READ BELOW FOR SOME MORE INFORMATION ON THIS STELLAR GHOUL! 💜✨
Jenn has been researching and investigating haunted locations professionally for over a decade and has been actively researching Cryptids since 2015.
She has had a love for the paranormal since a young age. At the age of four, she saw a strange looking creature looking at her through her mother’s bedroom window smiling; later in life, she discovered this was an Elemental watching her. She grew up in her grandparent’s haunted farmhouse and loved reading anything she could get her hands on relating to the paranormal and watching what she could on TV about it. She loved it so much that for one of her English finals in high school, she wrote a paper on Bigfoot.
As she grew older, she noticed that she had a “sixth sense” and realized that not only was it coming from her mother’s side, but her father’s side as well. She learned that her paternal grandmother not only saw spirits, but communicated with them as well, that her aunts and uncles have abilities, and one of her uncles was born with a vail. As for her mother’s side, her grandmother and mother denied its existence, but would say they saw something “strange” and her grandparents would tell her “you better get in the house or the boogers [or boogerman] will get you”—she thought they were talking about the Devil, but as she learned later in life, they were talking about Bigfoot. Both sides of her family lived in Appalachia, in Kentucky and West Virginia, and most of her family still resides there, but won’t discuss what they’ve seen. She often wonders if she comes from a line of “Granny Witches” because both grandma’s would make tinctures from nature that would heal.
In 2011, she started investigating professionally and in 2013, she decided to start her own team Eclipse Paranormal (formerly BSR Paranormal). Jenn, along with her team, host public investigations around the county and three large events during the year. In 2018, she founded the Women’s Para-Retreat Weekend and Conference, which features women from all fields of the paranormal, not just ghost hunting, as speakers, vendors, and Investigation Leads. In 2021, she founded the Men of the Paranormal Convention with same concept, but for men only. During October, they host multiple public investigations and annually during Halloween weekend, they host “A Haunted Halloween” investigation. Each event moves locations annually so as many people can attend as possible and in case those interested can’t attend one year, maybe it will be closer the next. Eclipse Paranormal also hosts other smaller events during the year as well in various locations along with participating in Global Ghost Hunt in May and Halloween weekend.
As Jenn said, she is interested in Cryptids as well, and in 2016, she became the Indiana Chapter Representative for the North American Dogman Project (NADP) and September of 2023, she became the Region 2 Director of the NADP. And before you ask, yes, she has had experiences with Cryptids, even during a ghost hunt at an old hospital in Ohio. She has seen and heard Dogmen, seen a Bigfoot, and even saw a UFO go overhead at a ghost hunt.
Jenn has multiple public investigations coming up starting on January 21st at Bobby Mackey’s Music World and multiple conferences that gives back to the communities they are hosted in. For more information, visit www.eclipseparanormal.com and http://eerie.events
