As a necropolis rambler, she is dubbed the ‘Headstone Hunter.’ As a photographer, she spends much of her time in the cemeteries of the UK and Paris, capturing 'souls' - angels, tombs, mausoleums, catacombs and vaults. As an artist, she creates her interpretation of monuments in oils. As a story teller, she reads epitaphs and researches some of the more obscure occupants to bring their stories to life. As a journalist, she reports and writes about the architecture of eternity for national newspapers and magazines including It's Fate, Paranormal, Prediction, Chat, Grazia, Twisted Dreams, Fate and Fortune and has been interviewed by the BBC 3 times.
Jeane is a bona fide 'Lady' but only uses her title when helping to raise funds for charity or occasionally blagging entry to somewhere fully booked!

Cemetery photography Some people ask me why I find cemeteries so fascinating? To me they are filled with interesting monuments and amazing history. Sadly some of the older graves are crumbling or the burial space is being reclaimed by cemetery management or nature. I like to take photographs and help to preserve a little of their history for future generations to see. I do what I can to help save and restore monuments. People from all over the world visit this website and tell me how much they enjoy my photos and the research I have done on some of the graves occupants so I guess I must be doing something right!
Readings Do you long to know what the future holds? Have a problem, require help in making a decision or would like a connection with loved ones who have passed over? I am a psychic, parapsychologist and counselor with many years of experience. My accurate and confidential readings can provide you with help, guidance and much more. I have always been psychic and write for national newspapers and magazines on the paranormal and related subjects. I do a small number of readings when time permits. The readings are from photographs which can either be sent or e mailed.
I don't limit the number of photographs you can send me or the number of questions you may ask. Each reading takes me approx 2 hours to prepare and includes past, present and future tarot and some astrology. If you have any questions following the reading or something is not clear to you, I will answer via e mail at no further charge. The cost of a reading is £40. I accept UK cheques and postal orders. Please e mail me for further details.
Investigations I also accept bookings to conduct paranormal investigations in London and the South Essex area. I carry out my investigations in a relaxed way, there is nothing secret and you can be present and participate as much or little as you wish and ask anything. Fee £50.
Articles I write articles for national newspapers and magazines on the paranormal and related subjects.

Victorian architect Arthur Beresford Pite (1861 – 1934) is buried in West Norwood cemetery, South London. His grave has sustained much damage, the copper plaques with names and inscriptions are missing and part of the grave is suffering from subsidence. Pite was responsible for many great buildings both in London and abroad including Burlington Arcade Piccadilly, Christ Church Brixton, Kampala Cathedral Uganda, Holy Trinity church in Clapham and of course 30 Euston Square where I worked for many years. I have set up a fund to carry out the necessary repairs and to restore his monument. All donations to the Pite Memorial Restoration Project no matter how small will be gratefully received.
