Paranormal investigator claims he can smell ghosts while exploring haunted sites

Get you up to speed: ‘I’m a 23-year-old paranormal investigator and can smell ghosts’ | News UK
Harvey More, a 23-year-old paranormal investigator, reported experiencing supernatural events during his investigations in the West Midlands. He claimed that during one investigation at Cannock Chase, his car mysteriously unlocked itself, causing concern among his team.
Harvey More often conducts investigations at a former 17th-century burial ground, which is now a public park, and reports that he consistently receives evidence of the spiritual world during these visits. He has encountered phenomena such as unexplained changes in temperature and specific scents, which he claims can be linked to historical figures associated with the site.
Harvey More indicated that his paranormal investigations have provided comfort, especially following personal loss, stating, “Paranormal investigation brings me so much peace.” Looking ahead, he plans to continue exploring locations with reported spiritual activity, aiming to gather more evidence of the supernatural.
What remains unclear — The specific nature and identity of the spirits Harvey claims to have encountered and the evidence he has gathered remains unverified.
Paranormal investigator claims he can smell ghosts while exploring haunted sites
It’s an unusual career for someone who trained as an electrician.
But when Harvey More fell into a ghost-related TikTok hole during lockdown, he realised he was closer to the spirit world than he had originally thought.
Long before he began investigating haunted locations, he says he repeatedly saw a mysterious figure walking across the upstairs landing of his parents’ West Midlands home.
‘When I went upstairs onto the upstairs landing, I would see a man dressed all in black, walking from one bedroom door to another. It happened a few times, and I could hear unexplained footsteps outside my bedroom,’ the 23-year-old said.
It was Harvey’s first spiritual experience. When he told his parents, they told him that vicars used to live at the address, and that it was likely to be their spirits.
‘I thought, there is definitely another world out there that we don’t know about,’ he said.
‘That experience was just crazy. From there I have believed there is something out there, that there’s an afterlife.’
Harvey started watching paranormal live streams on TikTok during a boring lockdown and became intrigued.
He decided he wanted to find out more and immersed himself in learning about crystals, spiritualism and what he describes as alternative realities.
Today, the content creator spends his time investigating locations believed to be haunted, searching for evidence that spirits are still present.
Harvey believes he has witnessed things that cannot be explained.
‘I have seen apparitions, from white mists to black figures in the corner of the eye. But when you look, they vanish,’ he said.
‘And I’ve experienced random smells and scents coming up out of nowhere.’

After filming footage, he often notices noises on the edits that he didn’t originally hear.
‘You often hear taps and bangs that you didn’t hear at the time. You might hear a lady humming or a droning sound,’ Harvey added.
‘Once I heard a girl laughing when none of the team heard it. But when I edited I picked it up again. It is amazing the things you pick up.’
During investigations, Harvey and his team ask what they believe are spirits to make their presence known.
‘When they go on a hunt, they ask the spirit world to affirm their presence with a noise,’ Harvey, who hosts the Unexplained Mysteries Paranormal podcast,’ said.
‘Often we get unexplainable footsteps and knocks. You can tell when it is something paranormal. The majority of what we catch is supernatural.’
One location that continues to draw him back is a former 17th century burial ground near his home which has since become a public park where families picnic and children play.
‘I have always felt that there is an energy there that has called me to investigate. Every time you go there, you pick up new information, evidence of the spiritual world.’
Harvey says one investigation there produced what he considers some of his strongest evidence. Using a paranormal voice box, a handheld electronic device that paranormal investigators believe spirits use to manipulate radio signals, he started picking up words to do with crime, justice, water and pipes.
‘When I got back and started researching who I was connecting with. It emerged that Richard Jesson, who is buried there, was a well-known attorney. And he was one of the founders of South Staffs Waters, a water work company,’ Harvey said.
‘I couldn’t believe it. I always go to a location with an empty head with no background. Any information I get I then go back and research it. Nearly every time it links to historical records.’
He also visited the site of Jesson’s grave, where the temperature dropped ‘significantly’ and his team detected ‘a really strong, musky scent, almost like incense, even though nobody was around us’.
Harvey said investigations rarely end when the team decides to leave, as often spirits will try to pull them back.
‘There are some spirits that are reluctant to come forward and communicate, whether they’ve got low energy or they just don’t want to talk to us,’ he says.
‘But when we’re leaving the location, when we’ve turned our backs, things get thrown at us. I’ve had twigs, stones and other debris thrown as I tried to leave. That is the point of an investigation where we have to set up a boundary and say “no more”, because it takes our energy.’
His most frightening experience was at Cannock Chase, a Staffordshire beauty spot known for ghost stories and alleged sightings, where his car was unlocked while he was investigating.
‘I saw a light in the corner of my eye. And I saw my car unlocked itself. That frightened me. I thought, it’s messing with the car. If it wants your attention it can go to your property.
‘Thankfully the battery hadn’t gone flat. It was completely dark and we contemplated abandoning the investigation and going home. That will stay with me for the rest of my life because it was so bizarre.’
Despite the unsettling moments, Harvey says paranormal investigation has brought him comfort rather than fear, particularly after the death of someone close to him.
‘Paranormal investigation brings me so much peace. It’s not all scary and spooky. I have been able to contact spirits who have left a legacy. Being able to connect with roots of where I am from is comforting,’ he said.
British activists report feeling trapped on ship captured by Icelandic forces

