In the next few episodes of The Dark Side of Lightwork, I will offer a short series exploring some of the things from the paranormal world that piqued my curiosity, and scared me deeply at the same time.

The second topic in this series is about one of the first books I had ever heard of that came with dire warnings against its use. Best case scenario, you conjure a demon, worse case scenario, you die after reading it.

Have you heard of the Necronomicon?

In Part Two of my three part exploration of the Scole Experimental Group, I will be sharing what I have learned about The Scole Report.

A lengthy case study documenting two years of sessions taking place within the Scole Hole. This report was complied and organized by members of one of the oldest paranormal investigative societies in the UK. The Society of Psychical Research.

Let’s dive into what this group had to say about whether or not The Foy’s, Bennett’s and other members in the Scole Group are 100% legit or just modern day charlatans.

In part one of a three part exploration, I am going to share what I have learned about The Scole Experimental Group. Toted as being one of the most successful investigations into the existence of life after death, The Scole Group has an intriguing case study into the world of physical mediumship that hadn’t openly been explored since the 1930’s. More than lights flickering or thumps on the walls, this group is said to have manifested a full bodied apparitions of the members of the spirit team they called the spirit scientists.

In today’s episode, I will be sharing the very basics of what you need to know about the tarot. I found it interesting how much illegitimate knowledge is still being spread about this style of cards.

In today’s episode, I am going to share what I have learned about the Codex Gigas. Over the last 800 years, this massive book has intrigued those who have had the chance to view it in person. Superstitious warnings and supernatural tales are linked to the Codex Gigas. It is even said that one of the books past owners had developed an unhealthy obsession with it.

According to legend, the monk who is credited for producing this massive text actually had help in its creation. It is said that when God wouldn’t answer the monks calls for help, he prayed for the assistance of another. And It was the Devil who stepped forward to answer his call.

In today’s episode, I will be exploring what I have found out about Garnet Montana. This historical mining town is a well known destination for ghost town enthusiasts. But it is also becoming well known in the circles of those attracted to the strange and unusual. There are some articles out there that claim it is challenging to get volunteers to commit to living in Garnet for one reason; and this is due to the reports of paranormal activity.
