PORTFOLIOS
HOST - Dani Park
S.P.O.O.KS Investigations - TEAM KANSAS
Nathan Park - Founder, Historian, Lead Investigator
When I was younger I had an interesting experience with the paranormal that opened my eyes to a world that exists inside our own that I never previously known existed. I'm the history nerd on the team. I'm a registered member of MUFON (Mutual UFO Network), 4th degree blackbelt with the World Taekwondo Federation and an Ordained Minister. I am never afraid to go into the most undesirable places in the location that we investigate to gather evidence. The study of paranormal phenomenon, be it hauntings, cryptozoology, urology, and even conspiracy theories are my passion and I will never give up in my quest for the truth.
Dani Park - Investigator, Hostess of TGS -True Ghost Stories
I've always been drawn to anything scary and getting to experience cool and freaky things is rewarding. I have an associate's degree in general science and I am a pharmacy technician. I am married to Nathan and Rick is my father in law and Jordan is my brother in law. We are one big happy paranormal family.
Jordan Park - Investigator
I've been interested in and been around the paranormal for as long as I can remember. I've had many experiences before and after joining the team. I'm a 3rd degree blackbelt with the World Taekwondo Federation and a huge pet lover. Like my father and my older brother, this is who we are and what we do.
Larry Buchanan - Co-Founder, Video Editor, Lead Investigator
I've been interested in the paranormal for as long as I can remember. I am a published author and an avid photographer. I have a degree from Kansas State University in the field of Biology and I work in the field of immunology. I love being a scientist and coming up with tests and procedures to advance our knowledge. I have encountered things that ordinary people hardly ever get a chance to experience. Some of these experiences have answered major questions that I have had about the paranormal, but many have opened more doors to questions that I have never thought about.
Rick Park - Co-Founder, Tech Manager, Lead Investigator, Director for TGS - True Ghost Stories
I am a U.S. Marine Veteran and father of 2 amazing sons along with my wonderful supportive wife. I was introduced to the paranormal at the age of 10 and ever since then I have always been interested in finding more answers. I lived in a house for 12 years that was occupied by an old woman in a blue dress. I saw her every day, but I didn't interact with her. I'm the "senior" investigator of the team. I'm more of a father figure and a voice of reason to the rest of the team. I am a licensed electrician, a certified electrical apprenticeship instructor in the State of Kansas, 3rd degree blackbelt with the World Taekwondo Federation, certified NAUI scuba diver, and a public speaker. I enjoy getting to go places the "general public" doesn't get to go. I had an ambition to be a police officer when I was younger so I guess this is my way of investigating the crime scene and helping others.

SPIRIT REALM INVESTIGATIVE PROJECT - TEAM COLORADO
Lolli Hughes
LeeAnna Jonas
LeeAnna Jonas - Founder/Team Lead
With a passion for the unknown, it has driven me for years since my first sighting of an apparition at age 10. Seeking the truth using my years of knowledge, being a sensitive, and using scientific equipment to try and explain and prove we are not alone. In every aspect of the paranormal, using an open mind, but also a skeptic. I am driven as a type A personality, well organized and professional. Fun and crazy at times, but always putting the team first. Using metaphysical believes and practices, non provoking and respect for the spirits. Lets face it they were all people just like us!
Lolli Hughes - Team Historian/Investigator Sensitive
As far as my background goes, I have a Bachelor’s of Arts degree in History from the University of Notre Dame and a Master’s of Science degree in Education from Texas Wesleyan University. In addition, I have been a teacher for twenty years and have taught pre-school autistic children all the way up to university undergraduates. I am certain these things will help me as SRIP’s team historian! Most importantly, I count my blessings every day that I have a daughter and a son who never cease to make me proud.
I’ve believed in the spirit realm since I was very young. Tragically, I lost my mother when I was just 18 and then had my first truly paranormal experience with her spirit the next year. In all honesty, I was very frightened and it took a long time before I felt comfortable with the event. After a bit of time had passed, I began to have more ethereal experiences and found the peace and courage I needed to handle them. Now, I embrace every opportunity to make contact with our non-corporeal friends, relatives, and even strangers! I feel lucky and honored to be a part of Spirit Realm Investigative Project, and I look forward to a long and productive partnership with these incredibly talented women. I’m so excited to share these adventures with them!

My family with whom I shared the residence , would try to ignore the encounters, but for me, they would never go away. I then began to see visions of people and events. Some of these people were familiar to myself, while others were not. Some of these events that would occur in these visions, were traumatic. For instance, I would perceive an individual getting struck by a car and the location it occurred.My visions would prevent these events from happening, once I located the individual and told them about my vision. Some were skeptical and did not follow my instructions of avoiding danger. Others, that believed, were saved from despair, suffering, anguish and even death.

Simon Burke
Ever since I was young, I knew there was something different about me. Being in a silent room, but could still hear people talking. But, always being interested in the paranormal, be it ghost stories, or movies like Ghostbusters. It was only later on in life when I lived in my grandmother's house I realized that I could hear people who had passed on. I didn't know what I could do with this, but when I met Síomhaith that we formed a group and decided to do good.
Jackie Nimmock
Jaxc, teams First aider and Empath in training.
I am Spiritual, from a Christian background. I have always been open minded believed in my guardian angel. All the Angel's and the saints and a higher power, that have guided me to where I am today. I believe in life after death, that lost souls wander the earth. Trapped by things that they have yet to complete or held here by unknown entities, fears or beliefs. I hope to assist in freeing as many of these trapped souls as I can.
I have always had a close connection to animals and nature, practice healing with Angel's, I have always felt energies around me, and the more I get out with my paranormal family the stronger I feel I am becoming, and the more I believe and trust what I am feeling. It is a great feeling to go in blind (not knowing anything about the area) to a new site and feel/tell a story - get a name that is then verified by out team researcher. Or historical documentation that is available from someone on site. Looking forward to many more investigations with the team. We have shared some wonderful personal experiences together and toughed it out through some not so nice situations together. It is nice to be in a team that we all trust each other like family and have each others backs.
Mark Diver
I have always been fascinated by the paranormal for as long as I can remember, loved X-Files and any show that dealt with paranormal I"m a true believer that their is another side to this world when we die it's not the end, its just the beginning. My first real experience with paranormal was in 2005 boxing day night to be exact, I was at a local bar watching football and as I was leaving I asked for 2 bottles of beer to take out I got into a taxi and went to local grave yard to visit a friend of mine who just passed in March that year, it was a very cold and wet night. I remember opening the bottles and turning one upside down in my friends grave and took out my tobacco box and made 2 rollies I don't know what happened after that but I woke up about 30 mins later and I was about 100 yards from my friends grave I heard voices a woman's voice and a man's, they asked me was I ok and they told me they would walk me to end of the road. I was not afraid as they were kind to me and as we walked down the road to end of the graveyard they said "you'll be ok now just go home", it took me about 5 mins to walk home as I lived close to graveyard, as I got in, my wife asked were I was I told her and she didn't believe me as my clothes were dry and it was bucketing down outside, I told her I was telling the truth. I then put my hand in my pocket to roll a cig and realized I'd left my tin at the graveyard. Next morning the wife and I went to the grave yard and there it was still sitting beside the grave and as it was open all night the contents were still dry. On further thought thinking who the people could have been I remembered the girl had a red coat on and I realized that this was my late sister and have always wondered could the male have been my younger brother all grown up now? I"m 49 yrs old, married with 2 beautiful children aged 16 and 12. I was involved in search and rescue for 2 yrs and really enjoyed when we found mispers alive the sense of relief you get and the joy for the family but not so nice when you get a bad result.
