Pulloxhill Marsh is a 12½ acre (5.1-hectare) ancient wetland and grassland in Pulloxhill, Bedfordshire, designated as a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) which hosts rare plant species and a diverse array of invertebrates. Natural springs flowing into the marsh on three sides have created an unusual wetland of reed and sedge, dominated by blunt-flowered rush and marsh valerian, rare in Bedfordshire. They are seeking crowdfunding support, with the purchase of the site over 99% funded, with less than £1000 needed to secure its permanent protection by the Wildlife Trust for Beds Cambs & Northants. (I've donated).

Hi All,

I'm leading a study investigating people's encounters with mantis entities (often associated with altered states of consciousness, but some individuals report encounters going about their day-to-day lives). This is a research collaboration with Prof. David Luke (University of Greenwich) and Samantha Treasure (an OBE book author, anthropologist and independent researcher). We have not received any funding support to undertake the study, and are working on it in our own free time, motivated purely by our shared interest in the subject. This is not a data mining exercise, and is purely for research purposes, pertaining solely to this particular topic.

All and any survey feedback is very much appreciated, as is sharing the survey with others you feel might be interested in it.

Study Background

This mantis encounter phenomenon has never been researched in depth before, prompting me to craft this survey seeking to shed some light on it. This study seeks to find out more about a general overview of your mantis entity encounter experiences, an overview of your single most vivid mantis entity encounter experience, experiential features of this encounter experience, and its interpretation and impact. The study has been reviewed and given ethical approval through the University of Greenwich Research Ethics Board.

Completing the survey should take around 20 minutes, depending on the level of feedback provided in the open text response segments of the survey (and it is totally up to the individual in question how much feedback they wish to provide in these parts of the survey). Further information about the study can be found in the Participant Information Sheet, accessible via clicking the link to the survey below.

Is this survey anonymous?

The survey is completely anonymous, unless you agree to be contacted for future research, or wish to be entered into the Amazon gift voucher raffle as a thank you for taking the time to complete the survey. This is totally optional, and in both of these cases, you will be prompted to enter an email address, but these will be only be visible to the three study investigators and will not be visible to, or shared with anybody else.

What will happen to the results of the research study?

We hope to publish the results of this study in a scientific journal in time (and I will prioritise open access publication to ensure the results are in the public domain) and I will share the research once it is published. We may also present the results at scientific conferences or seminars. The results of the survey may also inform the writing of a book on the mantis entity encounter phenomenon.

Eligibility Criteria

You are invited to participate in this survey if you fulfil all of the criteria listed below:

1). You are at least 18 years old.

2). You read, write, and speak English fluently.

3). You have had an encounter with a mantis entity.
