Did aliens step in to close an “Interdimensional Doorway” that could have unleashed a cosmic tragedy on a pan-galactic scale?
Note to readers: Please keep in mind that the following is a true story.
On Friday, November 19, 1998, a bizarre drama was playing out in the pitch-black darkness of a cellar beneath a modest farmhouse located in northern England.
In that basement on a wooden table, four individuals had set up an odd contraption called the “Germanium TDC.” It was called that because the primary functional element of the device was made from the rare semi-metal, Germanium. It’s №32 on the periodic table.
Here is what the “TDC” stood for: “Trans-Dimensional Communication.”
The Germanium TDC was assembled under the direction of Professor Arthur Ellison, a renowned British electrical engineer and former director of the Department of Electrical Engineering at City University, London.
Professor Ellison was not the designer or inventor of the device, however.
Get this: The design for the Germanium TDC was “channeled” by psychic trance mediums who were in contact with spirits of the dead. One of those “deceased” individuals was none other than the great American inventor, Thomas Alva Edison. The Germanium TDC was “an improvement” on an original “after-death communication device” that Edison had been working on shortly before he died in 1931.
The Germanium TDC was not powered by conventional electricity. It had no “plug-in,” for example, or wiring per se. Rather, its power source was the ambient “spiritual energy” of the cosmos!
But now, let’s get back to those four individuals who were waiting in the inky darkness with a certain sense of foreboding. They felt dread because they were awaiting a Germanium TDC “transmission” — not from a deceased human being in the Afterlife — but from an incredibly powerful, interdimensional, intergalactic “Extraterrestrial Entity” whose name was “Varren-Here-Ic.”
(Note: Maybe this is a good time to remind you that this story is 100% true, even though it may read like campy pulp science fiction).
Anyway …
The reason the four explorers in the basement nervously anticipated Varren-Here-Ic’s message is that they expected him to issue an edict that would essentially kill a project they had all been dedicating their lives to with passion and discipline for five years.
These good people had sacrificed a lot, including their time, money and, quite frankly, many countless hours of mind-numbing boredom while they waited for “phenomena” to manifest when nothing much was happening.
But now the time had come. All that painstaking, often thankless, hard work over a half-decade was about to be shut down, deep-sixed, shit-canned in one fell swoop.
Sure enough, the Germanium TDC soon crackled to life. A moment later, an unmistakably clear voice boomed from the device. Yes! As expected, it was the powerful trans-dimensional entity Varren-Here-Ic! He spoke and told the four intrepid explorers:
“Your experimental work with the Spirit Team has created a vortex, or doorway. It is this doorway that has attracted experimenters from your future.
This means that every time your four spiritual energies are together, and you try to reestablish communication with your team (of dead people), the future time experimenters try to make their own links with your time. This interference cannot be allowed to continue! We ask that you cooperate by not attempting contact with your Spirit Team!
We must tell you that all (your) work … was very important. The links that were made have already enabled interdimensional energies and wisdom to assist the changes to future Earth consciousness. Therefore, this final mission is to seal the doorway that has been created, and to end ALL communications — I repeat — to end ALL communications.
I would like to thank you for cooperating with us. This is Varren-Here-Ic, and I must end this communication with you now.”
Varren-Here-Ic signed off from his message with what was apparently a ceremonial alien word of closing: “Jar-Had-We!”
Now, again, get this:
The troublemakers from the future that Varren-Here-Ic spoke of were Earth people located in the year 2109!
However, they were no longer ordinary Homo sapiens like you and me. Rather, these future people had undergone radical genetic manipulation, making them something more — or at least something very different — from what we are today.
These genetically modified humans living in the year 2109 may or may not have harbored malicious intent. It seems more likely that they were dabbling in time travel experiments with dangerous implications that they did not fully understand, like children playing with dynamite.
In a previous transmission, Varren-Here-Ic explained that these bungling future trans-genetic-humans were meddling with something called a “crystalline time-probe,” which Varren-Here-Ic describes as “a simple device,” yet using it could produce “time ripples’ and “shock waves.” As it happens, this is a “violation of Cosmic and Interdimensional Law.”
Therefore, the only way to prevent an interdimensional tragedy was for the experimenters to cease and desist from their activities. This meant shuttering the “Cosmic Doorway” they had worked so hard to create in their initial efforts to contact the dead.
THE MOST SIGNIFICANT AFTERLIFE EXPERIMENT IN HISTORY?
