Why I became a Paranormal Investigator by Marybeth Capane

 I have always had a deep love and interest in the paranormal ever since I was a child.  I had what I now believe were paranormal experiences.  On a few occasions, I can remember lying in my bed when I was quite small & hearing “voices” in the room, I am not talking about one or two voices but many, many voices talking all at once. I can remember covering my head wishing they would be quiet just so I can sleep.  There were many stories my grandmother had told me about the house being haunted by coal miners which were killed during the depression (1930’s) near the area of  my house.  I wish I knew back then what I was hearing, but being so young I didn’t understand.  I have had many other experiences while growing up, looking back on them now, only deepens my love for the paranormal. 

 People ask me if I am afraid, I tell them “No, I am not afraid, the dead cannot hurt you, only the living can”.

Growing up in a coal-mining town, Barry has always been fond of things that go “bump in the night.” As a young child, Barry had his first paranormal experience when he saw a man come out of his grandmother’s bedroom, pull down the stairs to the attic and climb up into the attic. At the time Barry’s family was watching football and ignored his claims that there was a man in the house. After that night, and as Barry grew older, his fascination with the Paranormal grew stronger. In 2007, he pursued a group from Florida called the SPIRITeam because he wanted to learn more. Not even a year later Barry started the Society for Paranormal Investigations, Research Ideas & Theory. Barry is a Paranormal Investigator because he believes what people are experiencing is just not one-sided and he hopes to help those people understand and remain comfortable with the other side. In his journey, he also has intentions on helping any spirit that may need aid from this side. Barry plans on being involved in the Paranormal until the day he gets to experience being Paranormal himself.
