Please
Note: Sheffield Paranormal
Investigations is a NON PROFIT making organisation and is NOT
a business. We do run regular investigations with a team of up
to six people. Members of the public are allowed to join us on
our investigations if space allows and our insurance covers their
presence. There is NO CHARGE to the people that join us but they
will be expected to make their own travel arrangements. We do
not charge a fee for investigating private houses/ businesses
but a contribution towards fuel costs would be very welcome especially
if we have to travel a long distance.
We no longer conduct Ghost Hunt Nights in famous buildings (the
last one being 2006) as we refuse to pay the extortionate fees
asked by most of the managers, A
massive thank you to the loyal and trusted members who have stuck
by us from the early days and the many friends we have made along
the way, you really are appreciated guys.
The
Sheffield Paranormal Investigations team still exercises the
same professional approach it always has using a range of up
to date equipment. We are here to help.

Sheffield Paranormal Investigations was founded
by Brenda Diskin and Mick Timmins. Brenda is an
Accredited / Certificated Clairvoyant Deep Trance
Medium and Psychic who has appeared in press, on
radio and TV and has assisted the police and private
investigators in several murder and missing person
enquiries. We are a Sheffield based
group of paranormal investigators who are dedicated
to researching historical buildings and anomalies
to find out if ghosts and paranormal activity really
do exist. We aim to gather documented evidence to
support claims of this existence.From time to time
we conduct professionally organised psychic investigations
in various 'known to be haunted' places using a
wide range of scientific equipment. Details will
be posted to these pages. We also help with finding
lost people, pets and objects and assist with cleansing
your home or workplace of unwanted psychic/spiritual/paranormal
influences.
We will investigate any activity
that is causing anyone discomfort or concern whether
proven to be paranormal or otherwise. If you would
like a small team of investigators (3-4 people)
to come and check your property for any signs of
paranormal activity we are very happy to do this.
We also have bigger teams of investigators available
for larger buildings.
There are regular meetings with talks,
demonstrations and guest speakers. Brenda moved
from London to Sheffield in 2001 and Brenda &
Mick have conducted investigations together since
2002 around Yorkshire and Derbyshire and other parts
of the country. Some of the venues visited have
been Castles, Follies and Private Residences. Prior
to this Brenda has investigated various spirit activities
in London and the South of England for nearly 40
years and has many testimonials to confirm the quality
of her work. Former member of Society for Psychical
Research Kensington.
We welcome serious applications from
people who would like to join us on our investigations
or from anyone who has any paranormal activity or
history of hauntings that they would like investigated.
If you would like a link from our
page just Email us at SPI.
We go on a least one investigation
a week throughout the year some are new venues and
some are follow up visits. We visit outside venues
when weather permits. If you know of any areas of
activity we would be interested to hear about them
and maybe do an investigation. We do not write reports
about all the investigations as a lot of the time
very little occurs but we do keep copies of all
the footage. Any interesting photos are posted to
the appropriate page on this website.

Traitors Gate Tower of London
Did we find the Abominable
Snowman in Derbyshire? Or was it Gaz in his parka? Will
we ever know the truth? Lol!!
Prisoners entered
the Tower of London through the Traitors' Gate. The gate
was built by Edward I, to provide a water gate entrance
to the Tower, part of St. Thomas's Tower, which was designed
to provide additional accommodation for the royal family.
In the pool behind Traitors' Gate was an engine that was
used for raising water to a cistern on the roof of the White
Tower. The engine worked originally by the force of the
tide or by horsepower and eventually by steam. In 1724-6
it was adapted to drive machinery for boring gun barrels.
It was removed in the 1860s.
The name Traitors' Gate has been used since the early seventeenth
century, prisoners were brought by barge along the Thames,
passing under London Bridge, where the heads of recently
executed prisoners were displayed on pikes. Anne Boleyn,
Sir Thomas More, Queen Many TudorCatherine Howard, all entered
the Tower by Traitors'Gate.

Tip's Memorial
Joseph Tagg and his dog Tip were out on
Howden Moors in December 1953 when a blizzard descended.
It was not until 105 days later, in March 1954, that Joseph's
body was discovered, and at his side was his dog Tip,
starving but resolute in her devotion. 11 year old Tip
was given a home for the remaining two years of her life,
and after her death in 1955 public money paid for a memorial
stone to be erected commemorating her faithfulness

I would like to take this opportunity to point out that we do not
charge for anything that we do not have to pay for. We do not charge
a membership fee. We cover the cost of the website, insurance, postage,
stationary, admin, investigation equipment etc;ourselves. We sometimes
charge for entrance to a meeting, this is because we have a guest
speaker on that occasion and we like to cover their expenses. The
Ghost Hunt Nights are in places that charge us high fees as they have
to cover their overheads, staffing etc. We supply food, coffee and
tea, workshops, mediums and other entertainment to make it an enjoyable
night as anyone who has been on one with us will tell you. We expect
people to contribute towards fuel costs for lifts to and from venues
with other members. We do try to keep our prices down as far as possible.
