Founder, Hauntings Specialist, Lead Researcher & Podcast Host

Luke Chester

Luke is the founder of South Coast Paranormal UK and host of the Paranormal Portal UK podcast. His passion for the paranormal was born out of a personal encounter during childhood—an experience that ignited a lifelong fascination with the unknown. Over the years, that early curiosity evolved into a dedicated mission: not just to seek answers, but to do so with logic, objectivity, and integrity.

Frustrated by the prevalence of pseudoscience and sensationalism in the field, Luke set out to approach paranormal investigation through rational thinking and meticulous research. As the team's hauntings specialist and lead investigator, he combines a deep respect for the unexplained with a methodical process designed to separate the credible from the incredible.

Luke’s philosophy is simple but powerful:
"If you remove every possible explanation from an experience, then you are left with real evidence..."

Through his work—whether leading investigations, writing articles, or hosting the podcast—Luke is committed to building a community grounded in respect, critical thinking, and a shared drive to uncover the real mysteries that lie just beyond the veil.

Denis Prince

Den is the co-founder of South Coast Paranormal UK and a regular guest on the Paranormal Portal UK podcast. His passion for the unexplained began in his youth, sparked by a chilling encounter with a possible apparition at the age of 15. Since then, Den’s journey has been driven by a relentless curiosity, with a special focus on UAP (Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena) and the mysteries that stretch beyond our world.

While the paranormal field often struggles under the weight of fantastical claims and misidentifications, Den believes that with rigorous investigation and a scientific mindset, even the murkiest mysteries can be unravelled. His approach is grounded but open-minded—always willing to explore even the most unbelievable possibilities if the evidence leads there.

Den’s philosophy captures his method perfectly:
"Even the unexplained can be explained if you dig deep enough..."

Whether he's diving into UAP cases, contributing research, or joining podcast discussions, Den’s commitment to evidence, data, and critical thinking ensures no stone is left unturned in South Coast Paranormal UK's pursuit of the truth.
