I was always afraid to tell my family and friends about my experiences, afraid of being told that I was crazy. Now I don't care; I have seen a full-bodied shadow person on our farm, I have heard music playing (old music), felt cold spots, and had horrible dreams that have come true. My mother tells me that a few members on her side of the family "has the ability". Maybe I am crazy......

I believe there are unexplained forces, both good and evil.
I also believe that animals can haunt, residual? or intelligent? Who knows. I enjoy walking through old homes and trying to imagine the people that lived there throughout the years.
Our area has a full history, civil war, indian burial sites, and early settlements long since gone with only abandoned grave yards full of forgotten souls to mark their in history.

Pam Burnett Strauser

Investigator
From-Bloomfield, Missouri
Employed WW Wood in Dudley, Missouri

I have always been drawn to the paranormal. I remember as a child seeing something peering around the door at me only to be gone when I would get up to investigate. I also remember,as a teenager, lying in bed and the bed would sink down like someone had sat down on it. ( I later learned that my bedroom was also the bedroom of a young boy who died tragically on our property). Personal experiences like these have helped cultivate my interest in this subject. I believe working with BPI will answer many of the questions that I have.

Hopefully, through my experiences I will be able to offer comfort to those going through similar circumstances. graduated from Bernie High School in Bernie, Missouri in 1987. My family includes my husband of 23 years Dennis and our children a daughter 18 and a son 15. I believe in God and I also believe there is more to spirituality than what you learn in church. I feel that all religions are passionate about their God as Christians are. I have attended church for 15 years but feel that there is much more to this world than what I am being taught. I also know in my heart that there is more to our existence than we know, and I want to find out what it is.
I have always been very intrigued by the paranormal and the supernatural, and can't wait for the opportunity to investigate with this group. I watch the paranormal shows and anything else I can find pertaining to the paranormal, also researching the paranormal on the internet.

Our guardian angel.

SEMO Electric Coop Lineman

Dennis has been a lineman for eight years, prior to Semo Electric Coop. he worked for Pike Electric. Dennis has worked in a lot of high stress situations and has been able to keep a level head. He has travelled all over the Midwest and South repairing fallen power lines due to hurricanes, tornadoes, icestorms, and thunderstorms.

Dennis is not entirely a skeptic but he also doesn't jump to conclusions real fast either. He likes to think things through before determining if a sound, a sign, or a picture is a spirit. He knows there are a lot of things to factor in before declaring a place is haunted.
