The Team

Beth has been interested in the paranormal since the young age of 8, and has been studying and investigating the paranormal for 20 years. She got into the field because of experiences she had in her own life, and of experiences of those of her friends and family (her father even as a young boy, lived in a haunted house with his family for a short while). You can read about one of these experiences on our stories page

A technical savvy person, Beth also likes to paint and collect antiques in her spare time. Her collection includes antique dolls dating from 1860 - 1920. Most of these are Armand Marseilles, with one china head from 1860 - that visitors to her home say that it is haunted itself. They have claimed to see it move, and even turn its head! She also has a collection of various Victorian antiques, from jewelry to sconces, to even a mirror from an old NY hotel. In her collection she also has an actual Victorian mourning jacket from 1895. Beth originally wanted to become an Archeologist when she was young, and that passion of the past still drives her today to find out historical meanings of the places in Edmonton.

Beth has been on the boards of other legalized societies and non-profit organizations. She is very interested in the community, and the history of not only Edmonton, but of surrounding municipalities. Even though she holds an important day job, her investigations are never far from her mind.

Beth is usually the spokesperson for the group (sometimes very outspoken!). Featured on such TV shows as Big Breakfast and Shaw TV's top ten.

She has also been featured on the radio program in the states Coast to Coast AM (one of her articles was also featured as a 'hot story'), CBC Radio, FREE FM and has been written up in magazines such as Universe Weekly, The Grande Prairie Herald-Tribune, and in a 5 page spread in SEE Magazine.

Although a skeptical person trying to find the truth behind paranormal experiences, Beth also has an interest in the spiritual side. She has studied different religions and faiths, and how they pertain to paranormal experiences. She has also delved into the world of divination, but stays away from Ouija boards (as should everyone!)

Two of her Heroes she lists is her Mom and Dad. They have been very supportive of her in her quest, and brought her up with values, but with no religious restrictions.

Beth although serious about her investigations, is known to have a great sense of humor, and loves shows like Monty Python, Red Dwarf, and Fawlty Towers.

Brian has more than 30 years of policing experience which he draws upon to assist him in conducting paranormal investigations. As a certified ghost hunter, Brian has been dabbling in the paranormal for more than 20 years. His interest in the paranormal is a result of an unexplainable incident he witnessed during his days working the streets. Brian believes in conducting thorough, accurate investigations in an ethical manner, with a view towards providing assistance to those who believe they are being plagued by the supernatural. Brian is married with two daughters.
