Mission Statement
Are you curious about mystery, conspiracy and the unexplained? We are MindFckd, a digital magazine diving into UK oddities and all things unknown. Whether you want to know if pigeons are secret spies, if the government is listening to us through our phones, or if the moon cycle actually influences human behaviour, MindFckd investigates it all. We embrace every perspective – true believers, experts and skeptics alike – ultimately giving our readers the freedom to decide what they believe after hearing every angle of the bizarre and the unexplained. Covering mysteries from the past century, our brand will have a digital magazine, a Spotify podcast and social platforms including TikTok, Instagram and YouTube. MindFckd thinks outside of the box, sparking debate and delivering entertaining content that challenges what you think you already know.
Meet the Team
Darcie Peskir – Feature Writer, MindFckd TikTok Presenter
Heyyy! My name is Darcie, and I’m a feature writer here at MindFckd. I also present over on the MindFckd TikTok account, so go check that out too if you want to hear the public’s weirdest and wackiest opinions on conspiracy. I first became obsessed with conspiracy and mystery when I was young, and discovered the pyramids in Egypt – I still don’t know how they were built, like WTF?? I have an undergraduate degree in Journalism, Media and Communications from the University of Sheffield, and have written lots of lovely features over on ShefNews, so go and check those out if you like what you read 😉
Freya Vye – Feature Writer, MindFckd Newsletter Creator
Hi!! I’m Freya, I’m the one who puts together all of our fab and freaky newsletters, and I am OBSESSED with all things unexplainable and slightly supernatural in particular. I will never turn down an interview and love chatting with anyone who believes the unbelievable. I will get massively drawn into any outlandish conspiracy theory, spend hours getting into it and then dissect it to pass along to other people, only to drop it and move along to another one a week later, and that’s exactly what I do at MindFckd! I’ve written tonnes of features, most of which focus on some crazy and amazing people, so be ready to meet
Lauren Oliver – Feature Writer, Mindfckd Podcast Host
Hey guys, my name is Lauren and I am a feature writer here at MindFckd, and what a surprise, I have decided to present the platform that involves the most talking – the MindFckd Podcast. So if you want to hear a lot of chitchat, check that out!! I am absolutely fascinated by the unknown, and I very much enjoy questioning any mainstream narratives and uncovering the mysteries that lie beneath the surface. Princess Diana’s death hooked me on conspiracies since I was young and not to blame the royal family but c’mon someone is to blame… Anyway, I have an undergraduate degree in Journalism, Media and Communications from the University of Sheffield, and have written an extensive amount of features for ShefNews, so you’re in for a treat!
Blessing Adefemi – Feature Writer, MindFckd Youtube Creator
Heyyy! I’m Blessing, a feature writer here at MindFckd, manage the website and I also present over on the MindFcked Youtube account, so I hope you enjoy my immaculate editing skills! Conspiracies have always intrigued me to the point that I listen to them to fall asleep (not concerning at all), the one in particular that keeps me up at night definitely has to be that everyone has a doppleganger, like i can’t fathom that i am literally the only person in the world that looks like me! Besides my love for a good conspiracy theory, I have an undergraduate degree in Journalism so I hope you enjoy the weird pieces from me that you’ll be reading on our site!?

Faye Reeve – Feature Writer, MindFckd Youtube Creator
My name’s Faye and I’m a feature writer for Mindfckd, I manage the website and I present the Youtube. I’m from Glastonbury which has installed a natural gravitation to the weird and wonderful sides of life. I love profile interviews, I think everyone deserves to have their story told free of judgment and I think it’s a bit of an honour to be that person. I’m about to complete my BA in Journalism and Mass Communications from The University of Sheffield where I have written a number of features for Shefnews.
Liz Graham – Feature Writer, MindFckd TikTok Videographer
Hi, I’m Liz and I’m a feature writer here at MindFckd. I also present over on our MindFckd TikTok account. I’ve always been intrigued by things I can’t explain, such as Dr Emoto’s Water Experiments or the Voynich Manuscripts. My obsession started when I would go on long drives with my mom and we’d listen to unsolved mystery podcasts – some of which have now been solved! I truly believe if curiosity killed the cat, then satisfaction brought him back. Let me know what your most interesting conspiracy theory is over at @mindfckdtiktok