Readers here who are steeped in “all-things-paranormal” (like me) may already know from where I am extracting this story. Yes, it’s the famous Scole Experiment, which was conducted over five years between 1993 and 1998 in the village of Scole in Norfolk, England.
The Scole Experiment garnered a modicum of international attention during its run through the mid-1990s. However, it burst into mainstream public consciousness after the release of a documentary about it that aired more than a decade after the group disbanded.
In 2011, Netflix purchased the rights to The Afterlife Investigations: The Scole Experiments, directed by Tim Coleman. It made the Scole Group famous. Coleman also directed the groundbreaking UFO documentary Out of the Blue, which became the second-most-viewed show on Netflix. Millions of viewers also streamed the Afterlife Investigations.
The leader of the Scole Group was Robin Foy, a British sales executive for a paper manufacturing company. He spent every hour of his free time studying and participating in the mysterious world of seances, mediumship, psychic phenomena, and more. A pilot and veteran of the British Royal Air Force, Foy had been attending seances and researching mediumship for some three decades.
(Note: Foy and I became friends briefly before he died in 2022. We exchanged a few friendly notes via Twitter DMs. He was interested in my hobby of photographing orbs, and some of the images of deceased people I captured, including that of the famous British ghost hunter Violet Tweedale. See that photo + story here: VIOLET TWEEDALE
The three other principals of the Scole Group were Robin’s wife, Sandra Foy, and another husband-and-wife team, Alan and Diana Bennett. Alan was a “physical medium,” and Diana was an “energy medium.” Again, these working-class Brits were solid, salt-of-the-earth folks who held ordinary day jobs while they pursued afterlife contact activities with great zeal in their spare time.
But wait a minute …
The four members of the Scole Group were just “one side” of the experiment. The other side was composed of people who were just that — “on the Other Side.” That is, they were the spirits of deceased people. They were called “The Spirit Team.”
Some of the principal members of The Spirit Team were:
- Emily Bradshaw — An elegant and refined British woman who lived during Victorian times.
- Edwin — This spirit kept his identity a secret at first, but he was later revealed to be the famous author, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, who died in 1930.
- Raji — A long-dead Indian soldier who had been a member of an ancient Hindu warrior caste.
- Patrick McKenna — a defrocked Irish priest who was “jovial” when living and remained so now in the Spirit Realm.
- Manu — A spirit who claimed he had “lived one incarnation” as a human being centuries ago in South America. Interestingly, Manu claimed that his “mother was human” but that his father was “not human.” So, he may have been an alien hybrid.
- Joseph — Another spirit who preferred to use a pseudonym but was later revealed to be none other than the great British physicist Sir Oliver Lodge. (Note: See my review of Lodge’s 1916 book, Raymond: Life or Death HERE).
- William — A helpful spirit who clearly possessed vast scientific and technical knowledge, and who was later revealed to be the world-renowned chemist and physicist, Sir William Crookes.
But now, get this:
The Spirit Team members who worked directly with the Scole Group were supervised by an organized panel consisting of more advanced or “evolved” souls located somewhere in the Afterlife Universe.
This higher-echelon group was dubbed “The Council of Communion.” It was a collection of powerfully advanced spiritual entities who supervised or “called all the shots,” so to speak, on how the Scole Experiment would conduct its investigations. This effort included creating a “bridge” that would serve as a consistent, direct line of communication between the living and the dead.
The Scole group never made a move without consulting the Council of Communication, and they never went against its wishes when it objected to a certain experiment or activity. The Council of Communication could even veto — and did — any outsider guest the Scole Group might want to invite to sit in and observe a session.
(Side Note):
It’s fascinating to observe that The Scole Group is not the only experimental afterlife investigation team that found itself working with a “higher echelon” extra-dimensional organized panel, council or consortium composed of transcended entities.
Similar Afterlife organizations were also encountered by folks working in the field of Electronic Voice Phenomenon (EVP) and Instrument Trans-Communication (ITC). This involves using various electronic audio recording devices to capture “voices of the dead.”
In her recent book, Glimpses of Another World, Anabela Cordoso, Ph.D., a Portuguese woman and a world leader in EVP and ITC study, tells of a group called “The River of Time.” It is made up of the “spirits” of deceased people who now enjoy a full and vibrant existence in the Afterlife. The entities that worked with The River of Time call their headquarters on the other side “Timestream Station.”

