This is genuinely helpful, cheers. One thing I'd add: bring a camera with night vision or infrared capability. A basic one off Amazon (about £50-70) will pick up stuff your eyes can't see.

The Enfield Poltergeist case. Read about it in a book my mate lent me when I was about 15. The level of documentation - photographs, investigator reports, testimony from multiple witnesses...

Archive & Anomaly is so underrated it hurts. They did a 6-part series on Scottish hauntings using only archive materials and it changed how I think about paranormal research.

I've noticed that threads about classic cases (Spring-heeled Jack, Borley Rectory, Rendlesham, etc.) often get scattered across multiple forums depending on category.
Picked this up after reading your review and found it genuinely good. The geological argument is fascinating - she makes a solid case that people weren't making up the experiences, they were just...
Skinwalker Ranch for me, but honestly that was because I watched the podcast while recovering from surgery and was probably high on painkillers.

Right, I've been doing this for a few years now and I've learned from plenty of cock-ups. Thought I'd write up a proper guide for anyone wanting to do a serious overnight investigation at a...
What's interesting is the *absence* of files. If UFOs were really happening as much as sightings suggest, we should have way more documentation.

Strong point about narrative vs actual closure. The public doesn't care about rigorous investigation, they just want a story that makes sense.

I live in a Victorian terrace in Leeds, built 1892. Leeds has some genuinely active paranormal locations. Victorian properties especially tend to have residual energy.

Mine was watching a documentary about Borley Rectory in 1997. I was maybe 12, couldn't sleep for a week afterwards, and suddenly I was obsessed with researching every paranormal topic I could get...

'Ghostlight Chronicles' is worth checking out if you want something more narrative-driven. It's less about verification and more about storytelling, but the episodes on Borley Rectory and Pendle...
The thing about Borley is that most of the 'evidence' was actually quite dodgy. Harry Price (the famous ghost hunter) has been accused of faking phenomena.

The Bodmin Moor area has decent paranormal history - sightings dating back centuries. Could be connected to something deeper geologically or spiritually.
The AENurse in Sightings & Reports 4 years ago thumb_up 4
Right, so I've been living near Bodmin for about five years and I'm not usually the type to report weird stuff, but this is the third time in four weeks I've seen genuinely odd lights over the...
The issue is that cryptozoology sits between folklore and science and doesn't quite fit either category. Folklore accepts mystery as permanent. Science demands closure.

The National Archives search is actually pretty good these days. You can filter by date, department, keywords. If you're serious about research, set up alerts for new UFO releases.

Disagree. Once there's a viable explanation (escaped big cats, misidentified wildlife, etc.), further investigation becomes a waste of resources.
Spectral Archives is brilliant. I've learned more from that podcast than from years of forum reading. The host actually reads source material on air which sounds boring but somehow isn't.

Just finished The Haunting of Madley: New Perspectives on Pendle Hill by Dr Catherine Whitmore (£16.99, Paranormal History Press).
