Project Albion is a long-running programme to document the geographic distribution of anomalous phenomena. It has been likened to a Domesday Book of the paranormal. A number of regional Albion books have appeared in the 'Strange ...' series. Most are, sadly, now out of print. However, material from the books has also appeared on the web. The books document the myths, legends and reports of paranormal and anomalous phenomena in a specific area. Much of this information would otherwise remain in obscure archives or even be lost forever. Many readers are suprised at the number of odd goings-on reported in their areas. It isn't just ghosts and UFOs. There are stories of dragons, black dogs and bizarre local traditions and festivals. Full practical details of what Project Albion is and how to do your own is given here. James Clark has written'Mysterious Mitcham' (a sequel to 'Strange Mitcham'), which is available freely online here. James has also written a new Albion book called 'Haunted Wandsworth'. For further details see here. You should take a look at Strange Croydon, even if you have no interest in the area, as it is one of only two complete Albion projects available on line (along with Mysterious Mitcham). A new online Albion project currently under construction is Haunted Swindon. Another ongoing Albion project is Strange Stroud. |
