Summary

Welcome back to Dark Realms.

In this Dark Realms season finale, we explore the Scole Experiments, one of the most controversial and debated chapters in modern paranormal research. Set in a cellar in the village of Scole, Norfolk, a small séance group claimed to produce astonishing physical phenomena including moving lights, spirit communication, mysterious photographs, apported objects, and possible materialisations, all under the watch of members of the Society for Psychical Research. But were these events genuine proof of life beyond death, or a powerful example of how belief can survive inside flawed conditions? This episode examines the uneasy collision between paranormal evidence, scientific method, scepticism, and hope, asking not only what happened at Scole, but what it would truly take, and mean, to prove the impossible.

Stay safe,

Kevin.

Not all of our minisodes need to be from listeners. In fact, places or lesser known cases can sometimes take us to Dark Realms.

Hello everyone and welcome to the finale for this season of Dark Realms. And yes, it does seem bizarre to be saying that,

0:24.5

but I guess we're only doing five Dark Realm's episodes each season now, so it was going to sneak up on me eventually.

0:32.4

Now, you will have heard me say about a week ago that this season for me personally has been my

0:39.3

favourite and that's because of a myriad of reasons one of them has been the fact that we've

0:44.9

changed how we do dark realms so that we just don't talk always about haunted places

0:51.6

for example the last dark realms we looked at,

0:54.8

we looked at the last person tried,

0:57.1

or should I say, who served time

0:59.7

under the Witchcraft Act in England.

1:03.0

And I love the fact we've changed it in a way

1:05.5

that we can talk about those sorts of things

1:07.8

as well as major hauntings.

1:10.6

Because today's episode is a topic which I find genuinely, not just fascinating, but it kind of

1:19.7

for me, it is the best short sort of experience or experiences that kind of sum up what the paranormal is, or how it's viewed

1:31.6

at least, on a minuscule scale. It's kind of a world within itself in regards to how the

1:38.8

world sees the paranormal. And I'm genuinely excited to talk about it with you. So allow me to do what I need to do before we jump right into our finale for Dark Realms.

1:50.0

So a big thank you to the most wonderful people who I know in the paranormal and that is our patrons.

1:56.5

And that's not a hyperbole.

1:58.3

Genuinely, they are the most like-minded, kindest people you're going to meet in the world of the paranormal.

2:05.7

We're giving a weak trial away of our highest level on Patreon in the show notes.

2:10.6

And not only will you get all of our episodes both ad-free and before anyone else,
