Who are Spectre Analysis?

Hi and thank you for viewing our blog. Spectre Analysis are a private, non-profit making, Paranormal Research group based in Crewe and Nantwich are, Cheshire. It's founders were previously part of a similar group for over two and half years and have a large portfolio of investigations to date. Our team are mature, and professional individuals who take our 'hobby' (as some would call it) seriously and responsibly.

WHAT DO WE DO?

"The most important tools in this or any investigation are a questioning mind and a solid understanding of scientific principles."

Benjamin Radford

Our main focus is to approach the field of the paranormal from a scientific and evidence based approach, studying and collecting accurate evidence that will help us form theories that may explain paranormal sites. Were not all quantum physicists but we try to understand as much to our ability the scientific aspects of our work.

A large majority of investigations are done on the assumption that sites are 'home to' ghosts and spirits. For instance some popular assumption are:

> Mediums CAN contact the dead?.
> Calling out... can ghosts hear and react to verbal request?
> Orbs are ghosts?
> Former residents are responisble for hauntings?
> Graveyards and cemetaries are full of ghosts?
> You can see ghosts better in the dark?

These could be true but there is not suffient evidence to support them. This could also lead to the possibility of suggestion.

WHAT WE DONT DO?
We are not "Ghost Hunters" and we do not 'banish' or 'exorcise' alleged 'ghosts' or 'spirits'.

OUR OBJECTIVES?
1. To collect verifiable evidence to support the theory that the human soul survives after death.

2. Help clients (and ourselves) to form a clearer understanding of what may be causing unexplained phenomena.

3. Continualy strive to keep an open mind and a skeptical approach to our work.

WHERE DO WE INVESTIGATE?
As you can see, a lot of our investigations have taken place in Pubs. These places have been a communial meeting places for hundreds of years, and hold a vast amount of history and memories attached to them. But generaly we will investigate most any loction in an around the Cheshire area and also further.

Maybe you think that your home or business is haunted and you would consider a private investigation taylored to your personal requirements? I can assure you that all information will be kept private and that our team conducts itself in a highly professional manner. Please do not hessitate to contact us for an informal chat.

BALLROOM BLITZ AT ASYLUM

IT IS A VERY SAD DAY TODAY.

The ballroom at the Asylum has been conveniently 'demolished' by fire. Very convenient don't you think, only a week after the protests in Denbigh. My fears are what will be next? I think there will have to be an investigation as to what caused it. Ian McGregor commented fromt the forum ..."A convenient way to get rid of bats, shut up the protesters, and an excuse to knock down grade II buildings without being judged. Once the supporting timbers are gone, walls can be declared structurally unsound. No doubt it was insured for a large packet too and the owner will be excused from that 4.9m (or thereabouts) he was supposed to pay within the month. DCC now has the responsibility to launch an investigation with the police."

I did not wholey agree with the protest, my thoughts were to compile a 'friends of' and work along side the CC and the developers, which I STILL feel was a better way to approach this, work with them rather than against them. BUT its too late now. The ballroom was one of the building scheduled for demolition on the plans, and thats been accomplished.

Denbigh Asylum Awareness Web site Re-Launch

3 Years ago northwaleshospital.co.uk was set up to help promote public views on the decaying Victorian asylum. After two years of the grounds staying stagnant, public awareness of the hospital diminished and the website shut down.

Now with the plans coming to the final stages consciousness and memories of the hospital are now at the forefront of people thoughts, this is why they have taken action and are now re-launching northwaleshospital.co.uk
Here you you can find a PDF showing the buildings set for demolition. It looks like the main facade will be ketp with the adjoinng wings, but the rest of the bulidings will come down, including the ball room which I think is a terrible shame that, could easily be resored.
Please feel free to join their forum http://www.northwaleshospital.co.uk/forum/

If you are a member of the forum, you will need to re-join, as they have moved on to a new system.

Take this opportunity to post your views and opinions. Go on have YOUR say.
