I have always been interested in the paranormal of all sorts. I am
a Christian who believes that their are things that occur that are
very hard to explain. I know that most so called paranormal events
can be explained by simple measures. I have experienced
something that I have never been able to explain and want people
to know they are not alone. What I would like to do is make people
more aware that most unexplained events are not to be feared,
and during this attempt, find answers to other unexplained events,
whether they be ghostly, or not.
I was born just outside of Huntsville, Alabama. From a young age in elementary
school, I was interested in ghost stories, haunted houses and the paranormal. I
first became interested in such things when in the library of Union Hill Elementary
School, I found a book entitled "13 Alabama Ghosts & Jeffrey". That peaked my
interest. In retrospect, most, if not all, of the pictures in that book could definitely
be de-bunked, but it was fun for a kid to see. When I was a little older, I had what
I would call an official paranormal experience. That experience made me realize
that there could be some merit to these "ghost stories" and perhaps not all of the
pictures were fake, staged or explainable phenomena. Later on, I went to tech
school and received a degree in plumbing and pipe-fitting, had y own plumbing
business, and then went to work for Roto-Rooter. During my years as a plumber,
I was exposed to many different homes, both old and new. Although I never had
any obvious paranormal experiences in these homes, I have been in homes that
seemed "different" or "not right". Working in the home improvement and repair
field has definitely helped me be aware of the different sounds that homes
produce. Now since "Ghost Hunters" and other paranormal discovery shows have
gained popularity, my interest has been renewed. Call it curiosity of the unknown
or simply wanting to know what's really out there, my goal is to prove what is real
and disprove what is not.
I was born and raised in Hardin County, Tennessee with the Tennessee River and Shiloh
National Military Park practically part of my extended back yard. Although I was raised in a
Christian home, I rebelled against the values of my upbringing but finally repented and became a
Christian in 1996. As a child I was churched primarily in a full gospel Pentecostal atmosphere in
which it was not uncommon to see someone speak in unknown tongues, prophesy, fall out on the
floor, dance, run, laugh or cry uncontrollably and/or have miraculous healing by the power of the
Holy Spirit. On rare occasions there would even be a demon cast out of someone. While still a
young boy, I witnessed many things that were casually explained by the Christian believers with
scriptures and according to the beliefs of the faith, but many of the things that I witnessed still
defied physical science. So, I grew up fully aware that just because we don't understand
something, it doesn't mean that it didn't happen even if we can produce no rational explanation
for it. Over the years I have had a handful of personal experiences, which I feel definitely fall into
the "paranormal" folder. Have I ever seen a ghost? No, but I have seen and heard some things
that were very real to me, and others with me on some occasions, that simply could not be
readily explained. That is why I am interested in investigating the paranormal. First to possibly
gain a better understanding and/or explanation for my experiences and secondly to help others
explain or at least better understand their experiences. Paranormal simply put means something
not scientifically explainable. It will be my goal as a paranormal investigator to exhaust every tool
at my disposal to scientifically explain any event perceived at face value as being of a
paranormal nature. I am not on a mission to "debunk" every audible, visual or physical
apparition that I may be called upon to investigate, but simply to identify whether it does or does
not appear to be of a paranormal nature based on the physical evidence acquired during the
investigation.
I have lived in Savannah, Tn all my life and having Shiloh National Military Park just
a few miles away, i have always heard stories of the paranormal not only in Shiloh
but at locations in Savannah that pertain to Civil War history. I have always been a
few miles away, i have always heard stories of the paranormal not only in Shiloh
past few years. I founded this team so that we might be able to find answers for but
at locations in Savannah that pertain to Civil War history. I have always been
myself and for those out there who also are seeking answers to unexplained
curious about the paranormal, and my curiousity has gotten a lot stronger in the
events they may be encountering. I have always been someone who wants to help
others, and I hope that my team and I are able to help others find the answers
they are searching for. I have hand picked my team so that I know them and their
beliefs. I have pulled together a team that is very caring and considerate towards
others. I will go into every investigation as a skeptic and try to debunk what I can
keeping in mind that our clients have been experiencing something of a sensitive
matter. I am seeking answers.... hoping to find them.... and hoping to help others
find some answers they need.
