MEDIUM Craig Hamilton-Parker has triumphed in a psychometry
test set by a BBC TV programme, in which he was blindfolded
and taken to three mystery locations to psychometrise ancient
objects, writes Tony Ortzen.
Hampshire-based Craig took part in the "prove it"
test for the BBC's regional programme "Inside Out."
On its website, the BBC says: "With remarkable success,
Craig is able to 'feel' the history of an object by holding,
touching or just looking at it.
"Craig also claims to have spoken to Princess Diana
from beyond the grave. 'Inside Out' presenter Chris Packham
was intrigued and decided to set a test.
"Is it possible that memories of the past can be embedded
into objects or locations?"
Could Craig "correctly detect the history and owners
of three mystery items when taken to their locations by car?"
To make it harder, "Craig was blindfolded for the entire
journey, ensuring that the location was as much a mystery
as the item itself.
"With experts on hand to verify his findings, Craig
was under pressure to prove his psychic powers."
The first item the clairvoyant was asked to psychometrise
was a violin owned by Dorset based author Thomas Hardy in
the late 1880's.
As he was blindfolded, Craig had no idea he was in Max gate,
Hardy's home, near Dorchester.
The violin is now on display at Max Gate. Thomas Hardy was
taught to play by his father and played the instrument for
fun at local dances.
The website explains: "Craig correctly identified the
owner as an author, and came up with several possible names
including Thomas Hardy.
"He also stated that the instrument was played for fun."
The second item was much older. An aestel housed in Salisbury
Museum, it would have held an ivory pointer and was used to
follow words on a manuscript, particularly a bible.
The aestel Craig was asked to psychomerise is over 1,000
years old, dating from Anglo-Saxon times. It may be one of
several which were commissioned by King Alfred.
"Craig," says the website "identified the
object as a pointer and correctly picked up on the male connection.
The third and final item has a more grisly history.
The medium was asked to see what he could psychically locate
from a clay death mask cast from the head of a murderer names
Jonah Deathridge. He was hanged in Dorchester prison in 1869.

The website explains that at the time, "it was thought
that the bumps on a person's head could reveal their character,
and the practice of phrenology (feeling the bumps) became
popular.
"This particular clay head was used as a test piece
for training phrenologists!"
Craig struggles at first, wrongly thinking that the head
was female. Then he correctly stated that a murder was involved
and that the piece is the death mast of a man."
After the programme, Craig took part in a psychic web chat.
He is now writing a book about psychometry
and mediumship.
Craig told PN: "Many leading archaeologists have been
attuned to the idea that places and relics may retain memories
of the past.
"Major historic discoveries are often found not through
systematic excavation, but because of a hunch.
"Something leads the seeker to dig in a particular place
and great treasures are unearthed."
Craig cited how Edgar Chapel at Glastonbury Abbey, Somerset,
"was discovered using clairvoyance.
"Similarly, a number of archaeologists have used psychics
in their digs with considerable success."
Dr Norman Emerson of the University of Toronto "reported
being assisted by the businessman names George McMullen, who
had a sharp talent for locating ruins and reconstructing their
associated history."
