Paranormal Apports Phenomena Evidence
One of the phenomena which occurred during the Scole Experiment was the arrival of 'apports' into the cellar. An apport (from the French apporter, ‘to bring’), is a physical object which appears in a room or other enclosed space into which orthodox entry is impossible. This implies that the apport has had to pass through matter. The Scole Group reported that the arrival of an apport was announced by the sound of a loud thud, either on the floor or on the table.
The first apport was a Churchill Crown in October 1993. In November 1993, a collection of apports were received as gifts for the Group. These were: a silver thimble; two small silver lockets; a silver chain bracelet; a St Christopher medallion; an ornate miniature spoon with spiral metal handle, decorated bowl and inscription in French on the reverse and a tiny gold medallion with hieroglyphics. More than 70 apports were received in total during the Scole Experimental sessions.
One apport which initiated a great deal of discussion was the seemingly original copy of the Daily Express newspaper, dated Monday 28th May 1945. The apported Daily Express was printed on paper of the type used in the early- and mid-1940s, but it was in almost mint condition. There was no sign of the usual yellowing which would have occurred if it was an original from the end of wartime Britain.
Interestingly, just a few weeks later, the apported newspaper, although carefully stored away from light and air, had turned yellow!

This Daily Mirror, dated 1936, was one of two newspapers which were apported. It, (like the Daily Mail), was in mint condition when it arrived but within a week the paper had yellowed - despite being kept in air-tight conditions. |
You can read more about the testing of the paper on which the newspapers were printed, in The Scole Experiment book, and also in The Scole Report.
