A Life of Ley Hunting

1977

Experiments Byfleet Church 10th May 1977
Took large jar taken on ley walk but with new leakproof cork; small jar with pointed nylon rod in place of copper wires (to test whether tingle is electric current or vibration). Also some quartz pebbles set in polystyrene blocks.

No reaction on any pebble blocks.

Jars:
Jar with copper wires:
Jar held left hand, tested with right: no reaction
Jar held right, tested left: slight reaction

Jar with nylon rod
Jar held left, tested right: slight reaction.
Jar held right, tested left: stronger reaction.

Conclusion: the tingling seems to be a mechanical vibration with body polarity important. In other words, free energy converted to mechanical energy.

Experiment in top bedroom (loft conversion) facing St. Augustine's on midsummer sunrise ley 16th May 1977.
Set up cone on cardboard supports with fibreboard base and jar with Cu wires upside down on base under cone.

1st test - no reaction
2nd test - appreciable reaction, not strong.
3rd test - less reaction.
4th test - no reaction.
5th test - leaving a while longer, neary sunset - very slight reaction

Conclusion: suggests effect builds up in crystals, as noticed before. No reaction in room of jar without cone - suggests cone focussing idea valid.

3 types of free energy machine
It would seem from observations and experiment that there are three basic types of free energy machine:

1 Indicator/user: This category includes all my indicator devices, tingle stones, ghost manifestations (or device to simulate same), or any devices to convert free energy to heat, light or other usable energy.

2 Focusser: This includes cones, pyramids and Reich accumulators. They focus the energy but do not boost it - it is at the expense of the external environment.

3 Booster: The only example I know is the stone circle/wood circle system (possibly also the deLand installation. These boost the energy by introducing energy from outside - solar, wind or water.

Conclusion: If we are to use free energy it is obviously vital to realise we have to boost it by a quasi-megalithic system of some kind, or we will dangerously lower the energy which is essential for all life processes.

Findings at Warwick August 1977
When I heard that my first Open University summer school was to be at Warwick University, near Coventry, I envisaged a dreary, urban scene. Nothing, however, could have been further from the truth. The campus was bounded on one side by Gibbet Hill Lane (no doubt giving the alarming-sounding name of Gibbet House to the accommodation block where I stayed!) This runs from wooded Gibbet Hill crossroads to Kirby Corner, where it again meets a main road. Its other boundary is a small stream, and views of peaceful farmland can be seen from many points. Nearby is a large hilltop plantation of trees which I came to find was called Old Brickyard Plantation, and which I first mistook for a hilltop clump.

In the Open University, summer schools are compulsory for courses which incorporate them, so -on Saturday, 6th August 1977 I arrived at Warwick University for the school associated with the social sciences foundation course, Making Sense of Society. The week proved interesting in many ways. The three academic modules - Sex and Gender in Society, Housing in Coventry and the Simulation of an International Situation - brought many strands of study together into a meaningful whole. But I also had time to pursue my other interest - that of ley hunting - and some remarkable things were to emerge.

On Sunday morning, before the academic work began, I took a walk to Kirby Corner, past Old Brickyard Plantation. There was a rise a little further on that I was later to find spotmarked 62 feet on the Ordnance Survey map, and not far beyond this was the junction of Kirby Corner.

Before going to Warwick I had developed a ley-power detector to research in a relatively objective way into the mysterious energy that a number of people were beginning to associate with the system. It was fairly reliable, in that it gave a reaction at some points and not others, and the powerful points were usually those associated with leys. This detector, called the sandjar, consists of a small jar of dry sand containing fairly pure quartz crystals. Among the sand is a copper "cage, which emerges from the jar as a bundle of wires under the cork which stoppers it. The ends of the wires are pointed; if the jar is held in one hand to compress the cork, a light touch by the index finger of the other hand on the wire ends produces a tingling feeling at powerful places. This was originally thought to be a piezoelectric discharge, but evidence found at Warwick seems to imply that it is not so.

This jar was taken with me on all my walks at Warwick, and there was a moderate reaction at Kirby Corner junction but not at the stream which passed under the main road a short distance away. This started the idea of a possible ley passing through the junction.

After lunch, there was again some time to spare, so I walked up the road in the other direction, towards Gibbet Hill. It was here that I found the most important find of the week - a weathered, marked stone that had an Ordnance Survey arrowmark cut into it. On this occasion and later I received an appreciable tingle when touching the stone with my palm. It is one of only two stones I have visited which gave me this reaction - the other being the celebrated Hart Stone in County Durham. It could from its size and general shape be a milestone (and is marked as such on the new 1:50000 map) but it is much rougher than most and has no lettering or other sign except the arrowmark. It is interesting that several of the houses leading up to Gibbet Hill have tiny ornamental rough-hewn stones outside, but none gave the reaction of the old one. Subconscious siting moves in mysterious ways!

