Where It All Began
My journey into the world of paranormal investigating began in the fall of 2005 when my mother bought tickets to a local ghost hunt at Fort Delaware for me, herself, and my stepsister. I had never been on a ghost hunt before, and I had never lived through a paranormal experience I couldn’t explain. I didn’t even know what a ghost hunter was or what they did. Don’t get me wrong, I had some interest in the paranormal, but I was also a skeptic, as I still am to this day. I lived in a haunted house for several years but have no memories of it because we moved when I was six years old. My parents told me stories of unexplained things that happened while we lived in the house. Furniture often moved around on its own and my parents woke up to the contents of a dresser’s drawers dumped on the floor multiple times. 5
