Help Reqired Re Dead Brummie From Russia.

Michael (Mikhail) Pennington Mystery - Help!
Has anyone come across a Michael Pennington or Mikhail posting on a Russian forum? I was emailed this link by a friend who says that the story was posted here but when I run a search I cant find it.

A guy called Michael Pennington from Birmingham in England made certain claims that he was a ghost and that he was murdered in 1971. He communicates on message forums and appears on a lot of sites where people refer to this mysterious character. He has posted under the name of George Rowling but I am sure that this is a Russian story too.

In essence this character tells us what it is like to be a spirit and realistically explains his mission here on earth which involves extensive contact with the supernatural and paranormal. The whole thing is one big mystery that has attracted thousands of readers before the original postings were shut down by the site administrators.

This person tells us of a global shutdown of our electrical supply like we saw in UK and the USA and Canada but it will also happen in Russia and everywhere else too. Computers will spring to life and a message will appear that no world leaders can afford to ignore. The postings deal with UFO and Alien abductions as well as an inside account as to life in the spirit world. Apparantly alien spirits are in contact with spirits from our world and there is reference to an 11th plain and other dimensions. The whole thing is incredible and a mystery. Has anyone seen this elsewhere?

The links that deal with this conspiracy or hoax if that is what it is can be found at :

http://www.birminghamuk.com/forum
http://www.michaelpennington.uni.cc
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/michaelpennington where on the links section there is more information and under messages there are his later postings. The hoax is divided into two parts.

I would really be interested to find out if this is circulating in Russian under a different name or modification of the original.

I don't know if this helps but it just so happens that Johnny Vegas's real name is Michael Pennington. Probably just coincidence, and Vegas is from St. Helens, not Brum. Can anyone check police records to see if there was such a murder in 1971? It might have made the Evening Mail. Like you say, it sounds like a hoax.

Maybe the dear departed soul of Mrs Vera Jenkins - BiNS's own cyber-ghost - could shed some light on this.

SO it seems it is something to do with Vegas- Vegasm? Not much of a disguise, though. Maybe it's an obsessed fan.

Johnny Vegas is a self confessed net geek weird untrustworthy not living in reality talking to complete strangers and claiming them as close confidantes though isn't he? Weirdo.

Love the sense of humour though. Really speaks to me about my existence.

This ones gone round the world by all accounts under names like Wilfred, Michael Allred, George Rowling and there is several versions and several similar tales. The original one is ours! It is a Birmingham story and its just been copied by others thats all.

I was following this on the original forums and it was quite a hoot but a lot of people took it very seriously. Its banded around on quite a few forums and been on Russian, German, USA, Netherlands countries posts but it all takes the same theme with a similar mission and meaning.

I would have thought Johnny Vegas would have promoted Manchester rather than Birmingham. There is an actor called Michael Pennington with links to Birmingham theatre. Theres a site at http://www.michaelpennington.co.uk and plenty of others. The Americans seem to think that hes from Alabama in Birmingham but then they probably wouldnt even know it gets its name from Birmingham in the UK.

Johnny Vegas has just had a shit film out which was set in Brum, so that is a motive for promoting it.
He's not from Manchester, he's from St. Helens, so why would he want to promote Manchester?

Also, if you're wondering who Michael Allred is, he is a comic artist who designed 'Bluntman and Chronic' for Kevin Smith.

Gentle brummies...
Big drunk Vegas or not,
The "cut and paste" from Pravda posted by a guy called vegasm, is actually the same person behind the ghost, he already knows the answers to the questions he's asking. But he deffo needs help!!!!

vegasm has been banned from the Pravada forum for spreading the hoax!
http://engforum.pravda.rushowthread.php3?threadid=68117

Michael Pennington is hoaxing people. He posted on the forum in the UK pretending to be a ghost. He went back a few days after placing some links out there on the net and posted again but he also answered the post with other identities. HE confused and angered the other posters. Not content he then posted the link to the UK forum all over the world bring more people into the UK forum (his control ground) and the hoax.

One person, many names but only one IP. The "ghost of Michael Pennington" when telling you where you could download his memoirs had the same IP as the people posting the link around the world! 82.36.85.23

Proof is here
http://homepage.mac.com/mark_urbnwry/Menu5.html

At best he is promoting a book but as some one is selling a printed version from a stall without hinderance I doubt it, at worst he is far more sinister, probably feeding his ego as he creates the master “hoax!”. Obviously you weren't taken in, but the links page I gave you above proves the hoax!
No malice intended just a warning. He caused the other forum to shut.

Sorry. It ain't Julie.

There is no one Healer, there's a few of us! But there's only 1 Mike P!!

The thread was probably deleted as Pravada do not want to be associated with the hoax! Wise move.

Don't fear good Brummies, here is the text number to send Michael Pennington a message from one his many sites!!
(First a laptop, now a fone - never mind how a 30 year old "ghost" operates them, where is he getting the money??)

Go on text a ghost today!
