Spirit Searchers was a UK-based paranormal investigations team active from May 2004 to 2007, and a precursor to the Society of Paranormal Studies (SPS). Its co-founding members included Gary JJ Spate, Sadie Ingoldby-Spate, Neil Smith, Tanya Smith, Matt McKiernan, Susan Shreeve, Jody Shreeve, psychic medium Paul Drake, and Gary Adams.
Notable investigations
In 2005, the team visited Alex Birch at his home following his own reports of paranormal activity on the property. During the visit, Birch identified himself to the team as the man behind the 1962 UFO photograph taken in Mosborough, and separately described having been visited by figures he identified as the UK's equivalent of the Men in Black, said to have worn conventional black suits. The team's investigation of the property did not detect any paranormal activity.
Legacy
Spirit Searchers closed in 2007, with Gary JJ Spate and Sadie Ingoldby-Spate going on to found the Society of Paranormal Studies, continuing the investigative work of the earlier team.
