Zach McCormick and Adam Bonnett view the paranormal from very different perspectives, literally.
Zach's interest in the paranormal began at an early age. As a child, he reveled in hearing stories that made him sleep with his bedroom light on. His interest in the paranormal took hold in his twenties when he began tracking down local urban legends, taking photographs along the way. A few decent pictures later and his photography career began as well.
After a few years of legend tripping, he stumbled upon the Trans Allegheny Lunatic Asylum. He soon found himself working at TALA and immersed in the paranormal. Zach branched out, picking up gigs at Pennhurst State School and numerous residential investigations. He combined his passion for photography with his love of the paranormal.. A creative person by nature, Zach is also an accomplished musician.
Adam Bonnett is a man unlike any other in the paranormal field. Despite being wheelchair bound, Adam has never let his condition hinder him. Adam started working at TALA four years ago, first in the Halloween haunted attraction and later on the ghost hunts. Now an assistant manager, he is as famous at TALA as its resident ghosts! Throughout the years he has experienced a bounty of paranormal phenomenon.
Adam's nickname (and his alter-ego) is Glider. Glider, a wheelchair bound ghost, is a character he created and copyrighted to represent him and others who may be in a similar situation, bringing awareness and spreading the message that "if you set your mind to it; there are no limits."

Karen Rontowski and Sonya King bring comedy and paranormal insight to audiences through television, film, radio, print media and live performances.
Sonya is an animal communicator and a Reiki master; Karen provides tarot card readings, is also a Reiki master, and sets up and guides ghost hunting events.
Karen's upbeat, optimistic and clean sense of humor has earned her headlining spots all over the world. She has also opened for such show biz legends as Bob Hope, Ray Charles and the Monkees. Often described as a "New Age Hippie" Rontowski says "there is no time like the present to be living in the past."
Karen has over 20 years of experience as a reader in the art of the tarot, and is an expert in tarot history, archetypes and symbolism.  More than just making predictions, the cards have many spiritual lessons that can help people navigate through life’s problems.
Animals are wise, and when we listen to what they have to say, we learn how to live differently.  They communicate using images, emotions, and feelings, and Sonya connects with an animal and puts words to those expressions in a way that’s easily understood.
Sonya has done voice over work, written for radio, and even has her own weekly radio segment for Cumulus Media.  Sonya won the Carnival Cruise Competition which led to a great deal of work for various cruise lines.  She can be seen in the independent film Two Days Back, and appeared on Good Morning America on ABC, but really stirred things up with her appearance on ABC’s The View with Barbara Walters and Joy Behar.  That led to an appearance with Joy at famed Caroline’s Comedy Club in New York City.

Gloria Loring's Coincidence is God's Way of Remaining Anonymous: Reflections on Daytime Dramas and Divine Intervention, is a celebrity autobiography detailing a series of extraordinary coincidences that transformed her life.
Although coincidence appears to come out of the blue, Gloria Loring knows that it’s possible to experience divine intervention in our everyday lives. Combining scientific observation, spiritual wisdom, and what Loring calls “EBL,” evidence-based living, this memoir offers a prescriptive in-depth look at the spiritual dimension of coincidence: where it comes from, how we attract it, and how we use it for the betterment of ourselves and those we love.
In addition to insight and revelation, Coincidence has the unique feature of its own original soundtrack co-written by Loring. Each chapter begins with a song lyric written out of the experiences and principles presented therein. The songs are featured on her CD Turn the Page.
Gloria Loring is the recording artist of the #1 hit “Friends and Lovers”; co-composer and singer of TV theme song Facts of Life; a Days of Our Lives audience favorite as “Liz Chandler”; author of six books benefitting people living with diabetes; and mother of R&B singing sensation and Duets superstar Robin Thicke.
We continue the spiritual journey begun in our earlier talk with Gloria.

Reporter Brian Bethel's harrowing encounter with Black Eyed Kids in a movie theater parking lot brought the phenomenon to the Internet and global attention:
"Both boys stared at me with coal-black eyes. The sort of eyes one sees these days on aliens or bargain-basement vampires on late night television. Soulless orbs like two great swathes of starless night."
What WERE these things? Where did they come from? What was their intent?
Brian and his tale recently appeared on the BADLANDS episode of Destination America's MONSTERS AND MYSTERIES IN AMERICA.
Jason Offutt has written extensively about Black Eyed Kidsencounters:
"The children approach quietly, yet forcefully. They insist on coming inside your house to use the telephone or to get a drink of water. For some reason these children frighten you, and as your hand reaches up to open the door you see why. Their eyes are black. No iris, no whites, just an empty, soulless void."
His books include “Paranormal Missouri,” “What Lurks Beyond,” “Darkness Walks: Shadow People Among us,” “Haunted Missouri,” “On Being Dad;” the upcoming “Through a Corn-Swept Land” “The Dead Earth.” Jason’s work on the paranormal can be seen at from-the-shadows.blogspot.com, and mysteriousuniverse.org. He lives with his family in Northwest Missouri where he teaches college journalism, and keeps humanity safe from the forces of evil.

Syfy's DEEP SOUTH PARANORMAL (Wednesdays at 10pE) follows a bayou-based investigative team on a mission, taking on anything from swamp apparitions to haunted plantation houses and Southern voodoo legends. These larger-than-life characters become deadly serious when it comes to their investigations, which deal not only with the hazards of paranormal phenomenon, but with swampy natural dangers like gators, snakes, spiders, wild hogs, and mosquitos.
Jonathan Hodges was born and raised deep in the country outside of Huntsville, Alabama, where he currently resides on the same land his great grandparents first owned. Hodges is known as the "man with the plan" as he applies science and inventive tactics to the group's investigations. Jon graduated from the University of Alabama in Huntsville with a degree in business, and even though he has a white collar desk job by day, his real passion is the outdoors and everything paranormal.
By day, Benny Reed works as an electronics technician for a government contractor. Benny got into paranormal investigation after experiencing a number of strange ghost sightings and poltergeist occurrences while growing up in Elora, Tennessee.
Benny spent eight years in the U.S. Army National Guard and served two separate tours of duty. After his last deployment to Iraq, he joined Deep South Paranormal to get some answers about why spirits are still hanging around and if there is some way to help them move on.
Investigations this season include Alabama’s Bear Creek Swamp, the Old Cahawba ghost town, Florida’s Manntown Cemetery and the Mont Helena Plantation in the Mississippi Delta, to name just a few.
