Our Board of Directors

Hi, my name is Chuck and I am Director of Operations for NEARPS.  I have studied the Paranormal for many years and back in 2007 my wife and I decided to form a group to help people who have things happening in their homes and have nowhere else to turn.  I believe spirits and Haunting do exist although most supposed Haunting can be explained by natural means. Therefore, we take an open minded approach to our investigations. When not investigating, I spend my time working on the NEARPS website or working at my full time factory job.  I have been an Amateur Radio operator since 2002 and I also have experience at computer repair and custom builds, website design, and general computer knowledge.  For this reason, I also currently run the Tech dept. at NEARPS, although this will someday be delegated to someone else who can run it to our exacting standards.

Hi, my name is Dana and I am Director of Information for NEARPS.  I must admit that until we formed the group, NEARPS, and started publicly investigating the paranormal,  I was a firm skeptic. Since then, however, I have had many personal experiences and have captured numerous anomalies on camera and on audio that cannot be explained by natural means.  I am now a believer in the paranormal and urge anyone who is a skeptic not to "knock it until you try it".  When not investigating, I stay busy by taking care of my husband and two children, Austyn and Becca, not to mention our two dogs and two cats.  In my spare time, I enjoy playing the Wii and watching movies.

Director of Investigations CURRENTLY VACANT

Reserve Members

Hi, my name is Carol, and I'm a retired widow. I've always been interested in things out of the ordinary. Now I have time to become a part of investigating paranormal activities. I'm open minded, but the ultimate skeptic. I'm here to support and do whatever is needed with each investigation. I'm new, but a quick learner. My spare time is spent quilting, doing genealogy, reading, and being with my friends and family. Looking forward to working with everyone and learning all about the paranormal. Glad to be a part of such a professional group of people.

Junior Members

Hi, my name is Becca and I am a Junior Investigator of the group, NEARPS.  I am a firm believer in the paranormal and I have witnessed many things since I have started investigating with the group.  I use my digital camera and help Mom and Dad with the EVP work sometimes.  I have a lot of fun investigating but I am old enough to understand that our work must be taken seriously, especially when dealing with clients who need our help.  In my spare time, I enjoy listening to music and playing on the computer.  I am a huge Taylor Swift fan and I am SO happy that mom and dad got me tickets for the concert in Jonesboro, AR on April 24, 2009.  It was SO much fun!!! I am also a fan of Kellie Pickler.  I am 13 years old and I am in the 8th grade and joined band when I was in the 5th grade to learn to play the flute.

Hi, my name is Austyn and I am only 9 years old so I don't get to go on a lot of investigations.  Mom and Dad let me go along sometimes when they aren't going to do an investigation at someone's house and aren't going to be out too late.  I really enjoy it, especially when Dad lets me use the EMF thing that beeps and has a flashing light on it.  I believe in ghosts because I have seen them.  Sometimes, I can see ghosts when no one else can.  This happened once at Scatterville Cemetery near Rector, AR.  I saw a ghost of a black man hanging from the "Hanging Tree" by his neck.  He spoke to me and said "Take Me Down".  It was kind of scary but Dad said that he wasn't going to hurt me and that he was just asking me to help him. Dad recorded me when I was telling him about it, ask him to let you hear it sometime.  I would have helped him but I didn't know how except to pray for him and ask Jesus to save him.  I enjoy playing games on my Nintendo DS and Wii, watching Sponge bob Square pants, and riding my bike.

This is all of the NEARPS team until we add another member.  Dana and I believe that each and every member is a valuable asset to our team and look forward to many investigations together.  As you can see, all are very anxious to help you if you feel you have a possible haunting at your home or business.  All you have to do is contact us through the banner on our homepage or call us on the NEARPS Hotline at (870) 568-5672 and you may have some or all of us conducting an investigation at your home or business real soon.

Do you believe you have the desire, dedication, and qualifications to get your name added onto the NEARPS roster?  We would love to meet you!  You can fill out our membership application online by clicking here.  But you really should read all of this first.
