Rob Kirkup

Born and bred in the north-east of England, Rob Kirkup is an author, paranormal historian, and a ghost hunter with over 20 years’ experience. His first foray into the world of paranormal investigations occurred on the scariest night of the year; Halloween, in 2002. Rob led a small team of fellow first-time investigators to the creepy wilderness of Talkin Tarn, an ancient glacial lake in Cumbria, after fortuitously being selected to be an on-the-spot ghost hunter for a late-night local radio show’s Halloween special.

Twenty years on, and Rob has spent countless hours researching alleged hauntings all over the UK. He has appeared on dozens of radio shows, written numerous newspaper and magazine articles, as well as obviously having the books published that appear on this very page.

Rob also hosts the popular "How Haunted?" podcast, available on all good podcast apps.
