Delivering my ‘A Skeptic’s Guide to Ghost Hunting’ talk in 2024

Hi, my name is Hayley and I’m a ghost geek.

Here, I will explore the spooky parts of life, culture, and the media through psychology, critical thinking, and decades of hanging around in sceptic circles while actively investigating paranormal claims.

“You’re very convincing…”

Selina Scott, BBC Radio Two

Over the last twenty-something years I have investigated everything from haunted prisons and piers to UFO sightings, lake monster mysteries, and even the occasional fairy sighting. I use scientific scepticism as I try to get to the bottom of spooky mysteries and I love learning new things.
