Amber
Founder, Case Manager & Lead Investigator
Amber's childhood roots lie in Barberton, Ohio, but she relocated to Cuyahoga Falls in 2005 with her two children, where she still resides. Her encounters with the paranormal began during her early years, far beyond the realm of a typical imaginary friend. She referred to them as "them guys." These experiences of seeing, feeling, and hearing things that others did not recognize were initially dismissed as mere products of her imagination. As she grew older, the supernatural nature of these occurrences became confirmed, driving her curiosity about the paranormal.
Her intrigue stemmed from the disparity between the strange phenomena she perceived and the lack of awareness among those around her. Amber witnessed people nearby that others couldn't see, heard whispers in the night while trying to sleep, and observed dark shadows swirling on the ceiling. These experiences ignited her desire to explore the uncharted territories of the paranormal, to comprehend and confront her fears.
Though she's had a passion for the paranormal for many years, Amber's professional involvement began in 2015 when she joined Ectovision Paranormal as a case manager. She has delved into investigations at various locations, from famous sites like the Hinsdale House, Madison Seminary, and Monroe House to private residences. Her mission now revolves around helping others find answers and clarity amidst the mysteries of the paranormal. She co-founded this team with the intention of assisting other teams, locations, and homeowners on their quest for understanding.
Amber's spiritual beliefs have been influenced by her upbringing in different churches. She holds the title of an ordained minister and embraces a blend of beliefs, including those from Native American traditions, while maintaining a connection to a higher power or Creator. Although not strictly religious, she embodies a spiritual essence, holding the belief that guardian angels watch over us, and the energy we radiate into the universe shapes our experiences.
Chris
Lead IT, Spirit Counselor & Investigator
Although born and raised in NE Ohio, Chris's life journey has taken him beyond Ohio's borders, immersing him in diverse spiritual influences as he ventured from northeastern Ohio to the enchanting Smoky Mountains of Georgia, a South Dakota, Dakota reservation, and the tranquil Amish country of western New York, with various stops in between. Currently, he resides in Summit County, Ohio, together with his wife and children.
An ordained minister, Chris's lifelong fascination with the supernatural has been a driving force. His empathetic nature, combined with keen listening and observation skills, defines him. His early experiences with night terrors as a child instilled a quest for understanding their underlying significance, leading him on a profound exploration of the paranormal and psychology. He sought to unravel how the paranormal intersects with life and vice versa.
Chris has also accumulated valuable experience as an investigator and production assistant with EctoVision Paranormal. In this capacity, he participated in investigations of private residences and historical sites, including notable locations.
Despite his deep engagement with the paranormal, Chris maintains a healthy dose of skepticism, remaining open to a wide spectrum of possibilities, whether ordinary or supernatural. With a background in both psychology and parapsychology, he comprehends that the world extends beyond what we perceive with our senses, yet he constantly seeks the most rational explanations available.
