   I found this book incredibly interesting and hard to put down. The authors have given us a well researched and comprehensive account of this mind blowing five year experiment in to spirit communication and life after life. Four mediums came together over the course of five years to meet regularly with the aim of proving that the spirit world exists. What unfolded was incredible visible and audible communication with spirit people ,witnessed by many people, including scientists from many back grounds who were invited to ‘sit in’ on the sessions and who imposed very tight laboratory conditions on the experimenters, in order to ensure that the experiments were credible. Several ‘major’ personalities came forward during the sessions, creating moving lights, pictures and words imprinted on to blank films placed in the room, apports, movement of objects and projections of photos and faces on to video tapes, to name but a few of the ways they communicated.
   If you are looking for proof of life after death, you need to read this book, If you have lost a loved one, read this book! Although the research was conducted several years ago, the evidence still stands today. Some of the original group also went on to study further and I believe e there may be another another book coming out called ‘The Norfolk Experiment’, detailing these studies. It is certainly worth checking out!

   WORTH STUDYING NOT JUST READING
   I first bought this book three years ago, when it already had over 100 ratings/reviews on Amazon. There are now 116, just 3 of them adverse, while the rest are glowing. It seemed superfluous to add my review at the time. Having read them all (and the reviews both of the more official The Scole Report, and of the late Robin Foy’s Witnessing the Impossible) I endorse most of what the 97.4% had to say in open-mouthed praise for the book, but want to add a further dimension from one who has read the book itself again, for a second time, and much more carefully – at about a third of the speed, and this time taking careful notes. In short, not just reading it, but studying it.
   Most of the reviewers have understandably commented on the physical phenomena: the seventy or more solid objects which materialised from nowhere – the dazzling performances of dancing lights – the actual materialisations NOT using ectoplasm, but some new form of energy which does not threaten the well-being, even the life, of the medium. Any one of these would have been enough to convince any but the most determined sceptic.
   However, this was only the start of it. What stood out for me on a second reading was the display of the best of scientific method, evolving at a quite dizzying speed, in which scientists from the other side worked and discussed technicalities with earth scientists . One spirit seems undoubtedly to have been Thomas Alva Edison from his signature which miraculously appeared on previously sealed film, and whose voice – as plain ‘Thomas’ – is probably that heard coming from the midst of a machine for intercommunication that was collaboratively built by the spirit team and the earth group during the sessions.
   The public are twice encouraged to suggest explanations or interpretations of the many quite sophisticated references (e.g. to Plato and Wordsworth). As with the ‘Cross-Correspondences’ of the 1930s, (which clearly also correspond themselves with some of the Scole phenomena) most of the material has never been satisfactorily explained, or in some cases properly interpreted.
   I note one of your reviewers did not recognise items in Greek . The first of these was the single word ‘men’ (μεν), which no longer exists in modern Greek, though it was one of the commonest words in ancient; the other, ουπω εφανερωθη τι εσομεθα, is again ancient not modern Greek. It has been traced to Sir Oliver Lodge’s encomium for Frederick Myers (died 1901!, a poem by whom also mysteriously appeared on virgin film without benefit of camera), which quoted these very words.

   You must read this book with an open mind, especially if you have never previously considered the possibility of life after death. If you or I were to arrange a series of experiments, using the powers of mediumship and the combined psychic powers of a small group of people and we produced remarkable physical phenomenon, who would believe us when we published our claims? The Scole group, of course, realised this, so once the experiments began to achieve
   results, professors of many disciplines were employed to scrutinise both the people in the group and the phenomena witnessed. Attempts to explain the multitude of phenomena produced at Scole, through the known laws of physics would surely be achieved by visiting professors. Professors of; Psychology; Astro Physics; Electrical Engineering etc could neither explain the phenomena, using their combined expertise, nor could they find any evidence of fraud on the part of the group.
   A member of the Magic Circle was also invited to look for any evidence of trickery. He too could find none.
   The experiments at Scole continued for many years with the group claiming cross communication with “the team” on the “other side”. The “team”, it was claimed, were the spirits of dead people, scientists, who were actually producing the very phenomena “our” scientists were scrutinising. This is powerful stuff, if it is true. Can we ever be totally convinced by the hypothesis claiming another dimension, to which we all return to when we die?
   Material science, the version of truth accepted by the majority of us must, by definition, say no. But there WERE material scientists present at Scole. Do these scientists have a different mind-set to their colleagues? I think they do. These people are prepared to step outside their paradigms and state that what they witnessed at Scole cannot be explained using their own laws of the material sciences.
   I have read extensively the writings of the late Professor Archie Roy, the mathematician and Astro Physicist and admire his achievements enormously. He was present at Scole, where he was held in conversation, via a medium, with a fellow scientist, on the “other side”. Complex astral dynamics were discussed, a topic which would only be understood by a handful of people in the country and certainly not by any of those present at the time.
   The book explains what took place a Scole in the nineties. It stresses the desire by everyone involved to eliminate any possible accusations of fraud. Did the authors succeed? I think they did. Make your own mind up.
   I will end on a mischievous quote from Archie Roy who said: ” when I die, if I find I have not survived my bodily death, I shall be extremely surprised”. I am convinced professor Roy was NOT surprised.
