Have you ever heard a strange noise, footsteps, knocking, music, or voices that had no identifiable cause or source. Have you ever seen a flash of light, a fleeting image or person, an orb, a geometric shape and when you investigated where the experience came from there was no explanation the experience came from nowhere. 25% of people in the general population report unusual and unexplained experiences like these, and currently governments such as American are drafting legislation to investigate unusual sightings of unidentified flying objects reported by the public.

‘Unusual & Unexplained Experiences’ is the first survey of its kind carried out in Ireland. This important and anonymous survey has been created at the School of Psychology, University of Galway, by Margaret McGrogan. This survey is raising awareness and gaining insight into unusual & unexplained experiences.

In Ireland, we are known worldwide for our rich Irish folklore, healers, psychics, shamans, spiritual and paranormal locations. From Biddy Early, Co Clare, 1800, an Irish spiritualist, healer, herbalist, bean-feasta or wise woman. To Leap castle, where people have reported hearing unusual sounds, seen ghostly figures, smelt foul odors. Or the Hell Fire club Dublin where eerie experiences, such as feeling cold spots and sensing presences are reported. Or the supernatural, spiritual sighting of the virgin Mary and Saint Joseph by 15 people at knock in 1879, reported as ‘brighter than the moon’.

Many people in Ireland report hearing a voice, a noise, or seeing a fleeting image, a vibrant light, a person and when they looked the image was gone, or sensing a presence when nothing was there, or having a dream that was so real it felt like living real life events.

You are invited to share your personal experiences and thoughts anonymously on any Unusual & Unexplained Experiences you have had. The survey should take approximately 15-20 minutes to complete. If you have never had this type of experience this survey should take 3 minutes to complete.

This survey is anonymous and open to participants 18 years of age and over.

Thank you,

Margaret McGrogan.