Get you up to speed: British activists ‘terrified’ and trapped on board ship captured by Iceland | News World
British activists, including two from the Captain Paul Watson Foundation, are trapped aboard the protest vessel Bandero, which was seized by armed officers off the coast of Iceland last week. The crew, comprised of 21 members, claims they are being mistreated and have limited access to basic necessities and legal representation.
The Icelandic Coast Guard stated that the investigation into the incident is ongoing, with the Capital Area Police now responsible for the case. Authorities have indicated that the crew is expected to face deportation, pending a decision by the Directorate of Immigration.
Iceland’s Ministry of Justice confirmed that the case involving the Bandero crew is under investigation, stating, “Should members of the crew believe their rights have been violated, they can submit a complaint to the Police Monitoring Committee.” Meanwhile, the Icelandic police have announced plans to deport the activists and ban them from re-entering the country, pending a decision by the Directorate of Immigration.
What remains unclear — It is not clear when the deportation of the crew from Iceland will occur or what legal recourse they may have regarding their treatment.
British activists report feeling trapped on ship captured by Icelandic forces
British activists are among 21 crew members who say they are trapped on board a ship that was captured by Iceland last week.
The protest vessel Bandero was boarded by armed officers late on Thursday after it tried to stop an Icelandic ship from hunting whales.
The campaigners, from the Captain Paul Watson Foundation, claim they are being mistreated by the Nordic country and not allowed to leave the ship.
The activists – including two Brits – allege they are running out of supplies, being denied access to their chosen lawyers and blocked from calling loved ones.

WTX spoke to Manolya Adan, 36, a British marine environmentalist trapped on board, using a laptop officers did not confiscate.

She said of her capture: ‘It was terrifying and incredibly dramatic. It was also unnecessary.
‘It feels like everything is stacked against us. We do not know what is going to happen next.
‘Iceland is credited for having the best prison system in the world but what we have faced doesn’t scream the civilization that we’re promised.’
The Bandero was pursued by the Icelandic Coast Guard after it deployed a small boat to intercept a whaling vessel Hvalur 9.
Commercial whaling, which involves hunting and killing whales, has been banned around the world since 1986 but Iceland is one of three countries which continues the controversial practice.
The country’s Coast Guard said the Hvalur 9 requested assistance and that the Bandero ignored instructions to leave Icelandic waters.
Icelandic special forces then boarded the anti-whaling vessel, from the Captain Watson Foundation, around midnight and detained it.
Manolya, a spokesperson for the crew, said: ‘They boarded a moving ship – it was pretty scary. We were on the way out [of Icelandic waters].

‘They were armed to the teeth’
‘They were armed to the teeth. The captain called us all and made sure we were all together on the bridge.’
The marine biologist claims officers confiscated the mobile phones of the crew and hauled the boat to a port in the capital, Reykjavík.
The crew alleges they are now blocked from leaving the Bandero in worsening conditions, except for when they are taken out for police interrogations.
‘We’re absolutely not allowed to leave the ship, Manolya added.
‘They are guarding us and there is a huge warship still beside us.
‘We’ve been told that we need to be here for four weeks, although we have also been told we will be deported immediately.
‘The authorities have given us absolutely nothing. We really are running out of fresh produce.’
The crew – who come from various countries – claim they are unable to flush the toilets because they are not getting enough tank disposal.
They allege that officers have treated them in ways that ‘raise serious legal and human rights concerns’.
The Captain Paul Watson Foundation claims personnel were forced to hand over their phone and denied the right to call a loved one.

