Folklore

Swindon-based educational charity Paranormal Site Investigators have produced a fundraising DVD called the 'Haunted Swindon Project'.

Throughout 2007 PSI has been co-operating with Swindon Borough Council on the project to promote the town's haunted heritage.

This DVD presents some of their findings so far. The DVD is introduced by noted parapsychologist Dr Simon Sherwood.

Locations

Findings from several locations are reported, including the Wyvern Theatre, Fire Station and Pinehurst Community Centre.

These behind-the-scenes features chronicle the reports of paranormal investigations at these sites.

The DVD includes a tour through Haunted Old Town, stopping at Lawn, Devizes Road, the Arts Centre and elsewhere to examine their history and tales paranormal activity.

Haunted Highworth

Following this is a trip around Haunted Highworth, with highlights including Sally's Cafe, the King and Queen, the Highworth Tunnels and Pentylands lane.

Investigation

The DVD concludes with footage from a scientific and rational ghost investigation of a local 'haunted' building. The reality of paranormal investigation should be a refreshing change from the entertainment programs seen on TV.
