"Beings" Series Part 3... Residual Hauntings (People).

As I'm writing this, it's Good Friday (25/3/16). My family and I, including my wife, (Co-Founder, Sal Pollard) and our two children, set of for a family day out. On the first spring bank holiday of the year we had decided to visit another location, but unfortunately it seemed like they we're closed. So I remembered suddenly another historical tourist attraction, not to far down the road from our home. It was open, so we set off for it. You see, when we're not rattling around old buildings in the middle of the night, searching for evidence of the paranormal, we like to spend our bank holidays rattling around them during the day too! The location we had settled on was our local Templar site, Cressing Temple.

Once we had decided to go, we couldn't help but do a search on the sites history, and to see if it was haunted, and indeed it was. Apparently there are 5 ghosts at the temple, after all this place is an ancient medieval, moated farmstead, and had spent majority of its life occupied by the religious order of the Knights Templar! In the days of its prime, it was the most important landholding of the Knights Templar in Essex. All of the said "hauntings" are most definitely residual hauntings, as they appear to be doing, or acting like they are stuck in a time loop. We are strong Believers in the "Stone Tape Theory". So what a coincidence! I was planning on posting about residual hauntings last week, and here I was presented with the perfect material and setting for this post.

The first of our 5 residual ghosts at the Temple was reported by a member of staff back in 1986, who reported a ghostly apparition of a bloodied roman soldier in one of the fields next to the ancient barns. He was reported as looking very disorientated, with a nasty wound to his head, and seemed to be searching for an escape route. Some years later, there was an archaeological dig near the gardens of the ancient barns, and they unearthed the decapitated skeleton of a man in his mid-30's. It's believed that the skeleton dates back to the Roman britain times,could this be the soldier in the field?

The next "Residual" of the temple, is that of the man-of-arms spirit, known as the Phantom Knight. Local Legends say that he is buried somewhere within the grounds of the Cressing Temple Estate. He has been reported a few times, roaming the local area upon the back of his horse, and has even been reported as far as the local carp fishing lake. In 2009, an interesting photograph, taken in the middle of the night on a lake near the temple by a local carp angler, appeared on the internet. It appears to contain a ghostly mist near the edge of the water, and looks like the Knight on horseback, the horse is quite visible, but you can only see the armored forearm and hand, and part of the leg of the Knight on top of the horse, and maybe his sword on the back upper leg of the horse? (I think this photograph is very impressive!)

Between the 1970's and 1980's, there were a few reported sightings of a 16th century Cavalier. The first witness was scared half to death (although reports of this sighting are sketchy) saw the apparition of the Cavalier in the farmhouse at Cressing Temple. In the 70's,he was seen again at the top of the stairs by the frightened young son of the Cressing Temple farm manager. The petrified boy described what he had seen as wearing big boots, blue trousers, and a big black hat. In the 80's, another farm manager and his family reported feeling sudden cold spots in the house, and mainly in the bathroom. their young, 3 years old son didn't like being near the stairs or bathroom, because he could see a strange man with long dark hair on the stairs. the Cavalier was also reported to of been seen in bedrooms and the library. During the civil war in 1677, Sir Thomas Davies bought the Cressing Temple estate. Later that year his eldest son Thomas Davies (Junior) committed suicide, by shooting himself. maybe the Cavalier apparition was in fact the spirit of young Thomas Davies, condemned to roam the grounds for eternity...

The ancient barns at Cressing Temple are said to be haunted by the ghost of a young olster boy, who was tragically killed when he was kicked in the head by horse, resulting in instant death. The final Resident ghost of the Temple is that of a man whose wife sadly died in a terrible fire on the Cressing Temple Estate, which engulfed the main house over one hundred years ago. His Spirit is said to appear in the oak room of the old farm house by banging on the oak panelling.

