Hayley is a Ghost

A paranormal researcher living and working in the British county of Wiltshire, I have been investigating paranormal mysteries for almost two decades, since my teens. I conduct my research using a scientific methodology with the aim to find rational causes for mysterious and strange things that people report. My best known cases include the Ghost of Clevedon Pier, the Ghost of Torquay Museum, the Bownessie Lake Monster, the MacKenzie Poltergeist, the Ghost of Tantallon Castle, and more. It’s okay if you’ve not heard of these, though!

When I’m not investigating mysteries I can be found either working at my full-time job, writing for The Skeptic magazine, or watching scary movies and documentaries.

Favourite horror movie: Silence of the Lambs
Favourite ghost story: Haunting of Hill House
Favourite ghost: Casper the Friendly Ghost (which is also the name of my cat)

Writing

Although I primarily publish to this blog, my writing has been published in several books, the UK Skeptic magazine, Skeptical Inquirer, Paranormal Magazine & elsewhere.

Public Speaking

I often get invited to speak at conferences and public events, and I’ve had the pleasure of speaking to international audiences about the interesting science of researching paranormal claims. I have to fit these events around my actual career though, so events are few and far…

Media Consultancy

I often get contacted by other writers, researchers and producers for expert advice and commentary on the research I conduct and the paranormal in general. I’m happy to contribute my “expert opinion” with the caveat that I might be wrong! Get in touch.
