The Haunted Files
The Haunted Files is a British TV programme, first aired in early 2014. It follows the exploits of the A41 The Road to Discovery paranormal investigation team, South West England's premier investigation team in a "fly on the wall" type documentary as they go about their business proving, or disproving, paranormal phenomena at selected locations.

The team consists of two presenters (James Richardson and Annabelle Kennett)and two teams of investigators. Each team has a lead investigator, a medium, a historian and additional investigators. Each investigation is filmed live on the night, nothing is staged and the evidence is put before the viewer for them to make their own minds up.

The catch phrase for the team is "Real People, Real Ghosts, Real Fear" and that is exactly what you get

History of the Team
The Team can trace its history back to the late 1990's when James Richardson was leader of a Paranormal Investigation Team in Weston-super-Mare in Somerset, England. From there team members have come and gone until the group was reformed in its present structure as A41 The Road To Discovery in early 2013. The team mainly draws from local investigators although some of the team members do live outside of Weston-super-Mare itself.

As a group, they have investigated many places of interest including local theatres, churches and burial grounds with some very interesting results. In late 2013, a TV crew expressed an interest in documenting their work, and thus the TV show, The Haunted Files, was born.
