The Team

PRI UK was set up by Andy Wilson and Nick Howe following years of researching and investigating the paranormal. Both had experienced anomalous events for which there appeared to be no rational explanation, what also became apparent was that family, friends and work colleagues had similar experiences which were equally baffling.

Unsurprisingly then, a national daily newspaper reported in July 2015 that 82% of Britons believe in the supernatural, 68% say they have experienced a supernatural event and 56% have had some sort of contact from a bereaved loved one.

That said, Andy and Nick’s shared opinion is that despite this wide spread belief science lacks a broad minded approach to the paranormal and generally rejects the idea that these unexplained events could occur. This lack of empathy has some basis: discredited mediums, sensation seeking TV programmes, commercial paranormal events groups claiming that every noise is an intelligent response from beyond, the list goes on.

Andy and Nick's view is that a more rational approach has to be taken, one which respects the client's opinions and privacy. By investigating and recording events it may be possible to collect enough reliable evidence/information to form theories that have credibility. Equally as important, they hope to help clients who are distressed by the events going on around them.

Based in London, PRI UK can travel to locations further afield.

Andy Wilson

Andy’s interest in the paranormal started early in his childhood after some personal experiences which could not be explained rationally. Since the 1980s Andy has been researching the paranormal & is involved in regular investigations. During this time his understanding has evolved to incorporate a more rational and scientific approach. Andy is also a member of ASSAP and the Ghost Club.

Nick Howe

Nick’s involvement with the paranormal developed through an interest in religion and by coupling this with personal experiences he was staggered by the number of events family, friends and acquaintances also experienced. On retirement he felt it was time to devote more time to studying this which culminated in the formation of PRI UK. Nick is also a member of ASSAP, the Ghost Club and NRPI approved (National Registerof Professional Investigators).

Nick Terrell

Nick has been interested in the paranormal since the age of 11 when he discovered there really were so called ‘ghosts ’ located throughout the country and not just things to scare kids with. Joining the Ghost Club put Nick on a more serious journey and the friends he made there are now this collective. "We have caught and heard lots of things we can’t explain but I think the equipment being developed may lead to finding evidence of ghost, but what they are is another thing".

James Hanley

For as long as he can remember James has always been interested in the supernatural which was the term most used back then. He has had a number of personal experiences (what may be now classified as paranormal) in his lifetime including witnessing two apparitions. James believes the weight of evidence over centuries suggests that these events are genuine but the causes can only be uncovered through continual research and investigation. James is also a member of The SPR, ASSAP, the Ghost Club and NRPI approved (National Registerof Professional Investigators).