Manolya added that officers allegedly ‘blackmailed’ crew by asking them to hand over their mobile phone pin codes in return for a phone call.
The Foundation also claims the lawyers they organised to represent the crew have not been allowed on board.
Instead, the personnel have been forced to use lawyers appointed by officers.
Recalling her police interrogation, Manolya claimed: ‘They had pieces of paper written in Icelandic which had already been printed out.
‘They were pushing me to sign things that I did not understand. I felt coerced and I signed it because I was exhausted.
‘I had an English translator who tried his best but other members of the crew did not have the relevant translator with them.’
The activist alleges that a female crew member was observed as she slept by an armed officer, while three others were made to wait in their underwear for hours in an Icelandic cell.
Manolya continued: ‘It is difficult. We don’t know what is going on. Everyone is really frustrated.
‘The crew is very lucky to have each other. There is a real sentiment of camaraderie. We are having to fend for ourselves with what we have.’

Icelandic national broadcaster RUV has reported that police will seek to deport the crew and ban them from returning to Iceland.
Lucien Richardson, a British-French citizen on the Bandero, also told WTX: ‘We have been illegally detained on the Bandero.
‘Because we are not allowed on Icelandic territory we are stuck here on the boat.
‘We have not allowed access to our phones, they have been confiscated.
‘We could not call a lawyer or our family and loved ones.’
WTX understands the Foreign Office is aware of the Brits stuck on board the Bandero.
The crew are most frustrated that they cannot continue their anti-whaling activitis.
Iceland still permits the hunting and killing of whales, and the country exports most of its whale meat to Japan.
What has Iceland said?
In a statement provided to WTX, Iceland’s Ministry of Justice said: ‘Since the situation began earlier this summer, it has been made clear that the Icelandic Coast Guard would, if necessary, exercise the powers available to it should circumstances require.
‘The operation carried out on Thursday evening was one of the scenarios that had been planned for. It was executed successfully, no one was injured, and Bandero has now arrived in Reykjavík harbour, where the Capital Area Police assumed responsibility for the case.
‘The matter concerned not only the safety of the crews aboard the whaling vessels, but also the crew of Bandero.
‘The case is being investigated in the same manner as any other criminal investigation, and it is essential that the rights of the suspects are fully respected throughout the process. Should members of the crew believe their rights have been violated, they can submit a complaint to the Police Monitoring Committee. According to information provided by the police, legal counsel was appointed for every member of the Bandero crew, as required by law, and arrangements were made to ensure that an interpreter was present.
‘It has been reported in the Icelandic media that the crew has been informed that they are to be deported from Iceland, pending a decision by the Directorate of Immigration.
‘Beyond this, the Ministry is unable to comment on individual aspects of the case.’
The statement continued: ‘Iceland has consistently advocated sustainable utilisation of living marine resource and, with regard to whaling, maintains a science-based and strictly regulated approach.
‘The existing legal framework remains in force under the Whaling Act No. 26/1949 and the regulations issued thereunder. The total permitted catch is set in accordance with the advice of the Marine and Freshwater Research Institute and has been reduced for 2026 compared to previous years.
‘The Minister of Industries has commissioned a comprehensive review of the legislative framework.’

Paul Watson, 75, who founded the group, is not on board the Bandero but has had previous confrontations with whaling vessels which have drawn celebrity support.
Watson was imprisoned in Greenland for five months in 2024 after being arrested on a Japanese warrant over charges of obstructing a whaling ship in 2010.
Manolya said the crew felt ‘hopeless’ they could not stop whaling while they were detained in Reykjavík.
She added: ‘We are here to protect the whales, and there is nothing we can do to control the barbaric practice’.
Iceland has previously been praised for how it looks after its prisoners.
A recent study by a University of Portsmouth professor found prisoners were provided with ‘provide[d] tranquillity and good food’, internet access and were paid substantially more than in other countries.

