Sorry Jim
I'm going to take Sam's stance on it though and leave it. Best off kept private. I've already seen a pot smoking reference which suggests things wouldn't go well 
But... I will give you Tony's second story from Redmire as a trade for silence about my own matters. Let me go out and get some cigarettes and food and I shall return and type it up! Get ready to be scared!

Thanks Jim, I'll just leave it on this last note though as to not say anything about it would be or might be irresponsible. Just be very aware how much you get or can get taken in by this new age nonsense which is trying to challenge the old warning messages from The Bible and The Qu'ran. Somewhat dusty and rugged though they might be they've pretty much got it right. There really is severe danger out there when you proceed beyond sensible boundaries of thought and compassion and general interest in life, no matter how innocently motivated - these things will attack anything.
Realistically speaking in modern times only a personal experience is likely to convince someone of this, but you're left in no doubt when it turns up and it is truly terrifying and one of the worst realisations you can probably ever have in life as a human being. I'm not saying there aren't aspects of Religion which are wrong, because I believe there are and it can be taken way out of context to the point where gay people and people of other divinations are being wrongfully rejected. As for the warnings about messing with spirit though - mentioned in Deuteronomy - they are absolutely correct. Just make sure you choose your path through life wisely. And remember morality is frequently no defense whatsoever against danger in this respect.

Hi
Not fishing related but have a very true ghost story ! If anyone knows Derby they may well be aware of other peoples experiences at Darley Abbey weir and the mill building behind it ......
My dad used to work in the mill building behind the weir doing cad cam lathe work ( machine forming metal basically - dont think company is there anymore ? )
Anyways it was about 20 years ago know when i was 10/11 and my dad was doing swing shifts splitting the weekends with one other bloke as it was a rush job, my dad went in the mornings set the machine running and did the odd bits and bobs, then he came home and the other bloke (Simon) went in when the lathe finished and shut everything down for the night after the cad cam lathe had shaped the metals ! Anyways this was not unusual and just basically overtime work my dad did.... Around 9pm one night we got a phone call ( house phone ) and my mum answered it _ It was Simon saying can he speak to My Dad ( mum was worried at this point as Simon was panicking - she could tell by his voice ) After about one minute of my Dad being on the phone he put the phone down saying we will be there in 5 mins!!! Mum and Dad then begin talking and it ends with all of us piling in a renault 5 car ( mum / dad / 3 kids _ my dad was drunk and could not drive so mum had to take us down - lol remember it like it was yesterday) Anyways Simon was bricking it and had legged it over the weir bridge leaving the mill unlocked and all machinery etc on and was waiting by the telephone box over the other side ( 1/4 mile approx ) . To this day i have never seen someone so afraid and white as a sheet as this bloke - he was petrified and refused to go back in the mill ! My dad goes in and shuts everything down and gets simon his car keys and says we`ll sort it all in the morning .....
Dad revealed to us a few years later that Simon had seen a full body apparition of an old foreman dressed in victorian costume watching him as he checked the lathe ( Many other incidents had been reported ) and from then on my Dad would always take one of us with him when he did any weeknd lathe setting cos we loved the ghost story !
