Answer: In 2006, I started my group; I have always been interested in the paranormal, even when I was little. I come from a long line of mediums and communicators of the ethereal realms.
Question: You told me that you have been having paranormal experiences all your life, please elaborate.
Answer: When I was eight years old we use to go to a park by my home and I had a vision of a man hanging in a tree. I found out years later, what really happened, a man was actually hung at that tree. My mom who passed away when I was three came to me when I was 19. She sat on my bed and went out my window. When in high school I had a dream of a tall man with blue eyes walking his dog and he smiled at me. I woke up and on my way to school I saw that same man that was in my dream with his blue eyes and little white dog smiling at me and then he was gone. Saw a picture years later of my grandfather who I had never met and it was him. I went to see my mom before moving to Vallejo and asked for a sign. I heard knocking all the way down each tombstone, then the knocking moved back up on the tombstones; there was no one around to make those knocking sounds. I believe to this day that was my mom. One time camping near Lake Shasta, my daughter and I saw three UFOs.
Question: You are involved with Wicca I heard, is this true?
Answer: Yes.
Question: What public places have you investigated?
Answer: Mare Island Officer home which is now a business, the Masonic Building in Vallejo which was built in 1917. Barthomew Park Winery, Queen Anne’s Hotel SF, Tile place out on Mare Island and also the hospital on Mare Island. The Cypress forest on Moss Beach. Okay, let me get a breather, we also investigated a dental office in Benicia, old graveyards in Vallejo, Mare Island, Benicia, Napa and Sonoma, the Clock Tower in Benicia, Port Costa School and of course a variety of private residences. Oops! I just thought of one more place: Captain Blythers.

Question: What was the scariest investigation you ever been on?
Answer: When I was in the Vallejo Masonic Temple, I was pushed and I felt a hand on my shoulder, then later there was a hand print on my shoulder that appeared twenty minutes afterwards. This was our favorite place to go and we acquired a lot of evidence there.
Question: You mentioned feeling sad at one investigation. Where was this at and what did you discover, you mentioned something about amputees.
Answer: Mare Island Hospital would surgically remove limbs from patients and send the cut off limbs down a shoot to the furnace. I felt something weird about this place and picked up on possible amputee patients and later learned I was right.
Question: You have gypsy eyes; do you have gypsy blood in you?
Answer: Possibly, I always felt I may have gypsy blood.
Question: Are you into Goth too?
Answer. Yes, I have always liked the color black.

Answer: Different people do the circle, from Celtic to Norse, etc. We always do a prayer for who ever needs energy and place this in the center.
Question: What is the story of the mysterious death of one of your dogs?
Answer: Her name was Shasa, she was found in my garage and it looked like a Chupacabra had gotten to her. She was slashed from chest to ankle bone. There was no blood trail coming from any of our streets around our home. To this day we have no clue what happened to our dog.
