The Scole Experiment: For five years a group of researchers and mediums witnessed more phenomena than in any other experiment in the history of the paranormal, including recorded conversations with the dead, written messages on sealed film, video of spirit faces appearing and even spirit forms materializing. The Electronic Voice Phenomenon: Can the dead speak to the living via electronic devices like radios and tape recorders? Scientists investigating Italy's most famous medium, think so.

    1x01 The Scole Experiment

    • no air date1h 25m

    For five years a group of researchers and mediums came together in the tiny English village of Scole. During five hundred investigations they produced more evidence for the possibility of life after death than any other experiment in the history of the paranormal. The events at Scole were so spectacular and so regular it was possible for a team of internationally renowned scientists to investigate the phenomena under strictly controlled conditions. They described the Scole Experiment as ‘the greatest afterlife experiment ever conducted in the Western world.’
    Some of the amazing events witnessed by the scientists included: two-way communication with a group of deceased personalities via the mediums; video recordings of spirit faces; hand written messages which appeared on factory-sealed, unopened photographic film; the materialization of solid spirit forms and many more ‘miraculous’ events that broke all known laws of science. Publicity for the Scole Experiment will soon explode. A US production company is currently dramatizing the story into a two-hour special for a major US broadcaster.

    1x02 Marcelo Bacci

    In Italy we explore the work of internationally famous medium, Marcelo Bacci. For years, thousands of grieving parents from around the world have visited his centre. Many say they can hear the voices of their deceased children speak through his radio. Our cameras were able to capture this extraordinary process as it happened. Mothers weep with joy as they recognize the voices of their departed children.
    Scientific investigations into Bacci include voice print analysis using FBI software. Recordings of people’s voices before they died have been compared to those emerging from Bacci’s radio have produced a 97% match. This is the first time Bacci’s work has appeared in a UK/US production.

    Recently popularized in the Hollywood blockbuster - White Noise - practitioners of the Electronic Voice Phenomenon (EVP) claim to be able to pick up the voices of the dead using simple tape recorders. In the US we visit a mother who claims to have ongoing communication with her deceased son via EVP. Since his death twenty years ago, she has produced hundreds of clear EVP samples. She is convinced they originate from her son because she is able to recognize his voice and the audio contains specific phrases that only he used.
    Critics say EVP is just the pick up of stray broadcast signals. But we follow a former NASA scientist, and the world’s leading EVP researcher, into a laboratory that is totally shielded from all sound and electromagnetic signals. Despite it being a scientific impossibility he is able to produce an EVP sample in front of our cameras.

    1x04 Allison DuBois

    Allison DuBois is the most famous medium in the world. Her real life abilities are dramatized in NBC’s hit TV series Medium staring Patricia Arquette. During the production of this film the chief investigator into the Scole Experiment died during a lecture presentation. Our cameras captured this tragic event. We then challenged Dubois to take part in a controlled experiment. Could she contact the dead scientist? As we filmed she was able to accurately describe how and where he died. Her description is intercut with footage of his death to show just how well Dubois succeeded.
    Have these Afterlife Investigations finally provided definitive scientific evidence for life after death? You decide.
