MEET OUR TEAM
Our team of investigators are every day people with our careers
all over the spectrum. Our diversity and dedication are the
keys to our current and future successes. Together, we
believe that, with an open mind, anything is possible and we hope to capture
evidence to help 'prove' or disprove what is
reported.

 My
fascination with the paranormal began when I was 8 years old,
with the neighborhood "haunted" house. Two childhood friends had
told me that they saw small footsteps in their living room that
simply stopped at their fireplace. While nothing ever came
of it, my interest was permanently piqued.
Years later, while serving in the
military, I experienced a spice rack spinning rapidly from
the kitchen with no explanation and a small metal bell would ring
untouched on a shelf in the living room.
My passion has since grown further,
where I have continued to conduct research and informal
investigations on my own. This led to me joining a local
paranormal group and brought me to where I am today.
I formed Paranormal Research
Organization Of Florida (P.R.O.O.F.), LLC where my passion
continues to grow and I look forward to working with a team that shares the
same desires and values 'proof' through science.

Paranormal phenomena have been a part of my life since I was
very young. My childhood home was converted from the historical
one-room schoolhouse for my small Upstate New York town, where
rumors circulated that the Head Master had hung himself in the
attic. My cousin used to tell me that he saw a figure of a man
standing at the foot of my bed watching me sleep. Although I
never witnessed that firsthand, I have had many other paranormal
and other unexplained incidences throughout my life. I
definitely have my share of stories to tell!
I have
always been fascinated by all of the “Mysteries of the Unknown”
including astral projection and energy healing works (such as
Reiki); to telepathy and other psychic experiences; including
dream interpretation and
déjà-vu
phenomena, as well. Although I have a very open mind to the
possibilities of what’s “beyond”, I am thrilled to be a part of
P.R.O.O.F. and to be supporting the investigators in their quest
to find truth through the Scientific Method. I love to expand
my mind and learn about everything I can, and I am always
seeking more information. Friends and colleagues have called me
a human search engine – and that’s one of the best compliments
I’ve ever received!
As
Case Manager, I’m looking forward to coordinating appointments
and managing client relations for P.R.O.O.F.

 I was 8 or 9 years old when my
interests began in the paranormal and the 'unknown'. Due
to the death of my grandfather, I was staying at my
grandmother's home, in New Jersey in an attic, that was converted
into a bedroom. At night, as I would lay down to sleep, I
would hear voices and a rocking chair would rock located near
the foot of the bed. When I would jump out of bed and run
to turn on the light, the voices would stop as well as the
chair. This occurred about four times, and I knew I wasn't
crazy.
I would end up sleeping downstairs with
my parents and since then, I had always wanted to know what it
was, how to communicate with it, why it chose me. Could I
help it in any way?
As I got older, I read books
about ghosts, astral projection, and spiritual healing,
and have always remained fascinated.
I've been
investigating the paranormal to try to find any answers to
questions about the unknown as to why these occurrences happen and what is on the other
side.

As a child, after
all of us were in bed, I would frequently hear people in
living room talking and laughing. It sounded as if my
parents were sitting in there with company and having a
good time. When I would get up and go into the hallway,
the noise would stop. I never thought it was unusual and
attributed it to ghosts. Unfortunately, my friends
thought it was very unusual and none of them would spend
the night with me. When I was about 21 I read a book
about Edgar Cayce that led to my reading several other
books about the paranormal. A few years later I took a
class at the YMCA on psychic phenomena and joined a
psychic group that the teacher had started. We were part
of the Spiritual Frontiers Fellowship, an organization
dedicated to psychic phenomena. We interacted with other
psychic groups, held conventions, hosted speakers, and
promoted the psychic field in the media.
Throughout my
life I have had several experiences with hauntings and
ghosts. I have lived in three houses that had paranormal
activity. My kids used to see ghosts in our house, and
my one son would chase the ghost, trying to catch him. I
am very curious as to what ghosts really are and I think
we will only know through scientific research. And I
believe groups such as P.R.O.O.F. can be very useful in
this research.

 From
the time I was little, I knew that there was more then the
eye could see. I would dream and see the next day play out,
and it would happen just the way I dreamt it.
Growing up I always wanted to
have a deeper knowledge of what happens when we die. I have
experienced many unexplainable phenomena through out my
life. From early on I learned that we fear what we don't
understand.
I believe that science has yet to
discover what happens after we pass, for this reason I study
paranormal phenomena.
Ed
Bagrowski
Tech Team Manager/ Investigator
I am a family man, musician, entrepreneur, and now
paranormal investigator. I have had an interest in
spirits and the paranormal for as far back as I can
remember. I think this was partially caused by the fact
that my house growing up was haunted. I had experienced
lights going on and off by themselves, banging in the
walls, doors opening and closing by themselves, and even
voices calling my name when I was alone in my bedroom.
To back up my claims, I have friends who also had
experienced this phenomenon in my home. Numerous
relatives passed away in this home and there was
definitely a negative energy felt there. I have also
been told multiple times that I am “in tune” when it
comes to sensitivity surrounding spirituality and the
paranormal.
Although I have not been a part of a lot of paranormal
groups in the past, I do bring forth knowledge,
technical and computer expertise, as well as I am a
research specialist. In my many years of study of the
paranormal, I was lucky enough to attend classes given
by Ed and Lorraine Warren, who are considered to be the
most well known paranormal investigators in the world.
Now I have finally decided to pursue this passion with
P.R.O.O.F., in hopes of someday finding definitive
evidence that there is life after we pass on.
