Who are you?
Trevor Scott Gibson, that guy over there.

Do you believe in Reincarnation?
In my own way I do believe.

Who do you think you were in your past life (or lives)?
Wouldn’t know, and I don’t feel the need to actually find out, I’m alive now in this life, anything else is just superfluous.

What are your thoughts on Para Unity?
I think it’s fairly important that different groups share ideas, it is the only way to streamline investigations, and improve gear, and hopefully, maybe, taken seriously.

Have you ever investigated a Church? What are your thoughts on this?
I have as yet not investigated at a church; To me a church is just another building, and there are lots of them, and if you think about it enough, wherever you are could be a church, deities are not part of buildings, and the building itself is not the deity.

When having a joint investigation with another team(s), how do you select the team(s) or members of other teams that you invite?
Never have been in that situation as yet, though I would hope to pair off with people compatible, and team up less experienced with the more experienced.

What do you tell someone looking to join a team, what should they look for or ask?
Be yourself, and look for a team you would think you can get along with, every team and person is different, and they handle things differently so join one that respects or upholds your idea of what you want out of ghost hunting.

Any advice to a group just starting out?
Keep at it. Expect lots of long hours of review. Carry on.

Do you think it’s important to share findings with others in the paranormal community?
Yes, for the most part, it’s one of the few things that will make the community grow.

You run across a team that you feel gives a bad name to the field.  How do you handle the situation?
If avoidance is not an option, keep to a professional (if standoffish) demeanor.

Do you confront them about it?
I would only confront them if they are impeding my investigation, purposefully sabotaging another groups findings, or if they were imposing their own morals or ideals on a client, since it’s not up to us to tell the client what to believe, regardless of what evidence we have.

Do you feel it is important to do a background investigation on the location (land/building) that you’re going to investigate?
Definitely, most places has it’s own (rich) history, and it’s possible to find even earlier mentions of haunting on the property, and for the debunkers, recent land surveys and tests, since the moans and bumps could just simply be the castle sinking into the swamp.

Who are you?
Trevor Scott Gibson, modern day man of the world, or at least Pennsylvania.

Explain your Methodology?
Personal experiences/feelings/hunches what-have-you, coupled with scientific study and experimentation with a debunking focus.

Favorite Haunts?
Haven’t been on many investigations as yet, so my experience is a tad limited, so far I don’t have a particular “favorite”.

Personal Experiences?
Again, I have limited investigation experiences, so I don’t have many personal experiences from investigations.

Why did you get into the Paranormal?
To make friends and influence ghosts? Okay, in all seriousness, curiosity, plain and simple.

Whats next?
More investigations (ugh! so much review!)

Do you think that paranormal shows (radio/TV/Internet) give groups a bad reputation?
Since I rarely actually watch those shows, I don’t have a real opinion one way or the other about it

Who is the person in the paranormal field you look up to the most or want to be like?
I don’t really know that many people in the field really, to me a name is just that, typically it’s a name attached to enough money to have connections and equipment, and that’s all some of the big “names”  are.

Have you made a page on www.paranormaldictionary.com?
Not as yet, as I do not feel I have much to add that isn’t already in there, perhaps at some point down the road I might do an article about building IR lights.

Name some Random Facts about you?
I’m 6’3” tall, like to build/refurbish classic 1970’s mopeds (the ones with pedals), and I spend too much time on the computer.

Are you a skeptic or a believer?
I’d like to think that I’m somewhere in the middle, I don’t discount the possibility, but I’d like to have some solid proof.

Who Are You?

I’m Joe Kline, one of the founding members of the Paranormal Encounter Documentation and Research Organization, or P.E.D.R.O. for short.

What are your thoughts on networking with other teams or investigators?

We do it all the time! It’s great getting together with other groups that are interested in what we are doing.

Hunter, Investigator, Researcher – What do you want to be referred to and why?

All are fine, but we think of ourselves as documentarians there to capture whatever may occur to the best of our abilities.

What is your most memorable paranormal experience?

Probably the one that got me started when I was young. Several people including myself witnessed a full torso in broad daylight.

Have you ever had an experience where you’ve crossed a spirit over?

No. As group we try not to attach any theological explanations to what we capture. That’s not our place.

Did you have experiences while growing up?

As I grew up studying the paranormal and ghost hunting, absolutely.

What is your favorite Paranormal Show (TV/Internet/Radio?

Probably Ghost Adventures, not to say that it’s more real or accurate than the other shows, but it is the most fun to watch.

What are your thoughts about Provoking?

We don’t practice it as a group. We prefer to use trigger objects and we like to remain positive. You catch more flies with honey than vinegar.

What are your thoughts about Orbs? Dust or spirit? How do you tell the difference?

Most are dust but not all. We have a photography expert on our team that has been a professional photographer for many years. He knows the technical stuff and keeps us from posting dust and moisture.

Would you ever use a Medium or Psychic on your team?

Not regularly, but we are open to the idea. It would have to be someone that’s comfortable with us having to substantiate everything and not presenting anything we don’t have conclusive evidence for.
