What
Inspired You?
Well,
I have always had an interest in anything anomalous. Not just Ghosts,
UFO’s and Monsters But, subjects like Healing, ESP, Timeslips,
Automatic writing, forbidden archaeology and ancient sites like
Avebury and Stonehenge etc, etc.
I
can’t exactly pinpoint where my interest started but, it was there
when I was very young. I guess one thing that did peak my interest
though was my father telling me of the Ghost he and his younger
brother saw when they were teenagers.
It
was in an area of Southampton in Hampshire. They were at a place
where there was a ruined house. They both saw a figure of a cavalier
(from the days of the English civil war in the 1600’s). I remember
my Dad’s description. He told me it was a figure, perfect in every
way and detail. But, he did say that it was white and you could see
through it. That was all as they both ran.
But,
since then many things and people have inspired me to continue.
What
are your Aims?
In
recent years I have trained in Anomalous Phenomena Research with
MAPIT at basic and Advanced Level but, I have also done many other
things such as Reiki, I am a Reiki 2 healer and I.E.T. (Integrated
Energy Therapy) and I am an IET Master Instructor, among other
things.
My
aims are to settle here in North Devon and to get my new Group,
Eternal Realities, off the ground. What I am to do with Eternal
Realities is to set up a group with a difference. Eternal Realities
will be an Anomalous Phenomena research group with far reaching aims
to integrate all of what I have learnt. It will provide a group which
will look into reports of Phenomena but, will also provide healing
and other services should they be requested by witnesses or
experiencers.
I
may even take it further in the future as I have some other ideas
but, that’s for another time.
What
plans do you have for the future?
For
the future I hope to establish Eternal Realities and also create good
links with other groups. I already work closely with the local group
CFZ (Centre for Fortean Zoology) run by my good friend Jon Downes and
I also have a group in Southampton I helped to found called South
Coast Paranormal, who run paranormal events for the public. SCP is
different in that we don’t look to use loads of
technology
and equipment but, try to help our guests work with their own
personal energy in experiencing phenomena. I also work closely with
some other groups via facebook where I help with my knowledge and
advice etc.
So,
for the future it is all about getting the group up and running here
and to forge close ties with other groups and helping those people
out there who are seeing and experiencing things they can’t
explain.
If
anyone would like to know more about me, my background and the new
group then feel free to look me up on facebook or via my group
Eternal Realities also on facebook or email me at

I
will also be at this year’s Weird Weekend at the Small School in
Hartland, North Devon, doing a little photography for the event so,
please come have a chat.
