Big question…what is a ghost? The answer…it’s, well, a whole bunch of things, and some more
credible than others. Maybe it’s a ‘photograph’ embedded in the atmosphere or a particular
location or perhaps an impression relating to a time? Maybe a ghost has a measure of independ‐
ence or perhaps they need the interaction of human beings to manifest in the first place? A bit
like the Zen conundrum, ‘if a tree falls in the forest and no one is there, does it make a sound’?
Do ghosts appear of their own volition whether or not anyone is there to witness them? The
truth is that ‘something’ of us survives death, but just how this happens is wide open to debate.

Page 03: Exclusive interview with producer and director Edward White.
On occasion, something comes along with the capabilities of changing the perception of paranormal investi‐
gation. For countless years scientific establishments have mocked the study of the paranormal, calling it a
pseudo‐science and made remarks that would suggest that there is no evidence to support such strange
phenomena. However… that may be all about to change. A new movie currently under production may put
this debate to rest. Phenomena Magazine talks with producer / director Ed White about his latest venture... 03
Kimberley Reynolds
Page 09: Ouija.
A device that has survived the centuries and still used today, The Ouija Board, has been the topic of contro‐
versy and fear, it has been portrayed as a portal to Hell. October 2014 proved we are still obsessed with this
mature gadget, as it has a centre role in self‐titled film ‘Ouija’. As a Paranormal Investigator, I love to hear

stories about the Ouija Board. I have delved into the real science of the Ouija Board and to find its roots, to
gain a better understanding of the parlour game. Kimberley Reynolds explains...
Sean Casteel
Page 13: America’s Spiritual Destiny – From UFOs to the Prophecies of the Presidents.
In Tim Beckley’s Inner Light/Global Communications publishing house called “America’s Strange and Super‐
natural History,” a reprint of the rare, but often referred to, “Prophecies of the Presidents: The Spiritual Des‐
tiny of America Revealed” by the aforementioned Tim Beckley and his late coauthor, Arthur Crockett, gives
me great concern. The authors make us aware that not only did our former presidents have contacts with
the divine, they were also cognizant of their predestined place in history. Sean Casteel reveals... 13
Jack Pettie
Page 19: The Devil’s Due.
This is a true story concerning the paranormal, but it’s in no way your typical tale of ghostly haunting. It was
not just in my home that these things went bump in the night, they tormented me where ever I went, even
in the church where I sought refuge; and they did much more than go bump. Nonbelievers will refuse to
accept that what I encountered even exists; some might even suggest that it was a delusional mind going
through withdrawal, while others will insist that I suffer with schizophrenic episodes. Jack Pettie explains… 17
Archie Lawrie
Page 27: Two Dutch Experiences.
Former headmaster Archie Lawrie has been called to investigate more paranormal disturbances than anyone
else in Scotland. Archie believes that the scientific rules that apply to the paranormal world are not the laws
of science as we usually understand them. He has held many prestigious positions in his field of work. He is
currently Head of Psychical Research at the Sir Arthur Conan Doyle Centre, and was a psychical advisor to the
BBC for programmes like Monarch of the Glen and Sea of Souls. Archie tells of two strange Dutch cases... 21
Bret Lueder
Page 37: The Urantia Book ‐ Part 1.
To say that the Urantia Book is controversial, would be a severe underestimation. It is full of bold claims that
are the source of at least some of the criticism. It would appear that only people who don’t know about the
book are not polarized by it: You either think it is the greatest thing since sliced bread or you think it is a total
hoax perpetrated to distract individuals en masse from real issues. Adherents on either side are passionate
that what they propound is the truth, adding to the controversy. Bret Lueder explains... 25
John Ventre
Page 45: Alien Encounters.
My reading interest now has turned exclusively to books that discuss religion and ETs. This is the last step in
my edification so I can come to a final conclusion based on nearly 20 years of research. I picked up a used
copy of Chuck Missler’s “Alien Encounters”. I learned a lot from this book. The author makes his case for why
UFOs are real. I won’t repeat what is general knowledge but he did acknowledge that Roswell and MJ‐12

