  Chrsi Howley has been looking out for something very different

This time last year well known cornet player Chris Howley, who has performed with the Flowers and Cory Bands in recent years, as well as conducting Forest of Dean and Cinderford Bands, was called away from his conducting duties at the West of England Area Championships to take part in a brand new ghost hunting TV show called 'Ghost Chasers'.

Paranormal

The series sees paranormal investigators Chris Howley and Paul Hobday team up with psychic medium Ian Lawman and presenter Kay Nambiar on a journey around Europe in the search of evidence of the paranormal — a subject Chris has been interested and involved in for many years.

The team travelled through England, Belgium, Luxembourg, Germany and the Netherlands, investigating the most haunted locations they could find.
