Tim.......From here,it appears to me that Tom Slemen is waiting for the huzzah over Cornwell ( forget Miles' new book...) to dissipate,so he can fill the void.

I e-mailed his partner to see if he could expand on his input to the earth-shaking Conder theory. No reply after 2 weeks.

Hey...if Slemen is right,then maybe we can all hang it up and start a commune ! But Edwards has to bunk at different quarters...preferably with Peter Wood.

What is this guy on?

I'm forwarding this stuff to the "Is James Jack" group?

"4. At what age did you become interested in the paranormal?
I had my first paranormal encounter when I was about 16 months old. I remember thinking that I had been here before. I held a butter knife to my chest and thought, 'I want to go back,' and my mother snatched the knife off me. Not long after that, my father took me to bed to get me asleep. I was a crafty baby, and I pretended to be asleep. When I opened my eyes after a few minutes, my Dad was gone - and all of a sudden, a strange-looking shadow glided across the wall facing me. It was not the shadow of a person; the shadow was an entity of some sort. It watched me for a while, then slid into the adjacent wall and vanished. Years later, my mother told me that she was looking out of the window one day and a small circle 'opened up' before her in mid-air. She saw a baby's face smiling at her. The baby looked like her daughter. About a year later I was born, and when she saw me she said to my fainting Dad: 'It's him...I saw him a year ago.' "

Hi Howie

I have not seen the special that's named in that 2001 news story. Mr. Slemen and Mr. Andrews are also involved in telling a very doubtful story of a mass grave in Old Swan, Liverpool, in which they allege that the people in the graves were Irish potato famine victims slaughtered by the British.

The story is doubtful because a Liverpool City health official said there was no evidence of bullet holes in the skulls of the dead as Slemen and Andrews allege and because the dead were in regular coffins, often with dates and names long after the Potato Famine. See

Mass Grave in Old Swan (http://www.yoliverpool.com/forum/showthread.php?t=2852)

Yes...I think it is indicative of 'mass sensationalism' in that many people are gullible and want to believe such nonsense. Apparently Bluecoat Press don't want great ideas for books but something that will 'sell' hence the 'Haunted' and other type Slemen books. I think we all know there is no Loch Ness Monster, Time Slips or Cottingley Fairies - it is all wishful thinking and completely ludicrous :offinhead:

I guess it puts bread and meat on the table although it kind of intrigues me that Colin Wilkinson who is responsible for the upscale "Streets of Liverpool" blog and probably a number of well researched and reputable books is also the man who is behind Bluecoat Press publishing Tom Slemen's popular books.