When my family and I walked around these stunning buildings, and awe inspiring Templar Temple. I could really feel the history of the place, and we experienced quite a few cold spots as we went from room to room. In the oldest of the two barns, believed to be the oldest complete Templar Barn in the world, we stumbled upon a display of the Bricks used throughout history at the Temple. One of which was dated back to the 1100's, when the temple was first built. I felt compelled to place my hand on it, and the feeling of energy, history and Craftsmanship I felt instantly was quite overwhelming.

Yes, I know, it was only a brick. But for those who strongly believe in "The Stone Tape Theory", I had just felt the energy of the person who had hand crafted that brick, and felt all the history that had been "recorded" within the material itself. The "White" brick, in the centre of the picture, was a rare type of brick that was only commissioned for a few years in the 1200's, and was only used for exquisite brick work, and was expensive. This brick was remarkably colder than the rest, yet it was stored in the same conditions and place as the rest. Perhaps this brick was made of a material that could absorb more energy? I'm guessing that they used chalk, which the ancient monks used for tunneling escape tunnels. 

We believe that Emotions, feelings and events can get recorded into these natural materials. If you can get a small disc of plastic, coat it in a reflective, magnetic layer, then record the entire collection of books you own, or fill it with all the songs in your song library, then why is it not plausible you can store or record emotional events in a natural material that is capable of absorbing energy. They've already proved that water has memory, and can withhold information. So why not Stone, Bricks, Timber and earth etc.

On the next Blog, we will be staying on the Theme of "Residual", but Vehicles and Animals...

Happy Easter everyone, Take Care, and Look after Each Other, 

What has the world of the Paranormal got to do with Science?... Everything!

Has anyone heard of the "observation problem" in the quantum mechanics Field of scientific study?

In 1927, at the 5th Solvay Conference on physics, in Brussels, Belgium. A new proposal of "Mind over Matter" was admitted, to try and resolve inexplicable behaviours, within the newly formed Study of Quantum mechanics. With the Greatest minds of physics at the time attending, such as Einstein, Pauli, Dirac, Bohr, Heisenberg, Curie, De Broglie, Schrodinger, to mention but a few.

The subject of consciousness, and the atomic world was at hand.

Heisenberg and Bohr approached Einstein with a new theory, that the minds of the researchers, where affecting the results of the experiments. The mathematics and predictability were not repeatable, and reliable enough to explain what was going on. Einstein did not accept this theory at first, because it didn't fit in with any of the mathematical models. Years later.. he admitted it was happening.

"anyone who becomes seriously involved in the pursuit of science becomes convinced

that there is a spirit manifest in the laws of the universe, a spirit vastly superior to that of man"

Albert Einstein

The spirit that Einstein was talking about, is not a mechanical force... Gravity, Electromagnetism, (This though we do disagree on, as we believe that consciousness and electromagnetism go hand in hand), or the strong and weak forces. the Spirit Einstein was talking about, was Consciousness.

So for Einstein to make this Great transformation in his opinion, can only mean something must of happened to convince him, that it was really happening. That the Universe is alive, and our minds are a big part of it. Did great powers hide the truth? about what was discovered at the conference?

"All matter originates and exists only by virtue of a force. We must assume behind this force is the existence of a conscious and intelligent mind. This Mind is the matrix of all matter."

Max Planck - The Father of Quantum Physics

1858 - 1947

Our current models of science cannot handle consciousness within its equations, some will try and tell you that Quantum Mechanics explains it, but this is not true. and the reason why there is no unified theory of everything yet, is because they are missing out a vital ingredient of the universe...

our minds... Consciousness.

In our opinion, there is only one element in the universe, the consciousness field, and everything is created within this field. Me you, your car, Our Reality, the laptop or smartphone that your reading this on.. everything. 

A lot of Paranormal Groups are looking for Evidence of Ghosts, Spirits, Demons Etc.

But we Believe that ALL beings are made of the same substance... Consciousness. And that our personal pursuit is to find evidence of Elemental Consciousness, mind, that can exist without form, or "physical" properties. basically we are looking for the same evidence, but our drive is slightly different to the "Generic" Paranormal Group.

