happy and impressed with him. We were with him at all times and to see him get so much information, personal to the family, was great to watch. I personally recommended him to come over tonight because he's down to earth, and a regular guy. Just whats needed in a situation like this were you're dealing with people who are living with a situation. No one wants a mystical, flamboyant showman when you're dealing with real peoples lives.

• We've got to respect that these people have a right to a certain amount of anonimity. With that in mind I wont just freely be throwing out personal details/info to satisfy people curiousity.

I'm sure the other lads will post their own thoughts at some stage.

Personally I think its great that they are open to talk about it. Whether ghosts exist or not is almost irrelivant at this stage, the fact is people are experiencing stuff and the effect it has on them and their lives are very real. If by this family going public more people feel they can talk about their experiences then its a good thing.

I really dont see this as an attempt at attention whoring. Having met them they are relucated for people to actually know who they are. They'd didnt know how to go about getting help, or finding people to talk too. Now they have access to a number of people who are willing to share their opinions and insight.

I've met plenty of people who just want their 15 minutes etc. These people arent like that. You really just have to judge on a case by case basis.

Riamfada

I thought these people were very genuine and I could echo everything 6th says.

Didnt take EMF readings due to the nature of electrical wiring in the house but took a series of temp readings. Had a drop in the sitting room but standard all over the house.

Hi That was me who mentioned regarding increase in seismic activity,
I was not saying it as a fact, but more so as something that would be worth looking into, It was a friend of mine in another group who has the thought that maybe this increase could have something to do with the increase of reports of paranormal activity,

Mark i have to agree 110% with you on how genuine i found this family to be,
I do feel as i said before that reports of paranormal activity for them seems real .
It warrants further investigation as i am sure you would agree , I will be going back down to visit this family and to do what we all put out there todo, investigate reported activity,

At the end of the day people contact us groups to help them and we all will agree that we do, to the best of our knowledge and ability.


I would give this family one thing, they are not in it for publicity as the owners where very adamant of no pictures been taken of the out side of there home by a reporter that was there, or pictures of there faces to been published. So to me that is not the making of someone who wants 15 mins of fame

maccored

is this the family who took pictures of an orb and therefore the house is haunted? they may be nice people and all, but that doesnt mean their house is haunted.

Traze - afaik there is not connection to earthquakes and paranormal activity. there is a alink between earthquakes and changing electro magnetic energy from the earth, which can cause people to *think* they are seeing ghosts though.

The photo was from 2 years ago and so insignificant with regards to what the family have been experiencing over a much longer period of time. When things like orbs get mentioned people are very quick to write off the whole thing without actually looking at what else has happened.

Again I am not saying the house is haunted but I'll put it on the line and say that whatever is going on this family are genuine people who fully believe what they are saying.

maccored

I think theres a bit of straw clutching going on tbh. The photo was one thing she mentioned, but yet it was two years ago - nevermind that it was only of a reflection of light. Most of the other stuff she mentioned in that online recording didn't sound like anything that couldnt be explained logically (most of it being feelings) - yet it's being treated like there's been a genuine reported 'oh look I just saw a ghost' haunting.

Is things in the paranormal field so boring that people are investigating stuff primarily because it was reported on a radio show and not because there's enough cause to suspect the place may be haunted?

Traze

People are investigating these reports as from the request of people who ask us to, Not because we have nothing better to do, but from us putting it out to people that we are here to help them if they feel they are having paranormal activity. The reason as to why it was reported on the radio is because this family did not know where to go to seek help, so they highlighted there situation in that manner.
They are not ones to be seeking media attention but a as i felt and also mark a genuine family that as i said before are feeling they are having paranormal activity, It is up to us as investigators to help these people as i said to put to rest weather it be paranormal or other means,


afaik there is not connection to earthquakes and paranormal activity


Do you have evidence to back this up as in saying there is no connection, The person who has mentioned this to me is researching this, to see in fact if there is a connection.

6th

The family have seen figures in the house and been living with the situation for years. From talking to them they're arent putting forward the photo or their audio recording forward as any kind of proof. They arent out to convince anyone of anything.

Personal testimony is really all we have when it comes to the paranormal because, no matter what anyone says, we have no idea of the mechanics behind what people believe is going on. Even the equipment used in investigations is only useful when it comes to monitoring the environment of a location. Changes in conditions which appear to be outside the normal for a specific location are interesting and should be noted but beyond that we have no real idea of what they mean. Theories of temperature drops signifying that a spirit is trying to manifistate are nothing more than popular ideas with no backup.

But the fact is people are experiencing "something" and there will always be people with an interest in looking at those cases.

You say that things must be boring for people to go to this home just because it got some media attention. Fact is the location and people were accessable and open to giving the opportunity to check it out. Theres alot more merit to investigating a house like this than a hundred castles and gaols who'd sightings and stories are older than the people checking them out.

Current activity being experienced by real people who you can actually sit down with is far more interesting than 8 hours sitting in the dark in a spooky castle.

Congrats on the show Traze, haven't never met the family I can't say if their in it for the money, but if their in the house a good few years it sounds unlikely..

Good luck to both PRAOFI & PIGs in their investigations of the house..
