Overview

Paranormal Rescue is an international emergency organisation specialising in dealing with serious, disturbing, and sometimes dangerous anomalous activity. We liken ourselves to being the fifth emergency service: Police, EMS, Fire, Breakdown, and Paranormal Rescue.

 

Our work also includes Unidentified Aerial Phenomena (UAP) cases and the often troubling aftermath of close encounters, as well as folklore- and legend-related phenomena that have become genuinely problematic or malevolent.

​

Our clients range from private individuals and homeowners to celebrities, hotels, landowners, and commercial organisations. What they all share is an urgent, baffling situation that demands professional help.

​

Client confidentiality is paramount. When public figures seek our assistance, they are fully protected by a strict confidentiality code. Unless a client explicitly waives this, identities are never disclosed.

​

Paranormal Rescue does not typically conduct traditional casual paranormal investigations. Instead, we are contacted by people already affected by serious activity. The cases we encounter are always disruptive and, at times, extremely dangerous.

​

When required, we consult a trusted international network of academics and specialist practitioners, including clergy, ministers, priests, shamans, representatives of diverse belief systems, and individuals with exceptional professional abilities. We also work closely with strategic partner organisations worldwide to ensure the highest level of support and to maintain our global reach.

​

A summary of our unique identity and modus operandi resonates in an analogy of a real-life fusion akin to Ghostbusters intertwined with the ethos of  Thunderbirds' International Rescue and The Equalizer, all enriched with a dash of Top Gear/Grand Tour Special flair. 

​​​​​​

Since its formation, Paranormal Rescue has garnered significant media attention in Britain and the USA, including BBC News, ITV's This Morning Show, Newsweek (USA), The Daily Mail, The Sun, and The Daily Mirror newspapers, Reader's Digest, Chat Magazine, Forbes Magazine, the Beast Seekers TV show's Snapchat (episode 18), and the Hubbard Network (USA), etc.

How and When Was Paranormal Rescue Formed?

Paranormal Rescue was founded in 2015 by Brian Sterling-Vete, PhD, a veteran researcher and field investigator specialising in both paranormal phenomena and Unidentified Aerial Phenomena (UAPs). With an exercise science background, an analytical mindset, and a lifelong fascination with mysteries, Brian set out to approach extraordinary problems with clarity, evidence, and practical solutions.

​

Over several decades, Brian personally experienced a wide range of anomalous events. These included multiple UAP encounters witnessed alongside credible observers such as police officers, military personnel, and public officials, as well as prolonged poltergeist activity, documented apparitional encounters in London, and a full-body apparition witnessed in the United States. He also led a large research team investigating persistent and intense anomalous activity at a historic English hall, where the scale of events prompted nearly three years of dedicated on-site research.

​

After a lifetime of first-hand experience, Brian chose to fully dedicate himself to researching paranormal and UAP phenomena and to helping those affected by them. His calm, no-nonsense, and often reassuring approach led to an increase in requests for assistance from individuals and even amateur investigation teams who found themselves overwhelmed.

​

These growing demands ultimately led to the formal creation of Paranormal Rescue. From its beginnings, the organisation naturally attracted skilled, like-minded professionals, forming a strong and capable core team. An interesting coincidence is that the UK-based team has evolved into an even split of British and American members.

What Does a Typical Deployment Comprise?

We are a UK-headquartered organisation with a global reach. This is because, to a certain extent, travel is sometimes possible, and we have a growing network of international team members, trusted partner organisations, and affiliates. 

However, due to certain limiting factors, such as caseload and the number of team members, we are not always able to deploy the entire core team to every case location. Furthermore, a full team deployment is not always required.

 

When necessary, we occasionally collaborate with trusted partner teams in the region where the client is located where one of our core team members will work with some local affiliates.

Since we cannot accept every case presented to us; this means that we only choose the cases that interest us the most.

Practical Deployment and Operational Function

This is a brief overview of how the Paranormal Rescue core and Away Teams operate in practical terms for both UK-based and international client case missions.

 

On international case missions, the team typically comprises its two founders, Brian Sterling-Vete and Helen Renée. They are referred to as the 'Away Team' and are supported by any required core team members back in the UK. However, under certain circumstances, if the case requires it and logistics allow it, additional people may join the Away Team.

The Away Team is typically further supported by the appropriate trusted partner affiliate team on or near the case location in the country concerned. Any specialists required for the case mission are identified and requested in advance.

During the investigations on the troubled locations, two factors combine. Factor one is that the required specialist team members in the UK convene for the entirety of the Away Team investigation either virtually, or in person. Factor two is that an Away Team is about to commence an investigation at a foreign location and a discussion is required. 

If an in person meeting is required we often use the Jester's Tower, which was built adjacent to the main structure of Conwy Castle and into its walls in 1283. In and of itself, this quirky, 742-year-old circular building has a long and rich history of reported paranormal phenomena.

From this point forward, when an intervention/investigation goes live, the Away Team communicates in real-time with the base. When combined with any specialists on location, the base team and Away Team work together to help solve the reported problems.

​​

A specialist core team member supports this real-time communication. He is US-based Airman 'C' who cannot be named because he is a former US Special Forces member of JSOC, based at Fort Bragg, North Carolina and a deployment communications specialist.

 

For those unfamiliar with JSOC, here is an overview. The Joint Special Operations Command (JSOC) is a joint component command of the United States Special Operations Command (USSOCOM). It is charged with studying special operations requirements and techniques to ensure interoperability and equipment standardisation, to plan and conduct special operations exercises and training, to develop joint special operations tactics, and to execute special operations missions worldwide.

​​Our Motto

'Per Mare, Per Terram, Utrinque Paratus; Si Vis Pacem, Para Bellum'

There is an intriguing story behind our motto, which resolved a significant paranormal problem a client was tormented by.
