 I was 8 or 9 years old when my
interests began in the paranormal and the 'unknown'. Due
to the death of my grandfather, I was staying at my
grandmother's home, in New Jersey in an attic, that was converted
into a bedroom. At night, as I would lay down to sleep, I
would hear voices and a rocking chair would rock located near
the foot of the bed. When I would jump out of bed and run
to turn on the light, the voices would stop as well as the
chair. This occurred about four times, and I knew I wasn't
crazy.
I would end up sleeping downstairs with
my parents and since then, I had always wanted to know what it
was, how to communicate with it, why it chose me. Could I
help it in any way?
As I got older, I read books
about ghosts, astral projection, and spiritual healing,
and have always remained fascinated.
I've been
investigating the paranormal to try to find any answers to
questions about the unknown as to why these occurrences happen and what is on the other
side.

Paranormal phenomena have been a part of my life since I was
very young. My childhood home was converted from the historical
one-room schoolhouse for my small Upstate New York town, where
rumors circulated that the Head Master had hung himself in the
attic. My cousin used to tell me that he saw a figure of a man
standing at the foot of my bed watching me sleep. Although I
never witnessed that firsthand, I have had many other paranormal
and other unexplained incidences throughout my life. I
definitely have my share of stories to tell!
I have
always been fascinated by all of the “Mysteries of the Unknown”
including astral projection and energy healing works (such as
Reiki); to telepathy and other psychic experiences; including
dream interpretation and
déjà-vu
phenomena, as well. Although I have a very open mind to the
possibilities of what’s “beyond”, I am thrilled to be a part of
P.R.O.O.F. and to be supporting the investigators in their quest
to find truth through the Scientific Method. I love to expand
my mind and learn about everything I can, and I am always
seeking more information. Friends and colleagues have called me
a human search engine – and that’s one of the best compliments
I’ve ever received!
As
Case Manager, I’m looking forward to coordinating appointments
and managing client relations for P.R.O.O.F.

As a child, after
all of us were in bed, I would frequently hear people in
living room talking and laughing. It sounded as if my
parents were sitting in there with company and having a
good time. When I would get up and go into the hallway,
the noise would stop. I never thought it was unusual and
attributed it to ghosts. Unfortunately, my friends
thought it was very unusual and none of them would spend
the night with me. When I was about 21 I read a book
about Edgar Cayce that led to my reading several other
books about the paranormal. A few years later I took a
class at the YMCA on psychic phenomena and joined a
psychic group that the teacher had started. We were part
of the Spiritual Frontiers Fellowship, an organization
dedicated to psychic phenomena. We interacted with other
psychic groups, held conventions, hosted speakers, and
promoted the psychic field in the media.
Throughout my
life I have had several experiences with hauntings and
ghosts. I have lived in three houses that had paranormal
activity. My kids used to see ghosts in our house, and
my one son would chase the ghost, trying to catch him. I
am very curious as to what ghosts really are and I think
we will only know through scientific research. And I
believe groups such as P.R.O.O.F. can be very useful in
this research.

Bagrowski
Tech Team Manager/Senior Investigator
I am a family man, musician, entrepreneur, and now
paranormal investigator. I have had an interest in
spirits and the paranormal for as far back as I can
remember. I think this was partially caused by the fact
that my house growing up was haunted. I had experienced
lights going on and off by themselves, banging in the
walls, doors opening and closing by themselves, and even
voices calling my name when I was alone in my bedroom.
To back up my claims, I have friends who also had
experienced this phenomenon in my home. Numerous
relatives passed away in this home and there was
definitely a negative energy felt there. I have also
been told multiple times that I am “in tune” when it
comes to sensitivity surrounding spirituality and the
paranormal.
Although I have not been a part of a lot of paranormal
groups in the past, I do bring forth knowledge,
technical and computer expertise, as well as I am a
research specialist. In my many years of study of the
paranormal, I was lucky enough to attend classes given
by Ed and Lorraine Warren, who are considered to be the
most well known paranormal investigators in the world.
Now I have finally decided to pursue this passion with
P.R.O.O.F., in hopes of someday finding definitive
evidence that there is life after we pass on.

Psychic
Medium, Investigator
 From
the time I was little, I knew that there was more then the
eye could see. I would dream and see the next day play out,
just like in a movie, as I got older I started to hear and
feel spirits. Growing up I always wanted to have a deeper
knowledge of what happens when we die.
I am a Psychic Medium, I was born with this gift that allows
spirit people to give me messages from the afterlife. The
objective of a mediums work is to prove survival of the
human personality after death and to help the bereaved come
to terms with their loss. I like to provide evidence of
survival.
Becoming a voice for those on the other side that we cannot
see and hear and find a common ground. Provide answers to
those who do not understand and are afraid. I believe that
science has yet to discover what happens after we pass, for
this reason I have become a paranormal Psychic Medium
investigator.
Kris Mehler
Investigator
When I was a child in Pennsylvania, I grew up in a home
that was passed down through my family. It had a lot of
family history, including a relative passing away in it.
I grew up hearing footsteps, random noises, light bulbs
bursting and my name being called through this home. Not
only did I experience paranormal activity in my
childhood home, but also in various homes of relatives.
Since that time, the paranormal has always captured my
interest.
Now, with the support of my family and as a member of
P.R.O.O.F., I can further explore the paranormal and
help those effected by it. Whether it be a peaceful
friend from the past or an uninvited guest, I hope to be
able to possibly answer some previously unanswered
questions for those in need of our help.
Adam Anderson
Investigator/Tech. Team
I have
been interested in the paranormal all my life. In
addition, I have witnessed the paranormal, which came in
different stages, all my life. As a child I grew up in a
house with the ghost of an old man who died shortly
before we moved in. He would randomly let me know of his
presence by making himself known though dark shapes,
mostly caught in my peripheral vision. He was a friendly
entity and actually watched over us and kept us safe.
Never did he try to inflict terror or harm. We were told
by the neighbors he was a sweet old man who loved to
give to the kids children.
Later, as
an adult in the Marines, we lived in a room that was
haunted by the “shadow man”. We would see a shadow move
around in the darkness quite often between us in our
room as we laid there before going to sleep. This went
on for years. Interestingly, it was later found out that
the Marines who lived in the room next to us were
haunted to the point they requested a new room.
Due to my
own experiences, I do believe in the supernatural, but I
am still very much a skeptic to most of the things I see
and hear from others. I must experience something first
hand to truly believe it, and this is one of the reasons
why I wanted to become a member of the P.R.O.O.F team.
It is my intention to prove, beyond a reasonable doubt,
the existence of paranormal activity.
Jackie Anderson
Investigator/Researcher/Case Manager - (Member In Training)
I
have been interested in the paranormal for most of my
life. I believe that people do experience the
supernatural in many different ways. Some by sight,
others by sounds or feelings, and a few experience a
combination. However, I am somewhat of a skeptic until I
experience it for myself. I have experienced
feelings that seem to have escalated after my father
passed away when I was just 24. I sometimes feel some
sort of presence, like someone is behind me, and I truly
believe it's my father letting me know that he is still
thinking of me. My husband and children moved into our
house in 2006 and since then I have felt a presence. I
wonder if something sad happened in our house with the
previous owners. I don't think it's anything horrible,
but the feeling I get is something of a gloomy nature
and is very different than from what I feel when it's my
father.
Because of experiences like these, my curiosity has
gotten the best of me and drives me to become a member
of the P.R.O.O.F team in order to help others. I want to
experience more than just feelings and want to see or
hear the paranormal. I want to be part of a team who can
investigate to help people understand what they are
experiencing.
