Paranormal Photographic Experiment Protocols at Scole
|
‘All the evidence we come across in real life is faulty to a greater or lesser extent; and the only question of importance is how good the evidence is; not whether it is perfect or imperfect. Evidence is a matter of degree’. (G. N. M. Tyrrell)
In view of the anticipated criticisms relating to phenomena produced in total darkness, Professor Fontana suggested a four-step protocol so that the investigators could control the point at which the photographic images were actually produced.
According to The Scole Report: 'Such a protocol would remove any possibility of physical intervention. Neither the Spirit Team nor the Scole Group offered any objection to this protocol.'
- Firstly, the investigators would provide the film to be used.
- Secondly, the investigators would ensure that the film was in a secure container, provided by them.
- Thirdly, the investigators would have control of the container throughout the session.
- Finally, development of the film should be under the control of the investigators.
