Welcome
However, just what this something actually is, is anyones guess, because
it might just be that what they have produced might be genuinely magickal in
nature and have no connection to the traditional spirit realm in any form. This
of course assumes that we have any real idea of what the spirit realm actually is
and how it functionsand in fact, despite many impassioned claims to the
contrary, we do not. In this sense the two articles mentioned here are both
examples of the same concept, but looked at from different perspectives, and
what both do show is just how endlessly fascinating it really is.
To consider an afterlife as another form of existence, and to actively
communicate with it, is magick by any other name and to create (conjure?) a
living creature by a force of will alone is an outright magickal process. In fact,
if one thinks about it, religion is little more than a legitimised form of magick
(yes, the spelling is deliberate) and it can be difficult to decide which one
legitimised the other. However, if one considers that magick has been
around for millennia longer than monotheism, then it soon becomes clear
that magick legitimised religion.
Incidentally, its not often that I will promote any one individual, but every so
often someone appears on the paranormal scene offering something a little
different and on Jan 2011 Don Philips & his team G.S.I Paranormal UK did just
that. Last year they began making waves with the release of their investigation
footage on You-tube; this resulted in Don being invited onto chat shows, filming
with ITV and giving radio interviews. So whats different about G.S.I?
Don has an uncanny independently witnessed ability to speak with
spirits, whilst many groups struggle for good EVPs, there is little doubt that
the spirits are more than willing to speak with Don. Not only do they reply to
him, but most of the time they do so very loudly and clearly. Don and his
group are now gathering a sizeable following remarkably quickly and are
poised to be the leading paranormal investigation team in the UK. Don is also
well known for travelling the country assisting anyone reporting activity in
their homes and claims a 100% success rate.
Traditional methods of house clearing such as the use of sage / holy
water etc, which are known to be effective in some case, are not those that
Don chooses to use. No one is sure exactly what he does, (he says he is not a
medium, but in my humble opinion he has to be), but he enters a haunted
location empty handed and it would appear that all activity has ceased by the
time he leaves. G.S.I Paranormal U.K will be shooting a new TV series later
this year, which, if the You-tube video evidence is anything to go, by should be
a huge success. More information including footage can be found at

bombshell Ill sign off.

EXORCISM!
By
Terry
Stokes
THERE IS MUCH ARGUMENT IN THE SPIRITUAL PRESS RIGHT NOW AMONG SCHOLARS,
AS TO WHAT AN EXORCISM REALLY IS. SHOULD IT BE A PSYCHOLOGICAL PROCESS? IS IT
A SPIRITUAL OR PSYCHIATRIC SICKNESS? CAN DEPRESSIVE TREATMENTS HELP? MY OLD
COLLEAGUE, DAVID TYNDALL, WAS FEATURED IN THE NEWSPAPERS RECENTLY.
David, whom I admire greatly for his
expertise, has for some years been a wellknown Christian cleric and he confided in
me that although he is a bible scholar, a
talented psychologist and grief counsellor,
he had attended over thirty-three exorcisms
in his seventeen years in the church. In that
time he had never seen anything which
definitely convinced him of the existence of
the paranormal. Where you draw the
guidelines in these issues is crucial, and for
a man of religion to say he did not believe in
the supernatural, when the religious word
miracle means white magic, and the
sacraments are themselves a magical rite, is
strange indeed.
The Rev. Christopher Neil-Smith
(unfortunately now deceased) would have
queues of people all day long from all over
the country for exorcism, and is rumoured
by inside sources to have helped John
Lennon, just prior to, and maybe during, his
involvement with Yoko Ono and before his
assassination, when he was under close
F.B.I surveillance. Rev. Neil-Smith saw
evidence of the paranormal everywhere he
looked; those who watched him work were
amazed at the speed of his skills, people
came from all over the world to see him and
he taught us so much. The Rev NeilSmith is
reckoned to have conducted over three
thousand exorcisms since 1949 in Britain
alone, and in 1973 the Bishop of London
gave him permission to conduct exorcism
using his own judgement.
Certainly in my prime I was on call for
anywhere in the country, and for many years
could often do one a week, and in all
fairness the amount of times I saw real
phenomena was very rare, yet whenever I
am interviewed for the media, it is these
instances that I have to keep recounting. I
reminded David Tyndall of the Bishop
Thomas (pseudonym) case, and although
this has never reached the public domain, I

WHO LOOKS OUTSIDE, DREAMS. WHO LOOKS INSIDE, AWAKES. C.G. JUNG.
I was late for a date with a beautiful girl, rushing through
the city. Where were we supposed to meet? Everywhere
looked the same. Suddenly, I bumped into my flatmate. I
didnt have time for this. Energy draining, I sank to the floor. I
was looking for someone, I told her, watching stars appear
above her in the sky.

