589: Proving the Afterlife | The Scole E...

The Why Files: Operation Podcast
About this episode
 In 1993, four people gathered in a dark basement in Scole, England, hoping to communicate with the dead. What followed was five years of unexplained phenomena that challenged scientific understanding. 

Strange lights danced in the darkness. Objects materialized from thin air. Photographs appeared on sealed film. 

Scientists and professional skeptics were invited to investigate, and many left without explanations. The spirits claimed to be building a network between dimensions and warned of coming changes to humanity. 

Were the Scole Experiments genuine contact with the afterlife, or an elaborate magic show perfected over 500 séances? The evidence remains controversial, but the impact on those who witnessed these events was undeniable.
