Researcher/Investigator, Archivist, RI - A retired teacher as of June 2008, Andy brings flexibility with his curiosity; he will be able to set out on any investigation at any time. Andy's quest for knowledge in the area of the paranormal grows out of an intellectual wish to learn more about the world we cannot see. He is eager to document any phenomenon and look for what we do not see, and what can or cannot be explained.

Researcher/Investigator, RI - Says Jenn... "My interest in researching the paranormal stems from experiences I had growing up, as well as personal experiences I had when I was a tour guide for several years at the Lizzie Borden B&B in Fall River, MA. I love traveling, reading (especially Steven King) and am hoping to teach myself to play bass guitar."

Researcher/Investigator - Nancy is a thorough and relentless researcher who puts her years experience as a private investigator to good use tracking down the facts in cases. We are lucky Nancy came to us and since her joining us has become a premier EVP collector!

Researcher/Investigator/Tech Supervisor - "I am the Director of a Respiratory Therapy and Neurodiagnostic Department for a hospital in Massachusetts. I am also an EMT-Cardiac and volunteer for a 911 ambulance service in Rhode Island. My wife Tammy and I have been investigating the paranormal independently since 2003. We have investigated haunted Inn's all over New England. I am excited to be part of T.R.I.P.R.G. family and look forward to expanding my knowledge in the paranormal field."

Researcher/Investigator/Social Secretary - "My interest in the paranormal and questions of life after death started at a young age. Throughout my life I have had many personal experiences that left me with more questions than answers. I may never "figure it out" but my husband Bill and I have had a lot of fun trying. I consider myself to be extremely spiritual and I have a strong faith. I am proud to be a part of T.R.I.P.R.G. and I look forward to working with and learning from them."

Researcher/Investigator - In Sam's words, "When I was young I always used to be afraid to be alone, I was told stories about ghosts which would scare me. Now I want to know what happens after life. I got involved with the group during senior year of High School, I did a project on "Paranormal Research." I went on investigations and learned more about the paranormal. TRIPRG is a lot of fun. I'm still not sure whether or not I believe in ghosts, but I hope to find out soon."

Researcher - Emily has spent the majority of her life reading, studying and examining anything paranormal. She enjoys the challenge of researching fact, clear and concise gathering of information and evidence, and the thorough projection of reviewing that evidence to explain what is so often unexplainable...even if the explanation is considered to be out of the ordinary... "It's the challenge of debunking or proving the many theories that run through my mind after being introduced to a project that makes paranormal research so captivating and rewarding for me....I like to leave no stone unturned"...

Researcher/Investigator-In-Training - Cathy puts it best, "How boring life would be if we had all the answers to everything! There are lots of things in this world that are beyond our every day understanding and I want to explore them with a skeptical and objective eye. TRIPRG gives me a way to do just that with people who feel the same way."

“We all muddle through life making the best choices we can based on incomplete information, therefore the popular concept of the so-called expert is a complete myth. The word expert implies that an individual knows all there is to know about a particular subject or field of study. Knowledge has no horizon; we achieve great heights only to arrive at the summit and gaze out at the even higher peaks awaiting us.”
