The People Behind Paranormal Portal UK

Paranormal Portal UK is led by a small team of researchers and investigators united by a shared curiosity about unexplained phenomena and a commitment to examining such experiences with care, balance, and critical thinking.

Each member brings a different perspective and area of focus, but all share the same guiding principle: follow the evidence, question assumptions, and document findings responsibly.

Meet the Team

Luke Chester

Founder · Hauntings Specialist · Lead Researcher · Podcast Host

Luke’s interest in the paranormal began at a young age, shaped by early exposure to unexplained stories and programmes such as The X-Files and Ghostwatch. Like many of his generation, these influences sparked curiosity — but it was a later personal experience that pushed that curiosity beyond entertainment and into questioning.

Rather than accepting belief-driven explanations, Luke became increasingly focused on understanding how and why experiences are interpreted as paranormal. Over time, this led him towards structured investigation, logical analysis, and careful documentation.

As Paranormal Portal UK’s hauntings specialist and lead researcher, Luke approaches cases with consistency and restraint, placing emphasis on environmental factors, historical context, and alternative explanations before drawing conclusions.

“If you remove every possible explanation from an experience, then you are left with real evidence...”

Denis Prince

Co-Founder · UAP Specialist · Researcher · Podcast Co-Host

Den’s fascination with the unexplained began during his teenage years following an encounter that left him with more questions than answers. Early interest in space, aviation, and unexplained aerial phenomena gradually developed into a focused interest in UAP and how such reports are shaped by perception, technology, and environment.

Den approaches the paranormal from a data-driven and analytical standpoint, with particular attention paid to misidentification, atmospheric effects, and emerging technologies. While open to investigation, he maintains a disciplined approach rooted in evidence and verification.

“Even the unexplained can be explained if you dig deep enough...”
