Just spotted this intriguing looking hearse parked in Melbourne Grove advertising paranormal investigations. Anyone know anything about this? Is it more of an events company or is it deadly serious (excuse the pun)?


As an aside, it's parked opposite two houses that are up for sale. If you were a prospective purchaser would this put you off? I don't think I'd care one way or the other, but interested to know what the forum thinks.

The Scottish company called PARADOX PARANORMAL INVESTIGATION LTD was dissolved in July 2011. It has passed over. It is no more.

Philip Wray was listed as director.


> photos appear to show exact same car and logo


paradox-paranormal.co.uk is registered to an unnamed individual who says they are non-trading.

The website mentions Philip Wray as one of the team members and doesn't seem to show any updating or activity beyond 2010.

The mystery hearse is still in Playfield Crescent. It was spirited away for a few days when the road was resurfaced, but then magically reappeared with a renewed 6 month tax disc. And there it sits, day after day, unmoved, rust patches growing, tyres going soft. It is indeed one of East Dulwich's greatest unsolved conundrums. (And no doubt a real pain for the people in front of whose house it is parked.)

I dont know where its gone, but im anxious every time I turn round the corner of Playfield just in case it comes back!


As a Playfield resident I am SO GLAD its gone now... we have had the joy of it parked without moving EVER from outside our houses for nearly 2 years now. Well, it did move a few meters down the road for the last 6 months of its stationary tax disc life.


I hope it hasn't gone on a Paranormal Investigation just to return at a later date..... that would be a TRUE HORROR.

    • This is simply untrue. The area is not 2/3 storeys maximum. Hambledon Court is on the other side of tracks from the Jewson site on Burrow Rd, is 8 storeys, and is barely known (let alone bothersome) to most people in East Dulwich. Felbridge House, Petworth House etc on the opposite side of the station from the new development are all 5 storeys tall. East Dulwich Charter (which neighbours the new development) is itself 4-5 storeys (depending on which block you're talking about). What's more, Hambledon Court was finished in about 1978 iirc and no-one has built anything similar around here since then - so the "slippery slope" "genie in the bottle" argument doesn't work either. You can't simultaneously argue that Southwark is too slow in approving new construction but also suggest this will lead to a flood of new high-rise housing! At current rates of approval, we can expect our next 8 storey building to arrive in...2072!
    • I checked - the Hanway Street place was Mandeer - it moved to New Oxford Street I think and was replaced by Hakkasan - very different prices. 
    • Suppose it depends on how many Christmas cards from family and friends you’re waiting to receive. It’s been the Christmas period so surely give the post delivery service some leeway. Like Sue I’ve not posted off so many this year but some I still write letters to  e.g my late mum’s cousins and other family  but hey ho that’s something I do and enjoy.  I used to hand deliver Christmas cards to a lot of neighbours on my street but gave up this year as realised that most of them I don’t see or speak to and can only count on a few to call a true friend or neighbour.
