  • XZRS: John and Bea Brugge - World Paranormal Investigations
    World Paranormal Investigations - John and Bea Brugge are the Founders/Presidents of World Paranormal Investigations, LLC. The organization was founded in July of 2004. They organized the team with a couple of friends in the United Kingdom. The thought was that 2 separate countries could join together and investigate reports of the paranormal. Since 2004, they have conducted over 200 investigations. Their first major case was The Roff Home AKA the Watseka Wonder House in Watseka, Illinois. It is the location of the very first reported case of possession in the United States. John and Bea have traveled to the United Kingdom investigating locations in the West Midlands. In the early 90’s Bea traveled to London, England where she was able to visit the location of Stonehenge. World Paranormal Investigations uses both scientific and spiritual methods of investigating. John is a Spiritual Medium and has helped several families. He will go into a location with no knowledge or history. In October 2012, John and Bea met Tony and Victoria Vardon at an event they were holding called SHOCKtober. Tony and Victoria came as guests to promote Ghost Walk Studios’ award winning film, The Farm. December of the same year Tony and Victoria joined World Paranormal Investigations. Victoria has been involved with Ghost Walk Studios since 2006 where she was hired as a model for the company. Since her past days of modeling she eventually learned the business of filmmaking. She is now a Producer with Ghost Walk Studios where she is currently making films. While working with Ghost Walk Studios, her love for music landed her a position working with bands as a Manager/Promoter. Tony is an award winning illustrator with over 18 years of being a freelance artist. Some of his clients include The Booth Brothers, Spooked TV Productions, Robbie Thomas, Radiograph Pictures, Dark Siege Comics, Haunted Path Magazine, Fairway Auto Sales, EB Games, CO-OP Optical, Bea Brugge. Tony is the Art Director with Ghost Walk Studios and works along the sides of Rocky Karlage and Victoria. A couple of years ago, John and Bea were approached about filming a Anti-bullying PSA. John and Bea along with Victoria and Tony Vardon wrote the script. The PSA was filmed and edited by Steve Olander and the movie was submitted to Young Productions 36 and Asphyxiated Films for the movie Psychotic State. Psychotic State is about a young man that was bullied all of his life and as a grown up he quits taking his medication only to get revenge on those that tormented him as a child. The same year, John and Bea filmed the PSA they were asked to film an episode of Dead People See Me. It was for the premiere episode for The GTN TV Network. Through the years, WPI has been featured in several media outlets; WMJI 105.7, Action 19 News, The Ghostville Times, X-Zone Radio, Bluefield Daily Press (West Virginia), West Virginia South Magazine, WVVA-TV, Sun Newspaper, The Kent Stater, The Wacky World of Sal Lizard Radio Show, The Malliard Report, The Uncommon Geek, ZTOTV (Zombie Takeover TV), 2 Rockin’ Cousins Radio Show, Talent Monthly Magazine, The Left N’ Right Show, Kinte Indyshowcase, The Keith Harris Show. This is just to name a few. In 2013, John and Bea went to work as Producers for Sal Lizard’s radio show, The Wacky World of Sal Lizard. Sal approached them in 2014 about a radio show of their own. With much thought they launched The Erie Hours with WPI in July of 2014. In early 2015, the team created and is currently working on their own television show called WPI Seeking The Truth. World Paranormal Investigations is behind the creation and production of it. Along with World Paranormal Investigations, Dad and Chad Productions will be working in Association with the show.

  • XZRS: Brian Dunning - Skeptoid or Fraudster?
    This is not a conspiracy, but the truth.
    This is from the Federal Bureau of Investigation:
    SAN JOSE—Brian Andrew Dunning pleaded guilty in federal court in San Jose on April 15, 2013, to wire fraud, United States Attorney Melinda Haag announced.
    In pleading guilty, Dunning admitted that, between approximately May 2006 and June 2007, he engaged in a scheme to defraud eBay through so-called “cookie stuffing.” According to the plea agreement, commissions paid to Dunning’s company, Kessler’s Flying Circus (KFC), which Dunning owned jointly with his brother, totaled approximately $5.2 million during that period from eBay’s domestic Affiliate Program.
    According to the plea agreement, in approximately April 2005, Dunning and his brother formed KFC, through which they participated in the eBay Affiliate Program. The Affiliate Program was a means by which eBay worked with KFC and other affiliates to drive Internet traffic to eBay’s websites. Under the program, an affiliate was supposed to send visitors to eBay’s website by displaying an eBay advertisement, or link, on the affiliate’s website. If a visitor clicked on the eBay link or ad, he or she was redirected to eBay’s website. If that user subsequently conducted a “revenue action” on eBay’s website within a designated period of time, eBay paid the affiliate a commission for the referral.
    Dunning admitted that he carried out his scheme by providing free applications at two of his websites that users could download and use on their own websites: ProfileMaps.info, which showed the physical location of visitors to a MySpace profile, and WhoLinked.com, which showed who was linking to the user’s website or blog. Both applications contained code Dunning had written that operated so that, when a user visited a website that had installed the application, the code would cause the user’s browser to receive a cookie with KFC’s ID number, even though the user did not click on an eBay ad or link, did not see any content from eBay’s website, and did not realize that his or her browser had been re-directed to eBay’s tracking server. As a result, KFC would be paid if that user subsequently conducted an eBay revenue action within a certain period of time.
    Dunning, 47, of Laguna Niguel, California, was indicted by a federal grand jury on June 24, 2010, and charged with five counts of wire fraud, in violation of Title 18, United States Code, Section 1343. Under the plea agreement, Dunning pleaded guilty to a superseding information, filed on April 15, 2013, that alleged a separate violation of the same statute. In his plea agreement, Dunning admitted that he received payments for revenue actions for which he was not entitled to be compensated but reserved the right to dispute how much of those payments were attributable to the cookie stuffing scheme.
    An evidentiary hearing to determine the loss amount will be held on August 8, 2013, before United States District Judge Edward J. Davila, in San Jose. The maximum statutory penalty for a violation of 18 U.S.C. § 1343 is 20 years’ imprisonment and a fine of $250,000, or twice the gross gain or gross loss from the offense, whichever is greater, plus restitution. However, any sentence following conviction would be imposed by the court after consideration of the U.S. Sentencing Guidelines and the federal statute governing the imposition of a sentence, 18 U.S.C. § 3553.
    David R. Callaway and Kyle F. Waldinger are the Assistant U.S. Attorneys who are prosecuting the case with the assistance of Elise Etter, Rawaty Yim, and Elizabeth Garcia. The prosecution is the result of an investigation by the Federal Bureau of Investigation.
