There are many paranormal groups out there for you to choose from. Many of them good, some not so good. You have to be careful because of how easy it is nowadays for someone to watch a season or two of the show Ghost Hunters, put up a website, buy some equipment, and call themselves "ghost hunters" without having any other experience. Due to the immense popularity of these shows, new groups are constantly coming out of the woodwork only to disappear again a year or two later. It takes more to be a ghost hunter than spending a lot of money on equipment and knowing what a residual haunting is. Matt and Amanda have 5 and 10 years investigating experience already, and we have excellent references, are reliable, neat and always leave a place like we found it. Our group doesn't use psychics or run on "feelings", but rather, by scientific mode of operation, and because Matt has some background-study in Parapsychology, we find that the scientific approach is the best, leaving less room for bias based on feelings, and more room for real data, based on evidence gathered during an investigation.

Justin Krogstad
Justin Krogstad has always been interested in the supernatural, though he considers himself an "open-minded skeptic" when it comes to such things. He was recently introduced to formal paranormal investigations by Midwest Preternatural, and will be assisting with future endeavors in an attempt to satisfy his own curiosity, and perhaps gain evidence one way or the other as to the existence of such anomalies. As a Deputy Sheriff with a BS in psychology, his investigative skills and training will be an invaluable asset to our group.
