Harvey More, a self‑taught paranormal investigator, reports that he has experienced unexplained phenomena during his fieldwork, including objects moving on their own and changes in temperature and scent at historic sites.
Before turning to the supernatural, More trained as an electrician, a background that he says provides a practical understanding of the equipment he uses in investigations.
The pandemic’s isolation led him to explore ghost‑related content on social media, sparking a curiosity that evolved into a full‑time pursuit of the paranormal.
During investigations, More and his team ask spirits to confirm their presence with audible cues. “We often hear taps, bangs, or even a distant humming that none of us heard in real time,” he explains.
One location that has drawn him repeatedly is a former 17th‑century burial ground turned public park near his home. He describes the site as having a persistent, unexplainable energy that yields new evidence with each visit.
Using a voice‑sensing device, More claims to have captured words related to crime, justice, water, and pipes. He later linked these terms to a buried attorney, Richard Jesson, who co‑founded a local waterworks company.
When he visited Jesson’s grave, More noted a significant drop in temperature and a strong, musky scent resembling incense, despite the absence of other people.
He says that many investigations do not end when the team leaves; instead, spirits sometimes attempt to draw them back. “When we turn our backs, items like twigs and stones are thrown at us,” he recounts, emphasizing the need for boundaries to protect investigators’ energy.
More’s most unsettling experience occurred at Cannock Chase, where he observed his car’s lock disengage and a mysterious light appear in the corner of his eye. The incident left him unsettled, especially because it occurred in complete darkness.
Despite these frightening moments, More finds comfort in his work. He says that connecting with spirits who have left a legacy provides a sense of peace and a deeper understanding of his own roots.
More’s investigations continue to blend technological tools with a disciplined approach to evidence collection, as he seeks to uncover and document the unseen forces that may inhabit historic sites.