The scene faded and the words of the lecturer from that very
evening came back to me. If youre ever in a dream and realise
its a dream, dont wake up. Try and get out of your body. But
surely I was simply now awake, back in my bed. I tried moving
my arm upwards very slowly in the manner illustrated by the
lecturer, feeling it pull free as if from a light material, then the
other arm, until they both reached towards the ceiling. Normal.
Except they were transparent. My mind felt clear and calm as
never before. A tremendous gravity around my chest and head,
however, kept me from pulling completely free. And, perhaps, I
didnt really want to leave my physical body just yet, anyway.
This was enough. This was incredible. I relaxed and slipped into
waking and sat up, back in my body. Shivers tingled up and
down my spine as I stood up. And I noticed in that moment a
sudden new conviction. We do not really ever die.
In the years to come I would remain fascinated by the
phenomenon and, without actively pursuing it much further,
would spontaneously experience a handful of similar
conscious projections. These included, once again, the
mental clarity, the restraining weight around my core
perhaps a physical translation of subconscious trepidation
the passing of limbs through a low ceiling, and, on one
occasion, even a two-way mental communication with another
mind, conducted as mundanely as if I were merely receiving
remote IT support, which humorously advised me on how to
free my astral self (Do like Nancy and Frank swing.). But
the excitement of the encounter only awakened me.
Reductive scientific explanations for the phenomenon
never interested me (Electro-chemical illusions in the brain,
nothing to see here, move along.). I was always intuitively
drawn to a more meaningful explanation. But, a new book by
the consciousness theorist, Anthony Peake, The Out of Body
Experience: The History and Science of Astral Travel, seeks to
examine both approaches, forging a synthesis, and a new

THETHWEIRDEST
60 BIRTHDAY.. . .
ORBS ARE NOW BIG NEWS. THEY HAVE
TAKEN CENTRE STAGE WITH THE FAIRIES
AND ANGELS. ORB PHENOMENA IS
BECOMING BIG BUSINESS.
There are books on orbs, lectures on orbs,
conferences on orbs and even healing by
orbs. Yes, orbs have finally arrived with great
gusto and all around the world, they are
infiltrating our digital technology. Some people
are pleased to see an orb sitting on their
shoulder, while others are quite displeased and
feel the picture has been ruined, and so delete
the image and try again. So are they particles of
dust or unknown intelligences? Scattering of
light or a meeting of dimensions? Whatever this
is, it is causing great excitement. I have taken
some excellent images of orbs with my digital
camera, and have included some examples with
this article.
However, this article is not about orbs.well,
maybe. Its about an amazing event that
happened around the time of my 60th birthday.
First though, I must mention one thing. Last
summer I was moving from my home of 21
years and felt sad about leaving such a
wonderful place. Nestled in woodland with
views towards the mountains, the top floor of
this large country house gave me all the space I
could possibly need. The hallway was 66 feet in
length; it then turned a right angle and travelled
on for a further 66 feet. Warm in the summer
and cold in the winter, many nights were spent
reading in front of a large coal fire. I often turned
off the lights and watched the glow of the
flames and embers dance their shadows
around the room. I had many experiences here,
with my space brothers and other phenomena. I
composed my songs, wrote my poetry, read my
books and typed my articles and now, all this
was going to end. A developer had purchased
the property and was about to turn it into luxury
apartments. A rather rude and arrogant man, he
told one of my neighbours that he purchased
this building because there was nothing left to
develop in this area.
After a lot of searching I found another
place to live, and in very similar surroundings to

DOORWAYS:
THE PATH THROUGH A DARK FOREST
32 paranormalmagazine.co.uk
with only a few entrances into the subterranean regions (but often found
by well-diggers, construction work, and so on). On the afternoon under
study, these two young explorers, machetes and tomahawks at their belts,
headed out for the deep woods. The hope was to see a deer, some
coyotes, a bobcat, or some other denizen of the forest. The machetes and
tomahawks weren't for use in hunting, but in clearing a path through
dense brush if necessary, and to dispatch a poisonous snake if the
opportunity were thrust upon them (the region is rife with cottonmouth
moccasins, rattlesnakes, and copperhead vipers).
As they reached a particularly remote clearing in the woods, they were
startled to first hear rocks and sticks being thrown in their direction
repeatedly, and then to see small heads peering at them from behind
bushes and trees - not just once, but many times. They described these
creatures, which they saw very clearly, as humanoid, ranging in height
from three to four feet, and hairless. The oversized heads were on spindly
bodies, but at least one of the entities had strangely broad shoulders
beneath its melon-like head, which unlike the others, had black skin. The
skin of the other creatures was a dirty tan, almost the colour of wood.
The boys began a cautious, but calm retreat. By the time they'd gone a
few hundred yards toward home (still about half a mile away), they passed
an ancient barn overgrown with trees and shrubbery, unused for decades.
Looking back, they saw yet another of these beings leaning out from
behind a tree about thirty yards away. One of the boys wanted to flee with
all haste; the other boy, the father of whom had encountered such things
before, was all for going back with a sturdy tomahawk axe and inquiring of
the creature as to what its general attitude problem really was. He was
scarcely constrained by his friend, and they retreated homeward.
Later, the boy with the axe and his father discovered that there was a
deep, narrow sinkhole in the vicinity of the barn, about twenty yards from
it. This hole plunges down to some unknown depth in the top of the hill on
which the barn stands. If there are subterranean hollows in the area, then
they were probably massively flooded during the time of the encounter, as
the downpour had been both torrential and prolonged. Could this have
driven the beings out of their normal habitat? And did the extremely heavy
overcast conditions contribute to the boldness of what may well have been
sub-terrestrial beings?
In this same region, the Choctaw Indians have legends of a variety of
non-human beings, believed to dwell in the wild places to this day. One
type of being is the Bohpoli, or "little stone thrower", also believed to be
an abductor of children, youths, and maidens. As with the "little people" of
many cultures around the world, the Bohpoli are said to dwell in cavernhomes deep beneath the ground.
Over the next several days, many strange things happened around the
farm. Something kept turning the stiff door-knob and opening the door of
an old travel-trailer or caravan in the dead of night, even with a number of
belligerent and vigilant dogs in the yard. While getting ready for bed one
night, the father of the bolder boy saw a small, thin form of brown colour,
about four feet tall, glide swiftly past the window and between two vehicles
on the carport. The dogs in general were in an uproar most nights,
throughout the night, with a tone of fear in their barking; normally
aggressive and willing to plunge into the woods, the canines held back at
the edge of the trees. As late as a week later, a visitor who knew nothing
about any of these events, was startled when she saw a short "figure" dart
behind a woodpile and shrubbery behind the house and in front of the
woods, illuminated momentarily in a motion-activated security light.
Two weeks later, things had quieted down quite a bit. The two boys

