The Communicators were seeking to answer some of the criticisms of The ScoleExperimentthat had worried Alan and Diana after theexperiment had finished. The two most important concerns were 'darkness conditions' and 'repeatability of experiments'. Keen, M., Ellison, A., Fontana, D. "The Scole Report." Proceedings of the Society for Psychical Research. 1 Nov. 1999, Volume 58, Part 220. Amongst the unusual occurrences they claimed to experience were dancing lights, the sound of ringing bells and objects appearing and hovering in mid-air. The claims attracted criticism from those who suggested that the group's insistence on complete darkness invited suspicion. This show is made possible by financial support from listeners like you.

We readily agreed and it was decided that the Norfolk Experimental Group, (Diana Bennett, Alan Bennett, Jane Solomon, Grant Solomon), would be formed and the new work would be known as THE NORFOLK EXPERIMENT .

The aim of the Scole Experimental Group was to produce not just one tangible object but such a huge number and variety that scientists would have to sit up and take notice. will be the 30th Anniversary of the first significant phenomenon witnessed during The Scole Experiment (1993-1998). Soon after The Scole Experiment began, an array of spirit and other c ommunicators made themselves known to the Scole Group during the experimental sessions. They called themselves, the 'Team of Many Minds'.The couple shared the same aims of proving that that humans survive the death event and go on to an Afterlife. In 2022, in preparation for the 30th Anniversary of the first significant Scole phenomenon (1993) in 2023, Scole Group members - Robin Foy, Alan Bennett, and Diana Bennett - asked Grant Solomon and Jane Solomon (officially appointed collators and curators of The Scole Experiment material since 1998) to digitally publish - with universal free access for study and discussion ('educational purposes only') - all The Scole Files, including Notes and Transcripts regarding the audio recordings of the 'Communication' during the 500 x 2-hour sessions of The Scole Experiment. Previously, in the book, the report, the diary, the documentary, the commentary, and elsewhere, only approximately 10% of the files had been published. The remaining 90% of the data and evidence will begin to be made universally and freely available 'for educational purposes only' at the start of 2023.

The Communicators had devised a simple and inexpensive new Crystal Photographic Experiment(CPE) that lots of people around the world could copy. Along with the Bennetts, the Foys undertook any necessary preparation for the experimental sessions e.g. acquiring materials requested by the Spirit Team (such as the glass dome). The Seybert Commission. Preliminary Report of the Seybert Commission for Investigating Modern Spiritualism. Philadelphia: J.B. Lippincott Company, 1887. Some of the tangible objects took the form of messages transmitted onto photographic film, audiotape, and videotape. We are a registered charity run by a council of elected members , with committees overseeing various activities. Past presidents have included philosophers William James and Henri Bergson, scientists William Crookes, John Strutt (Lord Rayleigh) and Charles Richet, and British conservative prime minister Arthur Balfour. We are always looking to increase our funding for research and education, through donations and bequests.Our members represent a variety of academic and professional interests all over the world. We welcome active researchers and volunteer helpers, also those who wish to learn about the subject. The Group was told that their Communicator Team alone consisted of ‘thousands of minds’, all working in unison towards achieving this tangible proof of the existence of other dimensions.

In addition to the film documentary, three books - with images, descriptions, and analysis - provide a comprehensive overview of this 'important to science' 5-year experiment.

They lived in the village of Scole in Norfolk, in Street Farmhouse, which was the venue for the experiments. Objects materialised, lights danced, and solid beings appeared before previously sceptical observers. The Scole Experiment, possibly constituting the greatest variety and intensity of unbelievable physicalphenomena in the history of parapsychology and psychical research. ' In October 1993, a Churchill Crown coin arrived in the Scole cellar with a thud. Sir Winston Churchillhad been a long-term 'Communicator' of Scole Group members, Robin Foy and Sandra Foy.

Robin Foy and Sandra Foy had spent many years witnessing physical paranormal phenomena and recording their experiences in books and elsewhere. This venue was chosen as the old sixteenth century farm house had a cellar which was perfect as a venue for the experiments.The quartet, initially working with three friends, set out to see if the Victorian practice of holding séances had any basis in fact and whether it had been discredited unfairly as hocus-pocus. A third red flag is the fact that there's been no followup. If amazing phenomena truly did happen at the Scole Experiment, it would have changed the world. Mainstream psychologists and other academics would have gotten in on it, it would have made worldwide headlines, and it would be repeated in labs everywhere and become mainstream science. They did have the opportunity: experimental psychologist and author Richard Wiseman provided secure envelopes for the film rolls to the experimenters, within which film always failed to be exposed. Rather than coming away impressed and spreading the word, Wiseman summed it up to me in six words: "It was a load of rubbish!" In fact, it was not long before a variety of senior scientists, including some very experienced researchers into the unknown, became interested in the phenomena being produced. The Scole Group was happy to allow scientific scrutiny of their work, a fact which impressed the scrutineers. Previously, in the book, the report, the diary, the documentary, and elsewhere, only approximately 10% of the files had been published. These other dimensions are hidden from normal perception by the limitations of our senses and our current scientific instruments.
