Renee'
Hamer-Colianni
Founder
Age: 31
Living in Essex, MD, Renée (pictured
left to the left of investigator Veronica) has had an interest in
the paranormal as far back as she can remember. Now married and a
mother of two her interest sparked into a fiery passion when she saw
a ghost for the 1st time in 1994.
Having a bad feeling that something
was wrong, Vince, her best friend from high school, called her and
asked if she was OK. Shortly there after the family dog Mylo kept
looking at something up the stairs. She was getting nervous when a
man walked down the stairs. As Renee ran out the door the figure
watched from the porch and then... Disappeared.
Vince
Wilson, Junior
Co-founder and creator
Age: 29
Living now in Highlandtown in East
Baltimore, Vince has always been interested in things of the occult
and supernatural. His interest and experience in computers and the
internet helped create this site.
Lingering around in the back of his
mind for over a year he was inspired to finally create the site. The
inspiration came from his long time friend from high school, Renee
Hamer. He now maintains this site and its archives and accompanies
Renee on field assignments.
Vince found that there were so many
organizations in Maryland that were not exactly 'professional' that it was hard
to gain ground in the field. When colleagues from other states heard he was from
Maryland, they generally rolled their eyes sarcastically. Maryland, one of the
most haunted areas around, had a bad rep for paranormal research! That is when
he founded the Maryland Paranormal Investigators Coalition. A group of groups
dedicated to serious paranormal research and scientific observation.
Their mission statement:
-
To provide leadership in Maryland through
the application of scientific research of the paranormal.
-
To provide education, assistance and
resources to new and existing paranormal organizations, the public and the
media.
-
To foster and create new paranormal
organizations throughout Maryland.
With the help of what he considers "the
best bunch of paranormal researchers around" he has gotten some headway in
the difficult task of turning around Maryland's reputation.
Vince has lectured on ghost hunting technology
and is listed as an adviser in the latest edition of Troy
Taylor's Ghost Hunters Guidebook and Ed Okonowicz's Baltimore
Ghosts. He also has written for Ghost
Magazine. He also the author of Ghost
Tech a new guide to the technology of ghost hunters and paranormal
investigating!
WHAT IS BSPR ALPHA TEAM?
Vince and Renée now head BSPR
Alpha Team. Due to the overwhelming increase in investigations
and busy schedules a second team needed to be founded to take up
some of the slack.
