The Scole Afterlife Study
The Scole afterlife study was a series of experiments conducted by a group of mediums and researchers in the 1990s, aiming to establish evidence for the existence of life after death. The experiments involved various forms of physical phenomena, such as lights, sounds, images, and objects appearing or moving in a sealed basement room. The study claimed to have received messages and images from deceased personalities, as well as information about the nature of the afterlife and the origin of the universe.
The study was led by Robin and Sandra Foy, who invited two mediums, Alan and Diana Bennett, to join them in their home in Scole, Norfolk, England. They formed the Scole Experimental Group, which later expanded to include other members and guests. The group conducted over 500 sessions in five years and invited several independent observers and investigators to witness and document the phenomena. Some of the observers included Montague Keen, Arthur Ellison, and David Fontana, who were members of the Society for Psychical Research (SPR), and Professor Archie Roy, a physicist, and astronomer from Glasgow University.
