Blackout conditions. 90 minute seance.

Medium: Jon (seated in closed cabinet with waist restraint tied by Chris)

Sitters and witnesses: Chris. Jack. Margaret. Dave. Pam. Marsha (each wearing glo tabs)

This seance was unusually held in blackout conditions, purely as we felt a desire to experiment. All seance's within the Lodge are held on an experimental basis in any case.

The music played was of popular high-energy style, which encouraged sitters to singalong upon occasion.

To be honest there was no absolutely confirmed physical phenomena evidenced. By this I mean there was no movement of specifcally marked objects or anything of that sort.

However sitters were aware of small flickers of energy lights, and foggy clouds that often obscured the luminous tabs worn by the sitters.

We had arrranged for the music to change slightly after 45 minutes, in a manner that the spirit team are familiar with. At this juncture Chris turned on the dim red lighting, before first welcoming Charlie and recieiving his permission to open the cabinet curtains in order to see the vessel, who was seen to be unusually seated cross-legged on his chair. This is not a position he himself favours as due to a knee injury this is in normal conditions particularly uncomfortable.

Charlie then shared communication with the sitters for a period of about 20 minutes before the seance came to a close. As this is another lengthy recording it is probably best played via the offered link, rather than downloaded : http://www.box.net/shared/1qifg0kmlj

An interesting seance, sitting in blackout is always rather special, and we hope to share this experience again soon.
