By Wynne ThornleyHistory
The Dark Side of Lightwork episodes
- The Hat Man; A Practitioners Origin Story
In this episode, we’re going back to the beginning. To themoment my mediumship shut down. To the time my spiritual gifts were almost lost. To the entity who became the catalyst for everything I now teach.
Across cultures, across centuries, across thousands ofdocumented experiences — we all all him by the same name:
The Hat Man.
Let me be transparent - This episode is not about creating fear. It’s about my awakening. It’s about the shadow that arrived in my world before the light. And it’s about the child who saw him… and the practitioner she eventually became.

19 min - The Whaley House; A Case Study into Residual Hauntings
In today’s episode, I will be exploring the idea of residual energy, natural earth energies and how this combination can influence what become known as hauntedplaces. I will be using one of the most talked about houses in The United States as a case study. This house has officially been crowned the most haunted house in America. Not only by public opinion, but also by the California Chamberof Commerce. Have you heard of The Whaley House?

49 min - Water Babies of Cannon Beach with a Side of The Bandage Man
Back in September of 2024, a friend tag me in the commentssection of an Instagram Reel with the comment quote “Have you heard of this?? Sounds gnarly” unquote and I was immediately intrigued.
The reel was creepy, dark, unsettling and it had my Spideysenses tingling.
Due to my obsession with all things strange and unusual, there are very few urban legends or local haunts that I have not heard about. But they are out there. So, when something like this reel comes into my consciousness, I am drawn to find out more.
In today’s episode, I am going to deep dive into an urbantale that is finding its ways out of the corners of the internet and into our collective hive mind.
Have you heard of the Water Babies of Cannon Beach?
And what do you know about The Bandage Man of Highway 101?

30 min - Necronomicon | Simonomicon - Dangerous Books
In the next few episodes of The Dark Side of Lightwork, I will offer a short series exploring some of the things from the paranormal world that piqued my curiosity, and scared me deeply at the same time.
The second topic in this series is about one of the first books I had ever heard of that came with dire warnings against its use. Best case scenario, you conjure a demon, worse case scenario, you die after reading it.
Have you heard of the Necronomicon?

25 min - The Scole Experiment into Physical Mediumship Part Two - The Scole ReportIn Part Two of my three part exploration of the Scole Experimental Group, I will be sharing what I have learned about The Scole Report.
A lengthy case study documenting two years of sessions taking place within the Scole Hole. This report was complied and organized by members of one of the oldest paranormal investigative societies in the UK. The Society of Psychical Research.
Let’s dive into what this group had to say about whether or not The Foy’s, Bennett’s and other members in the Scole Group are 100% legit or just modern day charlatans.

39 min - The Scole Experimental Group into Physical Mediumship PART ONE
In part one of a three part exploration, I am going to share what I have learned about The Scole Experimental Group. Toted as being one of the most successful investigations into the existence of life after death, The Scole Group has an intriguing case study into the world of physical mediumship that hadn’t openly been explored since the 1930’s. More than lights flickering or thumps on the walls, this group is said to have manifested a full bodied apparitions of the members of the spirit team they called the spirit scientists.

About The Dark Side of Lightwork
From the publisher's feed
Hello, I'm Wynne Thornley. In life, I am an Metaphysical Educator and Author. I am also a supernatural nerd. My interest with the unknown began when I was a kid, due to having my own misunderstood psychic experiences.
My life long study of the strange and unusual has prepared me for the work I am called to do now; taking me places other lightworkers won’t go. This has taught me about how many fallacies the masses still believe about the paranormal. The Dark Side of Lightwork is my effort to begin taking the Hollywood out of the world of the supernatural, paranormal and mystical.
