Nate Larson - (Conjecture, Curiosities and Wonder)

I live, make art, sit in traffic, and sleep occasionally in Chicago, Illinois.

My photographic work uses visual and textual narrative to explore the way that we construct meaning in contemporary culture through the lenses of religion, consumer behavior, and secular mythologies. My stories weave tales of ordinary days gone peculiar, obsessive methods of analysis and insignificant objects that suddenly take on extraordinary significance. Miraculous pennies arrive in the mail, healing spells transfer through television programming and fortune cookie numbers win the lotto. Through this darkly humorous storytelling I dissect the line between belief and skepticism, while examining ideas of personal truth and common misperceptions surrounding photographic documents.

My artwork has been widely exhibited across the US and internationally in Canada, Belgium, Greece, Spain and the UK. My work has been written about in numerous publications, including notably the New York Times. My photoworks are included in the MPP Collection of the Museum of Contemporary Photography, the artist book collection of the Banff Centre, McHenry County College, and the Center for Photography at Woodstock, among others. My artwork has received grant support from the Ultimate Eye Foundation, Visual Studies Workshop, the Banff Centre, the City of Chicago Department of Cultural Affairs and the Illinois Arts Council.

I earned an MFA degree from the Ohio State University in 2002 and a BA with Distinction from Purdue University in 2000. I hold a tenured teaching appointment at Elgin Community College, where I coordinate the Photography program in the Department of Art.

Greg Myers (PTF) -(Para-Dangers Risk of Investigating the Paranormal)

Greg has had personal paranormal encounters since being a teen and has years of paranormal
investigative experience. He is well versed with haunting classifications, paranormal investigative
techniques and leadership through example. Greg has served as a technician and supervisor while
serving in the military and has further enhanced his education and abilities with legal issues while
serving over ten years in the legal field. With his background of legal issues, lobbying experience and
issue advocation, he hopes to apply these skills to the enactment and strengthening of "haunted
house" and "psychological impact" disclosure laws for prospective property owners, tenets and
lessees. Greg also has an extensive background in genealogical research and familiarization with
record research vital to the research of potential haunted properties.

Greg is one that shares the philosophy that paranormal investigations can come with many unknown
dangers which are not properly addressed by most of the paranormal research field. This and other
important issues are overlooked and need further advocation to current and future researchers and
investigators within this field. Greg adheres to a Humanistic Approach to investigations developed by
Missouri Paranormal Research Founder Steven LaChance which always places the client first above
everything else.

Greg Myers of PTF at Resurrection Cemetery

Greg became part of MISSOURI PARANORMAL RESEARCH™ in August of 2005 serving as a co-
administrator, lead investigator and EVP specialist. While serving with MPR, Greg became an
instrumental element in the collection and analysis of evidence in a case involving an extreme
"inhuman" haunting and possession. This Haunting was featured on the Discovery Channel's "A
Haunting" series as the Season 3 opener in October 2006. Greg then co-founded PARANORMAL TASK
FORCE, Inc. in October 2006. PARANORMAL TASK FORCE™, Inc. is a not for profit incorporation which
educates and promotes the awareness of paranormal research as well as other historical and
paranormal related issues along with providing assistance to the public and other organizations.
MISSOURI PARANORMAL RESEARCH™ now serves as its non-extreme investigative and research
division while other divisions will be launched making Paranormal Task Force™, Inc. a "One Stop"
resource for all paranormal needs of clients, the public and other organizations as well.

Greg has been a featured guest on many radio stations across the US, UK, and Canada and has
completed filming earlier this year (2007) with Keith Age and The Booth Brothers for "Children of the
Grave" which will be released on October 2, 2007. He also served as a Location Manager for that
project. He also completed filming for the Exspiro Productions documentary "The Other Side" which
was released earlier this year (2007). Greg has also authored articles and short stories concerning
his experiences within the paranormal realms and theories related to such which are published on the
World Wide Web. Some of these articles and stories have been selected for inclusion in “Weird
Hauntings II” and “Weird Missouri” which will be published in the near future.

Greg has also recently been added to the League of Paranormal Gentlemen. Also: See the new horror documentary trailers for "Children of the Grave" in which Missouri Paranormal Research.