Shocking video shows Russian drone hunting civilian at Kherson market
Published on
Ukraine’s National Police released a shocking video on Tuesday showing a Russian drone deliberately hunting down a civilian man at a farmers’ market in Kherson, calling it another war crime.
“This is exactly how the Russians are fighting their war — they deliberately target civilians,” the police said in a Telegram post, noting that the man in the video “shows no signs of being a combatant, he is simply selling vegetables and fruit at the market.”
“However, for the armed forces of the aggressor country, he is still a target.”
The 52-year old, who was selling vegetables survived the attack but suffered blast injuries, shrapnel wounds and concussion, police said.
Law enforcement agencies said they were working to document “yet another war crime” committed by Russian forces.
President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said the footage was another example of what he called Russian “drone safari” against civilians in Kherson, adding that Moscow’s forces showed “zero regret” and even boasted about the attack.
“A Russian drone deliberately hunted down a man selling vegetables and detonated right next to him,” he said, adding that Russian forces had “even admitted to the crime.”
He said the world must see the evidence of Russia’s campaign against civilians and back stronger pressure, security guarantees and efforts to curb its ability to wage war.
Police said Russian forces have been using drones against civilians, vehicles, public transport and emergency workers in Kherson almost daily.
They said 18 civilians were injured and two killed in Kherson region on Sunday alone.
The Kherson region remains partially occupied by Russian forces on the left bank of the Dnipro River.
Kherson city, on the opposite bank, is under constant attack because of its proximity to occupied territory and the limits of Ukrainian air defences.
Improvised anti-drone netting now cover major roads leading into the city centre.
Wenger says he was unaware of Infantino’s FIFA plan to sell World Cup stakes
12:00 pm
Get you up to speed: Ex-Arsenal boss Wenger was ‘not aware’ of Infantino’s FIFA plan
FIFA president Gianni Infantino withdrew a proposal to sell stakes in future World Cup profits after widespread backlash from global football officials, including UEFA. UEFA confirmed it had sent a preservation letter to FIFA regarding potential evidence related to the plan.
UEFA has initiated a legal preservation request to FIFA regarding communications involving 18 executives, including Wenger, but has not commented further on the matter. FIFA will continue its operations under the current funding structure, with member federations set to receive increased financing of $20 million each due to the success of the recent North America World Cup.
FIFA executive Arsène Wenger has publicly supported the decision to retract Gianni Infantino’s plan to sell stakes in World Cup profits, declaring it “absolutely necessary” for maintaining FIFA’s integrity. UEFA has confirmed it issued a preservation letter to FIFA, demanding retention of data, including communications from Wenger among others, as it assesses the situation further.
What remains unclear — It is not specified how FIFA plans to address the backlash from global football officials and organisations following the withdrawal of Infantino’s proposal.

FIFA executive Arsene Wenger backs decision to drop FIFA President Gianni Infantino’s World Cup sell-off plan.
Published On 4 Aug 20264 Aug 2026
Published On 4 Aug 20264 Aug 2026FIFA executive Arsene Wenger has distanced himself from President Gianni Infantino’s failed plan to sell stakes in future World Cup profits to private investors and says it was “absolutely necessary” to drop the proposal.
Wenger’s statement on Tuesday on the controversy came after a preservation letter from UEFA, confirmed to WTX News by European football’s governing body, was sent to FIFA, the world governing body.
Upon confirming the legal request was sent, UEFA said it would be making “no further comment at this stage”.
The Associated Press news agency, however, has reported that it has seen a letter from lawyers representing UEFA that has named Wenger, the French coaching great, among 18 executives whose data and communications should be retained as potential evidence.
“I was not involved in this strategic plan and first became aware of the project through media reports,” said Wenger, who was hired by Infantino in 2019 and is FIFA’s chief of global football development.
The statement by the former Arsenal coach did not name Infantino and comes after a weeklong furore across world football.
“The decision to withdraw the project was absolutely necessary and beyond question, because I firmly believe in an independent FIFA that serves our game with commitment, transparency, and integrity,” Wenger wrote.
Infantino withdrew his $20bn proposal early on Saturday after a furious backlash by global football officials and organisations, including UEFA warning of a boycott of all FIFA games and events.
The plan would have created a subsidiary, known as FIFA Forward Enterprise (FFE), to run the money-making parts of the nonprofit football body’s work, including organising tournaments like the World Cup and selling broadcasting and sponsorship rights and tickets.
It proposed raising $4.2bn from investors by selling stakes amounting to about 20 percent in FFE, based on an equity valuation of $20bn.
The “anchor investor” would have been Thrive Eternal, launched by Joshua Kushner, whose brother, Jared Kushner, is a son-in-law of United States President Donald Trump.
FIFA’s 211 member federations – already the essential owners of the governing body as a nonprofit association under Swiss law – were offered $20m each. The deadline to accept was September 19.
They also were promised a doubling of their FIFA funding for the four years through 2030 to $20m instead of the previously announced $10m.
Infantino shared details of the project to FIFA management just one week after the July 19 final of the financially successful World Cup in North America that drove FIFA’s revenues to $15bn for the 2023-2026 commercial cycle, almost double the income tied to the 2022 World Cup in Qatar.
Wenger said his FIFA duties were to “oversee the data analysis of the game, the FIFA online training centre, the development of youth education through 60 academies across 60 countries where they are most needed, and youth competitions around the world”.

