In November 1998, Ernie Boxall’s wonderful partner and mother to two of his three daughters decided she was tired of being second to his desire to be a football coach. The years of raising two young daughters, while Ernie spent his free time coaching, proved too much, and he moved out while his partner began a new life with the girls. Ernie had to move out of the home and closer to his work at a local hospital. It was his darkest time, seeking to rebuild life in a new location while still keeping in contact with his daughters. The worst moment came when he arrived home to find that his daughter had been attacked by the partner of the woman who lived opposite, who, it turned out, was a known to the police. He felt a failure, and the pressure grew. The hospital was restructuring, and the change was too much: he was sacked (on a false charge), and the world crashed. The change came on the first day he went shopping after the sacking. He took the wrong turn at a junction and found himself driving past a university and a sign advertising Tai Chi. That wrong turn in the road changed my life. The Tai Chi led to an introduction to Shiatsu Therapy and, over three years, an introduction to the art of listening to people’s stories. Ernie became a Tai Chi and Shiatsu practitioner and set up his own business. It wasn’t easy, but it wasn’t hard either, because Ernie had a gift for listening and delivering good networking pitches. It gave him the platform to deliver his 60 second presentations with authority. It also gave him an insight into the number of business owners who leave money on the table because of the unwittingly mistakes many make when anxiety and dread hamper their impact. Ernie started a business working with them to deliver presentations with impact. He turned to podcasting to deliver “No Story Stagnates”, with guests from all over the world, and hosted a live “No Story Stagnates” event where storytellers, authors, poets, and musicians entertained the audience.

There was a man who grew up in a time when stories were told in the evenings, when television ended at 6 pm. Today, that man tells stories to the public and helps people tell their own stories to the maximum number of people without anxiety or dread.

We used to tell ghost stories at night around the campfire but I never thought these stories could be real till i had an unsettling experience! I was a mrmber if a public affairs unit when I was in the US Navy Reserve. We were invited to the Naval Post Graduate School in Monterrey California in the United States to help with an open house. On the campus is the Delmonte Hotel, a hotel over 100 years old with an extensive history of hauntings and ghostly activities. I was just a yeoman (administrative person) with no journalistic experience so they let me handle the children at the Open House. It was my job to tell them the ghost stories!! I diligently worked at digging up the ghost stories to scare these poor little children! There was the story of the bride and groom who were killed in an earthquake at the hotel on their wedding night. They roamed the hotel in their wedding regala at night. There was the story of a server who was holding stemmed glassware in both hands and making fun of ghosts in the dining room- the lights went out and when they came back on the globes if the crystal glasses were missing, only the stems were in his hands!! I did an excellent job of scaring the children all day long! That night I had a hotel room all to myself. I took a shower and went to bed. In the middle of the night the mattress of my bed flattened, someone was getting into bed with me! I screamed and ran across the room and turned on the lights expecting to find a prankster in my room. But there was no one in my room but me! The ghosts were giving me a dose of my own medicine!! So yes, I believe in ghosts!!
