Neil Nixon

Neil Nixon has been interested in the paranormal for as long as he’s been interested in anything. He’s spent his life researching, writing and presenting on a range of paranormal subjects though this really took off in 2019 when he managed to ditch a decades long academic career and increase his paranormal work. Recent books include UFOs, Aliens and the Battle for the Truth (2020) and Why Mystery Matters (2023), the latter being an argument about why engaging with the mysterious is potentially good for all of us. His current offer of talks always includes a few items on the paranormal and he’s usually at work on something for magazines like the Fortean Times.
