The Island That Vanished – Hy-Brasil: The Phantom Island


Hy-Brasil: The Phantom Island!

 

 

Hy-Brasil was first noted on maps as far back as 1325. However, as the centuries have past the island which was said to be located off the coast of west Ireland has seeming vanished!

What makes this island interesting is that over the centuries many people have claimed to have seen it! Hence why it has been on so many maps for so long. In 1674 John Nesbit an Irish explorer claimed he sailed through thick fog of the coast of west Ireland and reached island of Hy-Brasil. Once the ship was anchored three crew men rowed to the island and returned three days later with large amount of gold and silver, claiming that an old man had given it to them. Nesbit also stated that the island was inhabited by very large black rabbits and the old man lived in a castle.

The very last documented sighting of Hy-Brasil was that of Author T.J Westropp in 1872. Westropp claimed that he seen the island on many previous voyages, so this time he decided he would take people with him to back-up his claims, they all said that the island appeared and then disappeared right in front of their eyes. After this the island has fallen into myth and legend, but all these people saw something. It did not benefit anyone to make it up in fact it would be more damaging than beneficial!

There is a lot more to this story and we will be covering it in a future podcast, as we haven’t even mentioned the US soldier that had an UFO encounter and received the exact coordinates to Hy-Brasil, weird eh? What do you think? Is there a mystery phantom island just of the coast of Ireland! Or could there have been once?

Nick Sage Psychic Medium clears 30 east drive – Exposed for publicity stunt?


Nick sage psychic medium claims to have cleansed 30 east drive! This seems to have angered many within the paranormal field.  Is it real? or is it a publicity stunt?

The Pontefract poltergeist is a well known famous case, with books written about it and films even being. Weekly, this location is booked up by paranormal event company’s and paranormal research organisations.

Lets closely exam the posts to see if we can spot any indication on “the truth” to see if this was indeed a publicity stunt?

The story first brakes on facebook from the mediums fan page direct by saying “30 east drive has now been cleansed”

This sends makes the paranormal community go into a fit of rage, and sparks the debate of was it right or wrong?

Next statement is that he is banned from 30 east drive!

Next up he announces he will be LIVE, About the real story, East Drive. This is pretty cryptic because he doesn’t state hes going back but in the comments, he states “Medium Nick Sage Due to security, I can’t give the date but the filming will be in the Sumner”. This statement makes people think hes going back, when hes already stated hes banned. 

The next statement is a classic.

He says the full story will be coming soon showing ‘a’ article on the sun newspaper front page. In the comments he states “Medium Nick Sage The Full article will be in May” but before on a post he said its going in the papers next week “Now its may!”

The next statement is actually nothing to do with east drive but it can be helped to understand whats going on here somewhat if we look at the bigger picture.

He does a live stream with “Annabelle the haunted doll”  which is pretty ironic the title!, obvious not the real Annabelle, but i think the wording of the video could be intentional to draw in the viewers…..

The next post is a free live psychic video readings, yet again another way to capture an audience and drum up PR for his fan page. Are we starting to see a pattern here?

Then one final statement about the clearance of 30 east drive.

So was this a publicity stunt.

If we bullet point the facts and misinformation he has posted it should be able to direct you to the answer.

  1. States clearance will be in papers next week, then later says May.
  2. Teases that he going back to east drive when he states he is banned for life.
  3. Fake front cover article of the sun and states it will be in May. “the sun will not print the story of this on the front cover, pre planned way ahead of time.
  4. Posts up live steam with a doll labelled as “Annabelle the haunted doll”
  5. Free Live Video psychic readings

All of the above are all publicity generating posts to get the spotlight.

there is no mention of this 30 east drive spirit clearance in ANY news paper or media outlet as of yet!

So is it a publicity stunt…it is seeming that way!

The spirit clearance could be a real attempt, but the media buzz seems all fake. 

The next question is was it right to do a cleansing of a property he did not own? or get the consent to do.

I would like to start this by saying no one owns a spirit as their own, as science has yet to prove ghosts exist and that no one should play god on weather the spirit goes or stays within a private property.

BUT

When you enter a private property, you are expected to respect the client’s home, and their best wishes, no matter what the rules are.

His house his rules, disobeying any rules which causes any damage can be legal binding.

The Skirrid Inn


   The Skirrid Inn: The Most Haunted Pub in Wales

 

The Skirrid Inn is the oldest pub in wales and is a hot spot for paranormal activity!… Dating back to the 17th century and has a long and dark history. It is said that the first floor of the inn was used as a court of law. It is also said that some of the people that stood trail were sentenced to death within its walls.

   

Apparently around 180 people were executed in the pub the people that were sentenced to death were hung by the neck from a rope that was said to have been attached to an oak beam at the top of the staircase. There are even indentations to this day from where the rope left its mark. It’s the pubs history that makes people believe the pub is haunted along with the many sighting or paranormal encounters. It is said that Judge Jeffries who sentenced so many people to death haunts the upstairs of the pub and he is apparently searching for his next victim!

     

Another common spectre is to haunt the pub is a sheep rustler called John Crowther and the many criminals that lost their lives there are said to still haunt the location. It’s worth noting that it is said that the pub has some friendly ghost too… A clergy man and a former land lady called Fanny price are said to haunt the pub Fanny is said to make herself known by flinging a glass across the bar It is thought she died of consumption at the age of 35! Fanny is buried in the local St Michael’s churchyard.

   

A multitude or bizarre and sometimes disturbing phenomenon is often reported by guest of the pub, A common complaint of guest is that of a feeling of being strangled and when people look closer at their necks what appear to be rope marks can be seen! Other complaints are of a feeling of dizziness, nausea, overwhelming fear and a sense some invisible being that pushes past people on the stairs!

Other reports are that of disembodied voices, objects floating around the bar area, unexplained knocking and other sounds such as footsteps and doors opening and slamming by themselves. It is no wonder why some many paranormal investigators and researches visit this pub as it is not only wales oldest pub but most likely its most haunted too.
