About Me

An interest which pervades my life is seeking to reveal what are the essential causes of reported hauntings and assorted unexplained phenomena. Paranormal investigation can be a dead end unless approached with a sense objectivity. By this I mean, what can one ulimately hope to learn, if it's already assumed a disturbance is due to the presences of spirits (however that's defined)? I've previously resided in New York for 2 years, Puerto Rico for 4 months, Connecticut at times, Rhode Island most of my life and currently. I'm a demonologist/field investigator with the RI based group N.E.A.R., demonologist with T.A.P.S. on the SciFi Channel series, 'Ghost Hunters,' Knight of the 'Order of Selohaar' and Director of the 'H. P. Lovecraft Commemorative Activities Committee.' My philosophy is "Carcosan," and it's mostly my own concept drawing from other, selective sources. It has few, but definite, absolutes. Have you been to the ongoing seies of events collectively known as WaterFire Providence? Next time you're there, seek out the Corvus Merulus, the "BirdMan;" you'll recognize him on sight!

My Interests

Anomalies research (includes ghost hunting, cryptozoology, repeatedly occuring unexplained phenomena in general), lecturing on paranormal investigation, speculative physics, String Theory, astronomy, German Medieval long sword combat, Edgar Allan Poe, H. P. Lovecraft, Salsa-mambo dancing, television and stage performing, some music in most catargories, poetry reading and writing, Janaki system of meditation, composing original balladry, attempting to detect peoples' motives through body language and vocal cues: I'm usually, not always, accurate!