BACKGROUND
And so it was that on Sunday 24th January 2011 I drove out to meet Susan
and her family at their home. They were very welcoming, and Susan was
happy to share with me the details of what she had experienced, both the
incidents in December, and also other experiences from earlier in her life
which may be connected. I was immediately struck by how honest and
down-to-earth (no pun intended) she seemed, and I have no doubt at all
that she experienced the incidents exactly how she described. This was
confirmed further when I returned to the house on 6th February with a
hypnotherapist, who regressed Susan back to the two incidents. This
sometimes-controversial technique produced some additional details, plus
an emotional recollection of what took place.
INITIAL ABDUCTION
It was the night of 2nd December 2010. The night began just like any other.
Late in the evening Susan put her daughters to bed in the converted loft.
She and her husband went to bed about 12.30am. Her husband soon
dropped off, but Susan found she could not sleep and lay awake in bed.
At some point after 1am she decided to walk through and check on her
daughters, something she often did. Whenever she does this, she tends to
have a quick glance out of the window of their room. It was when she did
this that she saw the strange glowing object already mentioned at the start
of this article.
INTRODUCTION
Susan peered out of the window of her daughters bedroom. It was quite a
clear night and she could make out the farmers fields, which lay alongside
the property. Away in the distance over a small copse of trees, she noticed a
bright glowing light. It was white with a slight tint of orange in it. The light
was not completely round, but had a flattened oval shape to it. Its going to
crash Susan thought. But as she continued to watch she realised it looked
different to an aeroplane. She grabbed a piece of paper and held it up to the
glass to assure herself that she wasnt looking at a reflection from inside the
room. The light was still present. She turned round for a moment to check
on her girls. When she looked back she was surprised to see that the object
was now much closer, low down in the field adjacent to the house. And
immediately a thought came to her mind Oh...its watching me.
This incident was only the beginning of two fascinating experiences
By Dave
Hodrien
Back in her room Susan checked the time on her mobile phone, it
was 1.38am. Strangely, she then removed her nightgown. This was not
something she would normally do as it goes against her beliefs. Stranger
still, when I initially interviewed her she could not remember doing this,
she only remembered doing so under regression. Back in bed, she found
she could still not get to sleep. She did not think about the glowing object
outside at all. A short while later her younger daughter suddenly
appeared at the doorway of the room. She said she had felt something
pull her on the leg. Susan told her it was probably one of the cats and
that she should go back to bed, which she did.
Susan lay there a while longer and felt certain that she did not drop
off to sleep. Suddenly she got the urge to open her eyes. When she did,
she found she was no longer in her bedroom! She appeared to be lying
down on a hard flat surface. She did not observe what she was lying on
directly but could feel it. To her right she could see her elder daughter
kneeling alongside her on top of a table-like structure. Behind her
daughter there was nothing, only darkness. Her daughter leaned over and
said to her Dont be scared mum, its your turn next, theyre not going to
hurt you. Dont be scared. She then felt a pulling sensation on one of her
heels and then felt motion, like she was moving through some kind of
tunnel. This was just a feeling rather than something visual.
She then found herself in a different place. She found herself free
floating in darkness. She could no longer feel the surface below her. All
around her were what looked like glowing gridlines made of pale green
light, which split the area up into cubes. These lines did not pass through
her but appeared to be all over whatever area she was in. She could not
see anything beyond them. Susan also found that she was paralysed, and
could only move her eyes. She could sense the presence of a tall being
standing right behind her, and felt that it was resting its hand on the top of
her head, although she could not see anything there. The temperature of
this place seemed normal, but she could hear strange rhythmic sounds,
which reminded her of machinery.
Suddenly she began to experience what felt like numerous hands
prodding and touching her skin. When I first spoke with Susan about this
she did not remember seeing anything around her. Under hypnosis she
described seeing small shadowy figures, but she could not see any other
details. The prodding sensations began at her shoulders and then started
working their way down her body. While this was happening she
wondered why she was not frightened. This in turn served to actually
make her frightened, but she would then hear a voice inside her head
telling her not to be scared. This had the immediate effect of calming her
down; she says it felt like the tall being behind her was actually reaching
into her mind and placing these feelings there.
At the time of the incident, Susan had a bad back. As the sensations
reached this area she spoke to whoever was there using her mind, saying
Youre going to hurt my back. She then heard a response say Were
not going to hurt your back. Look. Then she felt one of her legs being
moved up and down, as if to prove to her that there was no pain. She
then became aware of a strange looking machine which was between
her legs.
What followed next was an interal examination. This was
understandably quite upsetting, and during the regression she became
quite emotional stating I dont want them to do this.
While this procedure was going on, Susan felt there was an urgency
to the situation as if whoever was in charge was running out of time.
A white light suddenly appeared off to her left. It looked like the light
from a doorway, which had suddenly opened at the edge of the darkened
area in which she was floating. Standing in this light was a very tall figure.
At first she assumed it was her own son as he is almost 6 and a half feet
tall. However, she soon realised that this being was even taller, closer to 8
feet in height.
Before the regression, Susan could only remember seeing the
silhouette of this being. However while she was hypnotised she was able
to remember more details about it. What she described was a tall grey
being. It had a slender body with long arms and legs and an over-sized
head. Its eyes were large, black and teardrop-shaped. She does not
paranormalmagazine.co.uk 35
remember seeing a nose or mouth, but this could have been because of
the distance of the being to herself. Susan stated that it looked kind, and
she was not scared of it.
FOLLOW ON ABDUCTION
She then heard the tall Grey speak in her mind. However, what it said
appeared to be directed not at her, but at the smaller shadowy beings
around her. It asked What are you doing with her? Why is she still here?
Susan then felt the familiar pulling sensation on her heel. Before her
regression she just remembered suddenly being back in bed. However,
under hypnosis she recalls the sense of moving through a tunnel again.
This time the experience was not preceded by a UFO sighting. Susan was
taken from her bed at an unknown time while she was sleeping. The
incident felt to her like a very vivid dream. However, there are numerous
reasons why I feel this really took place. The experience began with the
familiar tugging at her feet and the feeling that she had moved through a
tunnel. However, this time - rather than find herself in darkness - Susan
could see her surroundings clearly.
She found herself in a clean and clinical looking room. There were
brown wooden panels all over the walls, and two frames on the wall with
some sort of writing on that she could not read. She was once again
naked and lying down on a flat hard table-like structure. This time she had
a thin white sheet draped over her body from the neck down, and some
kind of soft pillow under her head.
To her right was a strange looking man. He had human features, but
his skin was very pale. He was wearing dark rimmed glasses and had
short red hair. He was wearing a white doctors coat. But what troubled
Susan was that his face, in some way, did not seem real. It appeared to be
blurred, and under hypnosis Susan stated that it looked like it wanted to
fall off. The man had his arms outstretched over her, holding his hands a
short distance above the sheet. Again Susan noticed something was not
right with the hands. At first they appeared normal, but then seemed to
change. There were less than 5 fingers and they were long and pointed. At
first she thought the man was sitting down alongside her, but after a while
she felt he was actually short in height and standing next to her. The man
told her he was a doctor, but Susan did not believe him, and instinctively
felt that it was something else masquerading as a human doctor.
In many contact cases the ETs have demonstrated the ability to mask
either their own appearance, or even the appearance of the surroundings.
This is usually referred to as a screen memory. The features Susan
describes suggest that this was a Grey using a screen memory, probably
to make the situation seem more familiar to her.
Witness drawing of the room, her position within it, and the
being alongside her:
To her left Susan could once again sense the presence of a tall being of
some kind, but just as before she could not actually see it. She felt it was
the same one that had been there in her previous experience. The short
man began to move his hands down over Susans body. As he did, he
stopped at various places and then spoke to her directly in her mind. He
moved his hands down over her stomach area and told her that she had
an ulcer but that it wasnt causing her any discomfort. Then he moved a
little lower and told her that she had low blood sugar, but wasnt diabetic.
Susan was worried that he was going to tell her she had cancer. But the
man then moved his hands down over her uterus and told her that she
didnt need to worry about this.
The man then told her that it was going to check her cholera
(pronounced chow-lair-a). Susan had no idea what this word meant, but
the man moved his hands to the left side of her belly. She sensed that
something had been put inside her on a previous occasion and this is
what he was checking up on. I have not been able to find any part of the
body relating to that name. It is possible that Susan had, or still has, an
implant inside of her that she is unaware of at present.
This was essentially the end of her experience. Susan remembers the
feeling of travelling through a tunnel again, but after that she did not wake
up and only remembered the incident in the morning. When she got out of
bed she found that her back was feeling much better. This feeling
persisted for a number of days, and although since then it has started to
get worse again, it is still not as bad as it used to be. Could Susans back
have received healing as part of her second experience?
Susan also noticed there were two bruises on her belly around the
area of her ovaries but not completely symmetrical. She also started
bleeding again, more heavily this time. In the weeks after the experience,
Susan found that she now has a normal 28 day menstrual cycle, whereas
before her experiences it had always been an abnormal 45 day cycle. She
seemed to have been altered permanently in some way.

