Paranormal Reason

Something for the weekend?
Finally got around to uploading some of our more compelling EVP captures to the website. Some we've shared before, but here they are in their raw state, no filtering or amplification.

As always, best listened to via headphones.

An important update to Dr Paul's Ghost Map, please check.

We can only agree that anywhere and everywhere can be haunted, although my research also helped me form an opinion on the majority of the background haunting, although we chose not to discuss this.

Thank you Paul, greatly appreciated. It's important to get the truth out there and you have helped by amending your description, let alone putting a link.

Yes, again I can only agree, which I briefly touch upon within the article.

Correct Sir (well, at least there are now two of us....)

Published our latest article on our website earlier - posing the question:

"Can paranormal research really follow the Scientific Method?".

Will post an introduction and link tomorrow. Think "Betteridges' Law of Headlines".

Precisely - the paranormal is within us. However, this suggestion is too radical for many sadly.

Initially, we thought it had been placed to protect the Church however, as events transpired, perhaps it was to protect the outside from what was within the grounds itself?

Clearly home made, very carefully, with a man-made hole drilled through a chalk pebble.

You need a photo from inside the room, looking to the window, could even be a lamp shade I guess.

You owe us nothing, promise.

We have discussed visiting this location later this month, but 'later' seems to be getting ever 'later'.........

.... and have messaged / rambled you on FB.

Thank you again Hayden. The trick is to approach without having an agenda or narrative to aim for, just do the digging and go with what the evidence tells you.

lol - if only!

I'll message you on another platform, but probably in the morning as I need my beauty sleep and, after just looking in the mirror, tons of it!

It was more a 'burden' if I reflect - I uncovered what I revealed early on in my research. None of it was difficult to uncover.

Every halloween I thought I'd release it, every halloween I put it off as I didn't want to interfere in any sales process etc. But this year........

Thank you Paul, coming from yourself, this is very much valued and appreciated.

As you've probably guessed, the follow up article wasn't planned but events dictated it be written, to reinforce and strengthen our research.

After the release of our research on the true location of St Osyth’s medieval lockup, we’ve been delighted by the positive feedback it’s received.

Many asked for more details, after we mentioned the 1st article didn’t include everything uncovered. So....

Thank you Hayden, the past week has been an interesting experience behind the scenes, as you can imagine but, thankfully, all positive.

I'll be posting a further update later, providing an insight to the research and, strengthening our evidence.

Truth in historical research is cumulative, not competitive. Every layer of scrutiny takes us closer to it, no matter if it takes us away from the narrative.

Our forthcoming research update later this evening will therefore clarify the evidential chain that led to our original conclusion and, explain why some maps can appear persuasive at first glance, yet fall short under detailed analysis.

This illustrates how easily a single piece of historical evidence can be visually reframed to reinforce an existing narrative, especially when viewed only in passing.

Both Laura and I have always believe that the documents, not the assumptions, should speak for themselves.

It’s been fascinating to watch the conversation around the St Osyth lock up continue.

A number of maps / estate plans have since appeared 'elsewhere' to support alternative interpretations from our research article, incl. 1 of our own adjusted archival images without seeking permission from us.

Thank for sharing and, your very kind worlds as always.

Its more about getting the facts known than anything else, there's just too much taken at face value in the paranormal community today.

They were also used as a prison for the witches that weren't executed.

The prison cells we see today today are from a later period, dating from the 18th Century.
