Kathy ~Social Worker to GHOSTS and the LIVING!

About Me

Hi, I am Kathy Wolboldt, LSW, Co-Founder of the Springfield (Ohio) Ghost Hunters Society www.springfieldghosthunter.com AND member of Kristy Hinkles' Celestial Paranormal and Research (CPRI) Team, www.celestialparanormal.com. I am also an honorary member of several other paranormal investigation teams in Ohio. I have been an active Paranormal Investigator for 13 years and strongly believe in PARANORMAL COMMUNITY UNITY. I recently changed careers to allow me to spend more time GHOST HUNTING or should I say "GHOST HELPING"! Until April 2007, I was a Child Abuse Investigator for 15 years. Now, I am in prison and hope to spend the next 15-20 years there.....working as a Social Worker! My forensic interviewing and investigating skills that I learned over the last 15 years conducting Child Abuse Investigations have become very useful in investigating hauntings. I would like to specialize my ghost hunting/paranormal investigations by specifically interviewing children who have experienced or are experiencing Paranormal Activity. Eventually, I would like to become a presenter at Paranormal Conferences around the USA to teach other Paranormal Investigators how to conduct witness interviews using basic Forensic Interviewing Techniques and train others how to interview children. BTW, I am a Licensed Social Worker (LSW) with the State of Ohio and trained extensively in forensic interviewing of adults/children experiencing trauma. If you are a PARANORMAL GROUP in OHIO, INDIANA, MICHIGAN, KENTUCKY, WEST VIRGINIA or PENNSYLVANIA, I am available as a professional courtesy to participate in your Pre-Investigation information gathering stage by INTERVIEWING YOUR CLIENTS CHILDREN who are experiencing paranormal activity. For ALL OTHER GROUPS, I am available for phone consultations. PLEASE DO NOT HESITATE IN CONTACTING ME BECAUSE I AM ALWAYS AVAILABLE TO HELP YOU, YOUR CLIENTS AND THE PARANORMAL COMMUNITY. IF YOU SUSPECT A CHILD IS BEING ABUSED OR NEGLECTED PLEASE CONTACT YOUR LOCAL LAW ENFORCEMENT OR CHILD PROTECTIVE SERVICES AGENCY IN YOUR AREA. Or, visit http://www.childwelfare.gov/responding/reporting.cfm . Remember, PREVENT CHILD ABUSE...it can last a lifetime.

My Interests

PARANORMAL INVESTIGATIONS, PEOPLE (living, deceased or missing) and PREVENTING CHILD ABUSE. I love spending time my husband Gary and friends. I also enjoy my horses BB, Carrie and Phantom; my dogs Mean Midgie aka the Cairn Terror and Grover (sweetest yet not smartest Golden Retriever in the world).

I'd like to meet:

EVERYONE! After being a Child Abuse Investigator and now a social worker in a Prison, I have found EVERYONE has an interesting story to tell. I enjoy helping people through difficult times and especially people who are experiencing Paranormal activity. I also hope to be a SOCIAL WORKER for Ghosts....sounds a little crazy but crazy is what makes life fun!

Music:

I like all kinds of music...depends on my mood. I enjoy Jazz, classical, old time music and pop...with a little country thrown in.

Movies:

Fried Green Tomatoes is my ALL-TIME favorite movie....I cry every time. I like movies about drama and true life and of course, I love comedies! I also love old movies with Cary Grant, Bud & Costello, Bing and Bob. I will only watch horror movies if ALL the lights are on and someone is sitting directly beside me at all times.

Television:

I watch way too much TV! Hmm...I like any show about the Paranormal and ghosts and lately there seems to be an explosion of such shows! I like Home Improvement with Tim Allen and other comedies like "My Name Is Earl" and "The Office."

Books:

Patricia Cornwell is my favorite author for fiction. I like to read mostly non-fiction.

Heroes:

EVERY SINGLE PERSON I MEET WHETHER THEY ARE CLIENTS, INMATES, FRIENDS, FAMILY, FAMOUS PEOPLE or the GUY/GAL next to me on the airplane. Each and every person has a story to tell...they have all overcome difficulties or had meaningful experiences in their lives that makes them heroes to someone. I find everyone is a hero in their own right!
