Scottish UFO & Paranormal Conference Promises ToBe Filled With the Strange and Unknown

From UFO sightings to ghostly encounters, a day packed with paranormal activity is about to descend on Edinburgh.

The Scottish UFO and Paranormal Conference will take place at the Pleasance Theatre on Saturday, June 20 delving into weird and wonderful paranormal topics.Organised by the Founder of Strange Phenomena Investigations, Malcolm Robinson, the event will explore these mystery sightings and events across the UK.

“This conference is one of a kind,” Malcolm said. “It's to educate the people of Scotland to the strange world of UFOs and the paranormal.

“We aim to do this by providing some of the best speakers in the United Kingdom in their field to present their own facts and findings about these wide ranges of strange mysteries that have totally perplexed us for many years.

“It's a great opportunity for the public to come along and see where we are with all these mysteries. We welcome sceptics, at the end of the day I was very sceptical myself.”

It wasn’t until Malcolm had his own ghostly encounter, in a haunted house nonetheless, that he realised there may be more to the paranormal world than he believed.

“I set out to disprove all these subjects when I was a younger chap,” Malcolm said.

“It wasn't until I spent a night in a haunted house and I got slapped and my hair pulled by nothing, that's when I came off the fence.

“At the end of the day all we're trying to do is at least show the public this is what's going on. You don't have to believe a word of this, but for goodness sake just take it in a wee bit. Take it in and if it sits right with you, fantastic.”ara

The conference marks the first time the society of Strange Phenomena Investigations will put on a major event, inviting speakers including Brian Allen, Ron Halliday, Alyson Dunlop, James Welsh and Doctor Peter McCue.

“Brian Allen will be speaking about some of the best cases in ethology and some of the best low-level close proximity UFO sightings, which a lot of people presume to be of an alien variety, for want of a better word," Malcolm said.

“Brian is saying 'no', we should look at it in a new light and maybe it's our own technology. It could be our own stuff, 95% of all UFO reports can be identified. It's only the small 5% we just can't explain at this time. 

“Ron Halliday is going to be speaking about UFOs and fairy abductions and physic clairvoyant Ewan Irvine who is going to speak to the audience about what it is like to be a clairvoyant, what it's like to have this gift that he can reach the other side and communicate with people who have passed on.

“Dr Peter McCue will speak about what we call ‘hotspots’ or ‘window areas’, this is certain locations throughout the world that tend to have these areas which seem to attract a higher concentration of paranormal events."

Ending the day with images to leave your mind intrigued, Malcolm will show his top ten ghost photographs and Bill Rooke will showcase an image of what is believed to have been a sighting of a fairy from York.

If you have any images of ghost sightings or UFOs you’d like to delve into, the panel will be available to take a look at any photographs on the day to help unearth the mysteries.

The full conference programme is available online and tickets for the conference are available for £10 per person with booking available by emailing Malcolm Robinson.
