The Final Story

But not on Substack

A few people have asked how David became an investigator into all things haunted and paranormal when he obviously does not believe in such things. A ghost hunter who does not believe in ghosts.

I thought the best way to answer that was to write a collection of short stories spanning David’s early years, from when he was still working as an industrial chemist, to when he quit the television programme that made him a household name, and set out on his own.

The final story is now written, and I have put them together into a book, available free to anybody who wants to read it. If you believe in such things as hauntings and ghosts, this might change your mind about what they may or may not be. If you do not believe in anything you might call paranormal, perhaps you should. There is certainly plenty of evidence to at least believe there are still things we do not understand.

Some of these short stories were first posted on Substack, but when I re-read them, they were little more than first drafts, unfinished. Those have been revised, helped by the ever-critical eye of Finn Sparks. Thanks also to Fenwick McKie for being the guinea pig to make sure I had set up the technology at BookFunnel correctly. Writers helping writers, it works.

David’s stories are something new, somewhere between belief and scepticism. To read the free book, simply subscribe to my newsletters. Not these on Substack, my proper newsletters, away from the corporate machine. You can always unsubscribe if this turns out not to be your thing, or you can go on to read more. The choice is yours. For my parapsychology research, I explore lesser-known aspects of the middle ground between folklore and what is currently seen as paranormal, so my newsletters can be a little different, and fun. Something a bit unusual to land in your inbox.

If you would enjoy something new to read that is not fantasy or horror and allows you to form your own ideas about such things, give it a go. You can subscribe at my little corner of the interweb, www.nigelcode.co.uk

Thank you.
