“If you have an ear for the past you can unravel the stories that are not set down in any history book.” - GEORGE CARTER

Across the British Isles, there are places where memories linger, events repeat, and the boundaries between past and present grow thin.
The IFPR 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 psychogeography, hauntological theory, and first-hand accounts gathered from participants in the field.
Our latest tool, the Anomalies Field Recorder (AFR), guides exploration of memory-rich sites and allows both professional researchers and curious explorers to record and interpret what they find there.
*****
WHAT MIGHT YOU ENCOUNTER?
o Intense episodes of déjà vu.
o Sudden shifts in atmosphere.
o Distortions in sound or vision.
o Emotional impressions that do not belong to you.
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.

WHO WE ARE LOOKING FOR
o Individuals with heightened emotional attunement to others and increased sensitivity to environmental and social cues.
o Those who process emotional information deeply and retain strong impressions of places.
o People who regularly experience déjà vécu, lucid dreams, or temporal dislocation.
o Anyone with a background or interest in psychology, folklore, architecture, or the history of place.

THE AFR IS CURRENTLY IN CLOSED TESTING.
We are working with a select group of researchers to refine the recorder before wider release. Check back soon for details of the public launch.
