Ghosts of Great Britain 2nd Edition

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 for exclusive preorder. 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.

Choose either the standard deck or, for those with a fever for 80s nostalgia, the Deluxe Performer's Edition, which delivers a full-blown paranormal experience straight from the analogue archives.

The  Deluxe Performer's Edition includes:

• The Ghosts of Great Britain Card Deck & Tuck Box – a fully illustrated deck of cards depicting Britain's most infamous hauntings.

• The Magic Expansion Pack – 5 eerie but straightforward routines designed to recruit the next generation of bizarre magicians: it even has a spirit slate routine!

• A Prop Document from the British Psychical Society – A weathered, classified-style file revealing the original Remote Spirit Retrieval (RSR) protocol. Recovered from the Society's "deep archive."

• An Official RSR Badge – Because no 80s mystery cult was complete without a badge. Wear it proudly — you're part of the experiment now.

• A Downloadable Soundtrack – Retro synths and ambient dread, perfect for underscoring your show.

Ghosts of Great Britain – 2nd Edition is crafted with performers in mind, yet also stands proudly as a nostalgic collector's piece, rich in atmosphere, mystery, and vintage charm. Whether you're a dusty old showman or a kooky kid obsessed with the unexplained, this is the perfect gateway gift for ushering new blood into the strange and wonderful world of bizarre magic.

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.

Everything is currently being printed, and orders will begin shipping in September.

I'm taking preorders now because duplicating C30 cassette tapes is a lost art — a kind of ancient analogue magic that takes a little time and this will be completed throughout July & August.