CONCLUSIONS
This is truly a stunning contact case, and one of the most intriguing I have
yet looked into. There are many reasons why I feel that these incidents
were real. The experiences fit in extremely well with other reported contact
cases. There are many aspects to them which have been reported time
and time again by contactees. However at the time of these experiences
Susan had not looked into the ET contact subject, so had no way of
knowing how closely they fitted. In fact, initially she did not even believe
that the experiences were down to extraterrestrials.
There are, however, certain aspects which are extremely unusual. One
particularly intriguing aspect is the glowing grid lines that Susan saw all
around herself while floating in darkness during her first experience. I have
not come across any other case yet where these grid lines have been
seen, obviously thats not to say that there are none. The witness suffered
much emotional trauma coming to terms with these experiences. This
trauma has been plain to see, and it is not something that would come
from nothing more than vivid dreams or an over-active imagination.
Susan is a Muslim, so she has also had to consider how these
experiences fit with her religious beliefs. There are also other physical
aspects to the case such as the bruising that was discovered after her
second abduction, the bleeding that occurred after both incidents, and
the fact that since these two experiences her back has seemed to be a lot
better. There are a number of incidents, which have happened to Susan
earlier in her life, some of which fit in with ongoing ET contact.
Unfortunately, I do not have the space to go into these in this article, but it
is certainly a possibility that Susan has experienced contact since an
early age.

