The ghosts need us

Hi all. Thought I'd share my thoughts on Ludlow's map and what it all might mean, especially with all these clues I've been left.

We know now that the clues are to the identities of ghosts who haunt the places on the map. Why we have to find them is something I've been pondering since we found the first two � Lady Caroline Lamb and Anne Boleyn.

My feeling (and I've started to get some very strong feelings recently, though that of course may be due to the amount of oranges of the chocolate variety I've been consuming of late � the BBC canteen is so near!) is that the ghosts are in some sort of danger.

But whoever left the clues didn't want these ghosts' identities exposed straight away. Why � I'm not sure � but the mystery and cryptic clues seem to indicate these ghosts are in hiding, or being hidden from someone who must not find them.

I know this all must sound a little paranoid and Ghostbuster-ish, but if you believe, as I do, that darkness is always just lurking one step away waiting to pounce, than clues like this must not be ignored and must have great import in the truth they reveal.

Oooooh, I've come over all goose-pimply. Time for another canteen visit!

A rude awakening

Well, what did y'all think of Act II? Pretty hair-raising stuff eh? And that wasn't in any way due to the new gel I'd just bought either!

Yes, William and Tamara have found themselves alone, without the support and help from their family and more importantly, the one man who has all the answers. Now they're relying on a prancing poet and a big, naked woman � waaey haaey, I hear some of you cry � not a bad situation if you put it like that!

Maybe, but all jokes aside, things are starting to happen that are putting them in grave danger. It must be terrifying to have a rude awakening into the 'real' world by having to fight it straight away.

But they seem to be managing. Tamara pulled that little magic trick from nowhere to defeat the possessed doctor, so at least the legacy must have passed from Ludlow in time. And now, Ludlow's old friend Nigel has come onto the scene too, so the protectors have some allies at least!

And, as most of you who visit the message boards will have seen, the clues have been up and answered. Already! Phewwww... Carol Vorderman has nothing on you lot! Thanks a million for that. I've a feeling that finding these identities so quickly is going to prove invaluable.

The next instalment

Morning everyone. No doubt you've all woken and leapt out of bed to switch on your computers to feed your fix for the next stage of the Ghosts of Albion drama. Well, it should be on any time now, so hold on because it just gets better and much more scary.

I'm also putting up clues three and four that I've found on Ludlow's map. I think they're both pretty cryptic, and I'll be very impressed by those of you that can make any sense of them at all. But since you wowed me with your knowledge and research skills last time, I have plenty of faith in y'all!

Also, just like to talk about the messages I've been getting on the boards. Most are brilliant, but there is a little mischievous disturbance going on which may have some of you regulars questioning why I'm really here and what's really going on. Please believe me when I tell you that all I've said is true.

I am doing research into my ancestors, who just happen to be a little quirkier than most people's. I also believe the world is not exactly how it appears to be, but then a lot of people believe that too.

So, once again � no big conspiracy � certainly no alien abductions � just some good old fashioned story-telling and some bit and pieces I have found that you lot are kind enough to help me with.

No more no less. Enjoy Act II. Until tomorrow...

Is the truth out there?
I didn't sleep so well last night. Must be all this talk of ghosts and demons and the other world we know so little about.

I have to say, I love programmes like the X Files, Taken, Twilight Zone... but watching them becomes uncomfortable when you know that fiction and fact are much less further apart then most people are aware. I wonder whether Steven Spielberg knows the truth. He certainly makes films and TV with a compelling sense of inside knowledge.

It's important, of course, to live without fear, but I do believe we must be careful, as you never know when something untoward may happen. But then again - you can't take every spooky thing that happens or that someone says literally - check out my message boards to see what I mean...

But enough doom and gloom talk... thanks for all the help on the puzzles. I'll be posting the next two tomorrow. Let's hope we can find their identities just as quickly.
