What experience got you into the paranormal?
I became interested in the paranormal because I heard all of the myths, legends, and lore from growing up in our area. I also experienced personal experiences that I could not explain.

What was your favorite place to investigate?
My favorite place to investigate would have to be Trans-Allegheny Lunatic Asylum in Weston, WV. This is where I had my most frightening experience as well. Jerry and I were on the third floor and I whispered to him that we were on the crazy’s floor. As soon as I said that, Jerry noticed a black mist come out of a room and go around me. I immediately went down on my knees after what felt like a jab or punch in my right eye. Soon after, we continued down the hallway and at the end was an easel with Dr. Freeman performing a lobotomy on a patient going through her right eye.

Least favorite place?
I really like most places we go but Fort Delaware would have to be my least favorite.

A place you want to investigate?
I would really like to go to the Bell Witch House in Tennessee.

Favorite piece of ghost hunting equipment to use during an investigation?
My favorite piece of equipment would have to be my camera and my eyes. I am warming up to my recorder a lot lately too.

Advice you would give someone just starting out with investigating?
My advice to anyone who is interested in the paranormal would be to study the field and all aspects of the paranormal because you never know who or what you will encounter. My motto is just because you don’t see it, doesn’t mean it isn’t there.
