Briography

Felix was born in 1949 in Derby.[1] He was a child of record dealers and left school at the age of 15.[1] At 19 he was diagnosed with terminal cancer but overcame the disease.[1]

Felix was a Captain in the Territorial Army with the 3rd Worcestershire and Sherwood Foresters, the President of Derby Chamber of Trade, the chairman of the Derby Tourism Association and President of the Edward Stuart Society.[1] He has stated that his life's goal is to definitely discover what ghosts are.[1]

Work

Since 1981 Felix has been delivering ghost tours around Derby every Halloween.[2] He has also been campaigning during this time to set up an exhibition centre in Queen Street, Derby, at the old clockworks.[3][4] Felix is quoted as saying that there is "barely a corner [of Derby] which shouldn't have a blue plaque in it."[4] He hopes to use the now abandoned warehouse as an exhibition of Derby's past, both paranormal and otherwise.[4]

In 2011 Felix toured the country with Chris Conway in the Psychic & Science show.[5][6]