ROBIN FOY’S 900-PAGE SCOLE DIARY
Perhaps like many folks, I thought I knew the whole story of the Scole Group, especially after watching Tim Coleman’s documentary, and also viewing the many (albeit mostly repetitive) videos that added some additional detail to the events.
However, I recently decided to get a copy of Robin Foy’s massive 900-page Scole Diary, in which he provides a painstaking, blow-by-blow daily accounting of the mind-blowing events that occurred during every day of the 5-year project.
Slogging through the drudgery-laden, granular details of all that happened in “The Scole Hole” rewarded me with a surprising new perspective about just how groundbreaking and revolutionary it was. I also realized that “the UFO-alien-contact” aspect has never received nearly enough attention.
So that’s what I want to discuss now.
THE FIRST UFO APPEARS
It was about three years into the Scole Experiment that the first sign of alien contact emerged. Note that the Scole participants did not specifically seek contact with ETs or interdimensional beings.
Indeed, the notion of using a séance to channel “aliens” or any other entities — other than the usual spirits of the usual deceased humans — was not something that was even remotely on the radar of the Scole members.
Up until that point, the Scole activity — while remarkable — was grounded in what one would expect from seances conducted in England. That is, the majority of the spirit contacts Scole interacted with were long-dead or recently deceased British personalities, and most of these were Victorian-era individuals, many of whom had been deeply involved with after-death explorations during their lifetimes.
Indeed, several of the Scole spirit contacts were former members of the world-famous SPR, the Society for Psychical Research based in London, such as the aforementioned Sir Oliver Lodge and the chemist/physicist Sir William Crookes. The latter served as president of the SPR from 1896 to 1899. These scientific luminaries were deeply involved in Afterdeath research and continued in this capacity after they “transitioned to the Other Side.”
A FLYING SAUCER SHOWS UP
But then on Tuesday, December 10, 1996 — totally unexpected in the utter darkness of the Scole House basement — a miniature classic “flying saucer” entered the scene! Here is how Robin Foy described the event in his diary entry for that day:
“For the next 45 minutes … this can only be described as a miniature UFO that flew about the cellar! The structure stayed with us in the room, gracefully flying about to all parts; occasionally covering a quite large distance in a split second … it had six or seven tiny but bright light sources which appeared to be constantly twinkling, together with a number of “portholes.”
The UFO disk was perhaps 8 or 9 inches in diameter.
Foy said the UFO could shine “an individual bright beams of light” onto any object in the room, which it did as it explored every nook and cranny of the Scole basement
On one occasion when this “Mini-UFO” appeared, Nick Kyle, a Scotsman and president of the Scottish chapter of the British Society for Psychical Research, was sitting in as a guest at the session.
Mr. Kyle was interviewed recently by long-time British paranormal researcher Steve Mera on his YouTube channel. (See the interview here, STEVE MERA-NICK KYLE). Kyle said he vividly remembers sitting in on one of the sessions when the UFO appeared — and then he offered an incredibly interesting anecdote.
Kyle said that he was able to peer inside the portholes of the UFO, and although he did not see any “occupants,” what struck him as amazing was that “the inside of the UFO seemed to be much larger than the outside.”
This is fascinating because it comports with the stories of hundreds, if not thousands, of cases of UFO contact abductees or contactees who report that the UFOs they entered were vastly larger on the inside than they were on the outside. For example, a person taken into a UFO that might be 20 feet in diameter could be as large as a luxury cruise ship on the inside. Again, this is commonly reported in UFO literature.
To me, this adds credibility to the Scole “mini-UFO” encounter. Furthermore, the Scole Mini-UFO was observed by at least a dozen outside visitors who were invited to sit in the Scole Group from time to time.
THE ALIENS WERE VIDEOTAPED
A major aspect of the Scole Experiments was an effort to capture video images of the various phenomena that manifested. The methodology for doing this was done under very detailed instructions delivered by the Spirit Team.
The spirits instructed the Scole participants to set up a video camera in a way that created a “closed loop.” This was done by setting up a camera that focused on a mirror set at about a 45-degree angle. A second mirror was positioned so that it caught the reflection of the first mirror. Thus, a “triangle” consisting of the video camera and two mirrors created a “closed loop” for gathering images.
The video effort captured an impressive array of phenomena, from orbs and apparitions to images of faces of spirit people — including images of alien beings. Some readers may be familiar with Scole’s video capture of an alien face that looked like a classic “grey alien,” although this one bears a greenish hue in the video footage.
