Some people collect stamps and postcards, well...we collect words.
Our name sounds like a group of sci-fi nerds or a supporting cast to Van Helsing but there is a well meaning and genuine reason behind finding us a name and a spot on the big wide world web of internet.
Let's forget about superstitions and the ever growing popularity of new age movement, crystal balls and starry eyed television mediums.
So what are we and who are we? Are we scientific or religious, a hoax or pseudo scientists?
Do we approach people and places from a historic or paranormal point of view?
Well... all and none of these.
We would like to think of ourselves as people who have thought of recording something that has been around since the beginning of the World and that is FOLKLORE.
We do not have to believe in the paranormal for doors to squeek and Uncle John's ghost to have a "hissy fit" over his territory. There are things that always have been with or without explanation and if people do not find a rational explanation for it then it will live in the folk tales and the unexplained section of our library.
If people would not be interested in them and at times adults would not open up a story book to unwind then why those TV ghost hunters have such a wide audience? Why would we tell eachother ghost stories by the fire and read Edgar Allan Poe or flock to the movies to see the Ghostbusters tackle the Marshmallow man?
Somehow, no matter how many shows we watched, how many websites we saw and articles we were reading we felt there was a huge gap......You know...tomorrow's mythology and Folklore is happening today. It is not Bram Stoker at the end of the 19th Century who will tell us about people around the corner, about the strange things happening down at the street opposite the deli or how Mrs Smith used her power over the spirits to win the chook raffle, or why Patty has his chest scratched by invisible fingernails each time he falls asleep drunk after the BBQ?
It might sound too good to be true to believe that we make no money out of this, or that we do not even plan to benefit from our hobby so we level with you. Yes, we do have a kick out of making friends, to put small taverns hidden in the Aussie outback on the map, and if we will ever have the chance to publish a book about Folklore somewhere down the line then be it we will accept the money.
But meanwhile we would like to listen to people, we would like to give them the benefit of the doubt and cover areas that maybe are less alluring to commercial ghost hunters. Western Australia is huge and full of stories. We would like to offer people the benefit of high tech equipment that is available to us as well as our experinece in paranormal research.
WE WOULD LIKE TO DO IT OUR WAY, IN A WAY THAT PEOPLE CAN GET INVOLVED AND BE PROUD OF THEIR FOLKLORE.
So...Grimm Brothers meet Ghost Hunters......
HERE WE COME... and we hope you will welcome us.
Many thanks
Andrew and Agnes
