JANE SOLOMON: PSYCHICAL RESEARCHER, WRITER, CURATOR OF THE SCOLE FILES
Grant Solomon and Jane Solomon are the managers of this website.

​They are also the collators and curators of The Scole Files since 1998, administrators of The Scole Experiment Afterlife Research Association (SEARA or 'The Scole Association'), psi investigators and journalists, members of the Society for Psychical Research (SPR), writers, editors of The Scole Experiment diary ebook, and authors of the internationally best-selling book... THE SCOLE EXPERIMENT: Scientific Evidence for Life After Death.

THE SCOLE EXPERIMENT: Scientific Evidence for Life After Death
Grant and Jane wrote The Scole Experiment book with the full co-operation of, and in association with, the Scole Experimental Group (see below), whose four 'core' members were the experimenters and psychical researchers who 'created', 'produced', 'witnessed', and 'recorded' all of the phenomena that occurred during The Scole Experiment 1993-1998.

THE SCOLE REPORT: Proceedings of the SPR Volume 58, Part 220
Grant and Jane also wrote The Scole Experiment book with the full co-operation of, and in association with, the three principal investigators of the Scole phenomenon (all senior members of the SPR); Professor Arthur Ellison, Montague Keen, and Professor David Fontana.
Grant and Jane are working, with other members of SEARA, to publish as many of the records of Scole-related events before, during, and after The Scole Experiment (1993-1998) as they can gather.
The SPR Investigators
Professor Arthur Ellison, plant scientist and SPR historian Montague Keen, and Professor David Fontana wrote THE SCOLE REPORT: Proceedings of the Society for Psychical Research Volume 58, Part 220, which chronicled the scientific investigation of The Scole Experiment by the three of them along with other SPR members that was undertaken between 1995 and 1998.

PROFESSOR DAVID FONTANA
For the curators book, The Scole Experiment: Scientific Evidence for Life After Death, Professor Arthur Ellison (Electrical Engineering) wrote the Foreword, Montague Keen (a specialist in the history of SPR investigations) wrote a chapter describing the scientific investigation at Scole, and Professor David Fontana (Psychology) wrote The Afterword summing up the evidence that had been collected.

All three of these main investigators concluded that something 'interesting to science' had occurred during The Scole Experiment.
The Scole Experimental Group
(The 'Scole Group')
Picture
The 'core' Scole Group was comprised of Sandra Foy and Robin Foy, the 'witnesses' and 'recorders' of the Scole phenomena; and Diana Bennett and Alan Bennett, the two mediums.

Robin Foy and Sandra Foy had spent many years witnessing physical paranormal phenomena and recording their experiences in books and elsewhere.

​Alan Bennett and Diana Bennett had spend many years as 'mediums', personally experiencing contact with what they describe as 'the many realms of existence' and also producing the paranormal (unexplained by conventional science) phenomena that others witnessed and recorded.

​
There was apparently something very special about the 'combined energies' of the four people who joined together to form the Scole Experimental Group. The 'Communicators' were able blend the 'human energies' of the group with 'earth energies' and 'spirit energies' to form a special 'Creative Energy' that powered The Scole Experiment.

The paranormal phenomena they experienced started in 1993 with an apport - a Churchill Coin - appearing out of nowhere in the cellar beneath Street Farmhouse in Scole where the experiments were taking place. This was followed by such a variety of unexplained paranormal events that members of the SPR asked to investigate. The images below give some idea of the paranormal events in that began in the Scole cellar and would go on to be demonstrated to stunned witnesses in many countries around the world.
Beyond Scole - Robin & Sandra Foy

After The Scole Experiment finished in 1998, Robin Foy and Sandra Foy retired to Spain in 2006, where they continued their interest in, and psychical research into, physical phenomena.
The Foys created and contributed to the following websites:
​
physcialphenomena4U
robinsphysicalphenomena
​spiritarchive.org
Robin also compiled a comprehensive diary record of every session of The Scole Experiment, which included the contemporary notes written by all the members of the Scole Group while the experiments were being undertaken.

​Robin asked Grant and Jane to edit and publish this as an ebook shortly before his passing. Accordingly, the ebook will be published by Campion Books under the title: Witnessing the Impossible: The Diary of The Scole Experiment.

THE DIARY
Beyond Scole - Alan & Diana Bennett
After The Scole Experiment finished in 1998, Alan Bennett and Diana Bennett also continued their interest in, and psychical research into, physical phenomena.

In 2005, the Bennetts were contacted again by the Communicators, the 'Team of Many Minds' who had made contact during The Scole Experiment.

The Communicators were seeking to answer some of the criticisms of The Scole Experiment that had worried Alan and Diana after the experiment had finished. The two most important concerns were 'darkness conditions' and 'repeatability of experiments'.

During a meditation session, they were 'taken on a shared journey'.

The Communicators had devised a simple and inexpensive new Crystal Photographic Experiment (CPE) that lots of people around the world could copy.

​This new experiment could be conducted in daylight and also replicated and repeated worldwide; thus overcoming the central criticisms of The Scole Experiment as well as providing the 'many sticks' to make the unbreakable 'bundle' of evidence which will require the scientific establishment to accept the phenomenon as 'normal' rather than dismissing it as 'paranormal' and barely worthy of sensible study.


In February 2006, Alan and Diana invited us to their home in Norfolk, England, where they showed us their new experimental work and how it had come about, as well as some very interesting results from the Crystal Photographic Experiments. The Bennetts invited us to participate in order to record and report on events as we did for The Scole Experiment.

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.

This and subsequent meetings of the Norfolk Group resulted in an 
Updated 2006 Edition of The Scole Experiment: Scientific Evidence for Life After Death which included new The Norfolk Experiment content.

The Scole Association
​The Scole Experiment Afterlife Research Association (SEARA)

The Scole Association is a voluntary organisation, administered by the curators of The Scole Files, whose volunteer members are helping to spread information about The Scole Experiment worldwide, including that contained in The Scole Files.

Membership of this association of people interested in The Scole Experiment evidence for survival of the human personality into an Afterlife is free and open to all.

An associate membership form will shortly be provided on this website for people to register (only a name and email address will be required for members wishing to receive notifications of new releases of The Scole Files and other Scole-related news).
​
Scole Association members will be encouraged to learn as much as they can about The Scole Experiment from The Scole Files and other sources; and then share their knowledge and the links to the files and information on this website and elsewhere with as many other people as possible.
The Scole Files
​The Scole Experiment Afterlife Research Files (The Scole Files)
2023 will be the 30th Anniversary of the first significant phenomenon witnessed during The Scole Experiment (1993-1998).

​In October 1993, a Churchill Crown coin arrived in the Scole cellar with a thud. Sir Winston Churchill had been a long-term 'Communicator' of Scole Group members, Robin Foy and Sandra Foy.

In a short extract featuring the 'independent direct voice' (from mid-air) of Churchill – from The Scole Experiment session audio recording of 24 August 1994 – he says he is speaking from his continued existence in The Afterlife. In his communication, Churchill suggests he would like to posthumously communicate a book called The Adventures of Winston in Wonderland.

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 – instructed 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, and elsewhere, only approximately 10% of the files had been published.

​In accordance with the wishes of the members of the Scole Group, the remaining 90% of the Scole data and evidence is being made universally and freely available for educational purposes only, under the heading, 'THE SCOLE FILES', from November 2022.
