About us

We are a husband and wife team who, for the past several years, have enjoyed our "paranormal hunts" with other likeminded people.  We have had the opportunity to go on several overnight investigations and have always walked away with a hunger for more.  Our overnight investigations include:  Charleston SC Old Jail, Point Lookout Lighthouse, Scotland, MD, The Green Park Inn, Blowing Rock, NC, and the Battleship, NC, Wilmington.

Additionally, with others, we have also visited battlegrounds, graveyards, motels, a restaurant, a theater, an Inn, Plantation, a Bed & Breakfast, an antique store, and the like.

We have learned so much, but realize there is always more to learn, and with every opportunity comes the chance to improve our skills. 

Our team does not deal in any way with Ouija boards, Tarot cards or crystal balls.  We have never used, and will never use these items.

We are a "sitting" team, which means that we don't actively participate in the paranormal field on a regular basis.  We have jobs, and therefore our time is limited to weekends only.  By further limiting the scope of our investigations to private homes, we feel this affords us the required time needed to dedicate ourselves to a project and see it through.  Home investigations are more intimate and personal, and we feel this area best suits our mission.

Our personal experiences:

I have always had an interest in the paranormal, though it has peaked and wavered through the years.  While I have had few personal experiences, the few I have had were convincing and I knew what I heard, saw and felt, were  real. 

I am "optimistically skeptical" as far as investigating goes.  I would rather be skeptical and correct, than wrong and foolish.  I consider myself a hard sell because there are too many variables in this field.  You have to be very careful, because evidence is the exception and not the rule.       

When I was a very young child, there were some occasions where I would tell my parents that a pet had died.  They would find the pet and show me that it was fine.  A short time later, the pet would die.  According to my mother, when I was about three or four years old, we had a cat named Samantha.  While Samantha was sitting on my mothers lap one day, I told my mother "Samantha's dead."  Mother pointed out to me that Samantha was fine.  Two days later, Samantha died. This happened more than once with pets.  My parents were told to ignore this, not to encourage it, and it would go away.  It finally did.  Could these occurrences simply be attributed to coincidence?  Absolutely.  Several times over?  Possibly. The only true fact we know with certainty is, these things happened. (It should be noted that lots of very young children seem to have experiences similar to this nature, so it's not that unusual or uncommon).  

More recently, in February 2009, my husband and I had been visiting the Battleship, NC.  It was a Saturday.  That afternoon, I got a really bad feeling that something horrible had happened.  I had no idea what, but it was such a strong feeling.  I told my husband.  We came home that evening and nothing had happened.  I still felt such dread, but didn't know why.  The next day, Sunday, we got a call telling us that the day before, Saturday, my husbands sister and brother in law had been in a head on collision. She was life flighted to Duke and her husband was killed instantly. 

I have had audio, visual and one very negative, dark experience. These experiences span from my childhood to adulthood.

The audio was more of a "half cry" or "half yell."  I knew it was a deceased relative, by name.  I was in my teens at the time. 

The visual was an apparition.  It was a man wearing a hat.  I had seen him at the barn, standing in the breeze way, in front of the office.  I was stunned when I saw him and remember just staring.  I was later told he was the deceased previous owner of the horse farm, and that he always wore a hat.  I was around twelve years old.

The negative experience was terrifying.  I was laying down (this was at night) and something blanketed me.  I could tell immediately that it was a very dark force.  I was unable to move or get up.  I tried and though I was never touched physically, the energy was so strong, I literally could not move. I felt like I was "emotionally paralyzed," and it reverberated through my body. It felt as if my skin were covered in this energy.  It was as if an invisible field were holding me down.  I was, unfortunately, very aware of what was going on.  My mind wanted to get up, but my body was unable.  I heard nothing, smelled nothing and felt nothing.  This lasted several minutes and finally, it dissipated.  I got up and left the room. I was around twenty years old.

There is a rocking chair in my family that's been passed down. (see photos).  It had a history of rocking on it's own.  Back in the 70's, someone associated with Duke University Parapsychology Lab (now Rhine Research Center),  came to see the chair.  This was not a "formal study" but simply a brief, drop in visit.  The chair did not rock while he was there, and I have never seen the chair rock.  Someone very close to me did, and immediately threw clothes in it.  I've always been intrigued with this chair and find it fascinating, rocking or not.

My husband lived in what he calls a haunted house, when he was a boy.  In his bedroom he heard heavy chains dragging across the floor (while he was in his room), and his grandmother, in the kitchen below, heard the same thing, at the same time.      

Regardless of if a location does have activity, that doesn't guarantee any evidence can be collected.  After all, it's not up to us, as investigators - no matter how hard we try or how dedicated we are.  It's up to the spirits.  It is they who "run the show," not us.
