Research Week - Spiritualist Church

Yesterday night I went to a spiritualist church in Finsbury Park that my friend found out. What they do in this church is to have a conversation with a medium, who can communicate with spirits. I asked the person in charge of this meeting if I could record and take photos of this practice but I was rejected. Still, I stayed to attend the meeting and was hoping for another new experience. It was definitely something new to me. It was not like what films look like. It was calm, peaceful but also very weird. Afterall, what the medium said and described seemed to be quite true

After the meeting I went up to the medium and asked if I could interview him and record his voice. He said yes. So for my research I recorded his voice and did a general interview with him. One thing that was truly inspiring was when I asked him if he had ever contacted with the dead before. He said, 'I wouldn't call them dead people. They are more alive than we are.'

That line just blown me away. I was thinking about it for the rest of the night. This was a very inspiring experience. I enjoyed it a lot. Even though I did not get to capture any presence of spirits (which is going to be very hard), I still learnt a bit more about the spiritual world. I think this is the closest first hand research that I can get, but I will see what else I can do to get a bit more information.
