Andy Guy

Scire Tech

Lost Soul Paracon welcomes Andy along to host our Paranormal Technology workshop.

 

SCIRE (pronounced “SKY-ER”) takes its name from the Latin word meaning “to know”, which forms the root of the word science. This powerful origin reflects our core mission: to expand our understanding of the paranormal through scientific investigation and technological innovation.

 

Founded by seasoned investigators Andy Guy and Beth Smith, SCIRE has been at the forefront of UK paranormal research since 2010. With over a decade of experience, Andy and Beth have explored countless reputedly haunted locations across the country, pushing the boundaries of traditional investigation methods.

 

At the heart of SCIRE’s approach is a commitment to data-driven inquiry. Using custom-built environmental data loggers strategically placed throughout investigation sites—as well as outside the location to establish control conditions—SCIRE captures and analyses environmental patterns. These patterns are then correlated with documented paranormal events, allowing for a deeper, more structured understanding of anomalies.
