Sometimes, you visit a location and you 'feel' the fingerprints of someone that shouldn't be there. Well, after a year of two of research, we've finally found the trail of breadcrumbs left behind. paranormalreason.com/chilton-the-...

Today marks 11 years since Laura and I revisited Orford Castle in Suffolk. Although we'd both been there previously, neither of us expected that day's visit to lead to a series of discoveries, follow-up investigations, and even an unexpected response from English Heritage.

youtu.be/KFwxZxE1pqk?... Delighted to share my recent interview with Jimmy from Spooky Appalachia What began as a single reported Mothman sighting to Jimmy a couple of years ago, in a small Essex Village, has evolved into one of the most fascinating research projects we've ever undertaken.

Following up on a lead, back in 2024, kindly passed to us by @spookyappalachia , relating to a 30 year old Mothman sighting in the UK, we were shocked to find it related to a neighbouring village, in Essex. Our first visit culminated in an unexpected event....

An historical source reported an evil spirit had been exorcised at Chilton, near Sudbury and, imprisoned within a bottle before being thrown into a pond behind the village church. Over 160 years later, there was just one problem. Nobody seemed to know where the pond had actually been. (1/2)

Moments before this photo was taken inside the upper level of Landguard Fort, Laura entered the adjoining bathroom of Fire Officers’ Quarters F7 & was immediately told, very loudly, to “Fuck off” by what she described as a male voice. The reaction you can see in the image was captured seconds later

I saw this beginning to trend earlier today, so thought I'd give it a try - asking AI to write an unhinged unbio, just for fun. Laura believes she doesn't have enough online presence for one. I did one for her anyway and, a dual one, for us both. I was expecting far worse, I was disappointed.

The History Alchemist (not on this platform sadly) recently posted about a visit he'd made to St Barnabas Church in Alphamstone, Essex, to study a set of Sarsen stones to be found at the location, both surrounding and part of the church structure itself.

Somewhere in rural Essex, a quiet riverside village has become the centre of deeply unsettling reports dating back over 30 years. What began as a simple referral would ultimately draw us into one of the strangest investigations we have undertaken. More soon.

Paranormal Reason @paranormalreason.bsky.social · 11/05/2026

A couple of years ago we found ourselves on a journey, which (so far) culminated at this Church. Here Laura surveys the building and, although we found the church to be locked on this occasion, she'd already 'found' where our target in the church lay. We shall be back.

We were surprised by the response to our Stranger Things M Cave post last week. Whilst on most platforms it was received as expected, but with Threads, it went down a storm, receiving 186,357 views, with over 286k hits on our profile. Not bad for a platform we consider 'dead'.

I found it interesting, in Volume 2, Season 5 of Stranger Things, a certain, now infamous cave in Nevada was referenced, in plain sight. Even our daughter called it, without prompting. I wonder if this is why Vecna / Henry Creel is too scared to enter.......

Our research when out in the field often involves moments of quiet attunement to a landscape. Here, Laura takes a reflective pause during one of our visits, perhaps a reminder that intuition and, careful observation sit alongside technical methods in our research.

During our last visit to St Peter's on the Wall (St Cedd's Chapel), Essex, back in 2023, as we started walking along the Roman Road to the Chapel, Laura, almost immediately 'received' what can only be described as a mantra, which she felt compelled to repeat the entire walk to St Cedd's.

The inner circle of Harwich Redoubt Fort, Harwich, Essex, United Kingdom.

Sitting on the other side of the river to Landguard Fort, guarding the Stour / Orwell Estuary in 1808 to help defend the neighbouring counties of Essex and Suffolk from Napoleonic Invasion, it's much smaller than it's Suffolk counterpart but no less important.

During our visit, Laura only sensed 'activity' in one of the rooms you can see here, interestingly, the one I suddenly got a severe headache which only cleared when we left the room.

Was this connected?

Laura felt this was one of those locations that would have an entirely different atmosphere at night. We both vowed to return in the future, at some point, during the evening.
