The Project:

The Haunted Swindon project is a partnership projected, managed and administrated by Paranormal Site Investigators.

PSI is working in partnership with the Borough Council, which is offering its expertise and co-operating over potentially haunted sites.

The project is also contributing to the Albion Project of the Association for the Scientific Study of Anomalous Phenomena.

The project also has an arrangement with the BBC website to publish findings to its BBC Wiltshire Ghost Hunting page.  The project also works with other local, regional and national media to promote Swindon's heritage.

The Role of Paranormal Site Investigators:

Where the project is contacted by potentially interested venues the project will establish if the venue is suitable for investigation by the PSI team.

Such investigations by the PSI team are scientific and research-based and reports tend to be held confidentially.  However PSI historian and online journalist Ken Taylor makes site histories available and produces reports for the BBC website.

The Role of the Borough Council:

The project is unique in that it is the only known partnership between local government and a paranormal research organisation.  The Borough is helping the project gain access to its potentially haunted sites.

Cllr Tomlinson, Swindon Borough Council Lead Member for Leisure, Culture & Recreation said:
"We are pleased to be working in partnership with PSI on this exciting project.
"Most people who live in Swindon are proud of our heritage, but this is an opportunity to celebrate that heritage. Interest in this area is at an all-time high and I think most of know enough people who have had experiences to know we should not rule out this sort of enquiry."
"We will be supporting PSI with their challenge to uncover and promote apparently haunted sites in the town."
