Meet The Team
Our team members come from diverse backgrounds and professions. Some have experienced the unexplained, while others are still seeking it.
What unites us is a shared passion for all things paranormal and spiritual. We believe this variety enriches our approach and allows us to explore the paranormal from multiple perspectives.
At W.A.S.P.S, our core values guide everything we do. We are committed to being friendly, honest, and transparent in all our interactions. Integrity, respect, and compassion are paramount towards the team, guests and also the venue and any of their in-house spirits.
We prioritise the safety of our team and participants at all times which also include looking after your wellbeing, so we will make extra care to look after anyone who is anxious or frightened.

I am Julie. One of the founders of W.A.S.P.S, We started in 2012 and never looked back, and I have been a spiritualist since 2008 although I have always been aware.

we thrive on truth and honesty and delivering the essence of spirt.

I am Jo... I have been a partner of the W.A.S.P.S journey since January 2016, having investigated with them as a guest for quite a few years before joining the team.
I love everything paranormal and am privileged to be able to contribute to such a fantastic and honest team that is more family than anything else.
we only get what we get, no scare tactics just genuine results.
Amy A
Hi, I'm Amy. I joined W.A.S.P.S back in 2016 and am one of the team's researchers.
I absolutely love finding out everything I can about the history of the venues we visit, and corroborating any evidence we get on our investigations. I've always loved the paranormal ever since I was a child, and nothing beats a good old ghost hunt!
What you see is what you get - all our experiences are genuine, which is something I've always loved about how W.A.S.P.S run their investigations.
Sharon
I'm one of the team researchers. I've been a member of W.A.S.P.S for a long time. I've seen a ghost, and had several experiences that I can't explain. With over 200 ghost hunts under my belt, I'm looking forward to being scared any day soon.
Rachael
Hi, my name is Rachael. I’ve been involved with W.A.S.P.S. for several years now—starting out as a guest before being invited to officially join the team about a year ago.
For a long time, I tried to ignore my spiritual side, often questioning whether what I was feeling, hearing, or sensing was real. However, my spirit guide is very persistent, and so now l am learning to embrace and work with the messages and experiences that come my way. I’m naturally empathetic and have the ability to sense energy and see auras.
Alongside supporting our events, I also help manage our social media pages and enjoy sharing our team’s journey with others.
The paranormal has always fascinated me, and I feel grateful to be part of a team that explores and respects the unknown with curiosity and understanding.
Liv
Hi, I'm Liv. I first discovered W.A.S.P.S. in 2024 when I joined one of their ghost hunts. I'd already experienced paranormal investigations before, but my first event with W.A.S.P.S. was something special, and I've never looked back. From that moment, my passion for paranormal investigation and connecting with the spirit world continued to grow. Since officially joining the W.A.S.P.S. team in February 2026, my confidence has grown tremendously—not only in myself but also in my mediumship abilities. The team has welcomed me like family, and I'm incredibly grateful to be part of such a supportive and encouraging group. My favourite form of investigation is mirror scrying, although I genuinely enjoy every aspect of paranormal investigating. I'm always eager to learn, embrace new experiences, and challenge myself to grow both spiritually and personally. Being part of W.A.S.P.S. has been an amazing journey, and I look forward to continuing to learn, develop, and help others explore the fascinating world of the paranormal.
Luke
Hi, I’m Luke, and I’ve been part of W.A.S.P.S. since 2023. I love every part of what we do — from trying to connect with spirits to meeting new people and sharing experiences along the way. I’ve always been fascinated by the unknown, and each investigation fuels that curiosity even more.
Karen
Hi I'm Karen, I started as a guest with W.A.S.P.S for about 8 years, and I've truly enjoyed every single venue. it was a great honour to be asked to join the team as their Spiritual Artist in may of this year.
I've had the ability to feel spirit since a very early age, and as I grew older I wanted to learn more and do more with this gift.
I settled on being a spiritual artist because I love nothing more than letting spirt come through and show themselves. Its a truly rewarding experience.
Sandra
Hi everyone, my name is Sandra and I have going to W.A.S.P.S events for several years. I love Chillingham Castle and have been going now for around 10yrs as guest. Last year I was asked to become team to which I said yes and jumped at the opportunity.
I work in the care industry and am able to bring care and experience to the team and offer support to our guests who feel they need a little comfort and grounding during our investigations.
Shelby
I'm Shelby, I love all things Paranormal and have been aware since a young age. I met Julie 12 years ago on my first investigation with the wasps team and haven't looked back since, the family dynamic of the team make each investigation a comfortable and safe experience and it was an honour to be asked to join the team. With each venue we explore and each investigation my curiosity for the spirit world grows more. I am a practising medium and have learned so much over the past few years, confidence in myself and spirit, to trust my spirit guides and to go into everything with an open mind.
Claire
Hi my name is Claire, I joined the team in 2025. I’m over the moon to be part of a fantastic team that feel like family. I love the paranormal and anything spooky, my favourite location so far is Chillingham castle, and look forward to visiting more places.
