Meet the Researchers

---

"Ever since I was a little girl, I have always been fascinated by the unexplainable: ghosts, myths, legends, folklore and tall tales. My love for the paranormal and unexplainable grew over the years, filling my time with watching movies, shows and documentaries of the aforementioned topics. When the opportunity of joining a team that share the same interests as myself presented itself, I took it. Not only so I could dive further into a field that fascinates me but to also attempt to explain the unexplainable while still be fascinated by the ones that cannot be explained."

 Growing up I've experienced unexplained activity all throughout my life. Every place that I lived there was always this unexplained activity. As I got older I became more fascinated with the paranormal. I got the opportunity to apply to this team even though I was brand new into the field. I joined this team to better understand the paranormal field and to get the answers for what I've experienced throughout the years. As I grow into this field I am learning more about myself and look forward to helping many people who also experience paranormal activity. 

" My interest in the paranormal came to me during my undergraduate experience in college when a medium visited us on campus and gave readings. Also living and studying in various buildings that had a vast range of paranormal activity, started having me question experiences.  I started going on public investigations with local and celebrity paranormal groups. The timing never seemed right to join a team until I stumbled across IPR. I'm looking forward to exploring new places, trying new methods and expanding my personal experience." 

I got into the paranormal field because it was always a topic that was around for some reason. I always watched the tv shows growing up along with family members having experiences.  My favorite piece of equipment is the ovilus 5 or any kind of spirit box. Off and on through out my life so far i have always had smells of perfume just randomly when there shouldn’t have been. Still cant figure it out! While being on the team i have heard many clear voices which is always awesome to hear and try to figure out why they are happening. Hopefully in the next 10 years i will have my many questions answered and be able to bring people into the field and enjoy the paranormal and get a better understanding.

I had observed/experienced something so vivid many years ago. I could not explain what I had experienced and as a result of these events, I became an instant believer in the possibility of the afterlife. Following these experiences, I finally joined a paranormal group to learn and share similar beliefs and interests; especially to learn with others.

I have tried to investigate the paranormal on my own in the past. However, this approach was not a good fit. I completely enjoy being with a team group of investigators. I find that I work better with a group to analyze the possible evidence and try to debunk our findings. 

I find that the ghost box equipment works well for me.

Advice I would give people thinking of getting into the paranormal field is to Try to research and join paranormal groups or forums on social media. Teamwork in safety matters is important. Ask questions, as we investigate & learn from each other. The commonality of a group can be lots of fun. Have an open mind as most things can be debunked.
