Why do I do this?

To be honest, I've been interested in the paranormal all my life.
My mother was very much into the paranormal and often talked about ghosts.

We've had experiences that I could now figure out as the influence of environmental factors 
in our old house.

Old wiring connected to next generation wiring connected to new wiring....dirt floor in the basement...
methane....the horsehair plaster breaking down....Things we didn't think of in those days...
and that many don't now.

We've also had experiences here that at least at this point in my life I can't explain.

My sister used to talk to an imaginary old lady on the stairway of our old homestead.
Eventually she became upset with this lady whom she said wouldn't let her come down the stairs.

We had a front door that slammed open for a week, and always at the same time of night...hard enough to put 
a hole in the wall....with a family full of witnesses who watched for it after the first couple of nights.
The last night the screen door slammed open instead of the main door, and Mom declared it over.

There have been more, but none necessary to mention here.

When the opportunity came to join a real group (instead of doing my own thing for so many years)  presented
itself, I jumped at the chance, especially to work with such experienced investigators.

Distance and time have prompted me to form my own group in my area, but I appreciate the time and lessons 
learned.

It was so cool, doing what I love in a group atmosphere, but my focus has changed.

We've had a very positive effect on people's homes and lives.
I don't know if we're all aware of the huge responsibility we have to our clients.
Most of the time we don't get calls for help unless the client is at the end of his rope.
