17/07/19 Research into Miners Strikes 1984-85 - Request for Information
Please see below request for information. Please contact the author direct
My name is Joseph Moore, I am a third-year History student at the University of York conducting research for my dissertation on the Miners strikes of 1984-5. As part of this, I am looking to speak to Police officers who were active during these years about their experiences of the Strike.
I am looking to write my project from the Police point of view as the Police's voices have been neglected in events around the 1984/5. Much of the Historiography on the Miners strike has painted the Police as an institution poorly, but I wish to investigate this and perhaps overturn this. I have been motivated to undertake this project because my grandad was a Police officer himself called Phillip Moore based in Rochdale and Bury and he used to tell me lots of stories about the profession which I was enthralled by.
The questions I am looking to ask will not be intrusive, nevertheless, all the information would be completely anonymous and participants would not have to answer anything they did not want to. The paper will only be read by me and my supervisor.
I can be contacted at this email address which is jm2208@york.ac.uk or by telephone on 07551 225556
Any help you could provide would be greatly appreciated.

16/07/19 TV Documentary Series - Interview Request - Paranormal 911
Has anyone had a paranormal experience? If so Bristow Global Media are casting for the second season of “Paranormal 911. Please see below message. Anyone interested should contact Shannon McDonough direct.
My name is Shannon McDonough and I am an Associate Producer from Bristow Global Media (Toronto, Canada office). I am working on the second season of “Paranormal 911” after the great success of season 1, (which has or is about to air in the UK).
This documentary style show focuses on the stories of Police Officers and other first responders who have had a paranormal encounter while on the job. The show features a sit down interview with the Police Officer, intercut with a dramatic re-enactment that we shoot when we are back in Canada.
We will be in the London area for a few days around August 20th and I am hoping to find a few stories from the area. We are searching all over the UK and can cover the travel for anyone from out of town. The time commitment for the interview would be about 3-4 hours.
I would love to speak with anyone who has had this strange experience. If you have any questions or would like to learn more about the show, please don’t hesitate to contact me by email: smcdonough@bristowglobalmedia.com
