Lincs Paranormal Research Team

This page (and hopefully others to follow) will have various pieces of stuff that either we can't explain or want others opinions of. If there's nothing much here, that'll be purely because nothing much has happened at the places we visit - If we get anything 'interesting' we'll share it with you (if we have permission from the places to do that - a lot of our work is done in private and they WON'T appear on here), we're not going to start making stuff up just to hold people's interest etc and we won't fill the pages with boring 'orb' pics that are more likely to be dust and airborne fibres etc than anything paranormal. Updates of anything appearing here will be on the home page.

We make no claims that these are proof of the paranormal in any way, but would like to hear your opinions on them. (in fact, my own opinion is that none of these are paranormal in any way, shape or form but to have a blank page isn't very interesting is it? even if this page should really have nothing on it as we have no genuine evidence at all)

If you have problems with the 'right click and save target as' option then either left click the links and download the files or right click and use the 'open in new window' option, some users might see a yellow bar at the top of the page if using XP etc, click on that and select 'download file'.

These are pictures taken of the bar area, they were later zoomed in and slightly brightened - no other manipulations have been done to these photos at all. The 'blue streak' of light on the right of the mirror is just the reflection of the flash off the bottles going onto the mirror so please ignore that. Is this just smears on the glass of the mirror or something else? Let us know what you think it is by contacting us.

The full uncut first pic can be downloaded from here. Just right click this link and 'save target as' if using IE. A second picture taken 45 minutes later can also be downloaded from here. Does the scene in the mirror change? Is it the angle of the camera picking up the smears differently or something else? (each pic is around 1.2mb in size)

* A few people have asked why I've linked to 2 bar pics - the clue is above...the reason is because the 2 pics below are of the mirror which is behind the bar. It is so you can download the pics yourself and zoom in on the mirror to see if there's anything there and also to prove we've not been touching up the pics - it was pointed out to us by a couple of people that there seemed to be something in the mirror...but is there something there or is it just smears on the glass? Hope that explains it better.

[my thoughts: this is just smudges and reflected flash from the bottles hitting the mirror - people have contacted us to say they have seen demonic faces, transparent figures, writing and allsorts on these. I used these pics as an experiment to see what people would come up with if they thought it was a genuine paranormal pic and it helped to judge peoples perceptions of something normal being put into a 'paranormal' setting]

This following clip was recorded when we were heading back into the church after prowling around outside for a while. The footsteps and low talking on this recording were made by one of our members...but what else is on there? You will need to download this clip to play it, (right click the link and 'save target as' if using IE.) Then have a listen and let us know what you think is on there, if anything. The clip is in Windows Media Audio format and hasn't been slowed down or any of that sort of thing, the only thing that has been done to it is a small piece of noise reduction to reduce the amount of hiss on the recording.

I've now uploaded a couple more clips of this 'evp', this first clip is the part isolated and more hiss filtered out. The next clip is the same one but has had the pitch increased to hopefully make it sound clearer, the speed of the clip itself is totally untouched. (again right click and 'save target as' to download the clips) This time the clips are mp3pro encoded.

[my thoughts: not sure what this is but it could be anything from outside being picked up by the camcorder, a genuine unknown that could be anything]

This is a little part of the footage taken on the night by Jeff. Whilst he was sitting alone in a sealed off staircase he got plenty of the usual 'orbs' (or bits of dust floating close to the IR beam of his camcorder) but this short clip is something else.

We've experimented with threads of cobweb but they don't show up in the same way as this, it could be a stray fibre floating near to the IR beam but we're not sure. Download the clip by right clicking this and 'save target as', let us know what you think is on this clip by using the contact form. You should be able to slow it down if using Media Player, obviously the quality of the clip isn't as good as from source but it should still play ok.

The part to look out for is between 59.28 - 59.30 and starts from close to the bottom centre of the screen and moves up and then to the right. The file is a wmv file and is only about 644k in size.

A second file of slightly higher quality (and a bit longer) is available for download, this is a DivX avi file that can be played on most DVD software players and recent versions of realplayer etc. Right click and download as before. The size of the file is around 2.5MB.

[my thoughts: This is more than likely dust reflecting off the IR light of the camcorder]
