The after-show party

This blog
, which was named Website of the Year, was highly praised by the 20 strong judging panel with judges saying that it was "the first and the best" and that it "set the pace early on and continues to dominate the paranormal investigation field in Stoke."

Monty Deschanel's Twitter feed (
@MontyDeschanel) was described as "journalism through the medium of Twitter at its best".

Dave Munton, the founder of the awards, said: "I'm delighted to see the Stoke Paranormal Society getting the recognition it deserves, as it has been a pioneer for online news over the past year and continues to strike the right balance between news, features and paranormal coverage."

The event, which attracted entries from some of Stoke's leading paranormal websites, including PPI and Stoke-Paranormal, both of whom went home empty handed, was sponsored by Munton's Pikelets.
