During our last visit to St Peter's on the Wall (St Cedd's Chapel), Essex, back in 2023, as we started walking along the Roman Road to the Chapel, Laura, almost immediately 'received' what can only be described as a mantra, which she felt compelled to repeat the entire walk to St Cedd's.

A close up of the Hag Stone found protecting the entrance to Ulting Church, Essex, the long forgotten Medieval Holy Shrine of the Blessed Virgin Mary, during the first lock-down in 2020.
Clearly home made, very carefully, with a man-made hole drilled through a chalk pebble.

Although Colchester Castle features strongly in the Essex Witch Trials of the 16th and 17th Centuries as the holding pre-trial Gaol for those accused of witchcraft, such as Ursula Kempe of St Osyth.

As we approach Halloween, Laura and I are stepping up our fieldwork to explore some of Essex’s most mysterious and unsettling locations.
Over the coming weeks, we’ll be sharing new investigations, stories, and history from:

Just wrapping up our article revealing the truth about the above property and, the true location of the medieval lock-up at St Osyth.
Whilst we've sat on this for over 6 years now, we thought it's finally time the truth is told and reveal all.

In our rediscovery of the location of the former 'Lion Tree' of Beeleigh Falls, believe it or not, we found a number of 'mini' Lions. Here's a photograph of one I took, along with a photo of the original.

The school summer holidays are always a quiet period for us, so decided to take a dive into these two for the umpteenth time during the lull - The Black Alchemist and, it's follow-up, 'The Second Coming', both questing classics from the GOAT Andrew Collins.

Probably our most favourite location to visit outside of anything paranormal we've experienced is The Mermaid Inn, in Rye, East Sussex, dating back almost 1,000 years to at least 1156AD.
Here, Laura explores the winding corridors, hoping we can find out way out!

Framlingham Castle, Suffolk, UK, the location where Mary I (Mary Tudor / Bloody Mary) was proclaimed Queen of England, 19th July 1553, although the town is perhaps more famous these days for being the home of a certain red haired popular musician

In the past, if you wanted to capture EVP, the 'go to' equipment to use was an analogue tape cassette recorder.
Time waits for no one and now, our tool of choice is the Zoom H2n audio recorder - Most importantly, it allows adjustment of Auto Gain - something very under appreciated.

Probably the only recording I've made that possibly captures spontaneous activity, is of some 'knocking' obtained during a calling out session 20 years ago, originating from (I believe) an iron candle stick, secured to the back of a pew, in the same church in Suffolk Laura and I visited last week.

An image that I rarely encounter these days - taken over 69 years ago - the Hopkins' Photograph, taken at the ruins of Borley Rectory, Essex, from our collection.
Is an explanation possible from a contemporary context?

Over the years, as we’ve expanded our research library, we often acquire other items with a paranormal context.
One such item are the ball-pen and, b&w watercolour sketches by E Lovell, used to illustrate the article, ‘The Merry Ghosts of Borley’, The East Anglian Magazine, Vol 14, No.5, June 1955.

Just dusted off an old piece of equipment we haven't used since 2006 - our old Marantz PMD-222 field cassette recorder, which will be used in a new EVP Project.
To our surprise, when I turned it on it still played, using only the power from it's internal batteries, last charged 18 years ago.

Popped over the border to Suffolk earlier to visit the location of Laura's remote viewing experiment, from a couple of years ago.
Laura got little from visiting the location, a couple of cold spots, a snippets of information, but nothing she doesn't experience when walking in our local high street.

A couple of summers ago we found ourselves in the little village of Scole, Norfolk.
There we spotted this fine, Grade II listed building, the 17th Century Street Farm, that achieved a certain notoriety and split the Paranormal Community back in the 1990’s.
Allegedly.

In the 18 years Laura and I have been working together, this was the first and only time she felt compelled to make an offering (indeed she’s never made a voluntary one either).

Although not central to our research currently, the location of the original 1626
Fort at Landguard Point, Felixstowe in Suffolk, in relation to the 1717 / 1744 Forts, to us at least, remains an enigma.
Here are the four main sources for the locations:

Added this to our (tiny) collection of pottery haunted locations earlier, which came up nice after cleaning.
Sadly, it's yet another building no longer with us, which is a shame, as it was relatively local.
But, what building is it? If you know, you know.
