I started in the paranormal field early in life. Had experiences as a child, and could never give an explaination on what I experienced. By 1977, me and a couple of other frinds of mine visited cemeteries at night. At the time, they knew I was afraid of the dark, and by taking me out there, this was a cheap adrenaline rush.
Later, we heard of what was later called EVP's and of spirit photography in books at the library. Being a bunch of history geeks, we tried a few with old reel to reel taperecorders, 110 cameras, and plenty of coffee.
But by 2004, when I came back into the "field" of the paranormal, either the guys I grew up with who once shared the interest either never picked it back up, moved on, or died. So by mid 2004, I originally formed a group called the Catonsville Society for Paranormal Research or CSPR (Casper). But with many of the members who were origianally there decided to do their own thing. After finding people in other parts of the Baltimore region, and friends who finally admitted their own experiences and interests, the group was renamed PRISMd. to better serve the region.
PRISMd. is currently looking for members, and the qualifications are on our site. Please feel free to visit our website:

Sorry I haven't been making my usual rounds. Summer time is my favorite time and always lots going on outside. I got Sammy in my lap as I write this and he's squirming around, so typing one handed...LOL!!
Looks like the days are getting brighter here...yippee! Hope all is well with you. I am beginning to work on my research again, and that keeps me occupied. Love the time it consumes...like to stay busy. Karla
Hi. Sorry to say, I missed the Shanley, due to a death in the family. Things are settling down here...stress is going away, so I hope to plan that trip again. Have a great weekend. Karla
He who fights with monsters might take care lest he thereby become a monster. And if you gaze for long into an abyss, the abyss gazes also into you.
When we are afraid we ought not to occupy ourselves with endeavoring to prove that there is no danger, but in strengthening ourselves to go on in spite of the danger. ~Mark Rutherford

I just saw your note in the box! It sounds like you and PP found some uncharted territory, huh? WOW! How kewl is that??? I love it when that happens! I found a place like that here in town; it's very active, and hardly anyone knows about it. You can guess where I hang out most of the time! HAHA!
Hey, you should probably write a guidebook for the scenic areas of Colorado. I've lived here most of my life since I was 9 years old, but YOU seem to know more about the little out-of-the-way areas than I DO!!! Tell ya what... when I take off for the hills, I'll consult with YOU FIRST! LOL