Get you up to speed: Trump raises concerns over campaign in call with Rep. Max Miller amid abuse allegations
President Trump raised concerns about Ohio Republican Rep. Max Miller’s reelection campaign following allegations of assault against his ex-wife, Emily Moreno, and their daughter. Miller denied the allegations and stated he has no intention of withdrawing from the race, as he believes his campaign remains strong.
Emily Moreno has sought a restraining order against Max Miller, alleging repeated physical and verbal altercations with her attorney amid their ongoing custody dispute. Miller, who is campaigning for a third term in Congress, has denied the allegations and maintains that he remains confident in his position leading up to the November general election against Democratic nominee Brian Poindexter.
President Trump expressed concerns about Rep. Max Miller’s reelection campaign amid allegations of domestic violence but Miller confirmed he intends to continue running, citing strong internal polling. Senator Bernie Moreno stated that Miller’s behaviour disqualifies him from serving in Congress and called for psychological evaluation, highlighting the need for safety and accountability.
What remains unclear — The exact nature and outcome of the ongoing custody dispute between Max Miller and Emily Moreno remain unresolved.
Trump expresses concerns over Max Miller’s campaign amid abuse allegations
President Trump called Rep. Max Miller on Monday and raised concerns about the Ohio Republican’s reelection campaign following allegations Miller assaulted his ex-wife, Emily Moreno, and their 2-year-old daughter, two sources directly familiar with the call confirmed to WTX US News.
Miller, who has adamantly denied the allegations, told the president he has no plans to leave the race, according to one of the sources. Miller pointed to his campaign’s internal polling, telling Mr. Trump it showed his campaign in a strong position for reelection.
The call was first reported by Axios.
A source close to the Miller campaign told WTX US News the campaign’s internal polling has shown Miller ahead, despite the allegations that have engulfed the campaign in recent weeks. WTX US News has not independently verified the polling.
In a statement to WTX US News, Miller said:
“If I dropped out of this race, it would mean we as a nation have fallen so far from our American values. I will not validate false claims by removing myself just to please the court of public opinion. I am innocent of all of the allegations that have been attributed to me. I have done well representing my constituents’ interests. Why would I drop out?”
Moreno, who is the daughter of GOP Sen. Bernie Moreno of Ohio, has accused Miller in court papers and police reports of throwing her against a wall during a February custody exchange and causing their daughter to suffer a clavicle fracture and handprint-shaped bruise. She also alleged that Miller threw hot water at her in 2024 and pointed a gun at her last year.
Emily Moreno asked a court last week to issue a restraining order blocking Miller from contacting her lawyer. She alleged in court filings that Miller has repeatedly had physical and verbal altercations with her attorney amid an ongoing custody fight over their young daughter. Miller and Moreno, who were married between 2022 and 2025, have court-ordered restraining orders against each other.
Miller has denied the allegations and accused his ex-wife of defaming him and abusing their daughter herself. In a livestream Sunday on X, he suggested the timing of the allegations was meant to impact the ongoing custody battle. He argued his ex-wife has engaged in a pattern of reporting “serious and destructive allegations with absolutely no evidence.”
“These are incredibly serious criminal accusations, and if these accusations were true, I would be in jail,” Miller said Sunday. He pointed to an April letter from county investigators closing a probe into whether he physically abused his daughter in February, calling the allegation “unsubstantiated.”
Stefan Mychajliw, a spokesman for Emily Moreno, called Miller’s livestream “shameful” and “lie-filled.”
“There is a documented trove of evidence that Miller has a history of violent and dangerous behavior and no amount of victim shaming will change that,” Mychajliw said in a statement. “Miller can lie and spin on X, but he cannot do so under oath in a court of law. We are confident that justice will prevail in court.”
Miller is seeking a third term in Congress. He ran unopposed in the Republican primary for his district and is set to face off against Democratic nominee Brian Poindexter in the general election in November.
Sen. Moreno said over the weekend his ex-son-in-law should no longer serve in Congress over the allegations.
“If there are any basic standards of character required to hold elected office, Max Miller fails them,” the senator said Sunday in a post on X. “He should not serve in the House of Representatives.”
Sen. Moreno said he had hoped to keep the matter private, but that “Max Miller’s increasingly erratic and dangerous behavior has made that impossible.”
The senator said that Miller “needs serious psychological help” and called him a “danger to my daughter.”
“I believe Max Miller needs to seek professional help to end the clear pattern of abuse he has left in his wake,” Sen. Moreno wrote. “I believe he should not be free to continue endangering others until he does.”
