Richard Felix was born in Stanley, Derbyshire and came to prominence as the historian
on LivingTV's successful paranormal
programme Most Haunted
where from series two to his final episodes of Series 8 he has performed the
role of folklorist and historian.
A successful record dealer, he served in the Territorial Army before he became involved in
promoting Derbyshire's tourism and heritage industries in the early 1990's,
which led to his opening of Derby Heritage Centre in 1992 and later
Derby Gaol, a reputedly
haunted building in Friar Gate, Derby, England. He met ANTIX productions when
they investigated Derby Gaol in series one of Most Haunted, and was invited to join the team. In
september 2006 Richard Felix parted with LIVINGtv as historian on the
show.
He is best known locally for his famous Derby Ghost Walks and overnight
public ghosthunts at Derby Gaol, and as well as Most Haunted has produced a
series of DVD's called the Ghost Tour of Great Britain which outline the
folklore and hauntings of British counties, a DVD on investigation techniques
(with CJ Romer and Ed Woods)
called A Guide to Ghosthunting.
His books include 'Ghosts of Derby' (with Wayne Alexander) and a series
accompanying the Ghost Tour DVD; including Ghosts of Derbyshire
(2005)
Richard is currently concentrating his time with Felix Films adding to the Ghost Tour DVDs and hosting paranormal events details of which can be found on his official site (link below).