IMPORTANT NOTICE!
It is fair to say, in this day and age, that the disconnect between mainstream
media “reality” and what is really going on is getting to the point where many
people in society are not being told the full story—about almost everything and
anything. In geopolitics, we see media organisations such as Al Jazeera willing to
totally fabricate events and broadcast them via BBC, CNN, ABC and other licen‐
sees. In what is needlessly called “alternative health”, we see the might of trans‐
national drug companies steering government health policies as well as affecting
personal sovereignty in the form of forced vaccinations, freedom of choice in the Joint Conference of the Society for
treatment of serious disease, and the right to be able to purchase health prod‐ Psychical Research and

16–19 July 2015
The SPR and PA will this year hold a joint conference in which scientists and
scholars from around the world will gather for three days of paper presenta-
tions, workshops, and panel discussions on the latest research into psi and
related phenomena, such as extra-sensory perception, psychokinesis, psychic
healing, altered states of consciousness, mediumship and possible survival of

at all, and again, outright ridicule (snigger factor).
The fact of the matter is that people want to know more about who we are as
spiritual beings, about the role of consciousness in determining how we experi‐
ence life, and the role our inherent beliefs have on how we live and treat other
people. I believe that the vast majority of people on this planet want to live in
peace and harmony with each other, and I also believe that there are forces at
work, including the military‐intelligence‐industrial complex, that desire and
profit from manufactured conflict. We live in an era where a growing number
of people are stepping up to blow the whistle on illegal and suppressed informa‐
tion. Information they believe is in everyone’s interests to be made public. Un‐
fortunately, despite the assurances of protection to whistleblowers from world
leaders, we actually see the opposite—the suppression and persecution of such
people.

Googled "haunted dolls" and came upon our website. She didn’t want us to
go to her home to conduct experiments as we usually would, but instead
sent the doll to us.'
The team, along with members of Haunted Dolls’ social media groups, have
been trying to put together a clearer picture of the spectre inhabiting Peggy.
It is thought she is possessed by the spirit of a woman born in 1946 in Lon‐
don’s Holland Park who died of a chest‐related condition ‐ possibly an
asthma attack – and strongly dislikes clowns. Four different psychic mediums
have ‘read’ Peggy, all invariably picking up that she is restless, frustrated and
was persecuted in life. 'We have been told she can affect people’s dreams,'
Mrs Harris said. 'She recently visited a lady in her dreams, warning her about
one of her cats. 'The next morning, the lady found her cat very ill and he
sadly died that day.' There is still a shroud of mystery surrounding Peggy’s
religion, according to Mrs Harris. She appears to have an aversion to a cruci‐
fix necklace she was previously made to wear, suggesting she is not a Chris‐
tian. 'A lot of people, including two mediums, have said they feel she has
links to the Holocaust and was possibly Jewish,' said Mrs Harris. 'We have
conducted automatic writing sessions with her in which the words "star" and
the name "David" came up, so there is possibly a link there.' It was during the
automatic writing session – a ritual whereby a psychic will communicate with
a spirit, producing any messages they have without consciously writing – that
an cryptic instruction was passed on to a member of the Haunted Dolls com‐
munity. The woman in question, a developing medium known as Lindy, had
experienced paranormal activity related to Peggy before when her Facebook
page kept posting comments about the doll over and over again. 'When I
commented my thoughts and feelings [about Peggy] all my comments were
duplicated – no one else’s, just mine,' she said. 'I tried commenting on other
threads and nothing happened, but I soon as I went back to that one the
same thing happened. My dog started barking and my face became very hot
and flushed. I felt like I wasn’t alone. 'I ended up apologising to Peggy as I felt
maybe she disproved of us chatting about her and my symptoms stopped.'
Three days later, another Peggy video inspired Lindy to have an overdue
conversation with her daughter about how they were to deal with her mental
health issues. 'My daughter has been unwell for months and things were
strained and stressful,' she said. 'Late that morning, I found myself having a
much needed heart‐to‐heart with her. 'All the things I had wanted to say for
months were just flowing from my mouth. 'I’ve found it very difficult commu‐
nicating in such a way with her due to her illness. I felt that Peggy had helped
me.' Lindy did not know that the automatic writing session with Peggy was
taking place, but when she logged onto Facebook and saw images of the
messages received during the session, one seemed to be for her.

