Martin Gibson
Martin has had a healthy interest in the Paranormal world from childhood. He had an experience as a child, whilst in the company of his Mother and Sister, but he just couldn’t explain what they all felt. This sparked an interest in him to learn more and to try to find answers.
Martin joined the group in 2018, and has been on a steep learning curve since then.
Martin’s work experience, (in the MH Psychotherapy sector), allows him to bring a grounded level headed approach to the team. He uses his questioning skills during investigations to analyse any experiences or captures that the team get, trying to find reasonable explanations. He also has incredible people skills when dealing with vulnerable people in private cases.
Martin is also an internationally published writer and researcher, bringing his knowledge and insight of psychotherapy into understanding of human dynamics of people dealing with anomalous phenomena in cases.
Martin also uses his research skills working for production companies for tv series and documentaries.
Martin, along with his wife Caroline McKendrick -Gibson and Kristian Lander, co host the new podcast “The Unearthly Bureau”, where they cover hot topics and deep dive into the paranormal, anomalous, and all things Fortean, asking those hard hitting questions.
