Paranormal Reason

The Mermaid Inn, at the top of a long hill Glad we had a car......... Reorganising our files recently provided us with the opportunity to review some of our earlier experiences and see how we have developed our methods and processes from when we first started our journey. One of the first times that we worked together exclusively as a two person team was at a relatively well known location, especially for those in the UK, The historic Mermaid Inn, in Rye, East Sussex. Readers of our previous articles will no doubt note that early on, our research took us on a more traditional approach, consisting of monitoring, observation and recording, although Laura would often supplement our research with any ‘information’ that she received, it was not the focus of our research. As a result, this piece will probably read a lot different to what you have read previously, but we hope that you will find it interesting all the same. Background The ancient town of Rye, a membe...

It was that time of year again, the cool spring air was gradually turning into summer, allowing us to explore the local area, which was still relatively new to us at that time. Whilst looking for some suitable locations to visit within an hour’s travelling distance, I stumbled across a reference to the ruins of Waverley Abbey. At first glance, this location had an interesting history, relatively remote and seemed suitable for a visit. So what part in history had the Abbey played? A brief history of Waverley Abbey The ruins that we see today date mainly from the 13 th Century, as following severe flooding in 1201, the Abbey and its accompanying buildings were largely re-built and the layout relatively unchanged since. However, the Abbey abruptly came to the end of its life in 1536 following Henry VIII’s Dissolution of the Monasteries, whereupon the buildings were subsequently robbed and its stones used in the construction of many nearby properties, includin...

It is probably fair to say that, since our visit to Orford Castle back in August 2015, the location has persisted in keeping us busy over the ensuing days, weeks and months. Orford Castle Keep , from the car park Unlike previous locations that have proved to be of interest to us, Laura had genuinely appeared to connect with the Keep and has continued to pick up new pieces of information, relating to both the building itself and those connected to it, to the extent that we’ve now both reached the point, after several months, where we are exhausted and just wish that we’d simply experienced a straight forward trip to the Castle back in August. One of the more interesting aspects of this case is that Laura is receiving information relating to the very structure of the Keep itself, not just the individual linked to it. This could be down to the occult symbolism employed in its build, or perhaps the atmosphere of the Castle itself. So whilst we now have a multitude of lead...