UFO AND PARANORMAL NEWS FROM AROUND THE WORLD
Police probe Pendle Hill UFO Report: Burnley Express
Police were called in to check out reports of a UFO hovering over Pendle Hill, UK. A
police spokesman said: “We received a call from a man in Clitheroe saying he had
been watching two UFOs hovering about 3,000ft up at Pendle Hill.” The local reports
came just 24 hours after a man caught this video footage of an unidentified object
speeding through the skies of North West England at night. George Hunter spotted
unusual lights darting across the night sky near his home in Rainford. He was baffled
by the object but is convinced it was NOT a commercial aircraft. Mr Hunter said: “I

SCIENTIST SAYS “HUMANS ARE NOT FROM EARTH” thought it was a parody, while another found the writing style heavily dicta‐
torial,” he admits. The debate over the origin of life looks set to intensify.
Simulations on supercomputers at the Lawrence Livermore National Labora‐
tory in the U.S. have found that amino acids, the building blocks of life, could
have arrived on Earth via comets.
This would suggest that life might be found elsewhere in our solar system –
or even beyond. Nir Goldman suggests that the simple molecules found in
comets (such as water, ammonia, and carbon dioxide) could have supplied
the raw materials, and the impact with early Earth could have “ignited” a
prebiotic reaction. A series of experiments where projectiles were fired into a
cometary ice mixtures formed amino acids – the building blocks of life.
“These results confirm our earlier predictions of impact synthesis of prebiotic
material, where the impact itself can yield life‐building compounds,” Gold‐
man said. “These results present a significant step forward in our under‐
standing of the origin of the building blocks of life. This increases the chances
of life originating and being widespread throughout our solar system,” Gold‐
man said. Silver wants to pose the question of whether humans arrived sepa‐
rately, “Recent scientific reports suggest that life itself might not be from
Earth but might have arrived here on meteors or comets. This primitive form
of life then evolved over billions of years into what we find on Earth today.

April 4 ‐ Full Moon. The Moon will be directly opposite the Earth from the Sun and will be fully illuminated as seen from Earth. This
phase occurs at 12:05 UTC. This full moon was known by early Native American tribes as the Full Pink Moon because it marked the
appearance of the moss pink, or wild ground phlox, which is one of the first spring flowers. This moon has also been known as the
Sprouting Grass Moon and the Growing Moon.
April 4 ‐ Total Lunar Eclipse. A total lunar eclipse occurs when the Moon passes completely through the Earth's dark shadow, or
umbra. During this type of eclipse, the Moon will gradually get darker and then take on a rusty or blood red color. The eclipse will be
visible throughout most of North America, South America, eastern Asia, and Australia.
April 18 ‐ New Moon. The Moon will be directly between the Earth and the Sun and will not be visible from Earth. This phase occurs
at 18:57 UTC. This is the best time of the month to observe faint objects such as galaxies and star clusters because there is no
moonlight to interfere.
April 22, 23 ‐ Lyrids Meteor Shower. The Lyrids is an average shower, usually producing about 20 meteors per hour at its
peak. It is produced by dust particles left behind by comet C/1861 G1 Thatcher, which was discovered in 1861.
The shower runs annually from April 16‐25. It peaks this year on
the night of the night of the 22nd and morning of the 23rd.
These meteors can sometimes produce bright dust trails

