Just a heads up on an upcoming conference in Edinburgh next month. Entitled "The Scholarly Research of the Anomalous Conference", it will be held at The Counting House, 36 West Nicholson Street, Edinburgh EH8 9DD on Saturday, 21st February, 2015 from 1130 to 1830. Scheduled speakers and subjects are as follows:
Mike Dash – Our Artist Pictures What the Witness Saw…
Roger Musson – The Enigmatic Bala Earthquake of 23 January 1974
Darren Naish – The Evolution of Sea Monsters in Terms of What people Report
Theo Paijmans – The Nazi Flying Saucer Mythos
Charles Paxton – Eyewitness Testimony and Bigfoot at the Botanics
At the end of the event there will be a panel session featuring all five speakers and the chairman will be Gordon Rutter.
Tickets cost £20 and include a buffet lunch and can be bought by submitting a Paypal payment to Charles Paxton at cgp2@st-andrews.ac.uk
for £20. No tickets will be issued so bring your Paypal receipt on the
day, tickets are also available in person from the organisers, Charles
Paxton and Gordon Rutter, and at meetings of the Edinburgh Fortean
Society.
More details can be found here. I aim to be there myself and hope to meet up with long time email-acquaintance, Mike Dash. Though it is not an explicitly Nessie conference, there will be overlaps with the lake cryptids which should prove information to that genre.
