As an investigator into the paranormal, I hear many stories, some send shivers down your spine. Others strike fear into you. Who do you turn to for help?. Hopefully an accredited investigator. My father a church minister, and member of the churches fellowship for Psychical and Spiritual Studies, was a great inspiration to me, which opened the doors for me to develop my interest, giving me the opportunity to front a ghost hunting program on BBC Radio Leeds. from which my story is based.