The video camera also recorded a remarkably realistic, albeit blurry image, which showed a close-up of a large-eyed alien’s (or interdimensional being) face whose eyes rolled from side to side in an eerie manner. (Note: See this eye-rolling alien face in this video, starting at about 1:08.)
Incidentally, toward the end of the Scole run, the group had begun experimenting with full, lighted conditions for the first half hour of each session before reverting to the traditional total darkness mode of operations. Some of the alien imagery was recorded with the lights switched on in the Scole cellar.
This latter aspect of Scole — working in full-light conditions — was a historic and gigantic step forward. It was hugely significant because it meant driving a dagger into the heart of the primary criticism of the skeptics. The skeptics always fall back on the argument that operating in complete darkness makes it possible for clever trickery, fraud and deception to be accomplished unseen. For skeptics, insistence on working only in absolute darkness is the ultimate “deal breaker.”
In fact, a cadre of scientists with the Society of Psychical Research, who were studying the Scole results, made repeated requests (actually, demands) that they be allowed to install infrared night-vision cameras to record the group proceedings. However, the Spirit Team, under the guidance of the ascended Council of Communication, consistently vetoed the request.
The Spirit Team argued that the night vision camera issue would soon be made moot anyway because they were working toward eliminating the darkness protocol. They planned to conduct Scole experiments in full lighting conditions soon. Again, this latter condition had already begun in the last months of the Scole saga.
A SPLIT FROM EXTOPLASM & SHIFT TOWARD INTERDIMENSIONAL BEINGS
Why did the phenomenon produced by the Scole Group switch from traditional séance activity that focused on contact with spirits of the dead to be dominated by interactions with ET, aliens and interdimensional beings? The four core members of the Scole Group were not UFO buffs going into their project.
Part of the answer is that the Scole Experiments broke with certain key traditions from the beginning. The most significant departure was a switch from relying on “ectoplasm” as the primary “power source” of producing séance phenomena in favor of relying on a more direct form of “spiritual energy.”
It is necessary to understand that ectoplasm was determined to be a necessary substance by spiritualist groups in the late19th-century. It was a “tool” or substance that spirits of the dead could leverage to materialize physically in our world.
Ectoplasm was something derived from the physical body of the medium. This substance was called “vapor” or a “viscous substance,” said to exist within the biological form of a human being.
The understanding was that mediums could allow spirits to “borrow” this physical substance from the medium’s body to materialize or “construct” manifestations of hands, limbs, faces, or even full-body apparitions of spirits. Furthermore, the ectoplasm could be used as a tool that enabled spirits to levitate tables, chairs, or other objects. They needed ectoplasm to blow horns, ring bells, knock (or rap) on tables, and perform other feats.
Early on in Robin Foy’s diary, he explains that the Scole Group’s method would be to abandon all concept of using ectoplasm in favor of generating “direct spiritual energy.” What puzzles me is how this came about. That is, what was the Scole Group doing differently to make this historic switch from ectoplasm to “spiritual energy” to drive the phenomenon, and what prompted them to come to the decision? (This directive may have come from the Spirit Team itself).
In reality, this whole ectoplasm issue is a huge can of worms that I am not going to get into now. That’s because it’s far more complex than what I have presented here. I’ll only add that the appearance and photo evidence of ectoplasm were rife with the potential for fraud.
Whatever the case, it is interesting to note that it was The Spirit Team and The Council of Communication that forbade the Scole people from using ectoplasm. And get this: The Spirits directed the Scole Group to never mention ectoplasm verbally — and to not even think about it!
WHO NEEDS MILLIONS OF DOLLARS FOR SETI?
One of the most fascinating observations Robin Foy offers in his 900-page diary was his wry comment noting the “irony” of mainstream science spending hundreds of millions of dollars on programs such as SETI, the Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence.
The SETI Institute was founded in 1984 and has since spent an average of $25 to $30 million a year (mostly privately funded) to deploy massive radio telescopes and scads of high-tech equipment to detect signals from space that might be transmitted by other intelligent civilizations in the universe.
Yet, the Scole Group managed to establish a complex intergalactic and interdimensional communication system using a low-tech device made of Germanium and scrap metal with a few wires connected to the speaker of a cassette tape recorder.
