    As a child Gemma experienced a strange encounter when laying in her dark bedroom,  her clothes appeared just get up and dance around in her room by themselves.  After this, Gemma was convinced then that there was more than meets the eye.

    Gemma didn’t really experience anything further until she moved into her first home, where things would happen that had no logical explanation.  Cutlery and knives often appeared on her kitchen worktop out of nowhere, and one day when family were visiting, the activity went as far as hearing a noise coming from the kitchen only to find a meat cleaver spinning on the worktop.

    Not long after this, Gemma moved and activity continued so much so, that her husband believed he had just engaged in conversation with her from one of the bedrooms on his way downstairs,  to then find her in the kitchen washing up.

    Gemma prefers to use her own senses when investigating and can usually be found sitting quietly observing her surroundings, but does like a techy gadget or two.

    FESTIVAL EVENT CO-ORDINATOR

    Nicki’s fascination for the paranormal started as a teenager, where telling ghost stories and playing with a Ouija board with friends planted the seed that would turn into a life long passion. From playing around with a board game as a teen, Nicki has become a strong team leader and hard working investigator, always thinking of new ways to use her senses to catch the evidence she so eagerly wants.

    Nicki started attending investigations as a guest before quickly being asked to join two well established paranormal teams.

    During investigations, Nicki enjoys using sensory equipment as well as the odd gadget or two. Preferring to sit in the dark alone and capturing hard evidence with a simple voice recorder and camera. She loves to spend time going solo and braving the haunted halls of some of the UK’s most haunted locations.

    FESTIVAL HISTORIAN

    Penny has had an in interest in all things unusual from a young age after experiencing seeing a light anomaly in an old barn in the village that she grew up in.

    Her love of history has led her to visit as many museums, old buildings and ruins as humanly possible.

    Fast forward some years and she was given the chance to embrace both her loves by presenting the Haunted Histories podcast.

    Penny has been featured in a national newspaper, interviewed on both radio and other podcasts, has recently been seen as the local historian in ‘Help my house is haunted’, a guest on the recent ‘A history of the paranormal’ documentary and also is a regular feature writer for Haunted magazine.

    If that was not enough, she is also a published author with four books currently available via Amazon and a fifth underway.

    Somehow Penny also finds time to be a wife, mum of two young boys, lift weights at that gym and is learning to play the drums!

    It’s true what they say, if you want something doing, give it to a busy person.
