NGI Blogs - Mark
Mark ("doktor_phibes") has been a member of Northern Ghost Investigations since May 2008. He's one of our investigators and takes on top of that of making sure all the baseline and other readings are carried out when on an investigation. Oh, and tries to make sure the rest of NGI do their bit too.
He's a big paranormal buff - and he'll read and watch anything to do with the paranormal - yes, we mean anything - you only have to look at his book and DVD collection to see some of the guff he's got! But he certainly knows his stuff on the subject.
