Dawn-Marie Torres 20 Questions
1. Where do you see ghost hunting and Paranormal groups, web sites or Ghost information, tours, Books Paranormal Radio and Television in 10 years?
To be honest, I would like to see things growing for the better…No more backstabbing…and no more bad talk…We should come together as a community and work together for the better good of this field.
2. What would you personally consider to be the definitive proof that ghosts are real?
Definitely I would have to say seeing them is the key for me. I can hear them on EVPs and stuff like that…But seeing them really seals the deal for me.
3. What is the most real evidence you personally have uncovered so far?
Well I would have to say the EVPs that I got from the first house I ever investigated. The spirit clear as day said the little girl’s name and then when I saw a pic of him that was even more proof that yes there was something there.
4. Are you skeptical of the claims other make of their findings?
No not really. But I would like to judge that information for myself. Because everyone has their own opinion of things it would only make sense that you would want to judge it for yourself.

I would say The Ladd School in Exeter,RI.

? Well my first real good paranormal experience was when I was about 27 yrs old.
