Paranormal takes a unique approach based on research and development.
We challenge current beliefs, set up experiments to test them, apply
critical thinking and review and then draw scientific conclusions from
the data collected. We keep open and objective minds throughout the
process. We work with other groups and individuals with a like minded
approach and seek expertise in varying disciplines to withdraw facts
from findings. We also believe in sharing our knowledge, experience and
results as a way to advance the community. Our belief: Be Critical. |

Mitch and his son Kevin founded Nyack Paranormal in
2008 after attending a public event in PA. Being very scientifically
minded in career and hobby, the two set out to learn for themselves
why so many people were easily successful in capturing "evidence of
ghosts." They thought that they could dig deeper into the ghost
hunting phenomenon by applying their analytical way of thinking and
their knowledge of science to find answers. Since then they have been
to many sites learning and experimenting. With degrees in Biology and
Psychology (with an emphasis in Experimental Psychology), Mitch has
been in the field of Biotechnology for over 30 years in both clinical
and research laboratories. He started out as lab supervisor in various
Human Genetics testing labs and ultimately held positions in Research
Laboratory Operations with firms whose goal is drug discovery. Kevin
began college as a Physics major in 2010 and will continue on to
pursue his Ph.D.
That same year Stephanie Bohn joined NPI and brought a wealth of
experience in private investigations and case management. Nyack
Paranormal maintains an open minded skeptical approach with
objectivity, critical thinking and respect for locations and others
beliefs. |

Stephanie has been interested in the idea of ghosts since she was a
young child reading ghost stories. The rise of popularity in the
“ghost hunting” TV shows introduced her to the notion of seeking them
out in order to increase experiences and prove their existence. Since
there was no way for her to know whether the shows were “real”, she
needed to find out for herself. She joined a local group as historical
researcher in 2008, conducting deed searches at local courthouses to
glean more information about properties before residential
investigations. She eventually became case manager and has much
experience interviewing and interacting with people who believed their
homes to be haunted. History is her first love however, and Stephanie
particularly enjoyed visiting historic sites. Stephanie met Mitch at
the Shanley Hotel, and was intrigued by the idea that his group was
more interested in the “whys” of ghostly interactions. Since Stephanie
had already had multiple experiences she was not able to explain and
also had a logical and analytical mind, she felt she would be able to
help Mitch in his pursuit of knowledge. She joined NPI in 2010 and her
experience with the first group, along with her prior hobbies of
writing, knowledge through research, and history/historic
preservation, has helped her in this endeavor. Stephanie’s initial
reasons for joining a group involved a strong desire to KNOW, and she
feels she is more likely to reach that goal with NPI. |
