Jo came on board not only as an "on-site" paranormal investigator & site assessor, but, to also help put a different perspective on the investigations with her mediumistic abilities.

Most memorable "paranormal" EXPERIENCE:

I have many, however the most memorable happened at a Abbey in North Yorkshire – As myself and the team were having a break and debrief I was aware that the spirit of a monk had just walked to our position to advise me that we needed to be in the main church in five minutes. (at the exact time the spirit came to our position the EMF meter suddenly sprang into life and registered high electro magnetic field around the team).

I then explained what I had just seen and that we needed to be at the main church now.

As we all set-off walking towards the abbey church we could all clearly hear church bells ringing, even though there was no church for 15 miles and the fact that it was 2.00am! The exact same time the abbey Monks would have rung the bells to wake the other monks to attend their first church mass!

Also, as the investigation came to a close I was asked (by a spirit Monk) to go to the infirmary, although he did not say why?

As I walked through the main door into the infirmary some unknown substance, similar to dried herbs was blown onto my head and shoulders, however what makes this particular event strange was the fact that there was no wind, everyone in the team saw this happen and whatever landed on me completely disappeared.

I guessed they were dried herbs simply because they smelt of herbs and flowers. Also these dried herbs only landed on me and no other team member.

At this time I was 6 months pregnant and the monk then said it was their custom to throw onto or ask visitors to wear herbs to cleanse anyone entering the infirmary as not to catch any disease from the patients.

The Monk then explained this was done as a kind act and to say thank you for coming to visit the abbey.

This was also one of the most fascinating investigations that I have had the privilege to investigate with the Team.
