Meet the team

I’ve been with KPS since 2018. I was looking to join an honest, trustworthy group as I want to experience and document true paranormal phenomena, even if it does mean hours of quiet investigations standing in the cold and dark with nothing happening.

I was around 12/13 years old when I had my first paranormal experience. I was walking between one bedroom to another, where I had the most chilling woman’s’ scream in my face, coming from the room immediately to my right. I felt the cold air from the scream, almost like it’s breath. I froze with fear, wanting to run downstairs but I couldn’t. I just had my eyes fixed on the room. My mum came running upstairs as she heard it from downstairs, only to find the scream was not me, but something else. Whilst most people will forever fear ghosts after an encounter like this, I was the opposite and wanted to experience more, and find out what a ghost really is. I experienced other stuff over the years such as hearing ghostly voices/mimicking and footsteps.

My favourite equipment to take on an investigation is first and foremost my camcorder. I have started to upload my content to YouTube. I don’t concentrate on the filming, and getting people in shot etc, I simply have it to document, and almost carry it around and forget I’m holding it, as I want to concentrate on the investigation, not the camera! If I pick anything up, it’s a bonus. A torch is also essential for navigating around in the dark.

Coming soon

I’m the mum in Dans bio. The night the scream happened was both frightening and amazing, and, although I’d been a believer my whole life, this was the first time anything had happened that someone else could verify.

I often have things happening at home which I cannot debunk, but several things happened when I was growing up which led to me being a firm believer in the paranormal.

I classify myself as a sceptic but I am and have been intrigued by both personal experience and with KPS as a group, in particular the lifting and crashing of a decorators stool at one of our recent outings which I still cannot de-bunk. This was the closest I have been to an unexplained phenomenon.

I have had many weird experiences in my life as both an adult and a child, which had set my interest at an early age and I shall continue searching for the “golden nugget” which I can class as definitively paranormal.

My favourite piece of equipment is my homemade Spirit Board (“Pete’s Board”).  It’s much larger than a traditional Ouija Board and we use a glass instead of a planchette.  The one I have at the moment is the 3^rd board I’ve made (the others became tatty and too rough to use) and we’re on our 2^nd glass (the first one broke under very unusual circumstances), but a bit like Triggers Broom in Only Fools and Horses, I’ll always say I’ve had the same one since I started attending paranormal investigations 16 years ago!

I do have some other kit but sadly not the patience or talent to use it properly or analyse the results – luckily at KPS we have better people than I whom are willing to do so.  If I am ever wealthy enough, I’m going to buy the team a van and have it fitted out with state of the art kit to use as a base on investigations.

I love EVP as a subject and one of my top 3 experiences was pure EVP gold (sadly the recording has long been lost).

I am sensitive and have trained as a medium. I’ve also studied anomalous phenomena scientifically, so whilst I am psychic my feet are well and truly on the ground and on any given investigation I need to be pushed some way down the paranormal road before I’m prepared to engage with unexplained events, even if it’s me that has encountered them.  I think scepticism is very healthy and we should encourage a broad cross section of beliefs within our team, but cynicism is ugly and I have no time whatsoever for fraudulent mystical behaviour.  If you push the glass, you’re off the board!

My first investigation was at a pub near Winchester on 11^th December 2005.  Since then I’ve organised and/or attended about 150 investigations at locations across the whole of the UK and whilst I’ve enjoyed them all, some stand out more than others.  Just after I got hooked on “ghost busting” I decided I had 3 goals:

1/ To see a “real” ghost;

2/ To see something inanimate move “on its own”;

3/ To be scared witless.

I believe I’ve nailed the first one, the second one still eludes me and the third……..well, it’s come a little close on two occasions but I’m waiting for the big one.

My favourite location is Maidstone Museum but my best all round investigation was at The Black Swan Inn in Devizes.

My most memorable event was at Leeds Castle – and I wasn’t even there for an investigation.  I was in the Maiden’s Tower doing a building survey with my Father (who is open minded but sceptical and challenging).  We had locked all the doors from the inside to prevent any public wandering in and given the reason we were there, we had been all over the building and knew we were alone.  We were taking a lunch break and just chatting when on the floor above we heard some heavy scraping sounds – like furniture being dragged across a wooden floor.  We looked at eachother. We charged up the stairs.  And found nothing and no one………

I joined KPS in 2009 and ran the group with my husband Karl between 2011 and 2022.

I have been a believer from a young age as I was visited as a child by family members who had passed.

I have investigated Kelvedon Hatch over ten times. There are always strange things happening there and it is always interesting to try to debunk them, though not always possible.

This is what makes it my favourite place to investigate.

Always been fascinated to see if there really is anything out there, and if we, the living, can actually communicate with another dimension.
