Ray:  Investigator - He is another wonderful addition to our team.

I was born and raised in Sacramento.  In 1992, I enlisted in the Air Force and spent 10
years on active duty.  My assignments took me to Alaska, Texas, Illinois, England,
Saudi Arabia, and numerous other places.  

My nationality is half Guamanian (Guam) and half Japanese.  Growing up, my family
would tell me legends about Guam.  The legends would consist of ghosts, a mermaid,
and many other stories.  In Guam there are spirits known as taotaomonas.  They are
said to be the spirits of the ancient people of Guam.  If these spirits like you, they will
leave bruises on you that do not hurt.  If the bruises hurt, it is a sign that they do not
like you.  It seemed as though most of my family had some experience with ghosts.  All
the stories probably had something to do with my strong belief in the paranormal and
led me to read numerous books on the subject.

My wife has had experiences with ghosts.  The first time, she was pregnant with my son.
 We were staying in temporary housing on Elmendorf Air Force Base in Alaska.  
She was walking out of the bedroom to head to the kitchen.  On the way through the
living room, she noticed an older gentleman standing there.  I went out and there was no
one there and the doors were locked.  The second time she was pregnant with my
daughter.  We were living on Scott Air Force Base, Illinois at the time.  She was
going downstairs (we were living in a townhouse) and as she walked through the living
room she noticed a little boy sitting on the couch.  During this time, my son was upstairs
and looked nothing like the boy sitting on the couch.  In both instances, we had found
out that family members had passed on recently.

Walter:  Investigator -  He has an open mind and is a skeptic equally balanced.

I was born in the Philippines in June of 1973, but with my father being in the U.S.
Navy, I have lived in many places and attended many schools, from the island of Guam
to the east coast of the United States.  I've lived in Sacramento since 1988.  My
interest in the paranormal goes way back to when I was kid watching shows like the
original "In Search of.." and "That's Incredible".   If any of you remember those shows
then, yeah, I'm getting old.  Well those shows really sparked my interest so much that I
read books on ghosts and hauntings throughout the world for years.   Although I've
never personally experienced anything paranormal growing up, I've always kept that
level of an open mind but with an equal level of skepticism.  I do believe there are ghosts
around us and do believe that ghosts, one day will not just be considered "paranormal",
but "normal" in nature.  My goal is to bring a sense of honesty, objectivity, obtaining
evidence of real hauntings, and helping those who are not only experiencing paranormal
activity, but to understand with them the reasons of their experiences.  


Day Job:  Full time husband, father, and state employee.
Hobbies:  Watching movies, traveling, hanging out with family and friends, and
        watching my daughter grow up with my wife.
