He has travelled widely in Europe, the Middle East and particularly in Africa where his other passion – frogs – often takes him. So far he has discovered and named 16 new species of frogs, and written a number of papers, articles and a book on the subject.
Ted's curiosity for the paranormal stems from a number of supra-natural first-hand experiences including an out-of-body experience, a miraculous healing, and several encounters with UFOs, 'angels' and 'demons'. He is a committed Christian, but you won't find him in a church as he is an avowed nonconformist. He has a wide range of interests including travel, politics, religion, the paranormal, history and natural history. He has two grown-up daughters and married his partner of 19 years in December 2013.view less
