Thorpe Park allegedly suspends six workers for contacting the dead

That's hilarious.

"The Sun" apparently is one of the more tabloid-y papers. Rev. Fanthorpe was ummmm, a dead giveaway. ;)

Funny nonetheless...and that Saw building could make for an insanely good haunted attraction.

Nice publicity stunt.

I was thinking the same thing, Gator - "Fanthorpe?"

Oh great! It's gonna be a new musical "Phanthorpe of the Opera!"

All we need now are the neighbors to start complaining that the spirits are too noisy.

I have no idea how true the story is (yes, The Sun is quite notorious), but in the interest of accuracy I need to point out that the Reverend Lionel Fanthorpe does exist and is a paranormal investigator among many other things.

I'm actually inclined to wonder if there isn't some truth to the story. If they wanted to go completely over the top, they could've got some complete whack-job like Kevin Carlyon, King of the White Witches of Britain. (King of media whores and embarassment to witches everywhere is more like it.)

^Now THAT is where reality proves stranger than fiction. :)

Sure looked like a simple "we want free press" from Thorpe....based on our day there, the last thing that park needs is more patrons. Now, I'm starting to wonder, and more than a little confused, as to where the line begins to blur between "real-reality" and "publicity-seeking propagandized retelling of events". ;)
