EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph, Alan and Iris Owen, renowned psychical researchers, are seen intently working in a dimly lit room, their faces illuminated by the soft glow of a lamp. Alan Robert George Owen (1919-2003), a mathematician, psychical researcher, and author, is known for his association with poltergeist investigation and the groundbreaking Philip Experiments in Toronto. His wife, Iris May (Pepper) Owen (1916-2009), is an integral part of his research, sharing his passion for unraveling the mysteries of the paranormal. The Owens' pioneering work in psychical research challenges conventional beliefs, suggesting that paranormal phenomena are not the result of the spirits of the deceased, but rather the powers of the human mind. Their equipment scattered around the room, including a Ouija board and a set of weighing scales, attests to their dedication to exploring the unknown. The image captures a moment of intense focus and collaboration between the couple, as they delve deeper into their investigation. The setting – a dimly lit room with a staircase in the background – adds an air of mystery and intrigue. The history of their work in parapsychology, particularly their research into poltergeist activity and the Philip Experiments, has left a lasting impact on the field, with their theories on psychokinesis and telekinesis continuing to be debated and explored by researchers and enthusiasts alike. This photograph offers a glimpse into the world of the Owens, a world where the boundaries between science and the paranormal blur, and where the human mind's capabilities are pushed to their limits. The image is a testament to their unwavering commitment to understanding the unexplained, and their belief that the answers lie within the power of the human mind.
