Robin Foy, founder of the Scole Experimental Group, describes five years of seances in the cellar of his Norfolk home in which two trance mediums allegedly produced spirit lights, materializations, voices, and images on unopened film. He claims the spirit team was joined by extraterrestrials, including a small blue being and a miniature UFO, and even by Thomas Edison, who supposedly supplied a blueprint for a transdimensional communication device. Foy says the experiment ended in 1998 after time travelers from roughly a century in the future accidentally interfered through the spirit portal.
