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

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

Incubus will manifest in the New Year, after a trip to investigate the Pontefract Poltergeist!

My next game Incubus* will be on hold, until the New Year. In a crazy twist, the house that inspired the game (alongside Enfield Poltergeist) is our next work gig. The idea of using 360 captures in real locations and adding realistic phenomena kind of generated a lot of interest in certain circles, which both me and Shadow Tor are pleased about. I won’t lie, it’s a really nifty idea. We have been doing it for a big Ghost TV team too, so it’s all kind of snowballing. Interest in the paranormal is up, globally. So, a likely freezing 24 hours will be spent at the home of the Pontefract Poltergeist, the dreaded 30 East Drive, known also for the ‘Black Monk of Pontefract’. Worth a Google, or watch the movie ‘When the lights go out’, link below. http://www.30eastdrive.com/house-photos/ Having researched the place for the last week, it strikes me as an obvious case, in terms of rational explanations. Very much like Enfield. But I’m keeping an open mind. The phenomena at the
