Age and Anomalous Experience
Please note all this is a work in progress: little more than a series of memo’s in which Becky and I are developing ideas we want to explore… OK last night I posted on a topic that interested me, and … Continue reading
Charting the Unknown: Ghosts, Memory & the Progress of Time
OK something mildly interesting tonight – very much a preliminary set of thoughts on something Becky and I are still working on. Before she started her PhD we undertook some simple research on reports of “paranormal experiences” together, using a novel new methodology which is actually quite close to that used by the SPR in the 1894 Census of Hallucinations.

Poltergeists
Yesterday (Halloween) Becky and I attended the SPR Study Day on Poltergeists.

I have a very real interest in following up any case – those who feel they may be experiencing something of this nature are welcome to drop me an email at christianjennsenromer@hotmail.com and if nothing else I can put you in touch with the SPR Spontaneous Cases committee, or perhaps offer some advice and support.
