Uncover My Paranormal Investigations Blog
The night has a way of holding secrets. A door creaks when no one is near, a shadow lingers too long in the corner, a chill moves through the air though the windows are closed. These are the whispers of the unknown and it is here, in these moments, that our journey begins.
This blog is not just about haunted places, but about the presence that lingers within them. Old inns, theatres, manor houses, and forgotten corners of history and it is each one that hides echoes of lives long passed, some peaceful, others restless. Their stories drift between worlds, waiting to be heard, waiting to be acknowledged.
What you’ll find here in this blog are not mere tales of ghost hunting, but experiences that blur the line between the living and the dead. Evidence, encounters, and impressions captured in the dark hours when the world grows quiet and the veil grows thin.
So, step carefully, read on, if you dare. For beyond these words lies a path into the shadows and once you look, you cannot unsee.
What is a Ghost (Really)?
Ghosts have been reported across cultures and centuries, yet their true nature remains deeply contested. This article explores what people actually experience when they encounter a “ghost,” why the classic full-bodied apparition is largely a cultural myth, and how neuroscience, environmental science, and modern physics offer plausible explanatory frameworks. Rather than claiming certainty, it argues that the term ghost likely encompasses multiple distinct phenomena operating

Reflecting on a Current Hypothesis Around Geomagnetic activity and its relationships with Paranormal Activity
What if consciousness is not confined to a single point in the brain, but instead emerges from dynamic wave-like interactions across the entire organism? This article explores how modern neuroscience, physics, and phenomenological thought converge on the idea that information is encoded through phase and amplitude relationships—rippling across neural networks and bodily systems alike. By reframing awareness as an emergent property of complex, distributed patterns rather than

Haunted Manor Houses: New Adventures Ahead
There is something timeless about a manor house. The weight of history in its walls, the echoes of lives once lived, and the sense that not everything has moved on. As a new year begins, we turn our attention to haunted manor houses — places of beauty, mystery, and unanswered questions — and ask what stories they are ready to reveal, where our investigations will take us next, and what new adventures lie ahead.

Ghost!
The word ghost didn’t begin as something frightening. Rooted in Old English, it once described the breath and spirit that animated life. Over centuries, cultural beliefs and stories transformed it into the eerie concept we know today. This blog explores how a simple word evolved into a symbol of the supernatural.

Are We Living Inside an Information Field?
Are humans actually tapping into a universal information field when we sense, remember, or intuit things we shouldn’t logically know? In this article, I explore the idea that consciousness may function like a receiver — accessing etheric data stored in the fabric of reality itself. I also share a powerful personal experience during meditation where I found myself back inside my old workplace, seeing everything with impossible clarity, as though the memory existed independentl

The White Hart, Andover; Spirits of a Coaching Inn
During our investigation at The White Hart in Andover, Room 20 came alive with icy cold spots, faint orbs, and a whispered “Help” beside Barry’s ear. In the function room, a cat ball lit without cause, and dowsing rods answered then fell silent. Both of us sensed a powerful presence — the Judge — perhaps keeping order among the spirits. The White Hart remains a place where history still walks quietly through every corridor.
