I have always loved history though I have two particularly favourite aspects. Born and brought up in Cornwall, I was surrounded by its industrial heritage (tin mining and China clay), maritime history, and, of course, the many Cornish myths and legends, some related to the supernatural and paranormal.

My other favourite is military history, particularly the aviation side of it. My first paranormal experience was during my RAF Basic Training when I saw a shadow figure standing at the bottom of my bed at some unearthly hour! I had some unexplained experiences during my 26 years in the Service. Now living near the Notts/Lincs border, I am surrounded by aviation history and like nothing more than exploring old airfields, all with stories to tell, and I have had more than a few paranormal experiences on them. When you are alone, the hairs on your neck always seem to stand up much taller than normal when something freaky happens!

I got into ghost hunting during the first covid lockdown, doing a ghost walk in an ancient forest, and I was hooked! Since then, I have been on paranormal investigations around the country in some amazing buildings, both above and below ground, and had more than my fair share of spooky experiences (still waiting to see an actual full apparition, though, I live in hope….).

My favourite venues (I am greedy) are Beaumanor Hall, the very quirky South Yorkshire Air Museum (guess the link with them!) and, due to the experiences I have had there (have you ever seen a table dance?), the Grand Pavilion in Matlock Bath.
