| From the time I was a small child I have always “known” of the existence of spirits and had a fascination with the paranormal. Only through time, has it rendered me with the ability to gain more of an understanding of the paranormal and the coexistence that we live among. I have had many personal “paranormal” experiences. For the longest time my “skeptic” side however would take over and I would rationalize the events so that I could make sense of them. I really wish I would have began journaling so many years back, many missing pieces would have fallen into place a lot sooner. Although still somewhat of a skeptic I believe it is important to give balance to the scientific research side and the “sensitive” side when investigating the paranormal. I have, so many times been in the company of other paranormal investigators, enthusiast' and the like, and when witnessing or reviewing evidence, seen them discard or accept said evidence without having or giving space to either of these sides. I believe both are needed to accurately investigate the paranormal effectively. That being said, proof may somewhat be in the pudding, as to per say, however if I am in a suspected haunted location and I “hear” a disembodied voice and yet my recorder doesn't, some weight will be given that a spirit tried to make contact. I think so many times, we get so wrapped up in our day-to-day existence and we don't heed and learn from the lessons that God gives us during our short time here on earth. These lessons, I believe once learned gives great growth and strength to our souls. Sadly, however our abilities to react on our “gut feelings,” or communicate with the spirit world becomes tainted with the ignorance of our previous generations due to their own fear, stigma or just plan lack of knowledge on the subject of the paranormal, this indeed lends a trickle down effect from their generations as well. That being said, in reference to the spirit world making their presence known, we are definitely on a rise in a positive direction, spirit is making its presence known to those that seek it and to those whom don't. There are many people, like myself through their passions for the paranormal, will continue to give “time” to spirit and receive it's messages and visits with absolutely no expectations or desire for personal benefits. There are those as well, who are non-believers. My thoughts on these individuals is, they have the right to believe what they want, as do I, and I enjoy their side and the discussions that ensue with them, however its the lack of their open mindedness, that troubles me, and I believe short changes them during their lifetime. However respect is given to them and their beliefs, just not shared. I, for a long time tried to find a “fit,” or group to belong to in the paranormal community. Fate, I believe, stepped in and prevented me from finding my “mate”. I would never seem to have the same beliefs; interests or I would just have this “gut feeling,” that I just didn't belong. Sometime along this journey the doors began to open and like minded individuals began manifesting and great things started to take place! I, with the help of my two co~founders, begin developing the concept of TPR, The Paranormal Realm in 2006. We slowly began investigating, researching and honing our skills in the local cemeteries, we had many long discussions over our beliefs and experiences, and investigated some well known haunted locations, through all of this we found that we astoundingly blended very well to each other while in a research environment, each lending special abilities or talents to the investigations. How are we, TPR, different than any other paranormal group/ investigators? To us its not about a competition, its not about supremacy between organizations, its about having a life long passion to effectively research, document and pursue our purpose of receiving communication from those who once was here on earth, and researching what we KNOW exist. In the future, I believe the non-believers will decrease, the research of the paranormal will continue to grow, and more than anything I hope that respect and time is given more freely to those who reside among us.

| Every since I was old enough to understand death, in a Christian out look, as to per say, I have always wondered about the supernatural world. I truly believe in the existence of some type of spirit beings that are among us every day. It wasn’t until the passing of my mother in 2006, that I really wanted to devote time into researching the paranormal realm. I believe God has a plan for all of us. Through some fashion or form, the afterworld wants to keep contact with those in the present life. I think in a lot of ways it’s his way of letting us know to stay grounded to our faith and belief. Anyone whom has lost a loved one could probably testify that they sometimes can feel the presence of them, through different signs or special things occurring day to day and throughout our life. I really didn’t know where to begin in actually conducting investigations. To my surprise, the answer was right in front of me. My long time friend, Rochelle had these curiosities as well. She had been doing some of her own investigations with another researcher. I was surprised! After all, this is some of those things many people tend to not talk about much, or even admit that they have; for a lack of better words, a drawing to. Many are worried about the scrutiny they may receive due to their interest in the paranormal. My belief is that there is more proof than not, there is an existence of spirits or ghosts. Every role with our team is vital. It takes team work and sometimes countless hours in analyzing and reviewing our work from each job. As for me, my role with the team consists of investigating, documentation and assisting in analyzing video and EVP’s (electronic voice phenomenon). We use a series of different software, where we are able to bring these discoveries to reality and have given a sense of confirmation to what our faith always knew. Our journey into "ghost hunting" has heightened our appreciation and awareness of history, religion and science as well as the paranormal. We hope you enjoy our site, as it is a work in progress just like the study and research of the paranormal. If you may any questions, please feel free to contact us. ~Robb |
I guess you could call me the “skeptic” of the group. I joined this paranormal adventure with an open mind and with the thought that
“maybe” there is something more to the paranormal phenomenon that is occurring around the world. Through the many late nights of
hanging out in notorious haunted places and cemeteries, there have been a few situation’s that has made me think that maybe we do
live among something that is invisible to the naked eye.
For me to believe, I think it’s going to take seeing the holy grail of the paranormal, the full bodied apparition.
Through the use of the many different types of equipment we use, this enables us to research a location with possible paranormal
activity and in turn lends to the evidence that even a “skeptic” can believe.
I am one of the co~founders of The Paranormal Realm, along with my chief investigator role I am also fulfilling the role of technical
support. I presently set up the locations with all of the equipment and if it’s not working I am the one who will fix it.
I believe that with the many dedicated paranormal investigators out there, one of us will unveil this proof.
