Ep 323: The Scole Experiment Part 2 – The Germanium Receptor

 
TRANSCRIPT available ON REQUEST
 
“When a second-rate scientist says that this could not possibly happen... they are saying in effect that our current set of scientific models are the last word. And it would be ridiculous to say that; scientific theories [and] descriptions change all the time, and we must expect that to continue.”
— Dr. Arthur Ellison, Lead Investigator for the Scole Report and former two-term president of the Society for Psychical Research
 

Description:

This week, we return to the pitch-black depths of the Scole Experiment, where a sealed room in rural Norfolk became the testing ground for an impossible claim: that voices from beyond could speak through a crude, powerless device that shouldn’t have worked at all. What began as a strange experiment in energy and communication quickly drew the attention of the Society for Psychical Research — seasoned skeptics, scientists, and even magicians determined to expose any trickery. Instead, they found themselves confronting an event that challenged physics, belief, and their own assumptions. Was this the realization of a long-dreamed-of “spirit phone,” or a masterclass in deception?
