The Occult Family
We are The Occult Family dubbed ‘The Real Life Addams Family.’ We are a paranormal family and we ghost hunt with our 11 and 8 year old daughters in some of the biggest haunted venues across the country.
Our eldest daughter Snow can see energy and when she visits haunted locations she is able to access the field. Her visions match the history of the buildings we investigate. Kymmi can sense and feel energy, JP can connect with one’s consciousness, especially during Ouija sessions and our youngest daughter, Pebble is developing her skills and we call her the ghost hunting princess. We own world renowned haunted items that are held in our ‘Occult Room’ that is attached to our house. We conduct extensive research on our items that have been sent to us from around the globe.
The paranormal is our life; we live it day in and day out, developing our consciousness and skills to be able to bring the paranormal to the forefront. Our mission is to educate mainstream society that the paranormal is real and it’s not demonic as portrayed by Hollywood.

Junior Paranormal Events
Junior Paranormal Events was founded by Michael and Gemma, along with their children Finlay and Aubrey, in 2021. Gemma is a qualified teacher of many years and had previously operated a successful educational business, they combined this experience, with their love of the paranormal, to create this special non profit group. Junior Paranormal Events are the only group to solely work with children and young people aged 9 -17 offering them opportunities to explore the paranormal safely and responsibly.
Junior Paranormal Events has become much more than an events group. They are regular contributors to Haunted Magazine, a hugely successful global publication. Gemma is also a published writer and researcher being part of the writing staff at Spooky Isles and Haunted Attic. In 2024 Gemma wrote, and co directed, an audio drama ‘Margo’s Story’ in partnership with Alternative Stories and Fake Realities Podcast. The drama was created for children and young people based upon her experiences following the loss of her Dad at a young age, the paranormal experiences that followed and being the ‘weird kid’. It has since been streamed worldwide.
The team is very unique in that it is made up of adults and juniors who together have created a special community where children and young people can be themselves and connected with like minded peers. Junior Paranormal Events continues to go from strength to strength and have now extended their family to create a partnership with Haunted Happenings so that even more juniors, across the country, can access their events.
They are proud supporters of The Sophie Lancaster Foundation #wearesophie

Jay Austin
I became curious about the phenomenon known as UFOs back when I was a teen after having an encounter as a then 14 year old boy. Way before the internet I would read as many books as I could that were associated with this UFO/UAP conundrum.
In 2014 I started my journey into creating a public page, dedicated to all things UFO/UAP and associated phenomena. Since then my research has taken me far and wide, as I seek the questions to the answers I had as a naive child. I have discovered some of those answers all be it in my own opinion through experience and research. With so much information trickling into the public conscious, is imminent disclosure on the horizon?
I have myself many documented encounters and experiences with things that cannot be explained by rational or prosaic explanation. I am a former Professional Mixed Martial Artist, Professional and Amateur wrestler, amateur stand up comedian, blogger and ufologist. Although I think many fringe subjects are interlinked and connected and I would describe my research into phenomenology as a steep learning curve.
