Stone Tape Theory: A Debate on the Imprint of History

paranormalovertone — Sun, 09 Jun 2024 19:02:55 GMT

Stone Tape Theory is a concept that has fascinated both paranormal enthusiasts and skeptics since its inception. First proposed in the 1970s, the theory suggests that inanimate materials, particularly stones and buildings, can absorb and later replay the energy from traumatic or significant historical events. This replay is believed to manifest as ghostly apparitions or […]

The "Psychic Ether" hypothesis

paranormalovertone — Sun, 03 Mar 2024 20:21:50 GMT

Listening to another podcast earlier and they were talking about the psychic ether hypothesis, then proceeded to say “this is now more commonly known as stone tape theory” (which is something which does fascinate me and something we intend to investigate soon).

Saturday saw us put our equipment to the test for the first time “in anger”. We had previously planned to do it the previous Saturday but Cheshire’s weather had other ideas (if you’re wondering how high an Audi A4 can send water into the air, the answer is about 20 feet, judging by the puddle […]

In many countries around the globe, the deceased are of great significance, this is no different in Japan. In the Shinto religion, when a person dies their soul travels to the yominokuni which is the Shinto equivalent of Heaven. In Buddhism, souls travel to the pure land of anoyo. But what happens if the souls […]

Imagine, you’re walking down the road in a city you know, maybe you’re shopping or out for drinks with friends, you turn a corner and are transported back in time by 40 or 50 years, or maybe even further.

Theology Thursday: The Gjenganger of Scandinavia.

paranormalovertone — Thu, 01 Feb 2024 09:34:57 GMT

Before Christianity spread across Europe, there were numerous “pagan” religions, one which I have always had interest in, is Norse Paganism from across Scandinavia and that is where the origins of the Gjenganger lie. Featuring in not one but 3 Icelandic Sagas (The Saga of Eric the Red, Eyrbyggja Saga and Grettis Saga). It is […]

Wondering on Wednesday: Are there ghosts at the bottom of the ocean?

paranormalovertone — Wed, 31 Jan 2024 19:24:44 GMT

Talking to a friend the other day and we started to get a little hypothetical, many encounters you see on YouTube and TV where an apparent ghost is being communicated with, the spirit says you stay where you died until such time as you are able to move on. Depending on which side of the […]

I watched the first episode of the new ‘Celebrity, Help My House is Haunted’ last night, with the “celebrity” being Paul Burrell.
