My favourite episode of Ghost Cases.

Paul Kimball on Atlantic Filmmakers - 2010

For the third season in a row, the good folks at Eastlink TV's Atlantic Filmmakers were kind enough to invite me on the program to discuss filmmaking (and a whole host of other things).

Ghost Cases - St. Edith's Church episode

Here is an episode of Ghost Cases that I found the most interesting, and which still baffles me over a year later - an investigation of the cemetery and grounds of St. Edith's church in Shocklach, England with our good friends Dave Sadler and Steve Mera from the Unknown Phenomena Investigation Association. Some very strange things happened that evening back in May, 2009, that tested the limits of my skepticism.

Did we experience something paranormal? I can't say for sure. All that I can say is that it was definitely the weirdest night of investigation I've ever experienced. There was so much going on, and we had the opportunity to look for answers, i.e. a possible sound that could account for the horse's hooves that Holly and I heard, or a light source to account for the light that Steve observed, but we couldn't come up with anything. Of course, we also didn't obtain any hard evidence, such as audio or video recordings, of what we experienced.

So, the reasonable person might ask - what conclusions did I draw from all of this?

None, really. I can't explain what happened, nor can I prove it to someone who wasn't there. I'm not sure that I can even prove it to myself.

Is there a rational explanation for everything that happened? Perhaps. However, there's a part of me that says otherwise - a part of me that believes we may have actually encountered something truly anomalous that evening, perhaps even something paranormal.

I fully intend to return to Shocklach church, sooner rather than later, to spend some more time there, and see if the events of my first trip repeat themselves. As Dave Sadler said to me before we got there, it's a special place.

I couldn't agree more.

The New Light Experience of Henry Alline

Way back in 2000, we filmed a pilot for a series on Vision TV, about great Canadians of faith. I still think it was a wonderful idea, but we were just starting out as a production company, and we made some bad choices - like getting me to host it! We also had a very limited pilot-type budget. Still, I remain an admirer of Henry Alline, the subject of the pilot episode (the series was not picked up) to this day, and I'm proud of the writing in this pilot episode, which was based on my graduate studies in history. I've re-edited the original version in what is, I think, now a better film, and something closer to what I would have done if I could travel back in time with what I know now and do it again.

Incidentally, while I had a lot of great professors in college over the years, Dr. Moody was perhaps the one who influenced me the most. It was a pleasure to work with him years after I had graduated from Acadia.
