SPOOKY stories and ghostly goings-on are needed for a new website being launched by a Sidemoor man.

Steve Minett is urging residents who have tales of the unexpected to email them to him and he will post the best on his new website, Supernatural Chronicles.

The site, which can be found at http://homepages.tesoc.net/steve.minett/ is currently under construction but can go no further without some exciting stories.

"The site is primarily interested in ghost sightings, hauntings, precognition and photographic anomalies that may show what they think to be a ghost, but we would also like to hear about other areas too," said Steve, aged 30.

Although he has not had a supernatural experience himself, he and wife Ruth have enjoyed a long fascination with the subject.

"Reading stories and other people's accounts of the supernatural has always fascinated me, but there are only so many books and so many stories," said the dad-of-one.

"If we could get first hand accounts that would be great as we want to start off by making the site as fresh as possible. This is why I am attempting to set up this site, to get fresh accounts and stories and maybe share these with others similarly interested people.

"The more stories we receive, the bigger the website can become and, after all, it is the world-wide-web, so hopefully we can encompass this," he added.

Anyone who has had a supernatural experience can e-mail Steve at supernaturalchronicles@hotmail.com
