AKA "The Guys"
Jeff Banks
Co-Founder/Lead Investigator
aka "Tech Guy" Jeff has always been intrigued by ghosts and the possibility of another world ever since he was a child. This interest has recently peaked with information on the internet and various famous television programs. He believes the many phenomena which occur in this field are not by coincidence. He tends to be very skeptical when it comes to any evidence which is collected that has not been thoroughly disproved by various other methods or techniques before actually being called paranormal.
His desire is to learn more about the field especially from a scientific and religious standpoint. Secondly, with the knowledge gained be able to help others understand and deal with these paranormal occurrences, more specifically helping them regain a normal life. Lastly, he would like to provide the knowledge he currently has with electronics and share this with others who are willing to learn, as well as, learn from experts within the filed on various pieces of equipment. Jeff retired from the Navy after 20 years of service. He has extensive experience in electronics specifically submarine communications. He holds a Bachelors degree in Workforce Education and Training. Currently, he works as a contractor for the U.S. Navy providing integrated logistical support for Ohio Class submarines. Dawn Banks

Jim Chianese
Co-Founder/Lead Investigator
aka "Non Tech Guy" At a very young age, Jim was interested in the paranormal. This interest started when he first watched the classic movie "The Uninvited" starring Ray Milland. Of course it didn't help that his parents took him to see "The Amityville Horror" because "Jaws" would have been too scary. Thanks to his Mother's love and belief in the Power of Three, his Aunt's tea leaves, and his open mind, he sought out books, people and the occasional class/workshop (thanks to Herman Slater's Magickal Child in NYC) concerning folklore, mythology, the occult, and various spiritual beliefs from around the world. He has spent his life in the study and practice of Witchcraft, Hermetic Philosophy, Alchemy, Tarot, and Dowsing. From his studies, Jim developed a strong belief in the afterlife and the spiritual energies which surround us.
He looks at any evidence with a very critical eye and will only say something is paranormal in nature when all other possibilities have been eliminated. He has a strong belief in service to his community and looks at paranormal investigation as an extension of that belief. Each case is a chance to help someone understand what may be happening so they can get back to a normal life with no fear of the unknown. Jim retired from the Navy after 27 years of service. He holds a Master's Degree in Operations Management. He has earned a Diploma in Alchemy and Hermetic Studies from the International Alchemy Guild. He is a practicing Witch for over 35 years and follows an eclectic spiritual path. He is a Reiki Master Teacher in Usui Shiki Ryoho Reiki (Usui Method of Natural Healing) and a Clinical Reflexologist. Gail Chianese
