Paranormal Reason

As we’ve written previously ( The search for the answers... ), we have an attachment to a mysterious location that is possibly far more than just an ancient redundant church in the wilds of Essex. Whilst our ongoing research relating to the site is currently on hiatus, during an attempt to make sense of a pile of loose notes from Laura tucked away in a box recently, I came across a sketch with comments which, with hindsight, has clearly added to the puzzle surrounding the church. However, before I discuss the sketch itself, it would be worth placing it in some form of context, to provide further insight. Having moved away from the area following our initial visits to the church, we found ourselves living back in the area again, after a gap of seven years, although we had no motivation to revisit the location. However, this was about to change. The Missing Notes In March of 2015, I was looking forward to the release of the updated Andrew Collins’ seminal work, The Black Alch...

Beeleigh Locks, Essex Not all researchers follow the common model In the world of the paranormal, the standard model in relation to suitable locations with a haunting to investigate is usually to identify such a location or, on rare occasions, be approached by someone affected by a haunting or some other form of alleged paranormal occurrence at their property. Clearly, whilst this model works well for most, it is far removed from the one that we follow, where locations, often obscure and with no previous history of paranormal phenomena, are usually identified, via Laura’s ability to tap into the atmosphere there.

In the general course of everyday life, many such locations, be they buildings or outdoor areas, are identified but often never progressed any further by us. We simply note what we’ve observed and move on. The majority of what we’ve written to date tak...

Nōn potest cīvitās abscondī suprā montem posita On the surface, Greenwich Park is a welcoming, green, pleasant space on the south bank of the River Thames, a place for Londoners to relax over the weekend, the location of the Royal Observatory and the Prime Meridian. For some, it’s a former Royal Hunting Park where King Henry VIII and Queen Elizabeth I entertained their guests and, the place that saw England launch its dominance of the waves from the Royal Naval College on its North Western flank. However, for a few, the area has a far deeper, hidden, occult history that few suspect or can even dare to imagine. A location where the pre-christian deities of Brigid, Diana, Herne, Odin, the Snow Queen and the Dark Lady of the Fountain are said to roam, if you have the desire to seek them out. A place where you can find Saxon burial mounds, the foundations of a Roman Temple dedicated to Diana, Goddess of the Moon, an oak tree that good Queen Bess danced around...