On Monday morning before breakfast I found quite a strong jar-reaction in my room, and determined to find out if there was a ley crossing the campus. I had to do my own cartography because, though it seems incredible now, money was so tight at that time that I could not afford to buy the Ordnance Survey map. So in the lunch break I visited the university bookshop armed with a piece of toilet paper (!!), and, crouching between the shelves, surreptitiously traced the relevant part from a map there! From this, that evening, with the aid of the campus plan in the summex school booklet, I found the alignment - the very first tc have been found originally from energy reactions.

Unfortunately, the campus was near an edge of the O.S. map, but I was able to get the road drawn fairly accurately and noted two other points outside it - a junction of two tracks and a road near Hockley, and a towered church near Pinketts Booth. Coming in a north-westerly direction on to the campus, the line goes through Gibbet Hill crossroads and stone, passes through Tocil Wood to a minor road bridge over the stream (jar-reaction), passes a little south-west of the library, through the 82 ft. spotmark to Kirby Corner (jar-reaction) and from there to the two other points mentioned. Not all the powerful places were on it, but enough to make it very interesting.

Tuesday and Wednesday lunchtimes were spent in the library, a towering five-storey building on a small hill, which was interesting with regard to energy as there were strong jar-reactions (and head-hum - a reaction to powerful points which had led me to try and develop the detector) on the upper floors but not the ground floor. This suggests an overground as described by Tom Graves. It is about fifty yards from the ley found, but in its position with regard to the river its placing is similar to the Rudston monolith and the Queen Stone near Symonds Yat in Herefordshire.

In the library I discovered a 25" to the mile 1925 map of the campus area. Of course, it was all fields, but Old Brickyard Plantation and Tocil Wood were there, as was Gibbet Hill Road (called Tocil Road on the map). The position of the library was presumably a hill then as now, as it was marked as a tiny circular parcel of land, .220 acre. The map was O.S. Warwickshire Sht XXVI.2, 1925 edition, Warwick and Leamington edition.

On Wednesday, I wrote a letter to one of the tutors of the Sex and Gender module who had seemed open-minded, suggesting an experiment, not specifying its nature. I wanted to test the jar reaction independently, and the library was the strongest place. The reply came that Thursday lunchtime might be best. Thursday morning dawned, and I tested the jar in my room. Nothing! I was very worried - there was obviously a rogue variable here. But I had committed myself and there was nothing I could do but hope. Lunchtime came and the tutor and I ascended to the library's third floor. Could he feel anything on the wires? He shook his head, looking rather puzzled. We both tried it several times, always with the same result. He was quite polite as we walked down, but it was obvious that he wanted nothing to do with such things. I returned to my room in misery, even doubting my own previous reactions. I looked down at my hands - they were sweating.

Suddenly my heart seemed to miss a beat. That was it! I quickly crossed to the sink and washed my hands and dried them. I picked up the jar, stood by the window, and there was the reaction as strong as ever! The rogue variable was sweat, caused no doubt by emotional reaction to the situation. This had important implications - it meant that the tingle was not electrical - in that case, sweat would have increased it, as in the lie detector and biofeedback devices. It was a physical vibration.

I did not return to the tutor of course, but I did confide in a fellow student, Tim Murphy, and that evening we went down to the minor road bridge by Tocil Wood that the ley passes through. He could only feel a slight heat, however, though I got a reaction. We had an enjoyable chat about leys afterwards.

Friday, the last day of the summer school, was mainly taken up with a coach trip round Coventry - in connection with the housing module. In the lunch break we elected to go round as a group and had our packed lunch in the ruins of the old Cathedral. Here I again received reactions from the jar which were at last confirmed by a fellow student; also in nearby Holy Trinity church In the new Cathedral (particularly the Chapel of Unity) there were reactions, but these gradually got less as I approached the high altar (and moved further from the old cathedral). There was no reaction at the point our coach left us, which I used as a control.

After we returned from the trip, all that was left was the collection of registration certificates and everyone went their different ways - the unique, fragile community of summer school disinitegrated and the brief friendships made ended. But my week in Warwick is certainly one which I will never forget. It was the first of several visitsto university campuses that have built up a picture of th~ strange association of leys with these most modern of man's creations.

