Paul Drake is a British psychic medium and paranormal investigator based in Stow, Lincolnshire.[1] He served as resident medium of Spirit Searchers during its active years (2004–2007), and founded his own investigation team, Paranormal Lincs, in 2003.

Spirit Searchers

Drake was one of the founding members of Spirit Searchers, the Lincolnshire-based investigation team active between 2004 and 2007, serving as the team's psychic medium throughout its operation.[2]

Paranormal Lincs

Drake founded Paranormal Lincs, a not-for-profit paranormal investigation team based in Lincolnshire, in 2003.[1]


By 2015, the group had grown to thirteen members with a notably varied range of backgrounds, including two world-record-holding deep-sea divers, three mediums, a counsellor and a printer, alongside Drake himself.[1] The group operates on a strictly not-for-profit basis and does not charge for its investigations, a point Drake and the team have repeatedly emphasised as central to their approach.[3]

Paranormal Lincs follows a structured, multi-stage investigation process: an initial visit to assess a reported location before any assumption of paranormal activity is made, a second visit to plan equipment placement, and a third full investigation intended to check earlier findings and rule out conventional explanations wherever possible — with the group only concluding a location is "active" after all three stages.[1]

Lincoln 1000

One of the group's notable projects, "Lincoln 1000," set out to document and update the historical record of paranormal activity across Lincoln and the surrounding area spanning roughly a thousand years.[1] As part of the project, the group identified the Green Dragon pub in Lincoln and the Charles I coffee house in Newark-on-Trent as among the most active locations they had investigated, while keeping the fuller findings of individual client investigations confidential.[1]
