Paul Hobday

Founder & Chair of the UK Paranormal Society

Paul Hobday is the founder and chair of the UK Paranormal Society – a brand-new charity launched in October 2022 to help protect the public and heritage locations from misinformation, malpractice and exploitation relating to the paranormal. The charity aims to provide a freely accessible resource of reliable, factual, unbiased information and guidance; encourage good ethical standards; and promote existing and future scientific research into the paranormal.

Originally from Bristol, England, the paranormal has been Paul's passion for many years, having undertaken countless paranormal investigations across the UK and Europe. He is open-minded to the various theories and beliefs behind the causes of paranormal activity, and has experienced phenomena for himself, but is still in search of answers as to what the cause of that phenomena might be - whether that is science, psychology, the supernatural, or something else.

Over the years, Paul has worked as an event host for one of the UK’s leading ghost hunting event companies, an event supervisor at Woodchester Mansion in Gloucestershire, established and led a paranormal investigation team, and has worked on various paranormal TV shows – the first being in 2010. He is best known for his role in the international TV series Ghost Chasers.
