Just what I thought. It's the April edition and I last heard on 28th June that there was still some delay.  :eyebrow:

I'll bring the original down for you on Saturday Lee. I've promised it to a friend in a couple of weeks  so I would appreciate having it back when you bring the stuff I've got to post.

Would you like to read the April edition of Paranormal Review? It's a regular magazine that  delves into  the archives of the Society and includes things like lecture and study day reports.

both would be great, thanks Sheila.  I am back at work next week so I can scan it or photocopy it during the week.  I will also pass a copy to Sarah, i think she wanted a copy too.  Is the original very big/thick?

I could do that but I wasn't wanting to fall foul of copyright laws.  :whistling:  :snigger:

Colvin's work runs to about 30 pages. There's also a review by Alan Murdie on the book we talked about at Nenthead - The South Shields Poltergeist I believe I said you could borrow that, so if you'd like it you're welcome.

Oh yes please, if you could run off a copy for me too that'd be great, Lee.   :thumbyes:  (And I recommend the South Shields Poltergeist book too Lee.  Well worth a read.  Thats a point, talking of that, we never did get our questions sent off to the authors did we?  Maybe wait til Lee has had a read and compile his questions too (as I'm sure he'll think of quite a few too  :lol:)

The Scoles Experiment is still a "work in progress" on my reading shelf  :embarrassed:  :frantic:  Have you got anyone queueing for it Sheila?

Turns out my friend has to go away for work Sarah, so I can pass it onto you after Lee.

Alan Murdie seems to think that the book didn't do the investigation any favours. Looks like there was a lot more evidence. Murdie claims that he was given access to over 450 original photographs. It does beg the question, why not give a full and proper account? Call me a cynic but spinning it out springs to mind. Perhaps that's why they've 'been subject to a great deal of undeserved criticism' as Murdie claims.

Nobody queueing for for that book...They've all given up the ghost.  :snigger: :lol:
