Greetings, everyone! I want to extend a heartfelt thank you for being a part of this incredible Skool community! This has been on my to-do list for quite a while, and I'm excited to finally dive in. Having been a part of or ran two paranormal investigation teams in the past, the latest a professional one, I recognize that there may be some folks here with even more experience than me. And that's perfectly okay! I’m here to learn as much as I am to share. To give you a bit of background, I was with "The New England Haunted Society" in White River Junction, Vermont, back in 1987. I spent 9 months there, during which we had a few investigations that were run… let's just say, not the best. Safety was often overlooked, both physically and spiritually. One of the investigators even appeared to become possessed! We were young and impressionable, and none of us really knew what we were doing. Back then, we had no idea about evidence maintenance. Our audio was poor and recorded on cassette tapes, while our photos were filled with orbs that have since been debunked. Good times, right? No cell phones, the internet was just a baby, so of course, no website either. But you know what? I learned valuable lessons about what NOT to do. Over the years, I ventured out on my own, diving into historical research during my spare time. I’ve gathered a wealth of knowledge from reading greats like Ed and Lorraine Warren, John Zaffis, Jeff Belanger, and Karla Turner (shoutout for her UFO expertise!). These resources really put my past in perspective. These days Dr. Steven Greer is enlightening me on all things UFO, great mind! Fast forward to 2007: after getting married and starting a family, I decided to take paranormal investigation seriously. I aimed to build a group focusing on three core principles: Scientific Basis, Credibility, and Spirituality. Without diving too deep (that's what the Pro Investigator Boot Camp is for!), the science part revolves around Occam's Razor (Look it up) and strict evidence Chain of Custody. By rigorously adhering to these, we ensure our credibility.
