Welcome to OWNE

Otherworld North East (OWNE) is a not-for-profit investigation and research association whose aim is to collate and examine the physical evidence for ghosts and other alleged supernatural occurrences with an objective eye. OWNE is not an entertainment-based business, and do not run commercial ghost walks, nights or other similar events: we are not ghost-hunters, instead we simply seek to examine any physical evidence brought forward that is commonly perceived to belong to alleged supernatural phenomena.

Long exposure photography can create convincing apparitions - learn what telltale signs to look forWe operate via strict codes of conduct as a data collection unit, blending observation, psychological awareness, historical research and environmental data analysis. Where possible our intent is to employ the scientific method by generating and testing hypotheses and research questions in relation anomalous reports and experiences. We do not use alleged spiritual mediums, séances, talking boards or other more traditional techniques such as rod and pendulum dowsing during field investigations, as the reality is simply that such techniques would gain no useful information from a venue. We do however have an abiding interest in using such disciplines as a focus of investigation themselves. This website acts as an introduction to Otherworld North East, as well as a portal for useful information and access to our research articles and journals.

Study Area

Our main study area is the North East of England (County Durham, Tyne and Wear, Northumberland and Teesside) though we will consider investigating in other geographical areas (and have done in the past, including Cumbria, Edinburgh and North Wales).

Recording the physical environment is a must for later comparison

Field of Interest

Whilst the main focus of OWNE is to study alleged ghost sightings and associated phenomena, we do have a wide focus of interest that covers elements such as cryptozoology, parapsychology, exobiology, xenoarchaeology and more ‘down to earth’ disciplines such as archaeology, local history, psychology and physiology.

Dan Jones of OWNE investigating at the Angel View Inn, 2004The case of the Little Girl of the Angel View Inn began in mid-2004, when Otherworld North East founder Tony Liddell was researching material for the book Otherworld North East: Ghosts and Hauntings Explored (published by Newcastle City Libraries in October 2004). At the time of initial contact with the Inn’s owner, the Angel View Inn formerly the Old Barn at Eighton Banks, Tyne and Wear (overlooking the Angel of the North) seemed to be suffering repetitive symptoms many associate with a haunting, with witnesses including staff, the Inn’s owner and more importantly from the Inn’s business side of things, customers.
