Hello, I'm Wynne Thornley. In life, I am a Canadian Esoteric Teacher, and Author. I am also a supernatural nerd. My interest with the unknown began when I was a kid, due to having my own misunderstood psychic experiences. My life long study of the strange and unusual has prepared me for the work I am called to do now; taking me places other lightworkers won’t go. This has taught me about how many fallacies the masses still believe about the paranormal. The Dark Side of Lightwork is my effort to begin taking the Hollywood out of the world of the supernatural, paranormal and mystical.

    The Whaley House; A Case Study into Residual Hauntings

    In today’s episode, I will be exploring the idea of residual energy, natural earth energies and how this combination can influence what become known as hauntedplaces. I will be using one of the most talked about houses in The United States as a case study. This house has officially been crowned the most haunted house in America. Not only by public opinion, but also by the California Chamberof Commerce.

    Water Babies of Cannon Beach with a Side of The Bandage Man

    Back in September of 2024, a friend tag me in the commentssection of an Instagram Reel with the comment quote “Have you heard of this?? Sounds gnarly” unquote and I was immediately intrigued. The reel was creepy, dark, unsettling and it had my Spideysenses tingling. Due to my obsession with all things strange and unusual, there are very few urban legends or local haunts that I have not heard about. But they are out there. So, when something like this reel comes into my consciousness, I am drawn to find out more. In today’s episode, I am going to deep dive into an urbantale that is finding its ways out of the corners of the internet and into our collective hive mind. Have you heard of the Water Babies of Cannon Beach? And what do you know about The Bandage Man of Highway 101?

    In this episode, I am going to explore the second half of Harry Houdini’s life mission.

    The Scole Experiment into Physical Mediumship Part Two - The Scole Report

    In Part Two of my three part exploration of the Scole Experimental Group, I will be sharing what I have learned about The Scole Report. A lengthy case study documenting two years of sessions taking place within the Scole Hole. This report was complied and organized by members of one of the oldest paranormal investigative societies in the UK. The Society of Psychical Research. Let’s dive into what this group had to say about whether or not The Foy’s, Bennett’s and other members in the Scole Group are 100% legit or just modern day charlatans. https://www.patreon.com/thedarksideoflightwork The Dark Side of Lightwork Podcast and Haunted Field Trips Books I found Useful: The Scole Experiment by Soloman The Scole Report by Keen, Fontana and Ellison Links to Consider: https://www.spr.ac.uk/ https://www.thescoleexperiment.com/about-us.html https://youtu.be/rilwt41Ir8s https://soundofheart.org/galacticfreepress/type-post/montague-keen https://psi-encyclopedia.spr.ac.uk/articles/david-fontana#Books https://psi-encyclopedia.spr.ac.uk/articles/arthur-ellison Music Credits: Myst on the Moor by Kevin MacLeod Link: https://incompetech.filmmusic.io/song/4104-myst-on-the-moor License: http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ Ghost Story by Kevin MacLeod Link: https://incompetech.filmmusic.io/song/3805-ghost-story License: http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ March of the Mind by Kevin MacLeod Link: https://incompetech.filmmusic.io/song/4020-march-of-the-mind License: https://filmmusic.io/standard-license Cryptic Sorrow by Kevin MacLeod Link: https://incompetech.filmmusic.io/song/3568-cryptic-sorrow License: http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ Sovereign by Kevin MacLeod Link: https://incompetech.filmmusic.io/song/4397-sovereign License: http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/
