Founder Member
I am an experienced spirit medium. I have had the gift of clairvoyance all my life but it has only been in the last 14 Years that I have been practicing my full range of mediumship. I have the ability to use clairvoyance, clairaudience and clairsentience which means I see, hear and feel spirit.
I am the resident medium at Leicester Guildhall, Belgrave Hall, Leicester Castle and other venues around Leicester.. I have done many investigations throughout my life and most recently with a local paranormal society with who reports of paranormal activity have been recorded. Whilst training for my mediumship I concentrated mainly on my senses although I also trained in healing, colours including auras, foods which heal and harm, reflexology, pressure points, human health and psychology. I can and do use all forms of divination.
Although I have had this gift all of my life I wanted to enhance my spiritual awareness.I therefore attended many courses held over several years at the Leicester progressive spiritualist Church in Lee Circle Leicester with some of the best medium and spiritualist Teachers around. These included John Sherwin, Richard Harris, Beryl Illstone (who is a teaching medium from the snu) Brian Gledhill, Shirley Smith and several others.
I am now a qualified Therapist and Parapsychologist in all aspects of unexplained phenomena and I have a diploma in parapsychology.
I have also worked and trained with Dudley Bak, A Teacher in psychic awareness at the adult education centre in Leicester. He was the secretary at the Spiritualist church when I met him some 15 years ago.
I have recently been involved with Ghost Chasers international USA who`s show is televised throughout the world on the Sci Fi channel,“GMTV”:http://www.gm.tv/ for haunted gardens in England and worked alongside Phil Whyman (Most Haunted), Cheshire paranormal society, Derby paranormal society, Sheffield paranormal society, Stratford paranormal society. Chesterfield paranormal society, paranormal tours, Ripp from Essex, Ghostly experiences from chesterfield, North West spirit seekers,Cepi,Paranormal nights,and Haunted happenings. I have been interviewed recently by BBC Radio Leicester for a number of programs one live with Derek Acorah and by media students from Leicester College with regard to my knowledge of paranormal activity.
I have had many things written about me and for me regarding the paranormal by the Leicester mercury. I have a journalist who calls me regarding anything new for news of the paranormal in the local rag.
I am also the person who designed the website.

I have been interested in the paranormal for some years now and, ever since I can remember, I have always wondered about the afterlife.I have become more interested in it since Most Haunted started and this is what made me start to get more involved with a paranormal society.My role within the group is one of location reporter,meaning I write most of the reports,which I enjoy.My other role is taking bookings and queries.I have been working with a few paranormal groups over a period of three years in which time groups have changed but, this is the strongest group to date.I have made some very good friends over the years with the paranormal groups that I have been part of,most of them are now members of this society.
As a paranormal investigator I have witnessed things that are quite outstanding and things that I could not put into words if I was to describe what I have seen,heard and felt I would have to say that you have to be there to believe it.
I have three children and one of them is also interested in the paranormal.He has been on a few investigations with us now.

Hello I am one of the new core team members for AAI. I’m a wife and mother of 4 girls aged between 7 and 8 months old. I have always been interested in the paranormal and lived in a haunted house as a child growing up and seen and felt many strange things over the years. My experiences have given me a passion for anything paranormal and I love attending the investigations even when being scared to death.
I am a very sociable and friendly person and I enjoy meeting new people who share the same interest as myself.
Other than the investgations I enjoy spending time with girls and my husband I am from a large very close family so we spend alot of time together and I have created a few paranormal addicts out of these too.
I love dancing and socialising with my friends or having girlie nights in with a bottle of wine and a take away.I have a great passion for reading too and anything to do with the tudor history.
My role within the AAI team is too help write reports for investigations I attend and to assist during meetings and auditing. I also have the role of arranging transport for investigations outside leicestershire and help with location arrangements.

Stella Powell Core member
I am another new addition to the core team. I have always been fascinated by all aspects of the paranormal and I did my first investigation in April 2008 with my daughter at the Guildhall in Leicester. Needless to say it scared us both to death and we couldn’t wait to do more. I have had a couple of personal experiences, one as a very young child, which started my interest in the paranormal and having done further investigations where I have seen, heard and felt things I could not explain, I more than ever want to find answers. I joined a spiritualist church to learn more about the spirit realm and spent some time working within a circle with varying degrees of success, I am also considering taking a course on paranormal investigating in the future. One drawback to all this is that I am quite afraid of the dark which leads to some very scary moments, but they do say you should face your fears and what better way to do it than a ghost hunt!
I enjoy the social aspect of the group and have made some good friends, you tend to get quite close to people when you are hanging on to them in the pitch black.
My role within the team is as support First Aider and I also help with photography, as I never stop taking pictures when I am on a vigil. I am looking forward to learning more on future investigations and, who knows, maybe I will get to photograph a full apparition.
I am married with one daughter and 3 grand children and my hobbies include anything paranormal, reading, gardening and walking/training the dog.
