The Midlands Ghost Research Society is a paranormal investigation group founded in 2002 by Martin and Amanda Higginson.

Higginson said he was inspired to start the group after seeing his grandmother's ghost when he was eight years old.[1] They group serves the entire UK with the Higginson's frequently travelling to investigate paranormal claims. The group has conducted over 22 investigations. They have captured numerous 'ghostly' phenomenon including orbs and magnetic fluctuations.[1] Their most famous investigation was of St. Mary's Great Hall.[2]

The group's aim is to prove the existence of ghosts and to this end they carry out investigations using an array of scientific equipment; from infra-red cameras to electromagnetic frequency metres.[1] They also perform vigils to look out for ghosts. The vigils are limited to twenty investigators at one time.[1]

The group is affiliated with the Association for the Scientific Study of Anomalous Phenomena.[1]

The Ghost Research Society has taken part in numerous charity drives including one for Children in Need[3] and another where they raised £1,500 for cerebral palsy research.[4] For all of their charity drives they perform 'lock-ins', where the group is sponsored to lock themselves in a 'haunted' building overnight.
