Southern Paranormal Researchers

Tyler Wilson is a paranormal investigator that is what we call a skeptic believer. Growing up his mom, Brooksie, has told him stories about ghostly encounters that she experienced. Her experiences have motivated Tyler to research paranormal activity. Tyler is a tech member of Southern Paranormal Researchers and the Branch Manager of SPR-Huntsville. Tyler investigates using a logical and technical approach. Tyler uses technical equipment on investigations to help back paranormal activity with measurable and documented scientific proof. Using these tools can also show a relevance between the human senses and the equipments’ "senses."

Aaron’s first investigation was in March 2009 at the Kilgore House in Tuscaloosa, Alabama.  After having personal experiences, reviewing some of the evidence, and seeing video evidence from the house he knew that paranormal investigating was something he was interested in.  As a history major, the ability to research a location's past is one facet of what he attributes to the group.  Personally, Aaron feels the key to answering some client's questions can be found in a location's history.  Also, he feels the best way to advance the field of paranormal investigation as a science is to document paranormal activity in order to build a case to legitimize its existence.  However, our clients’ well-being is the number one priority and Aaron is fully committed to helping them in any way possible, and hope to be able to lay their fears to rest by finding natural causes of their personal experiences.

Jack has always had an interest in the paranormal ever since he was a kid playing with his Dad’s cassette recorder picking up strange voices which he would later learn were called E.V.P.S. When Jack was in college, he came face to face with a shadow man and ever since then he has wanted to learn more about the paranormal. One of the main reasons Jack joined S.P.R. Huntsville as a paranormal investigator was to help people who live in fear in their own house because of a haunting. Jack said, “if I can help people live their lives without fear and give them piece of mind when they go to bed at night I know I have done my job well."

The paranormal has been a part of Beverly’s life since childhood. She was fortunate as a child to have a wonderful grandmother who never told her that the paranormal was abnormal, but rather a part of the world around us. Beverly has always been interested in the paranormal or the “unconventional”. As she has grown older, stronger experiences led her to study and seek out more answers to the unknown or unexplained. Beverly had the pleasure of meeting some talented people and a great mentor along the way who has given her invaluable information on using her abilities and has been a great source of understanding.

Cathy has always enjoyed hearing ghost stories and wondered how much of them were real. Cathy was somewhat skeptical until she had kids and started to see how they behaved when spirits were present. Cathy wants to learn more about the unknown and loves having people to talk to that think along the same lines that she does. Cathy is the first to admit that she is still skeptical on certain things but she thinks that just makes it all the more interesting when something does happen that can't be explained.
