The Scole Report

Record summary

This report by Montague Keen, Adrian Ellison, and David Fontana examined the Scole séances from the standpoint of psychical research. It is a particularly useful lead because it records investigators’ procedures, observations, photographic and physical claims, and the reasoning used to reject ordinary explanations. Its evidential status remains controversial: supporters regard it as a serious investigation, whereas skeptics question security, supervision, photographic controls, and the possibility of deception. It should be read alongside contemporary critiques rather than treated as proof of survival.
