Steve on Ghost Hunting

Well,  I believe there is two forms of ghost hunting. First we have the ghost hunters who I class as the believers and have witnessed something that they accept is paranormal or a ghost  or something that is not normal but still want to find out what it is. Then there is the Paranormal investigator who does not believe in ghosts and they say there is something there but every bit of evidence you submit they shoot down and every ghost image is fake!! Sound like you! I believe and I have seen and felt things that I can't explain but I just accept there is things out there I will never explain or understand but I accept this.

I very rarely take a camera ghost hunting as I do this for me and no one else. Some paranormal investigators want to record every little thing and to me there is no point, as it does not matter who you show it to they will never believe. Do it for you and no one else

Do You Live In a Haunted House: Some times, mostly family in visitation but Steve has seen allot in the house and I have heard strange sounds and banging on my wardrobes at night

About Coop:

I was born in Gateshead, my fave things I like to do is read about old school gangsters. I surf with Steve a lot and we road trip all over the UK. A paranormal investigation in Europe or the UK is a good excuse for a surf trip too. When there's no surf I get out on my long board, like surfing on concrete!  I work by day for a large IT company as a Project Manager!

Coop on Ghost Hunting:

I am not the world's biggest ghost hunter, I just like to watch and here the stories but every now and again I do get involved and its to a level that I find extreme. I am a sceptic but I have experienced things that I can't explain and I have seen things that I was fully aware of and noted them to be paranormal.

The team class me as a sensitive as I seem to smell a lot of things and feel things in locations.

Name: Trevor Brown

Position: Second Lead Investigator, Head of Security and Location coordinator

D.O.B: Halloween 1973

Favourite haunted location: Its hard to choose when you have done so many, I would say the Newcastle Keep

Do You Live In a Haunted House: Yes, we have recently moved and by the 6th month all sorts of thing have been going on, my partner has seen an old man in the house and a child, we have had an EVP recorded in the house. When Steve asked out the question "Did you die hear" a voice was recorded that no one heard and it stated in a Scottish accent "I killed Jimmy". But i am still sceptical!

Scariest moment: Still waiting for it to happen

Favourite quote or movie line: Star Wars Look Sir Druids. "The voices have great ideas and they are someone else to blame"  

About Trev:

I was born in Hexham and have had a strong interest in all things strange and weird for as long as I remember. I enjoy reading, computers, watching horror and sci-fi films and listening to extreme music as well as spending time with my family. I have played the drums off and on for the past 15 years and currently drum for the best band in the North East since Venom, Saint Massacre.

Trev on Ghost Hunting:

I have witnessed some very strange events but remain sceptical. I have spent the night investigating Newcastle Keep over 40 times in a space of 3 years due to the fact of witnessing and capturing on camera a rather peculiar mist like figure. I spent a long time thinking about what I had witnessed and cannot explain it. I believe paranormal happenings do occur but it all boils down to the individual’s perception of events thus making it a personal experience. I also believe it is just a matter of time before science will catch up and cast a lot of light on things that go bump in the night.

I enjoy investigations and the anticipation of something happening. I have done several charity events raising money for Cancer research and other worthy causes.

About Ged

My name's G.P. Lynn and I've just set up a business doing historical research into buildings and historical environments.  What I do can be seen on my website www.thisspotthen.co.uk.  Effectively it's 'genealogy for buildings' - I trace former developments and owners as far back as can be obtained. I also draw a picture of the site at any point in the past put together from information I've gained from photos, maps and descriptions.

I'll help with doing research for locations, and any background on the people and trades etc that used to go on there.
