In 1983, the British Psychical Society conducted what may be the first and only scientific experiment into 'remote' ghost hunting. Designated "Project Nightmind," the experiment employed a method known as the *RSR Technique*— Remote Spirit Retrieval—based on modified remote viewing practices.

The RSR Technique involved inducing members of the research team into a semi-hypnotic trance and sending their consciousness into what was referred to as "the spiritual dimension."

Once inside, the subjects were instructed to locate spiritual entities—ghosts—anchored to specific geographical locations. Upon contact, the subjects were to draw the entity back to the BPS facility for further study. Although only fragments of this project remain, the surviving evidence suggests that it was successful.

The project was shut down under undisclosed circumstances. The files were locked away in the Society's basement, buried and forgotten.

Did something go wrong? What exactly did they bring back?

Tonight, we attempt to replicate the original conditions of that experiment.

The 2nd Edition of Ghosts of Great Britain is now available now. This is not a reprint — this is a brand-new collection of haunted souls, infamous phantoms, and folklore nightmares, wrapped in a deck of beautifully illustrated, spine-tingling cards.

The Paranormal Experiment Returns

In this chilling interactive experience, three audience members are enlisted to take part in a modern recreation of a forgotten 1980s experiment in remote spirit contact.

Two volunteers are guided by a strange recording into a semi-hypnotic state, allowing their minds to drift across the veil in search of one of 24 documented hauntings. A third volunteer — known as the control — uses only conscious intuition. Together, they attempt to retrieve a specific spirit from beyond.

What happens next is nothing short of unnerving: The two trance-state volunteers will independently select the same haunting, without a word spoken.

The effect is terrifying, perplexing, and utterly convincing —  Ghosts of Great Britain 2nd Edition offers a ready-to-go, self-working miracle wrapped in lore, nostalgia, and authentic props.

Why It Belongs In Your Show:

• Nothing is gimmicked. Every component can be handled and inspected — no hidden marks, switches, or trickery.

• Hands-off and silent. Volunteers make all choices freely and say nothing during the effect.

• No stack. No memory work. No equivoque. No fishing.

• Failsafe design. If anyone drops a card, the effect still works.

• Accessible to all skill levels. No sleights, no mental gymnastics. It just works.

• Just press play and follow the voice of E.R. Perkins on the vintage cassette, and he'll guide you through every step of the experiment.

Ghosts of Great Britain 2nd Edition is not just a magic effect — it's an immersive experience, an atmospheric showpiece, and an ideal finale for ghost walks, paranormal theatre, or immersive horror events.

If you're building a show around ghosts and the scary nostalgia of the 1980s, this is where it begins.

I know what you're thinking...

"I don't even own a cassette player."

Exactly. That's the point.

Part of the fun is tracking down your own vintage player — a genuine 80s Walkman, a dusty car boot boombox, or a suitcase tape deck that still smells faintly of Stranger Things and cheap leaky batteries. It becomes more than a prop — it's a relic, a character in your show, and the ultimate bit of immersive theatre.

Besides, once that tape clicks into place and the hiss kicks in, you'll know you made the right call.
