1) How did you become interested in the paranormal?
I had many personal experiences that left me with questions that, for myself, needed some form of validity.
2) What is the most interesting paranormal experience you've had?
Interesting or exciting?
For interesting, I’d have to go with my first poltergeist case that I worked on in 12/06 that really opened up a lot of possibilities in the field that I had not considered until then – it was a great learning experience. For exciting, well, this really wasn’t as exciting as it became frightening, at least for me; but I was physically attacked by a negative entity at an undisclosed location here in South Texas.
3) What do you hope to accomplish by being an investigator?
My primary purpose in this field is to find answers to help people, especially young people and children who may be having problems with what they consider to be the paranormal. I believe in most cases there are very natural reasons for the phenomenon people experience (and I’ve now come to entertain psychokinetic energy as a possibility into that fold), that once understood may not be such a seeming threat after all.
4) What are your top 5 places to investigate? -- Currently?
a. Any residential case where a family is having trouble, particularly a family with children.
b. The St. Augustine Lighthouse
c. The Nueces River and Sandia / Bluntzer area of South Texas to continue my research into the La Lachusa / Thunderbird / Mothman phenomenon .
d. The Stanley Hotel
e. Marathon, Texas – I had an interesting experience on vacation there back in 11/07 and I’d like to return with equipment.
5) Advice for anyone interested in joining the paranormal field?
Make sure you know what you are getting into and do your homework in advance; this field can be an absolute joy to work in, but also can have its dangers. And in that respect, never go investigating by yourself; always make sure there are at least 2 of you together at a time, so that if someone is injured the other can provide or find help. Not to mention it is easier not to be afraid on an investigation with at least one person with you on site. Even more in a group is a plus. Never give up your legal rights to your own evidence and be careful of the people you get involved with – again, do your homework. And finally, be respectful to all parties involved within and outside an investigation, including a client’s personal and religious beliefs to maintain a sound and professional relationship with your client as well as with your own group members. This also includes showing a healthy respect for the phenomenon we are dealing with here; not doing so can bring harm to an investigation and the group. Showing sound professionalism in all regards through respect is ultimately healthy to the case study and all participants within. You’ll find it is a give and take situation: if you don’t exhibit respect for all these factors, why should anyone return the favor and respect your work as an investigator?
