BIO: Founder and lead investigator for CAPS, host of two podcasts (Monsters on the Edge, and Whispers from the Dark) I have been interested in Paranormal and Cryptids my whole life, as far back as elementary school I remember doing a research paper on El Chupacabra, and this was at the height of the reports and sightings. Throughout grade school I was investigating cemeteries and other paranormal things. Later on, I opened Misery Haunted House in an actual haunted location and had a lot more paranormal experiences and really got interested in learning more. 2019 I met Craig Sulk (owner of the Hyden Adventure) and after talking with him about the Bigfoot activity on his property I created Cryptids, Anomalies, and the Paranormal Society. CAPS has been going ever since.

INTERESTING FACTS: Diploma in Cryptozoology. I have traveled from New York to California and been to a zoo in almost every state, former Professional Wrestler and owner of Misery Haunted House.

MOST MEMORABLE ENCOUNTER: One that sticks out the most a group of friends and I were hanging out at a friend's house which she claimed it to be haunted, obviously I didn't believe it just heard stories. As we were all hanging out in the living room, all of a sudden one of the vases flew off the fire place and no one bumped into it or touched it. All our jaws dropped because we were all in shock.

NAME: Ellie Weisensel

TITLE: Investigator
SPECIALTY: Psychic Medium

CONTACT ELLIE

BIO: Born in WI and have lived my entire life within 60 miles of birthplace. Even the
two years I worked on the Canadian Border in a little town called Pembina ND I
owned my house in WI and drove home every weekend. (yes it was a long drive
one way) After the two years in ND, I transferred to Minneapolis MN for 9
months, while still traveling home every weekend (and now some week days)
then transferred to Madison WI which allowed me to be home every night. I
never claimed residency in ND or MN.

INTERESTING FACTS: As long as I can remember, I have wanted to be a medium and converse with the
spirit world. I just never imagined it would involve the darker side and entity
releasements that have taken me on a path beyond my wildest dreams. I never
thought that my life would be busier in retirement than it was when I worked full
time.

MOST MEMORABLE ENCOUNTER:
One weekend I was babysitting my grand-girls at their house, they were ages 5
and 2. The 5 year old was showing mediumship abilities. We were in the living
room watching TV. The hallway light was left on. While watching TV, we all three
had fallen asleep (the TV did not have a timer on it). The girls fell asleep on one
couch and I feel asleep on the other couch. Around 2 am, my oldest grand-
daughter starting screaming, GAGA what is that, GAGA what is that? I woke up to
her screams. There was an apparition hanging in midair between the two
couches. Its back was to me and facing my grand-daughter. Looking at its back it
looked about 3 feet tall and dressed as a girl in a dress with a coat, and in black
boots. It slowly turned its face toward me to show me she was a little girl, till she
grinned that horrific scary grin. I stumbled in the dark searching for my phone as
it had turned off the hall light and the TV and it was pitch black in the house. I
couldn’t find my phone so I stood up and turned to find the living room light
switch to turn on the lights. As I stood up, it dissipated in thin air. I felt like I had
touched an electric fence. I picked up my granddaughter and proceeded to
conduct an entity releasement. The next day I asked her, what she saw and she
replied with a scary old man. At that moment I knew they could show themselves
as they want, however they want, to whom they want.

NAME: Stephanie Lynn

TITLE: Investigator
SPECIALTY: Spirit Sensitive

BIO:

I am a certified psychic medium. As a Spirit Sensitive individual my main goal is to bring understanding and communication from Spirit to others. I have completed a multitude of courses and certifications to ensure the legitimacy and validity of my abilities.
Outside of my servitude of Spirit I also work to grow and develop my own education and understanding of both paranormal and cryptid encounters. Even with my abilities I try to approach all investigations and occurrences with a skeptical but open mind that seeks all possibilities and attempts to support any evidence of an occurrence with documentable proof.
I am looking forward to continuing to learn from the amazing members of CAPS and finding new avenues to bring resources, understanding and help to others.

INTERESTING FACTS: Even though I have abilities and consider myself a Spirit Sensitive I have a very analytical mind and think of myself as a skeptic. I feel that having an analytical mind and operating from a point of skepticism allows me to approach situations and investigations from a very balanced perspective.

MOST MEMORABLE ENCOUNTER:

It is hard to pinpoint what my favorite paranormal experience is, I have had many throughout the course of my life. When I tried to answer the question about a paranormal experience I’ve had an experience that happened when testing some new equipment for paranormal investigations came to mind.

Myself and 2 of my colleagues were testing some new equipment, that included a spirit box at a local graveyard. I was asking if there was any Spirit’s in the graveyard who would like to talk to us. I thought I heard “Bob” through the Spirit box and promptly asked “did you say Bob”?
This time the voice I heard in the Spirit box clearly said “Bob”. I repeated the name.  It was at that time I noticed the face of one of the people I was with. Their jaw was dropped, and they were pointing behind me. I turned around and to my surprise the gravestone marker directly behind me belonged to a man named Robert. This isn’t the craziest of experiences but a very profound one for me!

NAME: Ruby

TITLE: Investigator/CAPS Academy
SPECIALTY: Photography

BIO: I've lived in Wisconsin my whole life without ever encountering paranormal until I started seeking it. I've always been skeptical, especially with no prior history of anything paranormal occuring. I joined CAPS so I could hopefully learn the difference between what could be real and what's easily mistaken, along with being able to have more encounters.

INTERESTING FACTS: I enjoy collecting bones and specimens, including past pets and random animals I find. My favorite as of now is my scorpion I kept as a pet, he's currently in a jar of formaldehyde in my dining room on display. He's placed right next to a haunted doll I have as well, along with a fox tail, mummified rat, cow jaw, and remains of a bearded dragon. Aside from the oddities, I like knitting and painting in my free time.

MOST MEMORABLE ENCOUNTER: I'm quite a skeptic, so I've never had a "bone-chilling" type of experience except for once. I had Barnaby do an investigation on my haunted doll while I was working and nearing the end I decided to go check on the gadgets and gizmos to see if anything was going on. I attempted to walk through the doorway but I felt like I got stopped in my tracks. I couldn't move, I was shaking, and I felt a wave of chills run through my whole body. I've never felt anything like it. I never made it back into the room alone that day.

MOST MEMORABLE ENCOUNTER: "My Father died of cancer when I was 17. We talked extensively about reaching out to let us (my mother and I) know he made it. He did, in fact he called and left a message. This was at the time of home caller ID. It said "Unknown caller" I went to check the machine it was staticy and sorta strange. My father had a very distinct voice and he said, "I'm good". After that for many years, I would get these weird texts with no number and a strange D with a line through it only as the sender, which was nowhere to be found on the keyboard, and nothing in the body of the text. Just that. I also got him on EVP a few times and a few years ago a ton of odd pictures were taken with my phone in my bedroom at night on his birthday. Not to mention he likes to knock in my kitchen. There is a long story to that though. Just know your loved ones are around guys."
