Only a few days to go! Are you really going to miss Weird this year?

The world is full of the strange, mysterious and the unexplained. What are UFOs? What is the cause of paranormal activity? How did the Egyptians build their monuments and what happens after we die?


These are just some of the subjects being discussed at the Weird 11, a two day event held in Swindon, Wiltshire on the 17th and 18th of September.

Weird has established itself as a major national event and this year proudly presents some of the best known researchers and authors in the UK today. Some names you will recognise from TV documentaries and some from their best selling novels.

This line-up has been independently rated as the best line-up at any event in the UK this year , feedback Weird was very proud to receive.

All the way from Germany we have special guests who will be showing off their Hypgnagogic Light Machine as well as the unique and fantastic art from Step Shurman.

Weird 11 Speaker Profile : Andy Thomas

Andy Thomas - The Truth Agenda

In a thought-provoking presentation, Andy Thomas, author of the book The Truth Agenda, explores some of the most famous unexplained mysteries of recent history, finding unexpected linking threads between them. What is the truth about UFOs, pyramids, religious apparitions, psychic phenomena, visions of the future and ancient prophecies, and what is their connection to famous conspiracy theories concerning the Moon landings, 9/11 and claims that the world is secretly run by a powerful ruling elite?

Andy Thomas is a leading researcher into unexplained mysteries and author of many books, including the acclaimed ‘The Truth Agenda’ and ‘Vital Signs’, described by many as the definitive guide to the crop circle phenomenon. Andy widely writes and lectures and has made numerous radio and TV appearances.

Weird 11 Profiles: Malcolm Robinson

This year we are pleased to welcome back our 2010 host Malcolm Robinson. An established author and investigator in his own right and part of the editorial team of UFO Matrix, Malcolm has traveled the world giving talks and lectures. We are fortunate to have him back this year! 

Malcolm did a fantastic job as host of our conference last year and is will be a real pleasure to work with him again to put on the UK's best event of 2011 covering the Unexplained, UFOs and the Paranormal.

To our knowledge Malcolm was last in Swindon over a year ago when he gave a presentation on the Loch Ness Monster.  We had a fantastic night that evening which ended with a few beers being drunk if we remember correctly!

Anthony Peake Joins Weird 11

We are pleased to announce that Anthony will be joining us at Weird 11. 

Anthony Peake grew up on the Wirral, near Liverpool. He was educated at Wirral Grammar School, Warwick University and the London School of Economics. He is a member of the International Association for the Study of Dreams, The Scientific & Medical Network and the Society for Psychical Research. In January 2011 he was offered, and accepted, a research fellowship at the Giordano Bruno Global Shift University. He has also recently been listed as one of the 200 “Visionaries” for the 21st Century. On 27th October 2011 his much anticipated third book, Out of the Body Experiences: The History and Science of Astral Travel will be published. With a preface written by Nobel Prize nominated Professor Ervin Laszlo this book will present his intriguing new hypothesis regarding the nature and function of the out-of-body experience.


Talk Synopsis

The Out-of-Body Experience - A New Explanatory Model of Astral Travel &, Lucid Dreaming

This will be the first ever public lecture that Anthony will be giving on his new book. In it he will present a paradigm-changing model that attempts to explain exactly what is taking place during an “Ecsomatic Experience”. Drawing upon the latest findings in the fields of quantum physics, neurology and neurochemistry In the preface to Anthony’s book Professor Ervin Laszlo writes:

“Anthony Peake has written the most incredibly lucid and comprehensive book on the most incredibly complex and mysterious subject. This book should be read – read by everyone who has ever asked herself or himself whether what we perceive in the everyday world is really that world. And whether there are perceptions that are entirely beyond that world. He brings us closer to understanding the mystery of the real world, and of the many ways that we can apprehend it. This is what this book is all about. It is about a great deal, as much or more than any book I have ever read. Reading it is a mind-expanding experience that must not be missed.”

Be among the first to hear exactly why Professor Laszlo feels motivated to write such a comment.

We will be removing the film 'The Stone' from our line-up.  The website and ticket information will be updated over the next 24 hours.
