BORLEY GHOST SOCIETY

Welcome to the first edition of the Borley Ghost Society Newsletter. Your response and enthusiasm has been most encouraging.

This first edition is dedicated to Alan Wesencraft who has served for decades as the curator of the Harry Price Library at the University of London. Alan has retired from that position, even though he promises to help out as he is able to do so. He has been a good friend to me, and his graciousness has been extended to many others as well. Many authors and countless researchers owe him a great deal for the time and patience he has given. Alan is interested in steam locomotives, and I imagine he will now have more time to pursue his hobby. Best of luck, Alan!

Each issue of the newsletter will be posted on the web in our exclusive area at http://www.borleyrectory.com/society/welcome.htm

I've added a new page to my web site describing my mixed emotions about researching Borley and the affect it is having on residents. Read about my conundrum at the link to visitors.

Another new section is devoted to Frequently Asked Questions, or FAQs as they are called.

It was a very busy time around Halloween. I was a guest on the program "KSL TONIGHT" with Kevin Stanfield on KSL-AM Radio 1160, Friday, October 30. KSL is the oldest and largest station in the area. We were supposed to open the phones to callers, but the host was so interested we never got round to that.

Radio Disney will do a segment in December.

The Internet site has been featured by USA Today and by Family Site of the Day. I've downloaded those pages to my web site as they will not last forever.

Ivor Noel Hume is writing a book on his poltergeist experiences, and asked me, "when I have the draft approaching final form, would you be kind enough to look it over to ensure that I have not drawn wrong conclusions. Needless to say, I have found your web site of great help." Hume is an author, and was chief archaeologist for Colonial Williamsburg. He is an expert in Roman British and U.S. colonial period artifacts

• According to the The World Watchers, "Edgar Cayce gave over 14,000 readings between the years 1901 and 1945, covering more than 10,000 topics." On this site you will find a reading he gave about Atlantis, and a link to the A.R.E. Research Center founded by Cayce in 1931. The A.R.E. offers an ESP test, an Online Study Group (chat room), and an invitation to join. I couldn't find any readings on this site.
• I DID find an excellent site with Cayce readings designed by William Terrell

This beautiful web site has stories from over two dozen people who have had NDEs. Each story has its own unique art work, which is worth the visit alone.
• Phenomena On-Line is a great place to visit. A very unique feature of this site is a "PhenomenaCAM" which is "the first live webcam featuring genuine events which are dedicated to the paranormal, the unexplained and the unusual." Using an electronic magazine format, these web pages bring you the latest weird news and current events.

It focuses on crop circles and UFOs, but also looks at monster, Nostradamus, a list of paranormal publications, people related to the paranormal, and much more. You may want to subscribe to the newsletter called "The Strange."
