This year, we invite researchers, enthusiasts, and the curious alike to join us at the University of Worcester for a truly special two-day event packed with insight, history, and community. It will be our third visit here.

What lies beyond the edge of our current scientific understanding? This is the central question driving our upcoming event, where an elite group of special guest speakers will gather to bridge the gap between the known and the unexplained. From the whispers of the past to the high-tech mysteries of the skies, we invite you to join us for an exploration of the phenomena that challenge our perception of reality.

Our speakers will lead attendees through the chilling and complex worlds of ghosts and poltergeists. Moving beyond mere campfire stories, these sessions will examine the latest evidence and theories regarding survival of consciousness and the physical manifestations of “noisy ghosts.” Complementing this is a deep dive into folklore, tracing how ancient myths and local legends shape our modern experiences with the supernatural.

The conference takes a turn toward the cosmic and the abstract with dedicated sessions on UFOs and the recent shifts in how we understand unidentified aerial phenomena. For those interested in the structure of reality itself.