It goes without saying that I find the video footage very interesting
indeed. After speaking with the family for many hours on numerous
occasions I am absolutely convinced that it is not a hoax the footage is
definitely genuine and the family have not tried to fake anything in any way
(take my word for it). It seems too much of a coincidence that on the night
Susan has her second abduction experience something unusual was then
found on the footage when she played it back. There is nothing that
directly conflicts with the idea that she was taken from her bed, and then
put back in exactly the same position. In her first experience, from what we
have learned from the regression it seems that she was initially returned to
the adjoining kitchen rather than the bedroom. However, this could have
been accidental and down to the urgency that Susan sensed with the
situation.
Could this footage be actual proof that Susan was abducted? I cannot
say for certain, Im not sure anyone really can. If it does show Susan
vanishing from the bed then it is one of the most important contact related
videos to have ever been filmed. But it is all too easy to ignore the rest of
the case and concentrate only on the footage aspect. As I mentioned
earlier, sometimes abductions can take place where the individuals
physical body is not taken. With this in mind, whether the footage really
shows Susan disappearing and reappearing is, at the end of the day,
irrelevant; I feel certain that the experiences took place, and it is these that
should be discussed and analysed going forward.
I would like to end by thanking Susan for having the bravery to come
forward with this sensitive information, and for the hospitality shown by
both her and her family. Without the testimonies from individuals such as
Susan, the ET contact subject would be barely known about, and for this
reason they all deserve our ongoing thanks and support.

Ellis Taylor
INTRODUCTION
Ive had an eventful Christmastide, as
wonder full as can be. A week ago things
looked bleak. Not because of the ice and snow
that lay all about the Isles, though it called for
long walks up and down the mountain where I
live; that was more of an adventure, and the
views, the views! Well, it was worth every step
and slide. No, it was something other. My mind
was, and had been for a long while, busier with
working on manifesting the necessary to drive
over 500 miles, to Dorset, on the south coast of
England (and back), to spend Christmas with
my daughter and grandchildren before they
flew back to Australia, after 3 weeks holidaying
in England. It would be a long time before I
would be able to see them again.
As things are, manifesting is only a fleeting
concept to someone like me, who is 7s all the
way, I inhabit the unmanifest. When I touch
down I leave a mark; 7s do that, so feelings,

