About Us

WHO ARE HAUNTING EXPERIENCES?

We are a thoroughly professional and experienced team of paranormal investigators. We organise events related to ghosts and the paranormal, across the United Kingdom. You can guarantee that any event run by Haunting Experiences will be a first-rate one!

(See: www.paranormalresearch.org.uk)

Described in The Independent newspaper as “Britain's most dedicated 'ghostbusting' outfit”!

While none of us actually like the term “Ghostbusting" as such, we are indeed thoroughly dedicated and experienced in: business, the paranormal and event organisation. We are committed to professionalism and our nights are based on expert research with paranormal equipment and correct techniques. We are not interested in gimmicks, sensationalism or deception.

That’s why we have gained such a good reputation!

WHAT’S DIFFERENT ABOUT HAUNTING EXPERIENCES?

Since the current "vogue" of interest in the paranormal, undoubtedly created by programmes such as Most Haunted; a large number of "companies" have sprung up offering ghost hunts and paranormal events. We have worked in this area for many years and have been organising events such as this since 1999 (one of the first). So you can guarantee you are dealing with people with a genuine passion for the subject rather than a passing interest or hope of just making money from a passing trend.

We also naturally have full public liability insurance, First Aid training and carry out full risk assessments. So you can rest assured that if you book for one of our events you are letting yourselves in for a night to remember and one you will never forget! But secure in the knowledge that you are being looked after by a competent and knowledgeable company!

Also we are the first "Ghost Hunters" to work so closely with charity and to give people the chance to help such a deserving cause.


Events are hosted by experienced professionals whose combined experience in the paranormal is almost second to none and their enthusiasm and commitment to making Haunting Experiences events the best they can be is phenomenal. Although they are meticulously professional in their approach to the paranormal, they are also thoroughly good company and fun to be around, with a fantastic sense of humour. There will often be other experts available including psychics and other professionals – all of whom have something very special to give. Each individual event listing will contain full and distinctive information about who will be in attendance as well as information about each location and what the event entails.


IAN ADDICOAT

Ian is described as a "down to earth professional" who treats the paranormal with both a passion and a refreshing sense of rationalism. He is level headed and calm in any given situation.

Ian is a very experienced full time paranormal researcher who has taken part in investigations at some of the most haunted locations in the country, with some of the other leading "ghost hunters" in the UK. He has developed quite a reputation amongst fellow professionals. Ian has also contributed to and appeared on a number of television and radio programmes in the UK, USA, AUSTRALIA and GERMANY (these include: MOST HAUNTED, NOTORIOUS CASTLES, THE DISCOVERY CHANNEL, CARLTON, LONDON WEEKEND TELEVISION, BBC, etc), often described as "a natural for television". Ian also does a lot of work, when called upon by the media, to comment on paranormal events. However, he has turned down many offers of work from programmes which he feels are not being made for the right reasons.

Ian has had an almost lifelong interest in ghosts and the paranormal and possesses an extraordinary knowledge of the subject, with some very enlightened theories (be sure to ask him!). He is also President of the renowned Paranormal Research Organisation (UK). He has written several books on the subject and has been organising “ghostly” events full time since 1999.

WILL BRUNNING

Will is a qualified technician who currently works at a local hospital in Cornwall. His main occupation involves working with camera and fiberoptic equipment along with video processing technology - all skills which are very useful to his paranormal investigations. He dedicates his spare time to researching and investigating the realm of the paranormal. Due to the number of experiences he has gained during investigations, at locations claimed to be haunted, he feels almost converted to the fact that ghosts / life after death does exist. Nevertheless he is still very questioning; being careful not to quickly announce without looking into all the possibilities that may account for phenomena.

He is also a valued part of the renowned paranormal investigation team 'P.R.O.' as Location Co-ordinator. His main duties for this include taking witness statements about the apparent paranormal events that have taken place and also baseline tests at properties to rule out any natural causes that may explain the reason for such reported incidents. Under the guidance of P.R.O. Will has become proficient in the art of 'Dowsing', often coming up with very interesting results and is very keen in pursuing this area further. He considers himself a 'down to earth' guy and has excellent people skills, like his partners he has always had an enthusiastic interest in the paranormal since a child and loves the challenge of running head long into the darkness looking to gather evidence - usually coming up with more than he bargained for: screaming out "cobwebs!" or "spiders"!

Other projects Will has been involved in include working with TV companies (such as Carlton, Animal X, etc) along with appearing in many newspapers and magazine articles regarding paranormal investigations around the UK. He has also worked with 'Haunted Cornwall' taking members of the public around haunted locations and introducing them to how he conducts paranormal investigations with the aid of 'Dowsing' and 'Ghosthunting equipment'.
