Once again our intrepid reporters have returned to Demesne Road in their quest to uncover the weirder happenings in Whalley Range. Nothing has been witnessed at the house since our initial evidence of a haunting and occult practice within was uncovered. 

This time we delved further into the dowels of the house, taking alongside us medium Catherine Renaud-DuBois and more sophisticated recording and detection equipment. Our report regarding the chilling findings uncovered during a seance with Catherine and a spirit referring to itself as General Halja will be posted here next week as all recorded evidence is currently undergoing further analysis and verification with our colleagues at the department of Forensic Science at MMU.

In the meantime we can present a few images of some intriguing items found inside the house, all indicating some form of medical research was taking place in the property.

Hand written biological research [fig 1] - الخلايا والجنون by Abdul Lazed Rah - this note book was found located in a concealed attic space along side a pill bottle [fig 2]. The area looked as if it was previously set up as some sort of laboratory facility, fire damaged remains showed a crude fume cupboard and extraction pipe system connected to the houses main chimney [fig 3] but little else remained aside from a few shattered test tubes and a melted metal object warped beyond recognition by heat.

Item #2 - News from the Great White North

Our trans-Atlantic correspondent reports from Petrie Island, Ottawa, Canada.

Petrie Island, Ottawa, Canada. A small island carved out by the Ottawa river, its strange occult topography clear in satellite images [fig 1, google maps satellite image]. The island has long been suspected as a magnet for the paranormal, the differential current of the river - fast flowing on the north, lazy and choked on the south - charging up the triangle of land and its many channels with strange energies, just like a giant Van de Graaff generator.

Out snapping with the Polaroid one afternoon, I decided to head over to Petrie to enjoy a fine sunset. As the light faded I spotted some strange lights high in the sky. I managed to capture these with my camera [fig 2, p15-4]. Stranger still was the bright spot and blue tinge that appeared several minutes after the polaroid had been ejected from the camera, as though the image had become sensitized to some kind of non-visible radiation field, perhaps emitted from the objects in the sky or perhaps emanating from the island itself.

I didn't see anything else unusual until I was heading off the island well after the sun was down and the twilight was fading to night. Then I managed to snap something even stranger: what appears to be a UFO streaking over the island [fig 3, p15-3]. The landscape is barely visible in the gloam, but around the UFO there is - as before - a strange blue/purple field visible. I can only guess at the origins of this field, that it is some kind of radiation field used as propulsion for these craft, and that the special topography of Petrie allows recharging of the engines of these alien vessels.

All eyes are on Petrie for our next visit from our alien visitors.

Item #1 - Derelict House on Demesne Road

Got these pictures developed last week, didn't notice anything weird when I took them but the guy in London Camera Exchange was spooked when I picked them up. I asked him what was up and he shows me these two shots.

Turns out he grew up across the street and knew the old guy who used to live there, General Thomas Thawsly. Apparently the guy was a real saint but over the 2 years he lived there he went nuts, he stopped talking and just used to blabber the word "halija" over and over.

One day the place burnt down, when the smoke cleared they found the general burnt to a crisp in the basement along with the mutilated bodies of his wife and daughter. Apparently they'd been held down there for months and some supremely weird dark shit had gone down. The fire started from some kind of ritual he'd held, theres still pentagrams and shit all over the walls but I figured that was just the crack heads who'd drawn em...
