Meetings for the foreseeable future

The SSPR usually meets, in person, at Theosophy House, 17 Queens Crescent, Glasgow G4 9BL on the 3rd Thursday of the month at 7.30pm. For those who can’t attend in person, we livestream our meetings on the online conferencing platform Zoom. (Members and Visitors will be sent a link).

Sometimes we hold our meetings at alternative venues, e.g. Glasgow Association of Spiritualists, Somerset Place or Glasgow University. And sometimes we are unable to meet in person at all: due to Covid and/or being short on volunteers to run our meetings or speakers having to present from home. In these circumstances, we will hold our meetings online. Although we would prefer to always meet in person, this may not always be possible.

Please always check this website or read your emails from us (sign up to our Newsletter) to ensure you’re going to a meeting that is a) definitely taking place and b) being held in the venue you think it is! 

Also, when we do meet in person, we ask attendees to consider the following: 

• The Coronavirus is still out there. We will endeavour to ensure some ventilation in our meeting places. Those that wish to wear a mask will be most welcome. Mask wearing is not compulsory. 
• What is compulsory is that if you’re not feeling well, e.g. have a cough, fever, headaches or a sore throat: stay home and get well! Even if you think it isn’t Covid, it could be. Please stay home and join us online. 

For updates,  here on our website and also on our page and group on Facebook. 

Whether, or wherever we meet, we will always endeavour to hold a meeting online. For those wanting to join us on Zoom : you do not need the app as you can access the video link via your browser (if we email you the link, just follow the link) – but the app is free to download. If you install the app, you will still need to click on the link we will email you (if you have joined as a member, or bought a ticket for a specific presentation). 

If you are a member, all our online presentations are free – as will be our face-to-face meetings.

Non-Members/Visitors will need to pay £5 per presentation to access the link.  

2024 – 2025 Programme

‘EVP Experiments as Alchemical Theatre’

Kachine Moore

Thursday the 19th of September 2024

at Theosophy House & Livestreamed on Zoom

Kachine Moore

EVP experimentations reflect an experienced reality. They double as both attempts to contact the supernatural through enhancing psychic ability utilizing radios and divination through sonically artistic performance, provoking an initiation into the mythos of the phenomena. Modern EVP experiments on film, such as the ones on Plant Weird’s web series Hellier (2019), have expanded on previous incarnations of voices from beyond and evoke a kind of alchemical theater theorized by Antonin Artaud in his book The Theater and its Double. The allusion to the material or, in this case, consciously immaterial in EVP experiments, like alchemy and theater, are expressions of a point of view or transformative belief system that has a causal effect in the world. The ‘virtual art’ of EVP experiments such as the Estes Method and the creation of ritual tones parallel avant-garde sound art made from the 1950s to the 1980s and demonstrate their unique interdisciplinary yet transcendental theatrical ability to direct the narrative of investigations and the consciousness of its spectators.

Bio- Kachine Moore is a current Ph.D. student of occult cinemas in the Film and TV department at the University of Glasgow and holds an MA in Cinema Studies from New York University. They are the creator of Cinematic-Grimoire, a digital archive of magician and occultist contributions to cinema, and co-founder and programmer of Match Cuts Presents, a screening series in New York City (2016-2020).

‘A Cultural History of UFOs in Scotland’

Dr Gavin Miller

Thursday the 21st of November 2024

at Theosophy House & Livestreamed on Zoom

Flying saucers, UFOs, and now UAPs have been part of Scottish cultural life since the early 1950s. Leaving aside the question of extraordinary explanations for UFOs, this talk traces a history of Scottish UFOs from the Cold War to the Bonnybridge Triangle. It looks at the different ways in which people have experienced, understood, and made use of UFOs, and the wider histories into which these stories are woven.

Dr Gavin Miller is Reader in Contemporary Literature and Medical Humanities at the University of Glasgow. Alongside the history and culture of UFOs, his research interests include science fiction, the history of the psychological disciplines, and the history of Penguin Books.

Presentation begins at 19:30 GMT (+1 BST) and will last up until 21:30 (including Q & A).