The days of the Winter Solstice are a time of

when we are shown glimpses of both heaven

Two days before the Saturn bluff a generous
friend, who will remain anonymous, sent me
enough money for a lifetime subscription to
Otherworld Journeys. Hes a very private man,
a true sovereign being, not a joiner, and hes
not a subscriber to anything, but hes got a
heart bigger than Western Australia, and it's his
way of giving without it seeming like charity. He
moves in big business, but in his own way;
sublimely ethical he takes on the reptile and
demonstrates every day how goodness and
integrity can vanquish the darkest demons. He
has faith in me, in what I do. He didnt know it
but his gift meant that I could see my family. I
am blessed with beautiful friends, in the true
meaning of the words, who have been there for
me. I am very fortunate, and it is their
WHICH GOD?
Further down the road I was tailgated by a 4wheel drive - number plate Y4 HOO, and
getting closer to my destination - Dorset (Door
Set, and I think it was, Ill tell you later), a small
car bearing the born-again fish shot out in front
of me from a side road when I was only about
10 yards away and
doing 60. Fortunately
the road here wasnt
as icy as most of the
roads down that way.
The moment that I
had left the
motorway my sat-nav
had decided to play
silly-buggers (though
it could have been
earlier as it doesnt
talk to me on motorways) and I found myself
visiting places Id never been to before like
Stanton Drew, Templecombe and other
mysterious places, well out of my way. Im not
good at directions, but it seems to me that I
was destined to visit these spots for some
reason or other.
the man.
My sister. ...Youre smiling, the man
said to me.
I am, says I. Youre not who you say
you are.
The man gave a rumbled look and tried to
stare into my mind; I felt it and refused him. M
returned to the room with the telephone
directory.
Robbie? Robbie?...is this them? Uh, yes,
yes, I think thats them.
M phoned the number and said that we
had a gentleman with us who was lost and
says he is trying to
get to them.
Well, we cant
come and get him,
the person at the
other end said. We
dont have a fourwheel drive.
Well, someone
will have to, replies
M, You cant expect
him to walk four
miles in this weather. During this the man
took from his pocket a tin, opened it to reveal a
fat, ancient-looking, ochre-coloured glass
syringe and other items. Pointing the syringe at
me he said that it could be very difficult
being a diabetic. "35!" he exclaimed without
doing anything.
The syringe set was similar to this but the
glass was a yellowy brown colour, (and I only
recall the one syringe.) After a little to-ing and
fro-ing the person on the phone agreed to
meet our visitor at the pub, the same one that I
had stopped outside. F, and my son-in-law,
would drive him there. Your cottage is so
bright, it shines like a beacon. It can be seen
for miles, the man stated. M went to rouse F
who was still in bed trying to sleep off his
illness. The man had avoided eye-contact with
me since M had returned with the telephone
directory, and continued to do so even as he
left. I bade him farewell anyway. When they had
gone M commented upon how unconcerned
the Robbies had appeared: They just
seemed cold. Youd think, wouldnt you, that
theyd have wanted to make sure he was all
right. Wouldnt you? But they really didnt want
to help him. It was very unlike me to insist like
that, but F isnt well and I cant have him driving
miles in these conditions. Its like one of
those folktales, says I, When the devil (Set)
visits a lonely house at Christmas. M is
certainly psychic, but whether she
acknowledges that Im not sure. She is quite a
strong Christian, and how that would sit with
her I dont know. Something guided her to
refuse the card - adamantly...but not so for F,
unfortunately. When F, and my son-in-law
returned they were quite bemused by the
goings on. Theyd driven to the pub; the man
had got out and said that he would be all right.
They were about to drive off when my son-
SNOW LADY
The beautiful county of Dorset was like the
tundra, a sheet of ice and snow, most of the
roads were un-driveable for my little car, but
eventually I made it, after a 9-hour journey, to a
little pub on a hill, not far from my destination.
As I pulled up I made to phone my daughter
and discovered that I had no phone signal. A
car drove up beside me; it was my son-in-law
and his uncle (F). They guided me through the
snow till we came to the isolated cottage
where I was to spend Christmas with them.
The cottage, homely and bright, full of the
cheer of children and warm log fires, charming
company and excited chatter, was such a
welcome. I felt no tiredness; the hours had
vanished like the leaves of the orchard. The
children excitedly hastened me outside to see
the snow lady that they had built. She is
beautiful. Theyd built her for Father
Christmas and Rudolph. Theyd integrated
with the season.
DOOR SET
However I did notice, back at the pub, that F
didnt look himself. I soon heard that hed
caught a virus, a particularly vicious one, but
the doctor had assured him that it was a 24hour job. On Christmas Day, F was a bit better,
he rallied himself for Christmas morning, but
just after dinner he took to his bed again; and
then my granddaughter succumbed. We said
she could have another Christmas Day

ANOMALISTIC PSYCHOLOGY

When questioned by the (ITV) film crew who joined us on

French, head of the Anomalistic
Psychology Research Unit
research facility at Goldsmiths
University (London) and a
leading sceptic, confessed that
in the absence of the usual
arguments such as hanging
camera straps, equipment
malfunction and light
reflections etc., "I have
absolutely no explanation what
this can be or what Don has
captured here".
The reason we caught this
anomaly was because, whilst
at a much publicised haunted
location, I ventured into the
kitchen, and - being very
sensitive to such things - I felt a
massive build up of energy. I
instructed Tony Robson (my
tech guy and ex-air force
Project Bluebook) to set up
some capture equipment, stating, "I think we have a portal
here", we left for the evening and the next day returned to
find these images.

The Abbey owned
most of the village

The Abbey must have had regular dealings with the manor in
Weedon, in fact, historical research reports that the Abbot
became Lord of the manor in Weedon and earned a
profitable wage from this position. It is also reported that the
lord was rather unscrupulous to villagers who trespassed on
his land, he would even insist on them paying fines for any of
their animals that would stray onto his territory.2 To get to and
from the manor, that was either situated in Upper or Lower
Weedon, must have involved crossing the playing field, the
lugubriously named Gallows-Furlong, around what is now
New Croft estate. This dingy area could have been where our

