Human beings fear what they don't understand, and when we fear something our fight or flight response mechanism kicks in.
I am aware that many people do not understand my Method, and therefore do not care for it. Some of these people have become quite outspoken about their distaste for the Method, but most of these detractors have never attended a single one of my lectures and for these people I no patience. Now, if one has attended my lectures and then continues to doubt my Method's effectiveness well then, that's a difference of opinion, and I would very much enjoy the opportunity to discuss the reasons for your conclusions - although quite frankly if you attend my upcoming lecture on this particular case study any doubts and fears you have about my Method will be alleviated.
Prof. Nick Balaisis is a colleague of mine in the department of Metasociology and after attending some of my early lectures he has formed an opposing opinion about the Method. However, Prof. Balaisis has refused to come to my lectures to discuss, in front of my students, his differing opinion. So, Mr. Cade took it upon himself to interview Prof. Balaisis to try to gain some insight as to why he fears my Method.
Prof. Balaisis can be quite verbose, so I've taken the liberty of editing some of the interview but I assure you I cut nothing of significance.

The Nightmare
Hypnagogic experiences and imagary are thought to occur during the transition state between the phases of consciousness known as wakefulness and sleep. In contrast hypnopompic experiences and imagery are thought to occur during the transition from sleep to wakefulness.
This wakefulness-sleep transition state is complimented by vivid visual, auditory, and tactile dreamlike sensations, or hallucinations. These experiences are almost always accompanied by sleep paralysis.
Hypnagogic and hypnopompic sufferers commonly refer to the experience as "the devil riding your back."

The Math
I've always excelled at mathematics. It was, in fact, a field I seriously considered entering before Metasociology presented itself to me. I believe I was drawn to it because there's always more to learn, more to discover. Not unlike Metasociology.
In the archival file for this House I found the following document.
As you can see there are six distinct drawings on this document. These drawings all match up to different levels or specific rooms of the House. Except for the small drawing at the bottom. I have personally spent a great deal of time at 27 Edgedale Road over the past few months and this drawing matches up to nothing in the House. This is not room, a closet, a shed in the garden. Nothing.
Also on the document are various mathematical equations. The longest equation (on the top right) adds up to dimensions of the House, although strangely enough the numbers are in inches, not the standard foot measurements. The three smaller equations (at the bottom right) are different variations on the dimensions of the small drawing. Each time one number is slightly altered giving a different result.
There is no mention anywhere on this document, or in the file, of who composed it. In fact, it's not clear why it was kept in the file at all. Certainly not for architectural records as the actual records can be easily obtained through the city. But beyond that is the oddity of the small drawing.
It should be noted, as it might not be clear from the image, that the information is written on a ripped piece of cardboard.

Slight Variations
After comparing the architectural drawings of the House to the measurements that my team procured for the reconstruction phase of the method, there appears to be some slight, but significant, variances.
The following clip is being posted as a visual record of the measurements we obtained from the north side of the exterior of the House. It's the north wall, actually the northeast corner, of the basement that is the anomaly.
This might turn out to be nothing more then a recording error on the architectural diagrams.
Then again, this could be more significant as the basement, and specifically the northeast corner, is where we have excavated several notable artifacts.