Title: The Serpent and The Rainbow
Director: Wes Craven
Main Cast: Bill Pullman, Cathy Tyson, Zakes Mokae, Paul Winfield
Price: £10.25 Blu‐Ray or £7.25 DVD (Amazon)
Yet another absolute classic of the Zombie genre arrives (at long last) on DVD. This film (which is based on real events and real
people) is about ‘genuine’ zombies, i.e. the ones created through magic and witchcraft as opposed to the hordes of walking dead
produced as the result of a virus or infection. It is also has the added bonus of being directed by Wes Cavan and is absolutely typi‐
cal of the kind of superior horror film created by a man who is a recognised master of his craft. As to the story, well it takes place
in the traditional home of the Zombie, Haiti, when a scientist (played by Bill Pullman) is sent by a pharmaceutical company to re‐
search the background of a man who had died but apparently returned to life. This involves a powerful Voodoo drug that could
have lucrative properties as a powerful anaesthetic.
However the researcher falls foul of the local commander of the Tonton Macoute (the notorious and rightly dreaded Haitian secret police) played to
great effect by Zakes Mokae and is arrested. After being released the scientist arranges with a local witchdoctor to purchase a sample of the drug to
take back, but once again runs foul of the Tonton Macoute and this time is tortured.
The commander is then revealed to be a feared ‘bokor’ (an evil voodoo practitioner) who uses his black magic against the scientist and the local doc‐
tor (played by Cathy Tyson) who is helping him. The scientist is framed for a gruesome murder and flees Haiti, but returns only to be ‘zombified’. He
eventually escapes the grave where he has been placed and has his revenge on the Tonton Macoute commander in a gut‐churning spectacular finale
where he sends the commander’s soul to Hell. Great lip smacking stuff and well worth a watch.

Title: ‘Aama’: The Desert of Mirrors
Author: Frederik Peters
Publisher: Self Made Hero
ISBN: 978‐1‐906838‐93‐5
Price: UK £12.99/US $19.95/CAN $23.95
This new book from the award wining graphic novelist Frederik Peters, is a real revelation in its sheer scope and imaginative range.
It is the third book in the Aama series and tells of an experimental biotech experiment that seems to have got dangerously out of
control threatening the very nature of reality itself.
In this book the protagonist, Verloc Nim, and his companions including a robot ape Churchill, set out to discover the source of the
Aama experiment that is constantly changing the landscape of Ona(ji) the world on which they live. Beautifully drawn and end‐
lessly inventive this is European Sci‐Fi at its unsettling and slightly dangerous best.

Title: The Mammoth Mountain Poltergeist
Authors: Jenny Ashford & Tom Ross
Book Details: Paperback, 132 pages
Publisher: CreateSpace Independent Publishing Platform
ISBN‐13: 978‐1508904830
Price: $14.99 on Amazon
“Our first instinct was just sheer disbelief. We were trying to tell ourselves that it couldn’t be real. It couldn’t be happening. But it
was.” In December of 1982, when Tom Ross was thirteen years old, he took a week’s vacation to Mammoth Lakes in California
with his aunt, uncle, and cousin. Almost from the moment they arrived at their condo, they experienced a near‐constant barrage
of bizarre phenomena that escalated over their stay, and seemed to follow them after they left. Items moved around by them‐
selves, shades flew open when no one was near them, bloody tissues appeared out of nowhere, words appeared on windows in
empty rooms, a blue haze seemed to hover near the ceiling, a door chain was broken from the inside by what appeared to be a
clawed hand, and disembodied voices emerged from corners. The family was simultaneously terrified and amazed. Thirty‐two
years later, the four witnesses decided to tell their story.
Now… it’s not often I’m sent a book that fascinates me from beginning to end, but this book did it for me. The subject of poltergeist infestations is not an
easy one to write about. If the authors want academics to consider their book as factual (which they state) they had better know their subject. Simply, there
are two ways of compiling a good book on the strange and profound subject of the paranormal. The first is spending countless years and painstakingly re‐
searching the phenomena, monitoring scientific documents on the subject along with testing hypothesis. The other is simply to write about your experiences
with this phenomena, being honest, telling it how it is and not throwing in too many non‐scientific theories, folk lore and myth. This is exactly what the au‐
thors have done and more... Coming from someone who has spent 32 years in the investigation and research of paranormal occurrences you quickly become
aware as to how rare poltergeist infestations really are, forgetting all the hype and rubbish you often read and see on the internet and TV. The authors have
compiled a chronological account of experiences that are quite frankly jaw dropping and to the trained eye accurate and believable. The inclusion of some
intelligent theorising was also a pleasure to see. Having dealt with four infestations throughout my years as a researcher I am aware of certain characteris‐
tics of the phenomena which are present throughout this book. The suggested reading section included to relevant and professional parapsychological writ‐
ings… again, a pleasure to see. Whatever this phenomena represents the authors have managed to capture your attention, indulge on your fears and more
importantly secure their authenticity. An amazing little book, only 132 pages, but, boy was it packed with profoundness. Incredible… I take my hat off to
these authors for producing a significant book on the subject. A must buy for anyone interested in the subject of the paranormal, and also for those budding
parapsychologist. A big well done. Now… off to read a few more bits for a second time… (Steve Mera—PM)