Main findings were:

1 that sweat on hands cuts down reaction from jar (or sensitivity to it). Further confirmation that effect is physical vibration as electrical discharge would be increased by sweat (as relaxometer, lie detector, etc.)

2 Confirmation of Tom Graves' concept of energy lines at different levels. Energy in library only on upper floors. Confirmed again on return home when found energy in girls' bedroom much greater than in our room, and almost non-existent in dining room (all same location geographically).

September 1977 - Attempt to find if there is any temperature change
Coffee jar filled with Wisley sand, corked, with thermometer in sand with scale protruding through cork. No temperature change registered on thermometer even though vibration felt on top (showing free energy present - done in girls' room). Another evidence for the effect not being electrical (felt from glass thermometer).

Further evidence for free energy being a life force: reaction from the jar close to forehead in dining room, where no reaction when jar held normally.

Jar would not seem to operate properly (hardly at all) when a screwtop (plastic) was used to compress the polystyrene top (which replaced cork for this experiment). Normal reaction (girls' room and forehead) when fingers compressed polystyrene.

Member's Hill (Brooklands, Weybridge) Survey September 1977
On a brief survey of Member's Hill (B.A.C. Brooklands) with jar (cork and copper wires) the most powerful spot was found to be on the brow of the hill, dying away fairly rapidly as one left that point. This seems to show the jar could be used to make energy contour maps, even though the results would not be quantifiable with the present apparatus. It would be interesting to do a thorough survey of Beverley Minster and Coventry Cathedral.

In the girls' room, tested jar (thermometer) with me pressing the cork and Doris testing jar reaction. She received one, which disproves the theory put forward at summer school that it is possibly a reaction to muscular tension in one hand.

Tested thermometer jar with copper wire jar in the girls' room to see which was more sensitive - the thermometer jar considerably more so, and even gave a (smaller) reaction in the downstairs room underneath the girls' room (dining room).

When the jar was partly emptied the reaction was still appreciable, but none when completely emptied. Hypothetical explanation for partly-emptied jar reaction: pressure of air increased when jar cork pressed even though not in contact with sand.

Attempts at contour mapping
Attempts in this area very difficult as general area not powerful, but some interesting results:

Woburn Hill: (thermometer jar) Reaction at bottom by end of roundabout, fading to nothing in 3 x 4 stride readings as ascended. No further reactions to summit, but as descended cold numbed fingers.
Walton Church: (copper jar) Very much less powerful than expected (tested around 3.00 - 3.30). Pockets of mild energy - long pockets each side of the chancel, ending in more powerful spots under the chancel arch. Fairly powerful in vestry door porch and south side of main porch, also interesting alignment of points in nave, seeming to point to Stoke D'Abernon Church, and run along Fairmile, but not much else.
Shepperton High Street: (copper jar) Had subliminal (just on limit of perception) reaction from Post Office to Mere Road, but no reaction in road or house. Dangerous? Often had muzzy head there.
BAC office (copper jar) Had appreciable reaction in all parts (acting as a mild Reich accumulator with brick walls and metal partitions drawing power from St. George's Hill?) After going all round office effect seemed to fade and felt slight muzziness, but this could have been central heating. Took several hours for reaction to come to strength again. Shows jars do use energy, but do not attract it as focussers do.

A further theory on the stone circle system
Since presumably to boost the weak earth current it is necessary to introduce energy from outside, the theory is that this energy is generally sound. This fits in largely with the previous theory.

Running water and wind both emit sound, and this applies also to fire, so beacons could be part of the picture. The emission of physical vibration from stones and sandjars also supports this - it is a simple reversal to put sound into the system to get free energy out, thus:

Reversed Reich accumulators
Duggleby Howe and Silbury Hill both appear to be reversed Reich accumulators - chalk=organic inside clay=inorganic outside - thus possible radiators of energy generated elsewhere by sound and transmitted by the ley.

Rationale of cone effect
Reich says metals absorb and then rapidly repel orgone energy. Thus a sheet of metal will radiate equally each side, but a cone or pyramid will have a resultant flow downwards.

Rationale of De Land installation
Wind blows over the galvanised iron mast producing tone as when blowing over milk bottle top. Vibration causes quartz in concrete (sand and cement - quartz and organic) to emit free energy - this is absorbed by the mast and repelled in pulses. It is picked up by the copper wire and transmitted through the soil. Magnets' effect not certain, but seemingly energy transmitted aerially to top of copper wires on mast.
