THE LANTERN SOCIETY.

Some doors within the Edmund Cryer Archives are not open to everyone. The Lantern Society exists for those who wish to step beyond the public record.

What Is The Lantern Society?

For just £1.00 per month, you can become part of the private members' community within the world of The Edmund Cryer Journals. You can cancel at any time. The Lantern Society has been created for those who want to follow the investigations more closely, discuss the evidence and become part of an expanding archive rather than simply visit it.

Membership is designed to feel like entering another layer of the archive. Your account becomes your own doorway into the Society, where additional material, community features and member-only experiences can be discovered.

❦ Society recognition: Lantern Society members will see a special feather beside their name, showing other members that they are part of the Society.

The public case files will always remain at the heart of the site. The Lantern Society simply allows those who want to go further to carry a lantern into the darker corners.
