[edit] UFOs
Devereux claims that his decision to research paranormal phenomena was triggered by witnessing a UFO: "It bugged the hell out of me, almost gave me a mental breakdown. I couldn't make it fit into the everyday mundane world view."[1]
Devereux draws on the work of controversial Canadian academic Michael Persinger and believes many unresolved UFO sightings can be explained by "earthlights", clouds of plasma being charged by strong electromagnetic fields occurring in areas of seismic activity which he explores in his book, Haunted Land.
[edit] Dragon Trust
Besides research and writing, Devereux also directs the Dragon Project Trust, which in the past used scientific measuring instruments to discover whether sacred places are the sites of actual physical anomalies. The project also conducts research with the services of dowsers, diviners and mystics, to discover if a site has "unusual energies". It also runs an ancient sites dreamwork project.[2]
