Paranormal Or What?

I chat to Ian Varrow, who runs Residential Haunting; a private case team based in Hastings. Ian has been in the field for 30 years, having investigated with some of the big names in the paranormal. He grew up in a very active house and was also in the Paranormal Truth documentary, 'Ouija: Dicing With Death'.

He has been on many radio and podcast shows in the UK and USA and is featured in a book, 'Who Blew Out The Candles?' by Tessa Mauro from the Paranormal Prowlers podcast.

Ian co-hosts the Freaky Friday show on the Simply Spooky Network.
