Gerard J. Medvec
Investigator, Consultant, Author
Ghosts have been
“regulars” in his life for over forty-years. He participated in the
“Gateway Voyager” program, an experiential study in altered-states, at
the Monroe Institute in Faber, VA. His first out-of-body event happened
at ten years-old, quite by accident. Since then his studies of OBEs have
allowed him to “leave his body” on several occasions at will. His
practices in meditation and altered-states have led to his development
of the “Breath of Life” program, a life-changing exercise that keeps
unwanted spiritual and physical energy out of one’s “realm of
influence.” He studied communications at Delaware County Community
College in PA, and with the Newspaper Institute of American in NY. He
has published over sixty non-fiction articles and four short-stories.
Currently, he is co-author with Mark Sarro on two upcoming books:
Ghosts of Delaware and UFOs over Pennsylvania, both for
Schiffer Publishing. He resides with his wife Joyce in Delaware City,
DE.

Kyle Heller
Investigator/Consultant/Author
Like most people in this field, I have had an
interest in things that are not of the “normal” perception. Things that
someone might say “it must be my imagination”, but is it?
I too have had experiences since a young age.
However, I did not know that they were out of the ordinary at the time.
As I grew older, I did realize that others were not as perceptive and it
was not in fact, something that was noticed or felt by everyone.
Needless to say, it was not discussed openly out of risk of ridicule. I
am so happy that society has finally opened it’s eyes enough to see just
a glimpse of what we have known for years…Welcome!!
I do know this… Everyone
in our society of friends and colleagues in this field know what they
have experienced is real. Once you know this, you stop worrying
what people think, you know what you have experienced for years was not
your imagination, you know you’re not crazy, and you will never be able
to stop your search for the answers.

Carol Starr
Lead Investigator/Author
I have had a lifelong interest in the paranormal. My first encounter was seeing a full body apparition in my aunt’s farmhouse at age 7. From that point on, I have had a curiosity in what happens after death. When I was 14, my father passed away and both of my sisters reported seeing and or sensing him at different times. I lived in a haunted house with my mother and sisters when I was a teenager. At that time I sought out information on how to communicate with my unseen roommates. My school project even reflected my interest. I befriended a local funeral director and learned everything about what he did and then obtained a shipping coffin from him and stored it in my basement to work on for a school project.
As I got older, my interest took a back seat to my career until I met with Mark Sarro and the Chester County Paranormal Research Society (CCPRS). Now I have been living my dream, going to historic places, investigating the paranormal, and using all the latest and greatest ghost research techniques and equipment. I am also the author of “Haunted Gettysburg”, which came out last summer and includes many of my personal experiences from Gettysburg along with history and real investigations our paranormal group had there.

Bob Meyers
ITC Researcher/E.V.P. Specialist

My name is Bobby Meyers and I have been
interested in the paranormal after having a few strange experiences
myself. Talk radio has always been a passion for me and I’m excited
for the opportunity that the Uber Radio Network presents.
In the past few months Carol and I have talked about the need to
discuss what we feel is the best evidence of the paranormal…. ITC
(Instrumental Trans Communication). I have always been fascinated with
EVP’s and the sound bytes that our group (CCPRS) has captured during
investigations. This fascination developed into a passion recently for
us as researchers in that we set out to find better ways or
alternative means of communicating with the other side. Initially, my
research started with EVP work and interest in the AAEVP (American
Association Electronic Voice Phenomena). Individuals like the late
Sarah Estep, inspired me to dig deeper and work harder into
discovering real two way communication devices with the ethereal
realm. In the last year my research has lead me to ITC work and the
Frank’s Box. I have read and participated in numerous ITC internet
forums in the past year. My discovery has encouraged me to build my
own ITC DEVICE. The devices that our group has built, which are shown
on our site (www.chestercountyprs.com) are modified ghost box devices
that others ITC researchers have developed. We went ahead and tweaked
those schematics to what we feel are true two way communication
devices. Though these devices are controversial in nature, our
findings and results show real promise. Cynics and Skeptics are quick
to discredit the device (as I was after the first hearing the device
first time myself), however the communication messages we are
receiving are nothing short of amazing. Those of you who have ever did
EVP work know in your heart and you can discern pretty much what is a
real capture and what is not. It kind of works the same with the ITC
DEVICE !!!
