Throughout her youth, Trish was regularly visited by what
her young mind believed was her Guardian Angel. Encounters with this being
were quite comforting and beautiful, though never discussed within her family.
Always a fun mystery as well, her father would quite frequently tell everyone
who was on the phone and who they were calling for .... before the phone
rang. Strangely enough (in retrospect), this too was simply accepted within
the family, but never delved into. These things gave Trish the strongly held
belief that paranormal occurrences were probably very common for others,
and that they were both enjoyable and helpful. Sheltered from 'dark' images
and films, it wasn't until later years that she discovered that some paranormal
events can leave many haunted, terrified and emotionally
scarred.
Much of Trish's adult life has been spent educating
others. She began with a part time job teaching students to play musical
instruments twenty-five years ago, and for the last seventeen, she has been
in business for herself bringing outreach educational programs to schools,
hospitals and recreation centers. Through her company, Fun Learning Adventures,
Inc., Trish educates and entertains more than sixteen thousand students each
year. In her second job as the Director of Youth and Family Ministry at Unity
of the Palm Beaches, she develops and implements programming that teaches
the next generation about the Unity movement. More than simply a job, Trish
finds that educating people is where her life repeatedly takes
her.

At
a young age, Tim and his brother had frightening encounters with an entity
in the woods near his home, which began a haunting that his family and some
friends endure to this day. It was the catalyst for his interest and passion
in the paranormal, and he now has over 35 years of research and investigations
in violent paranormal
phenomenon.
Tim honed his investigative skills while serving
five years as a ambulance medic, and working for the Lake Worth Police
Department. He also served as a counselor with the Childrens Youth and Family
Services in Florida for six years. He has investigated some of the most famous
haunting locations in the United States including the Bell Witch property,
Appomattax and Gettysburg, The "Amityville Horror" Haunting and The Devil's
Tramping Ground.
Tim is a much sough-after public speaker on
the topic of violent hauntings, his personal family experiences having placed
him at the forefront of vast knowledge on the subject. He has spoken
at Colleges and Universities, paranormal conferences and conventions around
the country on the subject of violent hauntings. He is the webmaster of "The
Official Amityville Horror Website" which he created with his good friend
George Lutz and is currently in pre-production with Steve LaChance, Denice
Jones and the Booth Brothers on a three-part reality epic entitled "Haunted
Survivors".

A lifetime fan of all things supernatural and
ghostly, Jason Gowin started his interest in the paranormal as a mere child
watching Scooby-Doo and Ghostbusters. The seeds these shows planted would
later sprout him going to the local library as a kid and picking up every
book he could on ghosts, demons and strange occurrences. But it wasnt
until meeting his former teammates from Ghost Hunters, Incorporated that
he began to look for the spooks that spooked in the night.Jason Gowin began
his actual trek into the unknown back in the fall of 1998 with the infamous
paranormal investigation group Ghost Hunters, Incorporated, where he spent
the better part of 10 years causing chaos wherever and whenever they could.
Upon meeting George Lutz, the man who was the basis for the Amityville Horror
book and movies, and being shown a new path; changed his mind about certain
things in the paranormal and sought out a new way in which to search for
it that suited the not quite so blood thirsty (not literary) methods that
he had become famous along with his GHI buddies for dishing out. While his
convictions about the state of the paranormal remain the same, Hes
taken along with former GHI Alum and friends Bill Angove and Matt Ulkins,
along with new comer to the paranormal Kyle Haggerty to continue bringing
you an alternate source of paranormal information with the same brand of
humor hes always been known for..he just cant be jumping into
dumpsters and riding shopping carts into curbs anymore
his body says
no more or it will no longer allow him to get out of bed in the morning,
it made this very
clear.
Although he left the group in 2007, GHI will
always have a fond place in his heart and since that time he has been searching
out proof of the afterlife and finding it in haunted houses, storied battlefields
and long forgotten graveyards. Jason has appeared numerous times on Ghostly
Talk Paranormal Radio and the Ghostman and Demon Hunter show. His investigations
have been published in the Encyclopedia of Haunted Places by Jeff Bellanger.
He has also been the basis for several widely released documentaries including
New Gil Pictures The Graveyard Shift and Fight or Flight Films
award winning GHI vs BIGFOOT amongst other videos about paranormal
phenomenon. In 2008, Jason was asked by longtime friend and mentor
in the paranormal Tim Yancey to become a co-host of the Encounters Paranormal
Radio Program. So Gow, Bill, Matt and Haggerty hopped into their cars, packed
up their crap and headed on down to the sunny, warm gorgeousness of West
Palm Beach, Florida to join in on new paranormal adventures.
