A sceptic of the supernatural turned ghost-buster has set up a business to investigate the paranormal in Darlington. Madeline Cuff speaks to John Gibbon of Haunted Hunts

WE'VE all wondered if that strange noise was something more than a door creaking in the wind. John Gibbon, 41, is a man dedicated to finding out whether it was just a draught you felt on your face or something more sinister. He launched his Darlingtonbased business, Haunted Hunts, earlier this month.

Mr Gibbon started going to ghost hunts two years ago as a guest, and says he was initially sceptical.

"At my first hunt, I sat there thinking 'what a load of rubbish', " he said. But then his scepticism was put to the test. "I sat down in my seat and had a really strong emotional feeling, like I wanted to cry, " he said. "I found out later that someone had died in that seat.

I couldn't say whether that had anything to do with it, but I can't explain my reaction." Since then, Mr Gibbon has become a paranormal enthusiast, devoting himself to explorations of the "other side". He said he has learned from other hunts that have gone wrong.

"I've been on hunts when someone's pretended to be possessed in front of me, and you just think, that's so embarrassing, " said Mr Gibbon. "We are dedicated to proving the truth, even if that means debunking false sightings."

I would guess by "Business" they mean he's charging fees?????

If so it's rather unethical.

"I've been on hunts when someone's pretended to be possessed in front of me, and you just think, that's so embarrassing, " said Mr Gibbon.

This has happened enough that he has to mention it? Where was he? On the set of Most Haunted?

The article is just scary all the way around.
