Karl McGahern – Proprietor

Ever since a child I had many paranormal experiences and developed an interest in ghost hunting at a very young age.Since becoming a paranormal investigator I decided to share these experiences with others and found that even though a subject not generally discussed over the dinner table vast amounts of people do have a genuine interest. My favorite method is good old fashioned calling out and asking for things to happen. My favorite venues are The Grapes Inn (Scaling Dam) & The Castle Keep (Newcastle) because of the direct responses that I have had there.

Nicola Jayne Foy - Manager

Working with Spirit Seekers for 2 years my eyes have opened to the unexpected. I am not as sceptical as I used to be and hope to carry on finding more concrete evidence that spirits exist. I first joined to film investigations and prepare equipment. Now as an Investigator I’ve happily gained much experience. My favorite techniques include calling out as the public can see for themselves that this is more evidential. I also favor table tipping as a real eye opener. Charltons village hall is sentimental to me. Along with the amount paranormal communication I’ve witnessed there it’s the first place I investigated. I met regular customers that have since become good friends.

Samantha Brewster - Lead Investigator & Photography Expert

I prefer the scientific approach whilst being able to prove things easily to non believers & favor using digital recorders to capture EVPs. I’ve always wanted to be part of Spirit Seekers & have met great people at great places. My favourite venues are The Castle Keep and the Marsden Grotto. They are awesome to look at, have great history and my experiences there have been very memorable. I’ve been interested in the paranormal for as long as I can remember & it’s in my family. Ive been with Spirit seekers for a long time and have been investigating for years. I have experienced many unexplained things including full apparitions. I want to get the right evidence to prove the existence of ghosts & feel I have a lot to offer

Our deepest condolences must also go out to your wonderful wife Anne and daughter Elle. Wherever you are now I hope that you are receiving the fun, love and care that you have shown to others in this life. Starting at a very young age i experienced things i couldnt explain, and now over the past few years i have delved more into the paranormal looking for the answers that i could never find and answer and i carry on my search to do so. The methods i like mostly are Evp and picture evidence I have recently joined spirit seekers after being on a few locations with them. My favourite venues to date are the Northeast air Museum and the Castle Keep of which both had lots of activity.

Lesley Giles - Paranormal Investigator

I have been interested in the paranormal ever since childhood, sitting round with family telling ghost stories, at my aunts house which was supposedly haunted by children. I’ve got to thank Most Haunted for getting me hooked on my interest in ghost hunts which I have been doing for around about 7 years. I have had a number of paranormal experiences which I still try to debunk. One of my favourite methods to use is Franks box, which flicks through radio waves and randomly picks up voices in response to questions. My favourite venue so far is Castle Keep because I have had whispers and breaths in my ear, seen black shapes and had uncontrollable shakes (no, I wasn’t cold or scared!) I have just recently joined the Spirit Seekers team, after attending some of their ghost hunts.

Rebecca Hall - Paranormal Investigator

For as long as I can remember I have been fascinated by the things in life that can’t be explained. After several personal experiences, I have been eager to get some answers, some sort of proof to validate these events. I am by no means a skeptic, but I would describe myself as a realist. It takes a bit more than a spooky feeling or something going bump in the night to convince me of paranormal activity. Because of this my favorite methods are the more scientific ones, such as EMF and photo/video evidence – things can be documented and recorded and shown to others. I have recently come on board with Spirit Seekers after knowing Karl and Nicola for some time, and I have been highly impressed by the levels of activity experienced. I look forward to my eyes being opened further through future investigations as the team dig deeper into the paranormal.