Furthermore, using the power of “human psychic channeling” combined with simple non-electric receiving contraptions (just a few dollars in materials), the Scole Group established a complex array of interconnected, pan-galactic “receiving stations,” and “booster nodes” that put dozens of alien individuals and civilizations in contact with people here on Earth.
I was fascinated by Foy’s description of the complex network of interstellar, interlinked “communication nodes” located across the far reaches of the Multiverse, including distant planets located in our normal physical reality, but also venues that were not material-based but “energy” based.
For example, the Scole Group established communication with a planet or perhaps an interdimensional location called “Meganhand.” The beings of Meganhand explained to the fascinated earthlings that they:
“…did not actually exist in a state of molecular solidity like humans but existed in a state of flux.”
The residents of Meganhand also told the Scole member that human beings incorrectly assume that our minds are located within and generated by the physical matter of our brains, when, in reality, our minds, they said, “exist outside of your physical bodies.”
Another space-space contact was with a physical planet called “Omland.” The beings of Omland explained to their human contacts that they also “breathed air,” and that they “had two eyes” but also a “third eye located outside the body.”
The Scole Group did more than communicate verbally with ETs, and interdimensional beings through the Germanium TCD — they were also able to make physical “touch contact” with a bizarre but intelligent alien species whose physical bodies were similar to octopi. That’s right!
These octopus-like aliens were able to manifest physically in the Scole cellar, much like the spirits of the dead gained a short-term foothold in our reality, drawing upon the ambient spiritual energy of the séance-like process. Foy describes numerous incidents when he and the other members of Scole were touched by tentacles and limbs that had sucker-like structures on them.
What I am describing here is only a few examples of the many verbal, visual and physical-touch manifestations the Scole Group experiences vis-à-vis alien intelligences from far-off locations across both the physical universe and a vaster and comprehensive interdimensional Multiverse.
BETTER THAN GREER’S “CE-5” AND SKYWATCHER “DOG WHISTLE”
In my view, the alien two-way communications achieved by the Scole Group were light-years beyond other, more well-known methods often discussed in the UFO community today.
That includes the now well-known CE-5 alien contact protocols developed by famous ufologist Dr. Steven Greer. His method involves groups of people sitting outside under the stars as they participate in a sort of “group meditation.” They start with an intent to make “friendly and loving” contact with whatever alien intelligences may want to respond.
Note that CE-5 also deploys added processes to the meditation effort, such as shining powerful laser-like effects into the sky, along with playing specially developed recordings of what is purported to be “UFO sounds.”
More recently, a group called Skywatcher, co-founded by former military Special Forces dude Jake Barber, has developed what they call their “Dog Whistle” technique. It’s similar to CE-5, but Skywatch enlists the aid of special people, most likely former military or former intelligence operatives trained in “military-grade” remote viewing and advanced “mindscape” techniques.
Skywatcher has hinted at spectacular results, including luring physical “nuts-and-bolts” UFOs to appear and possibly even land. The once stated goal of Skywatcher is to disable and capture a UFO to obtain its advanced alien technology to “reverse engineer” for corporate and military use. However, this group has been unusually silent in recent months.
My point is, many people in the UFO community take Greer’s CE-5 and the Skywatcher Dog Whistle protocols seriously, and there is evidence that both have achieved some success in contacting non-human intelligences. Both have produced photo and video evidence (albeit always controversial).
But the Scole Group produced way more, including far superior photo and video evidence, including recording the voices of “alien entities” speaking to them verbally via the Germanium TDC. Furthermore, the Scole Group allowed dozens of witnesses to sit in on and observe the effects they achieved. That included numerous mainstream scientists — such as the famous physicist Dr. Rupert Sheldrake and the German physicist Dr. Ernst Senkowski.
Of course, skeptics and mainstream science — and probably a majority of the general public — dismiss all of the above as nonsense, fakery, or attribute it to the delusional ravings of flaky New Agers, ghost hunters, UFO boffins, and sundry gullible dabblers in arcane buffoonery.
However, the Scole Group was among the most open projects of its kind in the field of paranormal investigation. It actively invited skeptics, mainstream scientists, and the public alike to sit in to view its sessions and allowed for unlimited analysis of the results it produced.
No scientist or skeptic ever produced a shred of credible evidence that fraud was involved. In fact, Robin Foy frequently challenged anyone, especially scientific-minded skeptics, to reproduce the Scole phenomenon results using the same methodology set up under the identical conditions.
No one ever took him up on the offer.
