BORLEY GHOST SOCIETY

Associate David Britland

I've been interested in the paranormal ever since I was a child, it paralleled an equal interest in conjuring, and I've been involved with magic and the supernatural ever since. Interest in Harry Price was almost inevitable!

I've written books on magic for magicians and worked as a researcher, writer and producer in British television. The television stuff includes Channel 4's alternative magic show, The Secret Cabaret and Granada's James Randi: Psychic Investigator.

For HTV I developed two series of Something Strange and a long running Meridian/Anglia series The Magic & Mystery Show, this before The X-Files turned the paranormal into a bandwagon.

Something Strange and Magic & Mystery were entertainment formats but I took a more serious look at the paranormal in several science documentaries developed for Channel 4's Equinox series. These included Superpowers, The Big Sleep and Secrets of the Psychics.

I contribute articles to Stan Allen's Magic magazine and am currently writing a book about the career of magician and "Man of Mystery" David Berglas as well as developing a number of television projects.
