Claire Barrand

Hello! Thank you for showing an interest in my work. I am an Author of Supernatural Fiction, a Paranormal researcher, and blog writer from Abergavenny South Wales U.K. The bar at the top of the page will navigate you through more of my writing.

The Paranormal has always been part of my life and I saw my first apparition of a ghost age 12. My parents were antique dealers and we lived in a shop full of artifacts, some of which I believe were haunted. Being the landlady of a Haunted Pub called "The White Hart" in Bristol for two years was interesting too...

Always curious I love to find out the history of the places I live in and investigate, which has to lead me to research and actively investigate the Paranormal, Myths, and Legends, Folklore, and Dark History, full-time.

My first book "Dead Haunted" was released in December 2017 and is a collection of short stories based on true life events, these are news stories that I have found during my research into Welsh news archives. Quite often during the 1800's and 1900's news reports were graphically written. Dark matters such as suicide and murder were written about with little investigation into how they occurred, and I have used these stories to inspire my imagination into what may have happened, with of course a supernatural twist to each tale. I hope you enjoy them and I plan to write many more.

I also write for many publications such as Haunted Magazine, Paranormal Magazine, Spooky-Isles.com, and write about spooky matters for local Welsh Newspapers such as The Abergavenny Chronicle and The Cambrian News.

In 2017 I co-hosted Dead Creepy Podcast, a fun and light-hearted paranormal talk show with my sister Linzi Smith, we had great fun and the podcast has been a great success! You can hear me narrate some creepy dark stories from the web on there too!
