Kristen Perkins Kristen Perkins – Co-Founder
Email Kristen
At about the age of ten, Kristen’s interest in the unexplained began to emerge. Personal experiences fueled a youthful curiosity that slowly matured into a passion that still motivates her today. Kristen believes that the answers we seek are simply waiting for the proper techniques to be developed in order for them to be found. Her vision is for the day to come when we have tested our theories and developed methods by which we will ultimately be able to satisfy this curiosity.
Brian Willis Brian Willis – Co-Founder
Email Brian
Having had a couple of childhood experiences, Brian has seemingly always been interested in the paranormal. However, he didn’t realize how much he was going to enjoy actually going to locations to actively seek the unknown. The more he investigates, the more he wants to investigate. He isn’t the type to scream “Ghost!” at every bump in the night, and needs a bit of proof and convincing before he is impressed by evidence or data collected. This, he feels, is a quality of a good investigator.

Email Melissa
A native Texan, Melissa came to Oklahoma after marriage and established her family there. A lifelong desire to understand the unknown and the unexplained led her eventually to a degree in Anthropology, and then into work in the preservation of historic buildings. She believes that a blending of science, faith, and healthy skepticism can lead us to the answers we seek regarding the paranormal.
Kristi Ayers Kristi Ayers – Case Manager – Residential
Email Kristi
Kristi has a background in nursing in the area where life begins, yet is curious what happens when life ends, hence her involvement with the paranormal.

Jamie Glazier Jamie Glazier – Investigator
Email Jamie
Like many investigators my interest in the paranormal began as a child. A few unusual experiences made such a deep imprint on me that I feel compelled to search for a better understanding of the afterlife. With a Bachelor’s degree in biology I am familiar with the scientific approach to investigating. I believe continuing technological advances combined with level-headed, scientific minds will provide our generation with stunning insights of what exists beyond the five senses. I feel fortunate to play a part in this endeavor.
Mark Fairchild Mark Fairchild – Tech Manager / InvestigatorEmail Mark
Like for most in this field, my curiosity for the unexplained started in my teenage years. Too many odd things were happening in my life for me to just ignore as if it never happened. So I submerged myself into all things paranormal. Ghost/ Spirits, Ufology, Cryptozoology, Conspiracy Theories, Etc. I make it a point to view things with the right mind set and try to pass that on to others. During the day you can catch working at a local BBQ joint and doing theatre all over OKC.

Sandra Derrick Sandra Derrick – Monitor Technician
Email Sandra
I grew up in a family that was very open to the possibility of paranormal phenomena.. Several of my relatives have personal stories about paranormal experiences, although none of them are in my immediate family. So I always believed that there was “something” out there, and my inquisitive nature leads me to try to find out just what that “something” is. I have a BA in Criminal Justice and over 20 years experience in law enforcement and want to apply the investigative skills I acquired there to the paranormal field.
Danny Chabino Danny Chabino – Statistician / Investigator
Email Danny
I have been interested in the paranormal for as long as I can remember. Although I have not had much in the way of paranormal experiences, the topic absolutely fascinates me. It is the appeal of something that is likely the best example of the unexplained and mysterious that drives my ambition to understand more. I perform a lot of research in the area, studying the statistics and possible connections of data. I prefer a constant state of neutrality, not fully committing to a belief in supernatural beings, yet holding myself wide open to the likelihood of it.

Wayne Harris-Wyrick – Investigator
Email Wayne
Wayne has always been fascinated with ghosts. About 20 years ago, he heard of people who were able to capture ghostly voices on recorders and after some odd occurrences in his house, he set up a recorder, turned it on and went to bed. The next day, after listening to nearly 2 hours of silence punctuated only by the heater going on and off, he heard LOUD scratching and growling sounds. He is more convinced than ever that spirits or entities from other dimensions or, whatever, can interact with us by some means not understand. “I am constantly looking for new, scientifically rigorous ways to verify their existence.” His day job is the director of the Kirkpatrick Planetarium of Science Museum Oklahoma.
