The Lion, the Ditch and the Water Mill

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. This approach has continued to work well for us, although admittedly it is a stretch to call it a model. 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...

Greenwich Park – Touching The Past

Image
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...

Synchronicity – coincidental occurrences or events with meaning?

A Church and some Snowdrops Synchronicity – a concept introduced by the psychologist Carl Jung almost a 100 years ago, who stated that events are meaningful coincidences if they occur with no causal relationship, yet seem to be meaningfully related. The term has enjoyed a renaissance in recent years within the paranormal community, but it is actually phenomena that the Psychic Questing community has been acutely aware of for over 40 years and plays a significant part in their activities. Throughout our research, we’ve encountered many instances of synchronicity, many of which we’ve only been aware of after the event, but does it really have any deep meaning? Snowdrops To illustrate the point, recently, we visited a churchyard in a neighbouring village to photograph the first emerging snowdrops of the year, prompted by a post that we’d seen on social media the previous day. We were honestly expecting more...... It was a cold, damp day, so our focus was pu...
