Oh dear, The Sun must be at the barrel scraping stage if they fall for lame rubbish such as this:

(See the story at http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/news/2960673/Ghostly-figure-of-a-weeping-girl-in-mirror-of-hotel-room.html)

This little girl gets about a bit. Sometimes she appears in kitchen door glass (http://www.ghostsandstories.com/little-girl-ghost.html).

But this is hardly surprising considering this iPhone App: http://www.appstorehq.com/ghostcapture-iphone-79452/app

But it isn’t just the outrageous fakery that annoys me. Just read the story for all the signs of Sun Bullshit:

• Unidentified guests
• Unidentified spokesman
• Random words in BOLD CAPITALS

Honestly, if they want some made-up bullshit they should contact me. A copy of my CV should proove fictional enough for them.

The time, as I type this, is 04:33 BST. The date is April 1st, 2010. I’ve just taken a look down my road in Streetview, and its all gone 3D. Viz:

You can, of course, go and look on Google Maps.

I don’t have any 3D glasses to hand to check to see what the scene looks like through them, but it would be cool and not just an April Fool prank.

Of course Google have been known to release real things on April 1st, so i’ll not say any more on the matter until tomorrow. Or probably th 3rd, just to be safe.

Sometime back in ’93, a load of crop circles appeared in a field very near to my house. Neither myself, nor my cronies at the time, have any idea how they got there. Aliens? That’s the most likely thing.

On July 1st 1993, the following story appeared in the Stafford Post.

Just when you thought it was safe to go back to the fields… By Kathryn Ellison
Wierd and wonderful freaks of nature, UFOs, signs from beyond or just another hoax? Thats the question baffling locals since Stafford’s first crop circle appeared last Thursday. The circles, in fields opposite the University, were spotted by a woman out walking her dog. But local crop circle enthusiast John Watkins has his doubts about the Stafford spectacle. “The circle is in green corn, wheras they are normally found in mature golden corn,” said John. “And the circles are usually pressed down like a rosette, but they are rather rough and uneven with this one. “It could be that the students up to a prank have done it with a piece of string, but these things are interesting phenomenon and should not be dismissed out of hand.” One local who rang to say that he could see the circles from his window said: “They don’t look very supernatural to me, I could have done better myself!”

The “woman” out walking her dog, and the sceptical local were one and the same.
Step forward Mr. Jon Wilkinson (wearing a white t-shirt in the above photos).
For the record… I’m the one in black in the photos, wearing pretty much the same clobber as I did to work today.
