Things that go "bump!" in the night

On Saturday night we had the third eye paranormal investigation team in at the Little Theatre. A number of brave staff members joined them as they toured the venue to tune into the spirits that may be resident. It was a facinating night when several things that could not be easily explained occured. This photo was taken of a trigger left outside the upstairs ladies toilets. A bin liner had been left and a smooth covering of talc sprinkled on it. Everyone was informed to use the downstairs loos, or the upstair gents (which is in a different part of the building). This we believe was dutifully adhered to. When a team of investigators went to see if any of the triggers had been "visited" by a spirit pressence these clear marks could be found in the talc. That they are there at all is strange - however these apparently random marks take on a deeper significance if rotated 180 degrees and seen as a negative image. Then the name SUE is easily discernable. It certainly sent a chill up many a spine I can tell you. To find out more about the work of Third Eye check their site http://www.thirdeyepi.co.uk/