SaOF THE KNIGHTS
I FIRST BECAME AWARE OF SACRED GEOMETRY AFTER READING JOHN MITCHELLS 1969
BOOK THE VIEW OVER ATLANTIS LINKING LEY LINES TO MEGALITHS AND PUTTING
GLASTONBURY ON THE ROAD TO BECOMING AN ICON OF THE COUNTERCULTURE.
In City of Revelation in 1972 Mitchell put
emphasis on solar and lunar qualities
announcing that the mysteries of the
universe are all based on numbers. One
original citation of his research was to argue that
the biblical catch of 153 fish was constructed on
a hidden geometry. My own part in a geometric
mystery came to me first hand when
encountering the sacred geometry involved with
Rennes-le-Chateau in 1985 when liaising with
David Wood from Tunbridge Wells in Kent.
David had written his controversial GenIsis...The
first book of Revelation and demonstrated
sacred geometry throughout the Rennes valley,
as did Henry Lincoln to a lesser degree in some
of his work.
The Rennes sacred geometry connection
returned to my attention in 2006, after having
found evidence of it within my own research into
Lincoln Cathedral. I then came across the work
of Tony Peart from Bloxholm, Lincolnshire, and
his Templar Mechanics website. Tony is a
Geomancer with a natural connection to the
land. Whereby my own deductions led me to a
specific Templar location opposite the
Cathedrals South East corner, Tonys mastery is
in reading the hidden treasure within the
landscape and the energy patterns that manifest
within the locality of sacred sites. In his book
On Earth as it is in Heaven, my friend,
mathematician and astronomer Greg Rigby
showed in 1996 a magnificent and yet simple
series of patterns linking key cathedrals in
Northern France. Below is a brief introduction
in to the Templar Mechanic research and in
particular The Temple Bruer Enigma.
Geomancy (the name literally means foresight by earth, which itself derives from the Arabic, ilm al-raml or
science of the sand) is one of the truly ancient divinatory arts, in this case it involves reading natural markings
on the landscape. This method can also be used by throwing sand, or soil onto the ground and interpreting the
patterns it makes. All this morphs quite neatly with the use of an allied and highly controversial technique called
sacred geometry, where the location of various natural features on the landscape like mountains etc are
assumed to have mystical significance. This is frequently assumed to be why various structures like stone circles
and churches etc. are built on certain locations to harness these hypothetical and invisible earth energies.

Despite the dismissal of the scientific
community, and the often-expressed
disapproval of the religiously inclined, the
whole subject continues to fascinate the
general public. The reasons for this are not
hard to fathom really. Science, whilst offering
profound insights into the workings of Nature,
seems to have a 'cold heart' when it comes to
our own existences, and religious teachings,
whilst being far more 'warm and cuddly' in that
respect, are suffering from their own glaring
intellectual inconsistencies as scientific
progress uncovers ever deeper secrets of how
Creation works.

When I was about 11 or so, I had a very
strange experience, which left me quite
shaken. Im not sure whether it was a dream or if
it happened, but I will describe it and let you
make up your own mind. I had been asleep, but
felt sure that I had woken. It was around
midnight, and it wasnt unusual for me to wake
up without realising it. I remember that I was
looking out of the window for some strange
reason. I became aware of some movement at
the front of the house that was diagonal and to
the left of my home. As I looked, two small men
(about three feet tall) with bald heads were
climbing out through a closed window at the side
of the door, almost like a cellar window, although
none of the houses in the street had a cellar.
Once out of the window they straightened
their clothes, which looked not unlike a medicaltype mans uniform, and they had a Gladstonetype medical bag. They then turned to each
other and appeared to be conversing, although
they werent actually talking - their lips werent
moving - but I just knew they were talking. Then
one shook his head and they embraced. Just as
they were about to leave they seemed to
become aware of me, and the ear of one of
them elongated and reached all the way up to
my window, at which point I hid under my

Readers Letters
Dear Brian
This is what we witnessed on 17th Augu
st /18th
August 2011. My friend Ash and I had been
working at the Iron Age village at The Midd
en,
Wells-Next-The-Sea, Norfolk, and as there
are
clear skies at night down there, we sorte
d out a
date to do a little sky-watching. I drove 15
miles
down from Hunstanton on the Wednesda
y
evening to meet Ash on site, and we gath
ered
some wood for our fire and sorted food and
drink
out, plus jackets as we were going to be outsi
de
until about 1.30am(ish). The winds were
light
and blowing in from the east coast to the
south
west, and the clouds were very few and
sparse.
At about 10pm we each lay back on a long
bench,
just gazing up in to the night sky - nothing
much
to see for some time, just the odd shooting
star!
We chatted for a while just small talk then we
heard a church clock strike midnight and
this
got me to refocus on what we were doing
there,
so to speak.
Shortly after this, Ash said, Theres a plane
heading south, possibly to Norwich Airport?
Yep, thats a plane, I said as we could see
the
navigation light. But what we didnt notic
e at the
time was a large, milky-white light a little
lower
than the plane coming from the North West
. This
passed just under and behind the plane so
the
cockpit crew must have seen it! It looked
to us
that they were possibly going to crash into
each
other! This was a very near miss, and shou
ld
have been reported. Well, I thought that
at least
we did get to see something so it wasnt a
waste

