Has Ghost Hunting Changed What I Believe?: A Personal Reflection

A stripped back audio episode while I travel in the USA. After years of investigating supposedly haunted locations, running ghost hunts and exploring stories of the unexplained, has ghost hunting actually changed what I believe? In this shorter and more personal episode of Beyond Haunted UK, I step away from the history books for a moment and reflect on my own relationship with the paranormal. I grew up believing there was more to our world than we understand. But strangely, years spent investigating the paranormal haven't made me believe everything I encounter. They've made me question more. From an experience I had as a child that has stayed with me for almost 35 years, to the increasingly commercial world of paranormal tourism and online ghost hunting, I explore why I now believe genuinely unexplained experiences may be far rarer and perhaps far more valuable than we sometimes think. Has ghost hunting made me more of a believer? Or has it made me a sceptic? Perhaps the answer lies somewhere between the two. 🎧 Listen to the Beyond Haunted UK soundtrack on SoundCloud: Follow Beyond Haunted UK across social media for updates, photographs and behind-the-scenes content.

A stripped back audio episode while I travel in the USA.

After years of investigating supposedly haunted locations, running ghost hunts and exploring stories of the unexplained, has ghost hunting actually changed what I believe?

In this shorter and more personal episode of Beyond Haunted UK, I step away from the history books for a moment and reflect on my own relationship with the paranormal.

I grew up believing there was more to our world than we understand. But strangely, years spent investigating the paranormal haven't made me believe everything I encounter.

They've made me question more.

From an experience I had as a child that has stayed with me for almost 35 years, to the increasingly commercial world of paranormal tourism and online ghost hunting, I explore why I now believe genuinely unexplained experiences may be far rarer and perhaps far more valuable than we sometimes think.

Has ghost hunting made me more of a believer?

Or has it made me a sceptic?

Perhaps the answer lies somewhere between the two.
