Derek Acorah a victim of "Cyber Bullying"

According to the Southport Champion, a local newspaper in Southport, a cyber bully under the twitter handle of @DerekAfraudstah has decided that his next victim should be non other than Mr Entertainment himself Derek Acorah.

Acorah of course is no stranger to controversy or criticism, and as a relative newbie to the world of social media, it has probably come as a bit of a shock to him.

My advice to Derek Acorah is either to ignore (block) the cyber bullys account, or perhaps grow a pair and admit that what you do is no more than an "act", that it is not real, and you do not really talk to the dead. I think if you did do that then perhaps so called cyber bullies like @DerekAfraudstah would find something better to do with their time.

Below you can see a scan of the article from the Southport Champion, and of course if you would like to follow the great man himself on Twitter you can so by following him on @derek_acorah just make sure you dont confuse the two, especially if you are a fan of Acorah!

Why don’t we have dinosaur ghosts?

I was perusing Twitter as I do most days, and I came across an amusing artist/doodler who came up with this simple answer to one of the biggest questions in paranormal research. Why don’t we have dinosaur ghosts? I think she answers it very well.

You can check out her 2 Twitter accounts @Twistedlilkitty and @twisteddoodles and if you want to follow my own Tweets you can do so @JonDonnis

Just another Sylvia Browne victim

This is the heartbreaking story of what is now sadly known as just another Sylvia Browne Victim.

Psychics/mediums are doing harm. They may wrap up their lies and fraud in a false justification of helping people, but to believers their words are so strong, to them its real. And all it takes is one wrong word from a psychic, and you are left with an eternity of hurt and regret.

Here is a news story from KMOV on just such a victim.

KMOV's hidden cameras capture self-proclaimed psychic Sylvia Browne making bold predictions about a mother's dying son. Not one of Browne's predictions came true. The woman's son died two days later. This story was on KMOV-TV in May 2010.
