‘Ghost’ Takes 1st place

I announced the winner and runners-up at the Society for Psychical Research’s 41st Annual Conference on Friday, 1st September. For those of you who were unable to attend, here are the results:

1st Place: ‘Ghost’ by Alan O’Regan

2nd Place: Untitled by Laverne Craven

3rd Place was tied between ‘Sotiria’ by Jonathan Bright and ‘We’re Home’ by Mark Caldon

Thanks to all who took part – due to the high quality of entries, it was a difficult competition to judge – and to the judging panel.

There will be a full feature in the Paranormal Review with more about the competition and the winning entries.
