About Me

I have been intrigued by the supernatural and paranormal for as far back as I can remember. I had never seen anything myself, just pictures and stories in books and documentaries. All of that changed when was 16.  

My parents have 11.5 wooded acres in Pennsylvania just past the Ohio line off of I-90. It was there, my best friend PJ and I both saw what we believe was a big foot. One fall evening, we were playing paint ball in the woods. Sometime between 10 pm and midnight, we both started shooting at what we though was the other. About 10 ft away, a massive creature stood. I am 6’8”, and whatever was in the woods that night was taller than me. I took off running down the trail faster than I ever had, before or since. When I came to the trail head, PJ just about knocked me over running towards the house. We looked at each other and said “did you see that? What the hell was it?” We quickly agreed we had no idea what we had seen out there and continued to run like hell back to the house. Even today, 25 years later, we both still remember that night vividly – and we still have no explanation as to what the creature could have been, other than a big foot. 

My next experience with the paranormal/supernatural, would come 4 or 5 years later. I was attending school at Columbus State Community college, in Columbus, Ohio. I saw a very attractive woman in an old 1800's style red dress in Aquinas Hall as I was coming up the stairs into the hallway of that floor. She was walking down the hall at the other end. I figured there was a renaissance fair or club or something along those lines. I was curious and walked down the hallway. I looked away for a moment and she was gone. I stuck my head in the nearest class room and it was empty. I went to the other staircase and a guy coming on to the floor from the way asked if I had seen where the woman in the red dress went. I said I thought she went down the hallway he had just come down. He said he saw her heading in my direction. At the time I thought it was very strange but did not think it was supernatural. A few weeks later Becky, my friend and fellow student ambassador, told me that Aquinas Hall was supposedly haunted by a woman in a red dress. I told Becky what I had seen a few weeks back. She then shared a story of her own.  A few weeks earlier her father was visiting campus. Naturally, she gave him a tour of the school. She left him for a moment to say hello to a friend. Shortly after, she found him sitting on a bench in front of Aquinas Hall. As she approached, she saw he was talking but did not see anyone nearby. Becky asked her father who he had been talking to. He told her there had been a pretty woman in a dress sitting next him just a second ago. 

Several months later I would have a second supernatural experience at Columbus State. This time in the library. I had a large project to work on so I ventured to the top floor of the library, hoping to be by myself. After about an hour I heard children running around and laughing. It went on for a little while before my inner old man came out and I went looking for the adult in charge of those kids disrupting my concentration. I could not find anyone else on the floor. The noise stopped so I went back to work in my quiet corner. A few minutes later the kids were back. I eventually went looking for an adult again I could not find anyone and the noise stopped again. I went back to my spot and the kids were back this time I just let it go finished what I needed too and the library was about to close. I went to the restroom and collected my stuff to leave. As I was leaving, I startled one of the librarians as she was locking the doors. She said she did not realize anyone else was still in the building. I asked her if the group of kids who had been running around had left while I was in the restroom. She told me that no one had come in hours and they had thought I slipped out earlier. 

As a student ambassador I gave campus tours regularly and knew a lot of people who worked at the college. I started asking around and discovered that other people had shared similar experiences. Hearing kids playing, but no one could find them. Some had even complained to staff members but they too, never found anyone. Columbus State Community College is rumored to have been built on an old Catholic cemetery. Some people believe the spirits of the disturbed graves haunt the school to this day. 

In the years that followed my interest in the paranormal/supernatural only grew more. I watched every documentary I could find. I started investigating haunted locations whenever possible. I also continued to search state and national parks or any other area I could get access too for Sasquatch or any other Cryptids out there.