‘Witchcraft & Demoniac Children’ Lorraine Murray Thursday the 19th of December 2024, 7.30pm ON ZOOM ONLY

During 1563 until 1736, witchcraft was a criminal offence in Scotland, punishable by death for those found guilty. There were around 4,000 cases of witchcraft during this period, with women accounting for around 84% of the accused. The accusations were similar in most cases, but towards the end of the 17th century, children became prominent in this story. Find out more about the true stories of the ‘demoniac’ children and how their accusations caused two major witchcraft panics in Renfrewshire. Lorraine Murray is a professional Archivist, Historian and Independent Researcher with an interest in unusual stories and difficult histories. She has been researching historic witchcraft cases in Glasgow, Renfrewshire and Dunbartonshire for the last decade, and is in the process of writing a book about the accused of Inverclyde. The research has been shared widely through talks and an exhibition at The Watt Institution in Greenock during most of 2024. Lorraine’s blog / website wwww.archivisthistoryblog.wordpress.com

‘The State of the Universe/s, focusing on a few of the Constituent Parts.
(Warning: Might contain UFOs.)’

Peter Broughan

Thursday the 21st of September 2023

Peter Broughan (Right) with James Fox, Documentarian (Centre) and James Fox’s sister (Left)

Since 2017 the subject of UFOS /UAP has eventually and grudgingly been recognised as deserving of serious attention by the international mainstream media.
Highly credible and respected US military whistleblowers have related to an awestruck world their impossible experiences with unidentified craft displaying a level of technological abilities hugely greater than anything on earth.
In early June this year a decorated US war veteran and former high-level US military intelligence officer stepped forward with the biggest hand-grenade yet thrown in this field.
Dave Grusch declared that the US government and their industrial partners are in possession of at least 12 crashed craft originating from “non-human intelligence”. He also said that the keepers of the secrets had the bodies as well…
This talk will describe how we got to where we are now. It will also invite suggestions about what happens now, and where we might possibly be heading from this point on as a conflicted species ignoring our inevitable demise on our own dying planet.

‘The Best Evidence for Ghosts, Poltergeists and Haunting Phenomena: Why certain hauntings should be considered proven beyond reasonable doubt’

Alan Murdie, LL.B, Barrister

Thursday the 16th of November 2023

‘Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence’ is a popular soundbite often quoted by sceptics to justify rejecting reports of paranormal paranormal phenomena, especially claims of ghost and hauntings experiences occurring in the wider world and outside controlled laboratory conditions.

In this talk Alan Murdie argues that cogent evidence proving the reality of certain paranormal phenomena exists if a judicial approach is adopted towards the evidence gathered by psychical researchers. By applying the same standards of proof as would be used in a court room it will be found there is an abundance of data obtained by psychical researchers in certain cases of hauntings which should be considered not only evidential but probative to a high standard.

His conclusion is that in a number of modern cases of hauntings the occurrence of unexplained phenomena may be considered proven to a standard beyond reasonable doubt.

Alan Murdie LL.B, Barrister has investigated reports of hauntings in both the UK and abroad for many years. He is a member of the Council for the Society for Psychical Research and Chairman of the Ghost Club founded in 1862. He writes a monthly column ‘Ghostwatch’ for Fortean Times magazine.

‘Mediums in Cinema’

Icy Sedgwick

Thursday the 15th of February 2024

*ONLINE ONLY ON ZOOM*

Victorian Spiritualism offered women a tantalising glimpse of freedom through the financial earning power and social status provided to popular mediums. Indeed, while male mediums did exist and regularly toured Britain, it is the figure of the female medium that has characterised how we view these seance leaders in contemporary popular culture. Michelle Yeoh plays one such figure in the latest Poirot film, A Haunting in Venice. This talk will explore how the female medium has been represented in a selection of British films, including The Stone Tape, Quatermass & the Pit, and The Others.

The Presentation will be followed by a Q&A and an open discussion on how Mediums and Spiritualists are depicted in popular culture and how that impacts perceptions of mediumship and the paranormal. 

Icy is a folklore blogger and host of the Fabulous Folklore podcast, exploring a range of folklore and mythology, including its appearance in art and film. She’s also working on a PhD about haunted house films, examining the ways in which reading cinematic technology, such as sound design, impacts the representation of the haunting. When she tires of research, she writes dark fantasy and Gothic horror fiction.

Presentation begins at 19:30 GMT (+1 BST) and will last up until 21:30 (including Q & A).
