When you are researching a book, you get a licence to do things that under normal circumstances might be considered quite mad, and given opportunities to talk about them with reasonableness.
I am researching a book (or at least, pretending to) whether it will ever get fully written or not I do not know. In the meantime though, I have the opportunity to research a number of are generally called Pseudoscientific hypotheses or para scientific beliefs. I think these two terms are intentionally derogatory, and so I prefer the friendlier term Earth Mysteries.
If I am seriously to write this book then I need to explore at least three of these earth mysteries. They are; The existence of UFO’s, the existence of Ley Lines and Earth Energies and dowsing, a means by which such energies and therefore Ley lines can be found.
If then, I am to research these earth mysteries what do I need to do? Well, I have to confess that I have bought a set of dowsing rods! I can Dow dowsing anywhere, who knows what I will find here in Gosport? I have been finding out how to use them – they haven’t arrived yet, but if you are in Gosport and you see me walking around with them, stop and say hello.
As for UFO’s I feel I should spend at least part of a night at an ancient site, perhaps Knowleton. But, I would like a portable chair that rotates so that I can scan all of the visible sky. And for part of the night, I do mean past midnight.
