The Last Crown - Explores Psychometry & The Detective.

A new year! Brand, spanking new. Hurrah! With a New Year comes a few updates, changes and announcements. So, without further ado, here's the news, from me and Darkling Room. I've launched a proper mini-site for The Last Crown - Haunting of Hallowed Isle, in anticipation of an Easter release, this year. Sorry for disappointing, in 2010. Pretty much everyone knows how release dates get moved around; put back, shunted about, abused, ignored, tortured, rubbished….but, the games do appear on store shelves. Sooner, rather than later…I hope. In the meantime, I've created a mini-adventure to explore the world of… But, what is Psychometry? How does it work? And…is it a load of old cobblers? What is Psychometry? - Psychometry, also known as token-object reading, is a form of extra-sensory perception characterised by the claimed ability to make relevant associations from an object of unknown history by making physical contact with that object. Supporters assert that an object may ha...

Saxton: Up for sale!

-- After several months of mystery, the fate of Saxton’s ‘Harbour Cottage’, (home to ghost-hunter Nigel Danvers in The Lost Crown) has been revealed. Studio Cottage, Polperro, is up for sale. For anyone that may be interested in viewing the place, I’ll mention that the interior of the cottage bears no resemblance to the fictional ‘Harbour Cottage’, (which is probably a very good thing!). Instead, it’s actually a rather tiny holiday cottage, with frilly florals and orange pine furniture; so it really couldn’t be more different to the dank, dark and rather miserable cottage, experienced by Nigel, during his adventures. Click the image too see the 'sales' listing and interior photos. Warning: Floral fabric and pine furniture may be seen. I’m unsure how long the cottage will be available for, or whether the auction has come and gone, but if you’re in the area, and have a soft spot for Polperro’s most painted and photographed house, now is the time to make your move. While wandering...

Ghost Story or Fairy Folk - Boscastle - Cornwall

Thinking back to an incident at Boscastle. An encounter with something that I cannot explain. Back in 2017, Matt was busy digging up King Arthur at Tintagel ( http://shadowtorstudios.blogspot.com/2018/09/king-arthurs-britain-truth-unearthed.html ) which gave me an opportunity to explore more of the North Coast. It was high summer, so he drove up at 6am each morning. A full day to explore new and unknown surroundings. Boscastle was the usual drop off point. It's a charming little harbour village, in majestic surroundings, and boasts the very unusual 'Museum of Witchcraft'. Highly recommended if touring the area. The village is steeped in folklore and mystery, with a genuine witch buried near the church at Minster. The museum itself was brought into being by a self proclaimed Warlock, back in the groovy 1960's. So, it's a place that very much on the supernatural map of Cornwall. To the South, the Valency Valley is a very green, wooded valley, with a r...
