Litchfield Ghost Trackers
Harry was born in London in 1881. His first interest in the paranormal was in 1889 when he saw his first stage performance by a stage magician. He had his first encounter with the supernatural at the age of 15 when he and a friend locked themselves overnight in a house thought to be haunted.
By 1920, Harry had joined the SPR (Society for Psychical Research) and by that time had become Britain's most famous ghost investigator. He was also an expert magician and soon made a name for himself in the SPR by using his magician skills to debunk the fake psychics of his time. Harry also exposed the work of spirit photographer William Hope who was making a fortune from taking pictures of sitters and simingly allways one of their deseased relatives. Harry assembled a ghost hunting kit in the 1930s. Today, they are basically the same only updated.
Harry also did breakthrough work with the real psychics such as Stella Cranshaw. Harry also done one of the first ever radio broadcast from a haunted location. Harry's legacy left us with what today is our investigation kit which has changed somewhat since his day and time.
Harry Price died on March 29, 1948 at the age of 67 from a heart attack.
