Position:
Director / Founder / Webmaster/ Paranormal Author /
Administrative Assistant / Public Speaking
Profile:
I first became interested
in ghosts as a young boy when my dad would tell me stories
about his experiences in the old Plumer Mansion
where he worked. I have been studying and investigating the paranormal for 22 years and have had several personal encounters with the "unknown."
I am co-author of our newest book, Haunted Wausau "The Ghostly History Of Big Bull Falls". I also have articles in several other books, some of
which are - Encyclopedia of Haunted Places - by Jeff Belanger, Famous Wisconsin Ghosts and Ghost Hunters - by Hannah Heidi Levy & Brian Borton,
21st Century Ghosts - by Jason Karl, Real Ghosts, Restless Spirits, and Haunted Places - by Brad Steiger and Weird Wisconsin - by Linda S. Godfrey &
Richard D.
Hendricks. I have also appeared on an episode of Travel
Channel's "Dead Files" season #8, episode #5 "The
Darkening".
I'm a member of the Marathon County Historical Society
and the WPRS
is listed as a
T.A.P.S. family member and representative for
The State Of
Wisconsin.
I have
a degree in Criminal Science from Northcentral
Technical College and hold a certification in Corrections,
Fire Science and Scuba Diving.
I am available to speak to any community
groups upon request on ghost investigations and/or
local area hauntings. I'm also available to provide private
ghost tours for small or large groups for a small fee.

Betsy has been interested in the paranormal
for a long time, having grown up in a house with residual
ghosts (one human, one feline).
Betsy has also seen a UFO and has had an out-of-body experience. Her interest in the paranormal led her to take a Downtown Wausau Ghost Tour
on Halloween, and one year later she became a member of the Wausau Paranormal Research Society, helping lead the tours. Betsy approaches
ghost hunting with a very scientific viewpoint and holds a Bachelor’s degree in forestry and soil science.

My interest
in the paranormal began a few years back when I spoke with a
few members of WPRS. What really intrigued me about the
group
is their professionalism and knowledge about paranormal phenomena. I have an Associate Degree in Police Science. The greatest enjoyment I
receive from being a member of the WPRS is being able to help families or individuals with their problems or concerns they may be experiencing
with the paranormal.

I have been interested in the paranormal
since childhood. I'm interested in Ghosts, Cryptids, Shadow
People, UFOs, and unexplainable

and served as a Security Specialist while stationed in the United Kingdom and United States. I have an Associate Degree in Police Science and
am a certified Corrections Officer in WI. I would like to say it's a pleasure for me to be able to rejoin the WPRS as an investigator.

I have had a strong desire to investigate the paranormal for

I have been interested in the Paranormal and unexplained
most of my life and have had many personal experiences. I am
excited to be a part of this team and hope to be able to help people who are experiencing paranormal issues.
PATRICK BRAZIER
Position:
Investigator
Profile:
Sedona, Arizona was the catalyst for my
exploration into the spiritual world. After winning a trip
there a few years ago, multiple
spiritual incidents have occurred since. Unknown to me at the time, Sedona has a rich history in triggering mystical experiences and
spiritual awakenings. Growing up in Wales near a haunted castle and staying in one of the UK's most haunted places also peaked my interest
in the paranormal. It's an exciting opportunity to be part of the WPRS and I'm hoping my degree in media technology, broadcast background
in video editing, graphic design, and animation will be a useful addition to the team.
ANDREW SCHEIBE

Profile:
I have been interested in the paranormal
since I was a teenager. After having several of my own
experiences I wanted to know more
about how or why they happened. I'm here to expand my knowledge and help others to understand what is out there.
