Bobby - Director of Video Production/Investigator
Bobby’s
first paranormal investigation took place in 2012, but his deep-seeded
interest in the strange and supernatural goes back to his childhood,
growing up in rural Northeastern Ohio. With a constant
rotation
of The X-Files, Sightings, The Twilight Zone, Dark Shadows and Disney’s
So Weird on the television, it’s as if Bobby was bred for this field.
Bobby’s
belief in the paranormal was cemented when at the age of 10 years old,
he was awoken one night to see a shadowy figure in a fedora standing by
his closet. “I still can see it in my mind so clearly, as if
it
had happened yesterday,” he adds.
When asked about his most
memorable investigations and locations, Bobby’s list included Rolling
Hills Asylum, St. Alban’s Sanatorium, and the Iron Island
Museum.
Armed with his Canon XA-20 Camcorder, Bobby seeks evidence that he can
show to even the staunchest of synics with confidence that it cannot be
explained. “Light anomalies, blinking flashlights, and stick
figures are super cool and can help affirm our personal experiences,
but when it comes to furthering the field and showing the outside world
what’s going on, we just need more than that,” he says. “I
think
EVP is one of the most fascinating types of evidence, but having that
recorder on camera further validates that no one was whispering or
contaminating the recording,” he adds.
If Bobby looks
familiar, you may have seen him on a 2019 episode of Portals to Hell on
the Travel Channel. Jack Osborne and Katrina Weidman came to
McConnelsville, Ohio to investigate the super-active Twin City Opera
House, a location the Bobby frequently investigates.
When he isn’t investigating the
paranormal, you can probably find Bobby watching pro wrestling,
crushing the competition on Xbox Live, or taking trips to what he truly
believes to be the “Happiest Place on Earth,” Walt Disney
World!
Bobby is also an event videographer and an Assistant Team Leader at a
nationwide grocery chain. Bobby, Brandy, Kayla,
Sam and Ted are
also part of a documentary filmmaking crew investigating other areas of
the paranormal.
