Across the United Kingdom lie places where memory lingers, events repeat, and the boundaries between past and present grow thin. The Teignmouth & Shaldon Society for the Study of Atmospheric and Spatial Anomalies was established to investigate these sites of disruption and to provide researchers, scholars, and the public with the tools to document them.

We combine rigorous fieldwork with an openness to the unexplained. Our methods draw on psychology, folklore, spatial analysis, and the lived experiences of those who encounter what cannot be easily explained.

Teignmouth and Shaldon form a uniquely active area for this research, with a long history of reported anomalies: witnesses have described apparitions along the seafront, lights in the sky over the river, intense episodes of déjà vu, and other disturbances that suggest this stretch of coast holds an unusual concentration of memory phenomena.

Our latest tool, the Anomalies app, is designed to guide exploration of memory-rich sites, enabling both professional researchers and curious explorers to record and interpret anomalous phenomena.

What might you encounter?

- Sudden shifts in atmosphere, as if the air itself recalls.
- Distortions in sound, vision, or sensation.
- Emotional impressions that do not belong to you.
- Glimpses of events unresolved, recurring like a loop.

Some describe these experiences as hauntings, others as psychological echoes. We regard them as data.

The anomalies are unpredictable, but never meaningless. Each is a fragment of human experience, preserved in place, waiting to be found.
