Russ Noratel
Russ first took an interest in the paranormal field because of some experiences that he had at an early age and as a teen. Russ became increasingly interested in the paranormal in his mid 20’s, when he realized that others were conducting scientific research in the field. Since getting into the field, he has been on dozens of investigations and worked numerous cases. It was in early 2008 when Russ found his way to one of Vince Wilson’s workshops. After the workshop, Russ was invited to join The Baltimore Society for Paranormal Research (BSPR). In July 2008, he was offered and accepted the position of Senior Investigator with BSPR and took over leadership of the organization in September 2009. Russ educates those who wish to learn about paranormal investigating by lecturing at workshops and conferences across the country. He appeared in a paranormal investigating training video for MonkeySee.com in 2008. Russ has written articles for several publications online and in print. In December 2008, his first book, Ellicott City’s Guide to Haunted Places, hit store shelves to rave reviews. Website: www.bsprnet.com
Ron Peacock
Ron’s interest in the paranormal started at a young age, always fascinated by mythology, folklore and the unexplained. What started as a curious interest became more five years ago when a personal experience in his new home sent him looking for answers.Using his work experience in various stages of residential and commercial mechanical engineering ( including electrical, plumbing and Hvac ) he set out to find the true causes to not only his own experiences, but also the many unknowns that had fascinated humanity throughout the ages. After joining one paranormal investigation group and forming another, in 2008 he found a home in BSPR. There he discovered like minded individuals who”s quest for the truth matched his own. While a strong believer that anything is possible, he strives to find all explainable sources first before focusing on the unexplainable. Living by the motto, “Always question everything, what’s left might hold the answers we all are searching for” Although he has yet to find the answers to his questions, along with his colleagues and friends in BSPR, he continues searching for himself and helping others along the way.