Brevertons Phantasmagoria:
A Compendium of Monsters Myths and Legends
When I first looked at the cover of this remarkable book I
was instantly reminded of an old TV show called The Good
Old Days, which ran from 1953 until (amazingly) 1983, and
was presented in the style of Edwardian/ Victorian music
hall entertainment. The show was introduced by an eveningsuited, white-gloved, host-cum-compere-cum-interlocutor who
presented each act to the suitably dressed audience with a
great flourish and in a typically florid manner, saying
something like, Ladies and gentlemen, for your edification,
enjoyment and delectation may I present a truly perspicacious
prestidigitator of legerdemain and flirtatious flummery. And
whatever the act was (in that case a conjuror) duly appeared
and did their stuff.
That was my first impression of this absolute gem of a
book, and whats more it does exactly what it says on the
cover. It is a work stuffed full of facts that the reader can
browse and dip into at random and be guaranteed to
unearth some absolutely fascinating nugget of information
about one of the many and unlikely subjects it covers. It is
laid out alphabetically in eight discrete and lengthy chapters
as a dictionary of the bizarre and unexplained. In fact, some
of the subjects are so far out there that it is unlikely that
being alphabetical would be of any help since they are
probably unknown to the reader in the first place, and this is
what makes it doubly fascinating. This is a treasury of the
strange, the mystical and the anomalous, it is something that
Charles Fort himself would have both admired and desired.

Just now and again a book emerges that really does live
up to its claims and hype. Examples of this very rare breed
include Lyall Watsons Supernature, Colin Wilsons The
Occult, Graham Hancocks Supernatural and the Solomons
The Scole Experiment. At long last here is another one that
dwarfs these in the sheer magnitude and scope of what it
achieves and that is Crystal Clear by Richard T Cole. This
book demonstrates that, as it says on the cover, Everything
you think you know about the paranormal, life and the
universe just changed and it does, it really does. The sheer
chutzpah of the concept floors you: for the first time ever here
is a book, written by a long-time believer and researcher into
the paranormal as a genuine phenomenon, demonstrating
that the supposedly sensitive individuals, the term used in
the book, are either deluded or little more than self-serving
fakes and frauds.
The author draws on the comprehensive evidence
collected over seven years by one of his friends, referred to as
Dave; in the book, and compiles a genuinely jaw-dropping
account of what happened when a supposedly ancient
crystal skull was manufactured around eight years ago. This
skull was made of plastic resin, then polished and formed
with, among other things, an angle grinder, files and
sandpaper then passed off as the genuine article. Dave
placed adverts in various journals asking for the services of
psychics and other supposed sensitives to help channel
whatever entities were just waiting out there to regale us with
their knowledge and wisdom.
Over the course of the seven years more than four
thousand individuals channelled the skull, later referred to as
Skully. All of them produced breathless and amazing
accounts of what those who supposedly manufactured the
artefact wanted us to hear. The really astonishing thing is that,
despite Daves many concerns, not one of them divined that
the skull was not an ancient crystal artefact manufactured by
unknown technologies, including psychic chisels
apparently, but a modern plastic fake.
Fortunately, Dave had captured the vast majority of these
sessions on video tape and they include channellers, both
amateur and extremely well known, including other owners of
genuine crystal skulls, so there was no way out. Sadly, for
legal reasons that would have delayed the publication of the
book for years due to frantic litigation, no names are given,
and even some of those who devised the experiments have
been given pseudonyms. The reason for this was because
those who attribute marvellous powers to the skulls and

First and foremost this is not a horror film; it is a low(ish)
budget, but very well executed, apocalyptic thriller
about the social and ethical effects of bioterrorism on a
community living in and around Los Angeles. The cast
consists of jobbing actors who have appeared in other
bigger budget films and none of them fail to deliver. The
only one tiny issue I did have was the casting of
Christopher Masterson, who appeared in one of
consistently funniest TV shows ever to come out of the

one of two such walks. In the first walk, she reveals that a
great tragedy occurred here, but does not elaborate. It is
during the second visit that she decides that there was a
violent death here. She tunes into the boy and senses that he
did not deliberately kill himself, but accidentally fell through
the trapdoor in the floor above and died from his injuries. At
this point however events start to take a more sinister turn
after she correctly identifies the original owner of the building
by his full name; this is corroborated, an impressive feat
indeed. We also get the first inkling that the great tragedy
might have several additional layers to it.
I could go on detailing a list of the many events, but Ill
fast forward to the astonishing sance conducted at the finale
of the documentary when those present, Paul Wookey, Diane
Howe and two others sit round a table using the traditional
(and extremely risky) Ouija-like method of communication
comprising a small tumbler and the words Yes and No.
What occurs is impressive to say the least when the original
owner starts to communicate and gets angry - very angry and the EMF meter responds accordingly. We discover the
additional and unsavoury dimension of sex, revenge and
violence, and the murder of a 14-year-old girl. The medium
manages to move the spirit of the murdered girl to a better
place, a place of peace and sanctuary and Paul Wookey
justifiably concludes that he is less sceptical than before.
Well, what to make of it. This reviewer assumes (indeed
must assume) that what is seen is genuine and
unrehearsed, because anything else would render the
production worthless and show the revelations as a shallow
and mean con. What is revealed, therefore, is truly
astonishing and not a little scary; the sance and what
transpires is harrowing stuff indeed. Buy this DVD and watch
it carefully, because this is exactly how investigations into the
paranormal frequently work and it is a prime example of the
kind of phenomena seen during investigations of this kind
highly recommended!
