​Paranormal Photographic Evidence 3

This S-File shows some of the images obtained during photographic experiments.

Diotima

This image was received on 35mm Polaroid film without the use of a camera. This experiment was witnessed by members of the Society for Psychical Research.
​The session of 16 March 1996 was an experiment which produced one of the most interesting, challenging - and ultimately evidential - photographic films of all. The information on the film, although cryptic, was soon considered to be very relevant to Frederick Myers. 

​After processing, there were a number of images along the length of the film. On the extreme left was a single Greek word: Diotima.
Picture

This was followed by a sentence in French: ‘Ce n'est que le premier pas qui coute’. (It is but the first step that counts).

Then came the following stanza, written in script across four long lines:
Picture
That hour may come when Earth no more can keep,
Tireless her yearlong voyage thro' the deep;
Nay, when all planets, sucked and swept in one,
Feed their rekindled solitary sun;
 
Nay, when all suns that shine, together hurled,
Crash in one infinite and lifeless world;
Yet hold thou still, what worlds soe'er may roll,
Naught bear they with them master of the soul;
 
In all the eternal whirl, the cosmic stir,
All the eternal is akin to her;
She shall endure, and quicken, and live at last,
When all save souls has perished in the past.

The next message consisted of Greek letters.​..

The SPR investigators reported their interpretation of this as follows...

The Possible Significance of the 'Diotima' Film Clues
On the Diotima film were found references to an encomium to Myers, published by the Society for Psychical Research, shortly after his death in January 1901. Diotima itself proved to be the crucial word since it was the first word on the film and was also a 'test word' given in one of the early cross-correspondences, with which the spirit of Myers gave every appearance of being closely involved. Having linked the film to Myers, the Spirit Team then seemed to be linking both Myers and the film to the cross-correspondences.
 
This was fascinating for a number of reasons, not least of which was that the cross-correspondences were an earlier attempt to prove survival by defeating the anti-survival hypotheses (namely, fraud, alter ego and super-PSI) precisely what the Scole Experiment was trying to achieve.

​The reason for clues linking Myers, the Diotima film and the cross-correspondences seemed to be using the circumstances of one man's life on Earth to construct a series of clues to a puzzle, the solving of which would show that a sentient, surviving personality was involved in the transmission of the messages on the film. It was certainly intriguing to the S.P.R. that Myers might be trying to contact them through the new opportunity afforded by the Scole Experiment.
 
There are other messages transmitted via films (Wordsworth) which, once again, appeared to point to Myers as a common link. 

​At the end of the film there were two names. The first was difficult to decipher, especially since it was in mirror-image. It was later found to be 'Cora L.V.Tappan' (who is deceased and was a medium). He name was written backwards under the Greek letters. The second name was written more clearly and appeared to be 'Will Rallings' but no significance has yet been found for this name.

FIND OUT MORE ABOUT THE SCOLE EXPERIMENT VIA THE BOOK, REPORT, DIARY AND DOCUMENTARY

For many people, this website or the 86-minute film documentary, The Afterlife Investigations, are the first time they encounter The Scole Experiment.

​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.

The Scole Experiment: Scientific Evidence for Life After Death introduces all 5 years and the key experiments and concepts for the general reader.

ABOUT US

The Scole Experiment Website Managers and Curators of The Scole Files
The managers of this website are Grant Solomon and Jane Solomon. Grant and Jane 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, SPR members, 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.

​Ownership and Copyright Notice
All the original material produced and collected during The Scole Experiment - including photographs, objects, audio/video recordings, as well as the records and diaries kept of the events - is owned by the Scole Experimental Group. In 1998, the Scole Experimental Group granted Grant Solomon and Jane Solomon - in their capacities as authors of The Scole Experiment, appointed collators and curators of all The Scole Experiment material, and administrators of SEARA - all rights to use all The Scole Experiment material for their books, articles, films, and other projects. Separately, The Scole Experiment book and other original books, articles, and documents created by Grant Solomon and Jane Solomon, including material provided for the development of moving picture productions, is owned by Grant Solomon and Jane as the originators and creators of those works.

30th Anniversary in 2023 and publication with universal free access 'for educational purposes only' to all The Scole Files
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.