shock you! Mind Wars includes fascinating stories of: Ancient attempts at mind control using spell casting, potions, and rituals.
Cults and the use of mental reprogramming. More modern mind‐control techniques, from hypnosis, drugs, and electroshock to
radiation and psychic driving. The brave new world of electronic harassment, “voice to skull” technology and gang‐stalking.
Mention the words “mind control” to most people and they will tell you to put on your tin foil hat. Long associated with conspiracy theories, despite so
much evidence to prove it has existed in some form or another from the time humans could interact, mind control is finally getting the respect it deserves,
thanks to an unprecedented era of privacy invasions on all fronts that can no longer be denied. From the technology we have all come to know, love and
depend on, such as cell phones and pads and computers, to the social networking sites we now live our entire lives on for all the world to see, to the creepy
presence of cameras on street corners and satellite/drone eyes in the skies…we think we still control our own private lives. We think we control our own
thoughts, desires, behaviours and actions. We think we control our own minds…but further examination proves we are exposed in ways we might never
have imagined. From the earliest times to the present day, humans have sought ways to control other humans, even know their thoughts and possibly even
change them. Throughout history, there have been religious crusades and political manoeuvrings specifically designed to do away with those who thought
and behaved out of step with the needs and desires of those in authority positions. We see every day now reports in the media of continued attempts to
control other human beings, even if it means slaughtering them or placing them into captivity, like zoo animals. Our own media serves as a weapon of mind
control, delivering news and information to us that is often bought and paid for by those in power, whether political, religious or corporate. We cannot trust
anything we hear anymore as fact or truth, because often it is spun to present to us a particular truth, one that usually benefits the spinner. This is mind
control at its most pervasive, in the form of government, military and even corporate invasions into our personal and private domains and it happens in
every country across the globe because wanting to control others is an undeniable facet of human behaviour and the desire for power no matter one’s race,
colour or creed. The declassification of government controlled programs such as MKUltra, Artichoke and others from our past have proven that people who
can manipulate others for their own benefit, WILL manipulate others for their own benefit. This includes torture, the abuse of children, and the destruction
of human minds for a higher purpose, according to those in charge of said programs, of creating some type of super‐soldier or superspy, or perhaps just for
the sheer scientific glee of seeing how far you can push another human being to act like a remote controlled robot. Perhaps a bit of both… There are people
who call themselves “TIs,” or targeted individuals, who believe they are being surveyed, harassed and even controlled by others, perhaps from the govern‐
ment, military or some corporate entity…and yet, in this day and age, we are all targeted individuals. We are at war now, not for oil or resources or territory
or religious or political bragging rights. We are at war for control of the last bastion of what it is that defines our humanity…our own minds. A fascinating
and scary read that will have you constantly looking over your shoulder.
