MEET THE SAGE TEAM

 MJ Dickson is a Paranormal Investigator, Psychic Medium, Writer, and Paranormal Television Producer based in Warwickshire, UK. She is known for her work as the co-host on Sky Pick TVs hit paranormal show - ‘Paranormal Captured’, which aired in the UK, and has worked on shows such as ‘Most Terrifying Places’, ‘Paranormal Lockdown’, as well as other popular shows and paranormal documentaries.

Her experiences with the paranormal began at a young age and she soon realized that she had inherited her mothers’ psychic abilities. Paired with her military father’s penchant for logic, MJ found that this unusual combination of psychic and skeptic lent itself perfectly to becoming a successful paranormal investigator. Those skills came in handy when she suspected she was living in a haunted house and wanted answers.

With over 12 years of experience in the paranormal field, MJ has investigated hundreds of locations worldwide. Her research has taken her from the UK, USA, and Europe to places such as South Africa and Zimbabwe, in search of all things strange.

MJ lectures at paranormal conventions around the world, teaching others the risks involved and the basics of investigating as well as a wide range of other topics, a popular Paracon lecturer. Due to her professionalism and the level of evidence she was able to document, Dickson is recognized as one of the top female investigators within the field worldwide.

In 2011 she started her business – ‘Sage Paranormal’, a paranormal events and holiday company based in Warwickshire, UK. In 2016 MJ launched the ‘Sage Paracon’, the most exclusive paranormal convention within the UK. In addition to her paranormal investigation events, the ‘Sage Paracon’, and her busy lecture schedule, MJ hosts ‘Sage Adventures’. These range from spooky weekend getaways exploring all things paranormal to her ‘Sea Adventures’- a 10-night Paranormal Cruise, as well as her ‘Land Adventures’ which are 10-night adventures to haunted locations around the world.

In 2018 she worked alongside ‘Groff Entertainment’ as the Production Location Consultant for season 4 of the popular television series 'Paranormal Lockdown'. MJ has not only worked onscreen but also as the Production Coordinator for Travel Channels ‘Most Terrifying Places’, which aired in October 2019. 

Currently, MJ is the production coordinator for ‘Hotel Paranormal’ season 2 which is currently in pre-production. She is also the producer, director, and onscreen paranormal investigator/host for ‘In Search Of The Paranormal’ which is due for release in April 2021.

It’s very rare that she is not doing something along the lines of investigating, researching, and exploring all things weird and unknown. In her free time, she can often be found singing and playing guitar on stage at her local open mic nights. She also enjoys writing for numerous publications such as ‘Haunted’ magazine.   

Born in Sheffield, the United Kingdom in 1971, Carl Hutchinson relocated to Kent with his family at the age of 12. After a terrifying encounter with a full-bodied apparition during a family stay at a historic Kent hotel, Carl knew that there was something more to this world, something paranormal. He has investigated some of the most haunted locations worldwide and worked alongside some of the biggest names in the paranormal field. 

His logical approach during investigations as well as his wealth of tech knowledge makes him a valuable team member. Carl’s paranormal research has expanded more into the use of ITC (Instrumental Trans-Communication) devices and modern investigating equipment. As well as setting up numerous experiments during investigations, he takes his environmental and base investigation research very seriously. 

Over the last decade of investigating the paranormal, Carl has experienced some incredible paranormal phenomena including very interesting and in part scary moments. From being punched by unseen hands at Fort Horsted, to seeing a full-body apparition of a woman at Rye Castle. He has heard footsteps, whistles, strange noises, seen shadow figures, witnessed strange flowing lights and had various things thrown at him by ethereal beings - in his words “I love what I do and the buzz of investigating is so amazing”. 

In 2012 Carl appeared on the Travel Channel hit television show ‘Ghost Adventures’ at Fort Horsted in Kent, where he had the opportunity to work alongside Zak Bagans and the Ghost Adventures Crew. In 2014 he joined the Sage Paranormal team, he has worked alongside MJ Dickson hosting public events and worldwide investigations over the last 6 years. 

Carl is also a part of the core team to host the Sage Paracon, voted the most exclusive paranormal convention in the U.K. for two years running and as one of the top ten paranormal conventions around the world by ‘Den Of Geek’.  

He has appeared on numerous YouTube paranormal documentaries and is often consulted for his tech expertise both on and off camera. In 2019, he appeared on an episode of Travel Channels show ‘Most Terrifying Places’ and is currently working on a new 4 part paranormal documentary series due for release in 2021. Other than the paranormal, Carl loves traveling the world, spending days relaxing on the golf course, and lounging by a pool with a cold one in hand.

Over the last two decades, Alex has investigated some incredible and classic haunted locations around the world, often returning to the places which piqued his interest in the paranormal.

He believes a location requires more than one visit before making a judgment on whether or not it is haunted and has even spent weeks living in these locations while he conducts his research.

Alex is the videographer and sound engineer for not only the Sage team but also Corrine West Photography and Media. He is fully qualified as a sound and lighting engineer. His work includes theatres and concert venues around London, as well as doing shows at the Edinburgh festival. 

In 2011 Alex met Corrine, and they found that their passions in life were very similar. Their love for all things strange lead to a budding romance while working and investigating together. Fast forward a few years, the pair were married and continue to travel the world exploring all things spooky.

In 2018, Alex, accompanied by his lovely wife – Corrine, attended the Sage Paracon annual paranormal convention, where they met MJ and Carl. Throughout the year, they accompanied them on various investigations and paranormal road trips which lead to MJ inviting both Alex and Corrine to join the Sage team. 

When he is not investigating, he enjoys reading up on the latest audio and visual equipment as well as researching new ways to document investigations and set up experiments. He is also responsible for reviewing the hours of Sage footage and audio in search of anything that could potentially be evidence of the paranormal.
