"A house is a place of shelter, it's body we put on over our bodies.
As our bodies grow old, so do our houses.
As our bodies may sicken, so do our houses sicken.
And what of madness?
If mad people live within, doesn't this madness creep into the rooms and walls and corridors?
The very boards?
Don't we sometimes sense that madness reaching out to us?
Isn't that a large part of what we mean, when we say a place is unquiet, festered up with spirits?
We say "haunted," but we mean the house has gone insane."Steven is a Haunted Survivor, Author, Speaker, Talk Show Radio Host, and Executive Producer.Steven founded Missouri Paranormal Research and co-founded the Paranormal Task Force after living through an extreme haunting himself along with his family and friends. Steven developed the idea of The Humanistic Approach to investigation in order to help others.In July of 2007, Steven left MPR and PTF to pursue
independent endeavors, but is still very proud of both organizations today.Steven's focus is on extreme, private hauntings. These
investigations are typically dangerous and intense in nature with either an individual or a family endangered by a demon. He has successfully investigated and concluded many such cases because of his personal background in extreme hauntings, the network of investigators he has developed over the years and upon whom he relies for back up and/or advice, and his compassion for people.He is frequently called upon to speak about various investigations he was involved in, and he has also been a featured guest on several radio stations across the US, the UK, Canada, and parts of South Africa. Steven is not a stranger to television interviews either and has had many interviews with him published in newspapers and magazines across the US. In October of 2006, "Fear House" premiered as the first show of the third season of the Discovery
Channels, "A Haunting." This show featured Steven and the story of the Union Haunting. In addition, he has been interviewed and filmed for inclusion in two paranormal documentaries.

By all common standards he lived a perfectly normal life until he and his three children moved into an extremely haunted and dangerous house. This haunting is factual and has been well documented. Because this terrifying experience involved his own children, one way to get him quickly involved in an investigation is to tell him that there is a child involved. Based on his own life experiences, Steven doesn’t have to search for proof of the paranormal. He’s met it face-to-face.Steven is honored and proud to announce that he was recently added to "The League Of Paranormal Gentlemen."Steven is very happy to announce that he is now a proud member of Denice Jones, L.I.F.E.

investigative team that would eventually become known
as Missouri Paranormal Research. The teams first goal
in development was to serve those in paranormal need.
After living through an extreme haunting, Steven found
that there was a need for a serious client based group in
his part of the country.On January 2, 2005, Missouri Paranormal Research was
officially named and born. The groups goals and focus
was based upon a concept written by Steven called,
"The Humanistic Approach." This concept is still
adhered to today and many other groups around the
country have adopted its philosophies.In June of 2007, Steven unveiled his newest concept of
the group with the announcement of The Paranormal
Task Force. It became obvious to Steven that there
needed to be separate divisions of the group to handle
different type projects, issues, and cases. The
Paranormal Task Force is an umbrella that covers
everything from a research division, client based help,
and various other needed departments.In July of 2007, Steven left The Paranormal Task Force
after many days of soul searching. It became clear to
him that he needed to rethink his ideas on how he
wanted to serve the community. He decided that he
wanted to be able to help more groups develop sound
concepts and to lend his services with extreme
hauntings to anyone or any group that needed him.Looking back, Steven led MPR and PTF to become one of
the most highly respected teams working within the
paranormal today. Steven understands the steps, the
work, and the dedication involved in making that type of
success a reality for a team. Steven is one of the most
highly respected people in the paranormal today and
continues to bring quality and innovation to the field not
only for one team, but the entire community as a whole.Steven still today works very close with The Paranormal
Task Force. He is proud of the accomplishments he was
a major part of while the Administrator of the team and
the accomplishments that are yet to come for them as
well.Steven now turns his focus to help develop other great
teams, as well as, to continue to teach the new ghost
hunter through numerous ongoing ghost hunter
workshops that he will continue to give throughout the
Midwest with his partner in the workshops Greg Myers,
the new Administrator of The Paranormal Task Force.If you are in need of help with the development of your
team or group please contact Steven and he will be glad

many upcoming Ghost Hunter Workshops please contact
