Ghosts are real, that much I know. I have seen them all my life…

Some remain tethered to a patch of land, a time and date, the spilling of blood, a terrible crime. There are others, others that hold onto an emotion, a drive, loss, revenge, or love. Those, they never go away.”

— Edith, “Crimson Peak”, Guillermo del Toro and Matthew Robbins

Background

Helena B. Scott is a writer, historian, Jungian and linguist who speaks several languages. She is also a mental and light trance medium, psychic investigator, and wellness/ spirituality coach and speaker. As an intuitive, eclectic and adventurous professional that has travelled extensively, which has allowed her to learn languages and appreciate world cultures. Helena knows how to listen to the land of magical mindscapes and works in secret history, specialising in Norse and Medieval history (more specifically, the Knights Templar) but but also aspects of ancient Egypt, Mesopotamia & Sumeria, drawing from her knowledge in the fields of archaeology, anthropology, religion and philosophy (especially Gnosticism), ancient energies, and sacred geography (including ley lines), esoteric architecture and symbolism (including marks and medieval graffiti), literature/art history, mythopoetics, the mysteries (Western Esoteric Tradition), the supernatural, Jungian psychology and spirituality/wellbeing. As part of her own wellbeing and healing offering, Helena also works with Ocean Therapy (Blue Mind concept) due to her profound connection with the seas, having been immersed in them swimming before she could walk and sailing semi-professionally but also as PADI licensed scuba diver for over 2 decades, with some underwater archaeology experience and as a marine conservationist, previously volunteering and working with sharks as a member of the executive board of former Iberian Shark and Stingray Association (AITYR, from its Spanish initials).

Although most of her past investigations and work have been of a private nature, in 2018 Helena published her major study to date (a factual revisionist account and interactive occult book on Ireland’s most haunted house), Loftus The Hall of Dreams, which featured striking photography by Steve Meyler (New Scotland Yard’s Crime Academy former head of forensic photography). Working in a similar manner to a crime-scene investigation, it is written like a Gothic story as a tribute to Ireland’s great Gothic writers and the time period the original ghost story can be traced back to. However, although some parts may read like fiction, this unique and interactive occult “little” black book is supported by meticulous historical and psychical research.

Helena has been featured in many leading Podcasts worldwide like Psychic Matters and holds a wide variety of online and in-person live talks & workshops. She is also a guest writer for various online and print publications including on haunted public history as in Spooky Isles. Helena was one of 8 speakers at Ireland’s first Paranormal Convention in Feb 2023 (Day of Unexplained) and the 2024 Covenant of the Waters; she will also be a speaker at the upcoming 2024 Ancestral Pathways Conference in addition to lecturing at the London College of Psychic Studies and at various locations throughout Europe.
