Born from an idea, built on passion, backed by belief and made special by the people who stand behind it.
It all started one summer's evening in 2019. Just an idea. A little thought that turned into something much bigger than I could ever have imagined.
I remember thinking about bringing people together who shared the same fascination with the paranormal, the unknown, history and the possibility that perhaps there really is more to this world than meets the eye.
I never imagined that one little idea would grow into Retford Ghost Hunters UK. But every dream needs a little help to get off the ground, and this is where David comes into the story. Back then he was my boyfriend, and today he's my husband. David believed in my idea and helped fund Retford Ghost Hunters in those early days, giving me the backing to turn a little dream into something real. His belief in me and his support have been an important part of this journey, and I'll never forget that.
And then came our supporters. The people who joined us, believed in what we were doing, booked events, watched our livestreams, subscribed, shared our posts and helped us grow. You became part of something much bigger than just a paranormal investigation group.
What started as a thought soon became a passion, and that passion became a business, taking us to some incredible locations across the UK. From ancient castles and forgotten buildings to old hospitals, tunnels, inns and places with histories that send shivers down your spine.
There have been countless investigations, late nights, laughs, friendships, strange experiences, unforgettable moments and plenty of memories along the way.
It's not always been easy. Building something from nothing takes determination, hard work, plenty of graft and a belief in what you're doing. And I have to say, I really do have THE BEST TEAM AND SUPPORTERS EVER!
"RETFORD GHOST HUNTERS UK - BORN FROM AN IDEA, BUILT ON PASSION, BACKED BY BELIEF AND MADE SPECIAL BY THE PEOPLE WHO STAND BEHIND IT."
My team are more than just people I work with. They are a huge part of this journey. The people who stand alongside me, work hard behind the scenes, organise events, travel with us, share the laughs, put in the hours and help make every investigation what it is.
And our supporters? Absolutely priceless. Your loyalty, encouragement, friendships and belief in what we do mean more than you probably realise. I might have had the original idea back in 2019, but look at what we've built together. I'm proud of every single member of my team and every one of our supporters. You are part of the Retford Ghost Hunters family, and without you, we wouldn't be where we are today.
From one summer evening and one little idea to a community, a team and a business I am incredibly proud of. And as for what's next? Well... there's still plenty of history to uncover, darkness to explore and mysteries waiting to be investigated.
We investigate with positivity, light, respect and an open mind. No Ouija boards or dark arts - just honest, respectful paranormal exploration.
Our supporters aren't just viewers - they are part of the RGH family. Together we've built something far bigger than any investigation team.
Every location has a story. We research the history behind haunted places and honour the people who came before us.
From day one, RGH has been built on belief - belief in the unknown, in each other, and in the incredible power of a shared dream.
One summer's evening, Rachel had an idea to bring people together through a shared passion for the paranormal.
David believed in Rachel's vision and provided the financial backing to turn a little dream into a real community.
Supporters became followers, followers became a team, and RGH began investigating locations across the UK.
Today RGH is a team of 36 passionate people, hundreds of live streams, dozens of locations and an incredible extended family of supporters.
From investigators and mediums to data analysts and moderators, every single person plays a part in making Retford Ghost Hunters what it is. We're a family of unique personalities, all united by one thing: a passion for exploring the unknown.
