PB: The Full Story

Hello fellow paranormal fans, Andy here from PB with the latest info from a very chilly Hub.

2011 was a good year for us; we grew as a team, met new friends, dabbled once again with public events at the Plas Hyfryd and even won an award or two. 2012 looked like it was going to be even better, but 2012 never really kicked off for us. Within weeks of being back team members had dropped out, lost focus and things began to unravel at a vast rate of knots.

There were always two different sides to PB. One was the serious investigation side and the other was the public event/money making side. We could never get those two sides working in tandem so took the decision to knock the public event side on the head in late 2010. When that side of things ended PB also stopped being a partnership and I was virtually left to run the group on my own and, I think, 2011 was a pretty good year for us.

PB & friends @ The Plas: Oct 2011

After an amazing opportunity came to work with local psychic medium Karen Wilson and Ciaran O'Keeffe at the Plas in October 2011; we were pretty pumped up about the possibility of doing public events again. All of a sudden PB became a partnership once more and I found my investigation ideas being shoved to one side in favour of more public events. This lead to lots of tension in the team and I found myself trying to calm those tensions or heal rifts instead of simply hunting ghosts.

It seemed to be one row after another and things finally came to a head after March's GhostWest Lite event at the Imperial in Milford Haven and Minnies Nitespot.  It became clear to us all that things had to change if we were going to continue to search for the paranormal as a team.  And things did change for a while, we began a far more thorough investigation of Llawhaden Castle, but some members of the team still weren't happy with how things were progressing and decided to leave the team permanently, which I supported.

Stuck with a dwindling number of team members and no drive to get back out and investigate I called time on Pembrokeshire Beyond. It seemed the only right thing to do to save my sanity.

So, yeah, 2012 never really got started for us but now, after a looooong break and some time to reassess why and how we're searching for the paranormal; we're back. 2013 looks bright and we want to get back out and kickstart our search for everything paranormal in West Wales. From spooky spectres to mysterious lights in the sky over West Wales: we're interested and we want to know about it all.

Also, if you're interested in becoming part of the team let me know: email me with your contact details at andy_chandler_824@hotmail.com if you can see yourself becoming part of an open minded team of investigators searching all across West Wales for the paranormal.....

Until next time

Andy @PB :)
