Bob

I'm an open-minded-sceptic and since attending my first paranormal investigation in 1998, I have developed an interest in the technical/equipment side of investigations. During the course of an investigation I will also look for alternative explanations for any witnessed phenomena and post- investigation I will analyse the recorded equipment data.
Despite being sceptical and believing that most phenomena have "natural" sources, I have had a few experiences, including what some may describe as a direct poltergeist attack, which are difficult to attribute to anything but paranormal activity.

Dawn

I have been interested in the paranormal for a number of years now. I was a member of Spooky Thanet and took part in a number of indoor investigations, one of my favourite being the last time we went to Crabble Corn Mill. My favourite outdoor investigation was Pluckley.
Just recently the Core Team have set-up our own site and we are now known as Thanet GhostWatch, it's a very exciting time for the team.
I am also very interested in Wicca and I am one of the historical researchers on the site. I enjoy being part of the Team.

Sarah

I have been interested in the paranormal for a few years now and had my first paranormal experience when I was a child, when I used to see a little girl at the top of the stairs where I lived.
I came across Spooky Thanet in February 2005 and my first investigation with them was at Pluckley. Since then, I have done quite a few investigations. My favourite indoor investigation was the first time we went to Crabble Corn Mill and my favourite outdoor investigation was at Oxney Bottom Woods near Dover - a very scary place.
Along with the rest of the Core Team I now belong to our new group Thanet GhostWatch.

Sue

I have lived in Thanet for a good few years now but originally come from the North.
I am a questioner and have always looked for answers, however for some things there does not seem to be logical or explainable answers. Looking for these answers has led me into spirituality and all things paranormal. Although I don't believe in everything I think I see or hear - the majority of things which we believe are paranormal are simply natural "phenomena" and are scientifically explainable. There are however a few instances in life that cannot be explained away, so having some time on my hands, I decided to join a paranormal group and now actively participate in investigations and experiments within the paranormal, with what I feel is some extraordinary results.
I have always believed in the saying "A closed mind is a good thing to lose".

Bryn
Scientific Advisor.

I work professionally as a Scientist, educated to Masters Level in the Life Sciences and I am a Chartered Biologist - been working professionally now for 13 years. My work has also required me to be a scientific auditor and investigator. Very wide scientific background - amateur astronomer, photographer, and radio ham.
Long term interest in scientific / paranormal / fortean developments - since mid 80's. Difficult for a scientist to be interested in "fringe sciences or beliefs" you have to be professionally quite brave. Curiosity drives me and the hope that there may be a nugget (or two) of new theory / information that could be of benefit to humanity within the rather large scope of paranormal research.
Been on a small number of paranormally focused investigations and helped out as I have been able, with Thanet GhostWatch and Thanet Paranormal Investigations. Always interesting to encounter new places, situations and points of view, life would be quite dull otherwise.
We have to remember that science doesn't know everything - items considered in the realms of the paranormal today could be mainstream theory tomorrow.
Is traditional scientific methodology a good toolset to use in paranormal research? ....... I don't know, but we can but try.

I joined Thanet GhostWatch in April 2007 as an open-minded-sceptic.
I have already been on many walkabouts and investigations with the group, and have even had one or two experiences I cannot explain, but many more that I can. I try to look for a logical explanation wherever possible.
I have been interested in the paranormal and unexplained for as long as I can remember, spending a lot of time as a child in the library reading all the books I could find on the subject. Although I have always found these things interesting, I have recently found a renewed enthusiasm in the subject. - well, as a hobby it beats collecting stamps!

I first joined Spooky Thanet two years ago and am now a member of the Thanet GhostWatch team.
My first investigation was at the Theatre Royal in Margate where I worked on the night-vision camera and saw things that I can't explain. Ever since then I have been very interested in the paranormal and now work the cameras on both property investigations and walkabouts - some of the things I've witnessed are very difficult to explain by conventional means.

Keith

I have been interested in the paranormal since my childhood. My earliest "experience" was that of flying in slow-motion when I jumped down some stairs (about 3 of them) in my back garden, but, of course, I was unable to repeat the feat.
In 2002, my dad passed away and, a short time later, strange things started to happen at home. Things like kitchen taps turning themselves on then off again (witnessed by myself, the wife and my mum), not scary just bizarre!
