ONE OF THE THINGS THAT REALLY DREW ME TO THE PARANORMAL FIELD IS THE HISTORY THAT COMES WITH IT. I HAVE A BACHELORS IN HISTORY FROM THE UNIVERSITY OF NORTHERN IOWA, AND ONE OF MY FAVORITE THINGS TO DO IS RESEARCH THE LOCATIONS WE INVESTIGATE. I HAVE BEEN INVOLVED IN THE PARANORMAL FIELD SINCE FEBRUARY OF 2012. MY FIRST INVESTIGATION WAS AT THE RENSSELAER RUSSELL HOUSE MUSEUM IN WATERLOO, IOWA. IT WAS DEFINITELY AN EXPERIENCE I WILL NEVER FORGET. I HAVE APPEARED ON MY GHOST STORY FOR MY EXPERIENCES AT THE RUSSELL HOUSE, PARANORMAL ENCOUNTERS: A HAUNTING AT FARRAR, PARANORMAL ENCOUNTERS: EDINBURGH MANOR 4, S.T.U.R.S RADIO SHOW INTO THE UNKNOWN REALM WITH STEVE AND NAOMI, PROXIMITY PARANORMAL RADIO, BEYOND EXISTENCE AND TRAVEL CHANNEL'S GHOST ADVENTURES. I HAVE WITNESSED SOME CRAZY THINGS BEING IN THIS FIELD. SOME THAT STICK OUT IN MY MIND ARE A DOOR SLAMMING SHUT IN EDINBURGH MANOR AND SEEING A FULL SHADOW PERSON IN THE RUSSELL HOUSE. MY FAVORITE PLACE I HAVE INVESTIGATED IS BELVOIR WINERY.
IN FEBRUARY 2017 I PUBLISHED MY FIRST BOOK "SEEING" SPIRITS: OPENING THE EMPATHIC DOOR. MY SECOND BOOK VISIONS FROM THE AFTERLIFE WILL RELEASE IN LATE SUMMER 2019. JOSH AND I ARE CURRENTLY CO-AUTHORING A BOOK TITLED IOWA HAUNTED CORRIDOR. OUR HOPE IS TO HAVE IT RELEASED AROUND HALLOWEEN 2019. ALL OF MY BOOKS ARE PUBLISHED BY HAUNTED ROAD MEDIA, LLC.
MY FAVORITE THINGS TO DO ARE SPENDING TIME WITH MY HUSBAND JOSH, (YES JOSH HOPKINS), OUR SON, OUR DOG BOOMER, FAMILY & FRIENDS . WE LOVE WATCHING SCARY MOVIES, TRAVELING TO NEARBY HISTORICAL LOCATIONS AND TAKING TOURS, COOKING AND FINDING NEW LOCATIONS TO INVESTIGATE!
