Investigative Team

Michael Cline
Director

A native of California, Michael's interest in the study of survival of conscience after death and psychokinesis started in 2005.

She has a B.A. in Clinical Psychology from San Francisco State and a Ph.D. in Consciousness Studies from the California Institute of Integral Studies. In addition to writing nonfiction, she also writes fiction.

Dee Disparti
Psychic

Her love of photography, combined with her ability to communicate with those on the other side, has enabled Dee to take outstanding paranormal pictures. Her gifts are now being utilized to help resolve experiences some people find so hard to explain. This often includes teaching some to help themselves and their loved ones who have passed on to have a successful transition to the afterlife.

Russ Disparti
Field Investigator

Mr. Disparti has been living with the paranormal for over thirty years, causing him to have an interest in capturing paranormal activity on film and in audio recordings. As a result of this interest, Russ has found himself involved as a consultant in determining the validity of paranormal evidence. Russ has also taught "Paranormal Photography" and enjoys bringing new people into the investigative side of this fascinating subject, as well as exploring new and interesting locations.

oIn addition to the people listed here we also have access to a wide range of consultants who we bring on on a case-by-case basis.
