When people find out I’ve been a paranormal investigator for nearly three decades, they always ask what kind of high-tech gear I use. The truth? I prefer to keep it simple. I rely on my own senses and sitting quietly to see what happens.
We've been incredibly fortunate to be invited to investigate some of the most amazing, unusual, and historic locations you could imagine. We've conducted a live Halloween broadcast with BBC Radio, and spent countless nights in castles, prisons, hospitals, manor houses, theme parks and private homes to name but a few! 🏰🎙️
But if you asked me about one of the most intense locations? It wasn't a grand ballroom or a crumbling dungeon. It was a cliff cave...
We joined a sea rescue team to investigate a cave that was so tightly confined, the only way in was to go feet-first into a very narrow tunnel, literally pulling ourselves through with our feet. I must admit it took some convincing to get me to go in! Panic set in as soon as I saw the only way in….and of course, back out again afterwards! And once in the cave, there was yet another abseil down into a further cave chamber! One investigation I will never forget!!
In underground or ancient locations like that, high-tech gear often fails. Moisture and extreme cold easily interfere with sensitive electronics. That is why I love using simple, low-tech tools like:
Marbles and old toy cars to detect physical movement
Dowsing rods and torches
A trusty voice recorder and camera 📸🎙️
A notepad and pen for automatic writing.
I do use modern equipment from time to time if the location is right, but nothing beats patience, silence, and the basics.
I’m still just as fascinated by the unexplained as I was on day one and love exploring and discovering new and old locations, and meeting new people along the way! 👻
