Journal of Scientific Exploration (2001) – 'The Scole Investigation: A Study in Critical Analysis of Paranormal Physical Phenomena' by Montague Keen
Abstract--A number of experienced psychical researchers investigated the activities of a mediumistic group in Scole (Norfolk, United Kingdom), that claimed to produce under spiritual guidance a wide range of physical phenomena. During a two-year-long study, lights, tape recordings and films bearing images, glyphs, poems, symbols and messages in several languages were produced. The investiga- tors could find no evidence of deception or human interference. A lengthy report, published as refereed proceedings of the Society for Psychical Research, generated a controversy centring on the nature of acceptable scientific evidence. This is examined in the context of Bayesian and Humian criteria, and the author discusses popular fallacies in the treatment of unpalatable evidence.

Darkness Radio – Witnessing The Impossible: The Scole Experiment
Today BEYOND the DARKNESS is Witnessing the Impossible: The Scole Experiment with guest Robin Foy. We discuss the 'Scole Experimental Group' from its foundation and the beginning of The Scole Experiment in 1993 to its very sudden and unexpected ending in November 1998. In all, 1,000 continuous hours of mediumship and objective Physical Phenomena. This represents true eyewitness account of this unique and pioneering experiment, which pushed the boundaries of psychic research further than ever before at that time, consequently changing the face of physical mediumship and its resulting phenomena for all time.
