Founder/ Director

Ed- Founder/Director, Investigator

Ed is a retired Firefighter/Paramedic of thirty years. After he retired he still wanted to be able to help people and at the same time be able to use his knowledge, experience, and skills. He discovered that there were dedicated people and groups who were investigating for and researching the paranormal. That’s when he decided to do paranormal research and investigate the claims of ghosts and spirits. He found that he could put his thirty years of investigative training and experience to good use. He also found that his interest in history and architecture were met in this field of study.

He has dedicated himself to helping people ease their fears by finding out what is causing the activity people are experience, whether it be caused by natural causes or paranormal ones.

Brian- Assistant Director, Investigator, Researcher, Case Manager

Brian Daffern was born and raised in San Diego, CA and moved to Georgia with his wife Karen and their four daughters several years ago. Brian is a business professional, a writer, a former Marine, and holds technology and business degrees from two colleges. His passion lies in Paranormal investigation and is an experienced Paranormal Investigator and MUFON Field Investigator. When people experience trauma or severe life stressors, it is not uncommon for their lives to unravel. His great driver is to help explain and relieve the pain of people who have been through a traumatic/stressful paranormal experience.

Brian’s interest in the unknown started when he was young. The house at the end of his street was known for being haunted and very early on he tried to explain what was being seen and heard. Even though he never found the answers, he has spent his life trying to understand what more is out there and how to relate it to our lives. Throughout the years, he has experienced several unusual events including voices, electronic failures, voices, apparitions, and unexplainable movement of objects.

Brian is at heart a skeptic. He searches for data to support the experience. He knows that no single approach is the right one for every situation and continues to look for new ways to explain the unknown with technology to better understand the phenomenon.
He does believe there are things out there that defy explanation. When you have eliminated the possible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth.

Christie-Investigator

Christie Bradley lives in Franklin, GA with her husband Chris Bradley where they are raising their two children. She is currently employed at a local fire and water restoration company.

Being a paranormal investigator allows her the opportunity to meet people that share her interests in the paranormal world as well as help our clients when they are in need.
