Writers such as John Keel, Jacques Vallee, Hans Holzer and others set him on course to spend his life exploring and investigating the unexplained.

Dave Spinks
Dave Spinks has been researching and investigating the paranormal in various aspects since 1986, due to several experiences he had as a young man. He retired from over a 20-year career in the U.S. military and federal law enforcement. Since 2011, he has investigated the paranormal on a full-time basis, conducting several hundred investigations. He has investigated some of the most notoriously haunted locations in the United States and even a few in Europe. Dave has investigated numerous private residences and has witnessed some of the most hair raising and unnerving things one can imagine while investigating the paranormal. His sole purpose in investigating the paranormal is to answer some of man’s greatest questions: Is there life after death? Are we alone in the universe? Are there unknown creatures walking among us? He believes there is, and that alone is his motivation.

Sean Austin (Brainwaves Horror and Paranormal Talk Radio interview here)
Although Sean Austin had always wholeheartedly believed in the paranormal, becoming an investigator was by mistake. After six years of unexplained, science-fiction like experiences that still baffle him today, Sean passionately continues his search for evidence of the unknown. Sean was a featured investigator on the pilot series, “The Demon Files”, which aired on Destination America. It was while jumping headfirst into this new realm of the supernatural that Sean triggered new medium abilities. He could now marry his own equipment with all the other types of technologically advanced man-made equipment to provide evidence of this unknown world.
