Today RED and Grip were given a special guided tour of probably Brightons most famous pub, "its a huge location, its got bags of history i can't wait to do this one" were the words from the guys after their special tour, it looks set for some time in August 2009. watch out for a fascinating case file.

After spending most of 2008 and 2009 in the top 3 most voted for sites, we have taken the decision to remove our voting buttons for a number of different reasons. We feel that there is an enormous amount of dishonesty taking place and as such we want no part of it. On examination of who visits our site and where they come from only about 2% of our visitors came to us from the Haunted England site.

Two of our team recently were invited to a 'fright night' event at Fort Amherst in Kent the event was to rase money for the Anthony Nolan Trust, for some reason the hosting group were short of people to lead groups around as so our guys stepped up to the challenge and seven paying customers were then taken on a make shift P.I.G.S investigation of fright night. The Lads 'RED and Grim' also had the pleasure of meeting Ian Lawman who even agreed to a quick interview for P.I.G.S TV.

Since then the P.I.G.S have been asked to host events for The Anthony Nolan Trust and have agreed to three locations, we will be putting together detailed case files of these locations and of course making sure we do a good job for the charity and its paying customers The paranormal Investigation Group Sussex is hosting these events completely free of charge to enable the charity to get as much of the money to the cause as possible. We will publish these venues and dates as soon as the charity does.

Tim Brown or known to some as RED took the decision today to remove PIGS TV from public areas of the internet, he said "We never intended to become famous for it, we never intended it to grow a following however it seems it has". " i have taken the decision to keep it as a members only part of our group for use of internal communications and for special events as we see fit". " The whole PIGS TV thing seems to have taken over a lot of what we are about and i couldn't help but feel we were changing to fit PIGS TV rather then PIGS TV changing to fit us, this is for the good of the paranormal Investigation Group Sussex and i believe we will benefit from this decision in the long term".

The work on the Rottingdean project has restarted with some of the research now being published on the case file. we hope to continue this study through to its conclusion of a local book and interesting paranormal study. we have started by publishing some of the relevant history on the hot spots we aim to cover.

Good news for all professional paranormal investigators or researchers from around the UK. The flag has been raised and the alarm bells are ringing in the House of Commons regarding the paranormal field.

As you know with the ever growing numbers of clubs and team’s that enter the reams of the paranormal world, it has somewhat become a joke, to the point of how others will act when they proclaim to be professional people or teams, to which is helping giving the paranormal world a bad name with their approach and tactics, on top of this, what is also not helping is the over pricing of fees we all have to meet.

The British Paranormal Association are working on making small but positive changes to how we are all seen or recognized within this field. We are now in talks with the House of Commons, Shadow Department of Culture regarding the issues and topics that have been highlighted to them.

This is a positive step forward, not only for all paranormal clubs or teams, but on the view of it will once again give reinsurance's to the public and venues that we are all above board and are professional people, to some this will be good news that things are moving onwards to help us seen as professional, but I am sure others will not be so happy to hear this news....I can only wonder why? Whereby the British Paranormal Association we will keep you posted with any news or out come from our talks.

We at the P.I.G.S fully support this news and have been urging the B.P.A to act for some time well done to Brian and his team at the B.P.A from all of us here at the-pigs.co.uk
