Research areas of interest include human factors in the experiencing of anomalous phenomena and the role of the subconscious in creating or eliciting phenomena.

Groups Officer		Lee Norton : Groups Officer : Email address
		I have been an enthusiastic member of ASSAP for over ten years. My main interest lies in psychic phenomena but I am fascinated by the whole spectrum of the anomalous. As chairman of my local Plymouth group, I have organised various research, investigation and social activities. I am a firm believer in encouraging co-operation and idea sharing between groups.
Membership		Kevin Griffiths-Boden: Membership Secretary: Email address
		Kevin joined ASSAP in 1996 and became an AI (accredited investigator) the following year. After gaining knowledge and experience with another ASSAP affiliated group, he decided to form Ghanon (www.ghanon.org) with co-founder Julian Perkins in 2004. During his time as an investigator, he has been involved in radio broadcasts, appeared in newspaper articles and assisted the BBC with a documentary that has been shown on national television. Kevin is married with two children and currently works as an IT Technical Support Analyst.
Media		Carrie Searley: Media Officer: Email address
		I have always held a great interest in the perplexing world of the paranormal for over 20 years now, and even more so after having several unbelievable experiences with a local medium. I soon became an active ASSAP member 5 years ago after reading an article about our organisation in a well known woman’s magazine. It was then that I found 2 other members in the Dorset area whom I have become very fond of and have forged strong relationships with. Not only does every investigation present us with many frustrations and unexplained frivolities, we also get to meet new faces, make new friends and take a light hearted approach when the going gets tough at 3am in the morning. As well as being the new Media Officer, I have been the Equipment Officer on and off now for 3 years. In that role I keep track of ASSAP’s equipment pool and to ensure that members get what they need for their vigils. As well as being a mother of a demanding 2 year old, I work as a Private Investigator and portrait photographer. Other hobbies include song writing, boating and hold a great interest in mediumship and Ouija.
Treasurer		Wendy Milner: Treasurer: Email address
		Wendy Milner was born in an apparently haunted council house and has been sceptical ever since. However, she has retained her fascination for the anomalous and has become a seeker of a more scientific explanation for what she has experienced. A member of ASSAP for 9 years, she has been investigating and researching possible paranormal events with ASSAP for the last 5 and is also an honorary member of the Ghost Club. She is currently the Anomaly front cover artist and, in fact, most of her time is occupied with illustration these days. She was formerly Groups Officer as well as serving as Vice Chairman for a year.
Library		Terry Porter: Archives: Email address
		A life long interest in things weird and wonderful has led me to this position as ASSAP librarian. I live in a supposedly haunted 200 year old mill worker's cottage in the deepest, wildest part of Derbyshire. I also have a love of books and one of the strangest senses of humour known to mankind. I have just been appointed town crier for Belper and am now looking forward to being able to shout my head off in the middle of the street and not get into trouble for it.
