In our current run of what seems like revisits, next on the list is Kelvedon Hatch.

RiPA have toured the length and breadth of Britain hitting known, and not so known, bunkers.
Out of all visited so far it seems Kelvedon Hatch tops the RiPA List.

Why is this?

Is it due to the constant reports of haunting phenomena?

Is it because many paranormal groups that visit always come away with *tangible* evidence?

Well actually its neither. Its just a jolly nice place complete with chickens.

Ok so the Kelvedo...

Gee, What a busy time for RiPA.
We have just finished the first part in an ongoing study with Milton Keynes Discovery Center and before we know it there is another study on its way!

This is at Bolebroke Castle.
Thats right, we are returning to Henry VIII's hunting lodge which was also the location where parts of the movie 'The Other Boleyn Girl' was filmed.

RiPA's last visit to Bolebroke sparked some interesting results. It is the only place in RiPA's history where some things had happened that ...

Gee, this update is a bit overdue I know but we have been sooo busy here at RiPA HQ.

But before I get into recent happening within the RiPA realm, let me just recap on the HOUDINI - A'Live Seance event. The stage and setting was perfect. pictures of the night can be found here on our Facebook page.

The night was an intimate occasion and worked really well.
I just want to give a huge shout of thanks to all that attended and especially the audience members that were brave enough to sit at the tabl...

Ok, so here we are again. After recent events, it seems that the time has come again to reiterate what RiPA is about and also to let you know about some of the changes that we have implemented within the RiPA brand.

RiPA - Research into Paranormal Anomalistics is fundamentally an educational research team. We take the showbiz out of the paranormal and bring it back down to Earth. To find out more about Anomalistics and the way RiPA works, check out our more detailed discription here ----> (Abo...

So, you mave have seen an image similar to this one on the left dotted about the place recently. What does it mean and does the fact that RiPA have it on the website mean that RiPA is 'coming out'?

Ok from the top, The 'Scarlett Letter A', in recent times, is the symbol for Richard Dawkins 'Out Campaign' for Atheism.

Obviously, this “A” refers to atheism but in the past, the same symbol, known as “the scarlet letter”, as a way to 'out' and shame adulterers. It would be placed on the fro...

Well well well, here we are in 2010 and how we have all changed..... or not! There has been a few changes within the RiPA world though in order to make the whole RiPA ship flowing smoother than ever.

So whats on the cards for RiPA at the start of this year?
First off, we're off to London to join Prof Chris French on a talk about the 'Psychology of Anomalous Experiences'.

This talk will provide an introduction to the sub-discipline of anomalistic psychology, which may be defined as the study of e...

Ok ok its been a while since the last update but this is because I have been busy busy on various projects with the University departments that RiPA are collaborating with. But more on that later. So the final Derren Brown - The Events has been and gone......and what a palava! Ok he was suppose to be in some unknown casino in europe to gamble £5k, which he 'stole' off an 'unsuspecting' member of the public.


Not totally convinced here at RiPA HQ! This is why:

• Wasnt he lucky to meet a member...

 TV's Living with the dead paranormal investigator, Mark Webb has left the show on his own accord despite claims of him being sacked.
Webb revealed on Richard Felix's radio show, Ghost Chronicles International, that Johnnie Fiori and Ian Lawman had been fed location information prior to the investigations and that he had proof.

Webb sent the proof that he spoke of to RiPA, and we can assure that it certainly seem that Mark's claims are true.
The email is addressed to Johnnie , Ian and Mark with...

Thats right. it seems that our space dwelling cousins 
have tired of visting the remote farm places and trailer park in the good old US of A and have decided to up their standards..... well, according to the taker of this picture anyhow.

The picture of the flying shape was clicked hovering over the house at Hatfield, or Hatfield House even, near Welwyn Garden City.

It was Chris Middleton, of Welwyn, who snapped the mystery object during a a visit to the Jacobean house and garden, the home of t...

Session 2 of RiPA's Ganzfeld experiments has been and gone.This time around the RiPA's that took part done reasonably well as the 'reciever' selected the correct picture even though most of the associations were incorrect.

Those of you who dont know, RiPA is much more than just 'Ghost Investigations'. RiPA is currently undertaking a project in collaboration with Smiths University of London into the tried and tested Ganzfeld experiments.

The premise is that a subject lies down in a selected ...

Back in March there was an event in Edinburgh to speak about paranormal phenomena and the subject of photos took the stage.One photo in particular seemed to cause a stir.

This was taken at Tantallion Castle in East Lothian in Scotland. An  eerie image of a figure at a Scottish castle has got ghost experts spooked as it seemed to have caused the biggest ever investigation into photographic evidence of ghosts.

The picture, taken in May last year, appears to show a spectral
figure in fifteenth c...