Be Careful, and Take Care of Each Other.

Is Time Constant? or is it just tied to our own Existence?

When analysing audio, trying to pick out EVP's, sometimes we discover sounds, or voices that seem to be on a different timescale to normal spoken word. Here's an example of this.

The first sentence is Realtime, and the second repeated sentence is 50% slower.

This for us was a discovery that got us thinking about time itself. Well to be honest, we've always had the theory that time, is relevant to size. for example, an elephants heart beats on average, approx 30 beats per minute. (and actually speeds up by 8 - 10 beats per minute when lying down!) and lives approx 60 - 70 years (Asian Elephants live on average for 48 years), yet the humble field mouse's heart beats 670 times a minute and lives for around 2 years. so the two animals seem to be existing on different time scales, and probably to them, there life feels just as long as each other.

We Believe, time is just a tool to enable us to navigate our Interface around the 3D Reality that we are existing in at this time. Our interface, (Our body) is the bridge between our consciousness, and the "Physical" Reality, if we didn't have the tool of time, we wouldn't be able to do anything, go anywhere, or even exist in this reality. So we think Time is a tool that is personal to our very own interface. Which is why sometimes you can say to a friend, or colleague "wow, today went really slow" and their perception of the very same event in time could be "well i think today went really fast!". So two people perceiving the same place and event in time can have two different perceptions of "Timescale". So this leads us to think that Time is a very personal experience, and not the universal constant that we are lead to believe.

So the reason why we think that some EVP's sound as if they are fast, or slow, is because when a consciousness being hasnt got an Interface (body), then its perception of time can get messed up, or scrambled as it doesn't have the physical side of itself any longer that keeps it's own constant. Plus we also believe that Spirits/consciousness exist in different states of awareness, or in a sleep like state, according to how much energy it has, or can absorb. which could also effect it's perception of Time.

The more Energy it has, the more stable its Time Constant is, thus enabling them to communicate through spirit boxes or be recorded as EVP's in a timescale that's close to ours so we can understand what is being said. but occasionally, they could be less "Awake" or have less energy, and this is why we sometimes capture those Fast, or slow EVP's.

Be Careful, and look after each other.

the 96%...

Its quite widely known, and is talked about a lot these days, that there is a presence in the universe that all science has no idea about. the universe is huge (Obviously!) and there is a lot of stuff that we can see. its quite unimaginable really how vast, and how much matter there is out in the universe.

Its huge!, and if you take all of the moons, planets, stars, galaxies, asteroids, comets etc. and added them all up, you'd only have 4% of the entire universe! So where is the other 96% of the universe? and what is it doing?

logarithmic visualization of the observable universe by 

Pablo Carlos Budassi

The spectacular illustration features our Solar System at the very center, followed by "inner and outer planets, Kuiper belt, Oort cloud, Alpha Centauri, Perseus Arm, Milky Way galaxy, Andromeda galaxy, nearby galaxies, Cosmic Web, Cosmic microwave radiation and Big Bang's invisible plasma on the edge."

So there's a lot of talk in the media of "Dark matter" and "Dark Energy",  basically these are scientific terms for 

​"we haven't got a clue!"

We believe that the other 96% are other "wavelengths" or other "Radio stations" for reality. if you take the electromagnetic field for instance, there is only a small fraction of "visible light", what if the universe was like this, and there were many different realities existing on other frequencies within the whole universe...

One of our biggest theories is that the 4% part of the universe we exist in, is one of many different realities that exist within the "whole" that is the universe. a bit like different radio stations existing within the radio waves that you can tune into on a radio. If our Frequency only takes up just 4%, then that means there is another 25 of these "reality Stations" existing together in one universe. Now I could go on about how shadow people could belong to another "Reality station", or any entity/conciousness for that matter. but i will leave that for another day.
