Marc Brindley is the founder of 2 Haunted Venues, and current co-owner. He is our Physical Medium* and here he will tell you a little about himself.
*Physical Medium will be explained in the FAQ section of this forum
I am the host and Physical Medium of the group. I have been interested in Spirit and the paranormal since being a very young child. I have had the ability to speak to those that have passed from this life and into the next since I was five years of age. Obviously I did not realise what I could do and it took many, many years for me to fully understand. I came from a fairly religious background and this was not the excepted thing so I hid it for a long time. I felt ashamed of it. Like an outcast. It was only when a family member suggested that I attend a local Spiritualist Church that the doorway was fully opened. When I originally started 2 haunted we was an investigation team and the people I worked with at that time had been amazing and completely dedicated to the cause and the truth about proving there was life after death. It was a pleasure to work with those investigators and I can never thank them enough for not only putting up with me but also showing me what trust is all about. However something was missing. The problem with being just an investigation team on a very limited budget is that you can never investigate the locations that you really want to do. The sheer cost of getting into these places rules this out and unless you have the finance behind you it is only a pipe dream. As 2 Haunted we struggled to get into anywhere apart from free locations like graveyards, woods and parks but this was not enough to get the evidence we wanted. That was when I came up with the idea of 2 Haunted Venues. The beauty of having guests come on our investigation nights is that it offers us the opportunity to finally pay to get into these much desired buildings and paranormal hotspots. Also it means that we have witnesses on the night when anything strange does occur and its proof that we are 100% genuine. We have nothing to hide. No fakery here. That has always been important to me. The team I now have are a professional, solid group of investigators that I trust completely. That is very important in this field. Trust. I know that whatever they do is for the best in our quest for evidence and they are totally trustworthy and do an amazing job. Without them I would be nothing. I love the paranormal and everything to do with Spirit and even negative energy like demonic. The whole subject matter fascinates me. For years I have wanted to spend my life proving that Spirit is REAL and now I am very lucky that I can do that. My biggest thanks not only goes to my wife Lou Brindley for tolerating me all these years but also my business partner and best friend Neil Packer. 2 Haunted Venues was struggling before he came in, there was no finance to buy the equipment that we needed and the passion in me was dying. I was losing faith. Neil however came in and turned the whole thing around and constantly pushes me to be the best I can be. A big thanks goes to him and the rest of the team for their hard work and dedication. I am looking forward to this year and the many to come and we are constantly growing and evolving all of the time. 2 Haunted Venues will one day be the number one group in the country and on everyone's lips. We get the evidence. We get the activity. We do not need to resort to cheap tricks and fake these things. Spirit wants to work with us and as long as we stick to our core values we as a team we will grow stronger and one day get that activity on film that will change everything. I am just happy to be along for the ride
