Opening Doors to the Paranormal: The Power of Diversity and Inclusion with Wheely Haunted

1 hour 15 minutes

Today, we're delving into a subject that's often overlooked within the paranormal community – inclusion and accessibility. Our guest today, Jayne Mortimore, is the founder of "Wheely Haunted," a relatively new but growing voice in the paranormal world. Jayne has a powerful vision of transforming the way we approach paranormal investigations and historic site visits. She believes that inclusivity should be at the forefront, ensuring that people with disabilities, chronic illnesses, and sensory impairments have the same opportunity to explore haunted locations and experience the paranormal as everyone else. With her project, Wheely Haunted, Jayne aims to provide valuable insights, reviews, articles, and photos based on her own experiences at various locations. As their list of investigations grows, so does their commitment to normalising and raising awareness of disability, accessibility, diversity, and inclusivity within the paranormal field. Join us as we discuss how small changes can make significant differences and help everyone enjoy the paranormal to the fullest.

My Special Guest is Jayne Mortimore

Jayne works to raise awareness of accessibility and disability through the paranormal field. After suffering chronic illness for more than 20 years and her mobility succumbing to neurological problems, Jayne decided to embrace her powerchair and start a new project looking for accessible historical, heritage and listed locations to see which ones can be accessed and which can, or could change a few things, to make it possible for more, if not everyone to enjoy old spooky locations with a ghost story or two. After nearly 20 years of investigating and working with many famous and well known people within the paranormal field, Jayne is a respected investigator, adding a logical perspective to many misunderstood experiences. From TV to webseries, podcasting to film production, magazine production, event hosting and more, Jayne has much to offer in terms of experience and location accessibility advice which also ties in nicely with the Access Cornwall mission!

Enhancing Paranormal Understanding Through Inclusion

Incorporating individuals from diverse backgrounds, including those with sensory, mobility, or neurodivergent challenges, opens up rich opportunities to deepen our understanding of paranormal interactions. Their unique perspectives and sensitivities can unveil hidden aspects of the unexplained, enriching the field with fresh insights and a broader, more inclusive perspective on the supernatural.
