HELLO, MY NAME IS ALAN MURDIE
AND WELCOME TO MY WEBSITE.
My day job is a lawyer, but my night job is much more interesting.
I am chairman of the Ghost Club (founded 1862) and I investigate cases of ghosts, poltergeists and the survival of consciousness after death and bodily dissolution.
For over thirty years I have investigated cases of ghosts and hauntings both in Britain and around the world, seeking to apply skills and techniques used in courts and tribunals for assessing evidence and finding out the truth.
In my website I share details of some of my investigations past and present, together with some of my own ideas about ghosts and the paranormal after many years.
Since 2006 I’ve written a monthly column ‘Ghostwatch’ for Fortean Times magazine on the latest things in ghosts. You can find some of these columns here along with details of books both written and edited by me along with details of my new projects.
Over the years I’ve also benefitted from the work of a number of leading figures in the field and I have pleased to share some details here as a tribute to their work. I am quite convinced certain paranormal phenomena are a reality and are proven beyond reasonable doubt to a standard that would satisfy a court or tribunal at law. Others remain uncertain and yet others look destined to stay a mystery.
You can read about them all here.
