We are more than just a group
Welcome to Luton Paranormal Society
LPS is offering a yearly membership of just £25 donation to those of you in interested the paranormal and want to investigate all aspects of the paranormal not just ghosts.
Here at LPS We investigate the whole paranormal spectrum from UFO’S and crop circles to Big Foot and Aliens, Timeslips, re-incarnation and out of the body experiences, Telekinesis and lastly spirits. This includes serious historical research of locations to back up paranormal activity we find.
LPS does not provide you with paranormal equipment as we all have different abilities and skills, and we encourage you to bring equipment or just yourself and a note pad or sound recorder to take notes as we do written reports.
Membership runs for one year from the point of joining and you are not obliged to attend all events. We undertake a number of indoor and outdoor investigations throughout the year.
If you are interested in membership please email lutonparanormal@gmail.com thank you

“Polterpod” is a name used for two different types of ghost-hunting devices. Whether they “work” depends on your definition: they successfully detect environmental changes (like radio signals or electromagnetic fields), but there is no scientific evidence that these changes are caused by ghosts.
Types of Polterpods
Spirit Box (Radio Scanner): The most common “Polterpod” (notably by the brand Paranologies) is a specialized spirit box.
How it works: It rapidly scans AM/FM radio frequencies to create “white noise”.
The theory: Believers suggest spirits can manipulate these audio fragments to form words.
Scientific view: Skeptics attribute “voices” to audio pareidolia (the brain finding patterns in random noise) and radio interference from actual broadcasts.
REM Pod (Proximity Sensor): Some generic listings use the term for REM Pods.
How it works: It generates its own small electromagnetic field around a telescopic antenna.
The theory: If anything conductive (theoretically a spirit) enters the field, the device beeps and lights up.
Scientific view: These are highly sensitive to man-made interference; for example, a walkie-talkie or a cell phone in the same building can trigger them from a distance. Expert & Critical Perspective
Scientific Validity: According to experts from the University of Warwick, while these devices measure real physical phenomena (like EMF), their link to the paranormal is an unproven hypothesis.
Novelty Status: The Skeptical Inquirer describes similar devices as “overpriced novelties” that provide no usable scientific data due to a lack of experimental controls during typical use.

Ghost Ship
The ‘ghost ship’ of the English Channel that ‘reappears every 50 years’ after all the crew were killed on it 300 years ago. The ill-fated ship set sail along the Thames, for the final destination of Oporto, Portugal, on February 13, 1748 – but was never to return.
Legend has it that the ship’s captain, Simon Peel, had just gotten married, and decided to take his ship out on a cruise to celebrate. Loved-up Simon took his new bride with him on the ride – kindly taking no heed to the longstanding nautical belief that bringing a woman on board in bad luck.
The ship set sail along the Thames, for the final destination of Oporto, Portugal, on February 13, 1748 – but was never to return.
Unknown to Simon, the ship’s first mate was also in love with his wife and was insanely jealous of the pair. Overwhelmed with rage, he intentionally steered the ship into the Goodwind Sands, an area infamous for causing ship wrecks. The Lady Lovibond was wrecked and sank – killing all those aboard.
The legend now goes that ever since that ill-fated day, the Lady Lovibond can be seen sailing the coastline around Kent every 50 years.
The legend began exactly fifty years to the day after the Lady Lovibond was destroyed, when the captain of ship Edenbridge recorded in his log that he had almost collided with a schooner with three masts – just like the Lady Lovibond.
The captain said that he heard sounds of a celebration coming from the ship as it wrecked – but when a rescue team was dispatched there was no sign of the ship or its passengers.
Another fifty years passed, and again on the 13th of February locals saw a three-masted schooner head toward the Sands – once again no wreckage was found.
In 1848 the same ship was reported to have been seen breaking up in the very same area with no shipwreck in sight.
The last report was filed in 1948 by Captain Bull Preswick, who was convinced he saw the Lady Lovibond surrounded by a green glow as it entered the Sands.
The folktales of the ghost ship have now garnered so much attention that many curious ghost-hunters made their way to the Sands in 1998 to try and catch a glimpse of the fabled ship – but were all disappointed when no ship appeared.
So what do you think? Real-life ghost ship or is there another answer?
If you fancy trying to spot the mysterious ship, we have only 24 years to wait before we can be sure of an LPS investigation at this location at sea….
