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 month 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

CHARGES

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.
