Andrew Green (28 July 1927 – 21 May 2004) was a British author and ghost hunter known by the media as "the Spectre Inspector".

Career

Green began hunting ghosts in the early forties and was known for his attempts to study ghosts from a scientific perspective. His paranormal investigations were interrupted by two years of national service in the army, but as soon as he was finished he began his paranormal career. In 1949, Green founded the Ealing Society for Psychical Research In 1973, he published his first notable work, Our Haunted Kingdom which was a directory of all English ghosts who had been reported over the previous 25 years.

Every year Green would deliver a lecture on parapsychology at Pyke House, Battle and in 2003 he was honoured by their Ghost Club for his 60 years of research. Green also gave evening classes in parapsychology at Hastings College.

Borkowski invited the media to Green's exorcism and instead of chasing ghosts Green spent the night answering questions posed by the media.

Green met his second wife, Norah Cawthorne, through his investigations in 1976. They were married from 1979 until Green's death in May 2004.
